Description

ERIC MITCHELL'S STORY
I'm the bastard child, son to the mistress, my father's backup heir to the Mitchell empire. He sent me to Harvard. I left and became a Navy SEAL, but I'm back now, and I finished school on my own dime. I'm now the right hand man to Grayson  Bennett, the billionaire who runs the Bennett Empire. I'm now a few months from being a billionaire myself. I don't need my father's company or his love. My "brother" can have it. I will never go back there. I will never be the mistake my father made, the way he was the mistake my mother made.

And then she walks in the door, the princess I'd once wanted more than I'd wanted my father's love. She wants me to come back. She says my father needs to be saved. I don't want to save my father but I do want her. Deeply. Passionately. More than I want anything else.

But she's The Princess and I'm The Bastard. We don't fit. We don't belong together and yet she says he needs me, that she needs me. We're like sugar and spice, we don't mix, but I really crave a taste. Just one. What harm can just one taste do?

THIS IS BOOK ONE IN A TRILOGY

    I feel like I read the same sentence over and over. It was very redundant. no real character development the first 10 chapters and you have to purchase the next book for the conclusion.

    I really don’t like a book ending without any type of resolution. I understand it was part of a trilogy, but it just cuts off in the middle of the story.
  • Interesting Read!

    The two main characters have annoying tendencies about them. The way “The bastard” is used TOO often as an excuse/ description. Harper is supposed to be these strong female however she is written as more naive than anything else. Not my type of character builds.
  • No HEA, no resolution, half a novel.

    If there is no resolution, no HEA, no HFN - it isn’t a romance novel.

    By Sai,
    Well written $$$$complex, the intrigue between characters and the dimensions are not real. I consider the authors story has some links from others 📚📚☝️👵🏻👵🏻🤔Recommend reading 💭🤔

    Repetitive to a fault. He's a bastard, he's not a Kingston, they're not brother and sister - those plot points were hammered to death. I'm always curious to know what happens in the end but this time I'm cutting my losses and walking away, curiosity be damned.
