Jodi Ellen Malpas has done it again! The perfect alpha male! Josh Jameson is a Hollywood actor-a famous one,so good looking, perfect body, a playboy. Like I said-a perfect hero!
Meet Princess Adeline, the public adores her, she is beautiful, poised, kindhearted-and a source of contention for the King-she bows to no one! All she wants is a normal life, free of all the restraints being a princess automatically causes her to have, she is supposed to do everything her station in life and the daughter of the King and Queen ask of her.
However they do not call her the Controversial Princess for nothing. Her older brother is the perfect one-John-did everything asked of him, married to a wife picked for him, and now 8 years later finally a royal baby is on the way. Then there is her favorite brother Eddie who adores her! He too does as he must, however Eddie and Adeline are not all stuffy, and he too does not like the thought of being a King if something happened to his brother and the King, his father. Eddie loves to party and carry on, with his sister in tow!
The book opens and we meet the Princess getting ready for her thirtieth birthday party at the King's palace. Her mother the Queen loves all of her children, and even though she stays out of whatever the King has going for Adeline, her Mother seldom says anything.
Into her birthday party wanders Josh Jameson, the movie star! She watches as he approaches her and as they say-all bets are off. He is handsome, exudes confidence, and he sees Adeline for the first time and it is game over for him!
The other character I really love is Damon, who is in charge of Adeline's security, and only he truly knows what is going on with her. Over the years he has covered for her antics but he truly loves her.
I do not want to give anything else away, so you will have to read the book to find out, however this book is brilliant and is decadent, but you will see how Josh is with Adeline and his perception of what she needs not wants is amazing. Their love shines off the pages of this book!
Be prepared to laugh, to cry, to get angry and frustrated, but most of all fall in love with Jodi's new hero and heroine! In true Jodi fashion however, the way she ends this book will send you over and I know after reading this I will have a book hangover until Part 2 comes out in early August!
I gave this book 5 brilliant stars!

Best JEM book yet!
I never thought I would love this book so much. I have read MANY of Jodi's books, but this one is definitely one of my favorites. Josh Jameson may have stole my heart away from Jesse Ward. Princess Adeline is such a strong and rebellious character. This book left me turning the pages and wanting more. My heart was racing at every turning point in the story! I mean who doesn't love a forbidden love story?!

She done it again she as grabbed me into a hot and steamy world. I love the twist and turns in this story. You always questioning who is jeopardising Adeline and Josh relationship. I love that she brought two different people together as you notice they start to change in a good way they don't care about Adeline's title she is born to do. I love how Josh would do anything for Adeline. I love all Jodi's alpha males I couldn't position them as I love them equally.
I didn't want this book to end really. I would love more but that's what you always get from Jodi a world where you want to read on and on. If you new to Jodi's books make sure to start with One Night 3 book series as you won't be able to put it down and you will want to buy all of them.
Now I have her new book Gentleman Sinner on my To Be Read pile. I can't wait to open it up and get consumed of love, darkness and smolding scenes with the alpha male Theo Kane.
