Noble Prince

If you've been here a bit or know me at all, I am a sucker for forced proximity. It is like one of my favorite tropes right up there with enemies to lovers and my other faves. This book delivered on tension and forced proximity! After Stone Princess, I was hoping that Luke would get a happy ending and this is it! Noble Prince follows Scarlett, Presley's sister who's just come back into her life, and Luke, Clifton Forge police chief. After the intense ending of Stone Princess, Scarlett finds herself in need of protection from the Arrowhead Warriors and, having limited resources, Luke is responsible for keeping her safe. Luke is an all around good guy which Scarlett needs after everything she has been through. There's tension, spice, a good story— I'm really enjoying this series! Really makes me want to rewatch Sons on Anarchy but idk if I want to relive the emotional damage

I enjoyed this book but it was a slow start, not because of the writing or characters but by the nature of the plot. The first half of the book is mostly interactions between two characters in one setting and it made me feel a little stir crazy.The second half of the book picks up quickly.

There's enough explanation of past events that it could be read as a standalone but I think a lot of the characters would fall flat without having read the previous books.

It was still good, not my favorite in the series but worth reading through. If I ever reread I'll probably skip this one.

Kind of feel like a bit of Stockholm syndrome going on here...... but I love Chief Luke so I will let it slide.

Would he and Scarlett still be together if he wasn't so attractive....?

We assume Scarlett is really troubled leading up to this book but from her pov we understand her better.
