Hooray - a book with a British heroine of colour! And one of the supporting characters is Muslim. Another is mentioned as being bisexual. But they 'just are' - accepted without causing issues in the story.
Cherry is a stunning, voluptuous, confident, powerhouse of a young woman.
OK, so she seems totally inappropriate for her HR job in a school...err...academy, but hey, it's fiction.
Enter in damaged Prince Ruben. Of course, he's devastatingly attractive too. And from some little European island.
At the start, I thought his character was going to be into BDSM, but it's more power play.
Still, the few sex scenes are hot af!
I really liked how Cherry was there to rescue the prince; the reverse 'damsel in distress'.
There was good character development and plenty of action. I cared about what happened to the characters and sped through this book.
Talking of speed, some aspects did feel a bit rushed. A little more time to expand on some points would've set this book at a 5*.
What I really did appreciate was Cherry calling Ruben out on his errors. She was upset and he was made to know about it, but she asked why he'd acted that way to gain understanding. She showed empathy and compassion.
Trigger warning: domestic violence/abuse.
If you're after a fab, modern, sexy read, pick this book. Because who doesn't love a misunderstood guy trying to be better?
