The writing was questionable in one aspect with the author’s going into 2nd person when describing a character’s path to fame and how you (the reader) should feel about them as a character. There are some parts of the story that I was less than enthused about as well. The main character even alters his appearance and carefully chooses what color clothes he wears in order to show his pride and loyalty to his father!

It may not seem like it to some who know me outside of this website and in real life, but the idea of a warm, close knit family is so incredibly important to me, and I always love to see it shown in even fictional families like the one in this book, who are also really popular reality TV stars. The theme of family was also something important to take out of this book as Maximoff goes to extraordinary lengths for those he truly cares about. As you can probably tell by now in this review, It’s hard to say anything bad about the romance of this book. The banter was funny, playful, sexy, and also just so spectacularly done. The two main characters complimented each other very well, and helped each other grow as the story developed.

That relationship is, of course, the main driving force for most of those who’d want to read this book it was also my favorite aspect of the book as a whole. The relationship that grows between a hollywood heir and his roguish bodyguard is one that can be absolutely addicting to other readers to binge-read.
