Review - The Pirate’s Treasure by Lisa Oliver
My rating:
Pirate Captain Rojan has had his eye on Petrov for quite some time. He might be just a little bit obsessed with the duke who acts as bodyguard to the Crown Prince, now married to his half brother, the king. When the two are thrown together after Rojan is attacked, Petrov finds the pirate “infuriating,” but can’t seem to stay away from the man. Together, the pair try to track down the people trying to undermine the new king, which may be easier than surviving their hastily arranged nuptials.
Review - The Dragon's Devotion by Antonia Aquilante
My rating:
Corentin has a secret. Keeping it means keeping his people safe from an outside world that once hunted them down.

Bastien is related to the royal family, but has spent most of his time running the family’s estates away from the capital since his parents died in a boating accident, along with the Crown Prince and Princess.
