The man in black is the worst spy Hope Clemens has ever encountered. After saving his life—twice—she decides it’s time to discover who he is and what he’s after. She’s not surprised when he gives her a false name. Claiming to be a prince is so unbelievable that it’s amusing. He could, however, be extremely useful, and she can’t say she minds sticking close to the handsome man.

With lives in danger and hearts on the line, can Nik and Hope learn to trust each other before it’s too late?

Hidden identities, a princess on the run, and three lives at stake… despite this, these royals and rebels must learn to trust and open themselves to a lifetime of love.

A comfortable romance that very neatly ties up the loose ends from the previous two books.

No rating

As usual, royalty in disguise and spy craft are my catnip, so I was very excited to give this book a go. Hope is good at code breaking, bad at socializing, and this is her first field assignment ever. Nik is well-meaning, but he knows even less about being a spy. It comes together as awkwardly as you'd assume, but at least they have each other as they stumble through their first mission. Their chemistry is comfortable, paced out over a month or so worth of story, with very little relationship drama as the assassination plot takes precedence in the story. Those looking for low-steam should be happy to find that there's a brief passionate kiss, but nothing further. Plot-wise, this is a very "comfort food" style story. I don't imagine readers will be too surprised, but the conclusion to this and the previous books is solid. Speaking of, this …

Speaking of, this is the third book in a series, but all three books take place concurrently. You don't need the first two to jump into this one, but the ending covers all three books, so it will spoil the ending of the previous two installments.
