Anwen's uncanny resemblance to Princess Lavena has been a curse since the moment she entered her service, as the spoiled princess has frequently used it to her advantage by forcing Anwen to switch places with her. But Princess Lavena’s latest scheme is her worst—and most dangerous—yet: compelling Anwen to take the princess’s place in her marriage to her loathed fiancé, Prince Liam.

Bound by an enchanted contract not to reveal the charade, Anwen is forced to go through with the masquerade and endure a marriage to a man who despises the woman he believes her to be. As time goes on, Anwen struggles not only to maintain her identity, but to fight her deepening feelings as she begins to fall in love with her new husband, a man who not only isn't hers to keep, but who has no idea who she really is.

My Review: 4.5 Stars
 
First off, this series has some of the most beautiful covers I've ever seen! Secondly, this series is great! I wasn't in love with the last book, but this one had my heart swooning in a snap.
 
Anwen has been the diva princess's servant for years and they look almost identical to one another. When Princess Lavena places a curse on Anwen, forcing her to take her place in an arranged marriage with Prince Liam, a whole new world opens up.
 
Anwen has the heart of a saint and is one of the most good, kind, and generous souls around. It takes a minute, but her true self starts breaking down the walls surrounding Liam's heart. I absolutely adored Anwen and didn't envy her situation one little bit! As the chemistry ignited, I found myself falling in love with this union as the characters battled their emotions and the lies and enchantment that swirled around them.
 
Liam is one of the most charming, attentive, and attractive men to grace the screen of my Kindle, but I was slightly disappointed that love turned him into a sappy pile of mush. Don't get me wrong, I loved that, but I wanted to see some of the mischievous antics that he was known for in the previous books emerge here and there, because that's what really caught my attention. I know that love can change and soften a person, but I wanted him to retain that thread of truth to himself too.
 
This is a story that mainly focuses on love and for a loophole for love to conquer all and that sang straight to my heart. I loved getting to know some of the other characters better, along this journey to happily ever after, and I'm crossing my fingers that Nolan and Archer get stories eventually. I also adored Liam's sisters and would love stories of them too. Wow--if I get my way, I'll be busy reading for the next little while. 😉
 
Content: mild+ romance (swoony, light innuendo, kissing)
