Trigger warning: this book contains rape content. 
 It's London season time where every available rich lad and lady arrive in Europe to seek a future husband or wife. This season is an even more epic one with a royal wedding on the horizon making people even more keen on finding a match. Let's just say lots and lots of horny teenagers and young adults in one palace all at once for a season. That was pretty much the entire plot. Everyone coming to London and trying to find a future match. There was no other back story until like the very end of the book where they tried throwing in a little pathetic twist. 
 There was a ridiculous amount of different point of views in this book including: Marie-Victoria, Aelwyn, Wolfgang, Ronan, and Isabelle. The character jumping made it really hard to get 100% into any characters perspective. 
 Favorite ship (get it!): Wolf and Ronan! 
 Plot twist! (view spoiler)[ 
 Eleanor had two daughters seventeen years ago. 
 One from the seed of her long-dead husband. And the other from the seed of her most trusted advisor. 
 One to rule, and one to serve. 
 They were sisters-twins-best friends born into separate destinies.
