Sweet, classic, tropey YA fun, just like The Selection and similar novels. So, when King Jameson suddenly proposes and Hollis realizes the expectations she would have to meet as queen, she begins to wonder if life as a royal is all it is cracked up to be. Enter Silas- a blue eye, blonde artisan who Hollis feels inexplicably drawn to. Naturally, she is delighted to have caught the King’s attention and enjoys the gifts he continuously showers upon her. During their courtship, a refugee family from a neighboring country seeks protection in the castle where Hollis and Jameson live. The story follows a young Hollis Brite, an aristocrat who has caught the eye of the playboy King Jameson.

Rannulf is the king’s fixer (and given that the king in question is Edward I, known for his ruthlessness, well…) who needs to learn to forgive himself. I loved the journey for both of the main characters. There are some standard Medieval romance scenes-for example, the our hero wakes up wounded, thinks he’s in Hell, and mistakes the heroine for an angel-but Kingston’s prose really elevate these moments so that though the beats feel familiar, they are not cliché.
