The problem with romance is that everyone has different taste and finding a series which strikes a perfect balance to your taste can be a rare, rare thing. I've read some really badly written books and some merely sloppily written books, I've read good books and also life changing books. Of course, after Deathly Hallows managed to kill all enthusiasm I once had for the series in one crappy epilogue and I began seeing the flaws in the books I'd previously glossed over due to my passion for all things Hogwarts, I returned to looking for a new series to read. I got sidelined on paranormal romance for a few years whilst I was an extremely active and also completely obsessed member of the Harry Potter fandom. I loved reading LJ Smith's nightworld series and I was always on the lookout for books of a similar nature. I got hooked on them when as a teenage student, I lived with a bunch of girls and that was all they had to read. I'm always on the search for a great paranormal romance series. Here are the series of events which lead me to this book, you can skip ahead to the actual review part if you wish, but I couldn't really address how I came across this book without a little background first.

Honestly, I like Kondoh so much because he utilised his accounting skills and math knowledge on his position as an accounting employee in the royal palace.

Kehinde Andrews, a professor of Black Studies at Birmingham City University, questions whether the people of Britain and the Empire's successor, the Commonwealth, really want a 74-year-old white man as their representative. More fundamentally, some in Britain's increasingly diverse society want a re-examination of the monarchy's links to the trade in enslaved Africans and its role in the former British Empire, which ruled over large parts of Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. And the royal family is riven with controversy as Charles' younger son, Prince Harry, lobs criticism from his base in Southern California. Britain is gripped by double-digit inflation that is eroding living standards and making some people question the expense of the coronation. Opinion polls show that support for the monarchy has weakened over time. |
