Princess by Sapphire Knight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book review is for Princess (an Oath Keepers MC Standalone Novel) by Sapphire Knight. Kindle Edition

As always, Mrs. Knight does NOT disappoint. Of course, this book deserves 5 stars (as do all of her other novels), and without spoiling any of the details for you, here's why:

Plot: Well written and full of unexpected, but believable (for an MC) scenarios. Half way through I thought the story was coming to an end (because a lot had happened already), but then out of nowhere I found myself on a life threatening mission, followed by WTF, Holy Sh*t-this is gonna-be-bad-danger. Then, with anxiety building and evolving into some much-needed passion...we get right into the surprising (but in hindsight, shoulda saw it coming) ending. No plot holes left in the main story, but a distinct opportunity present to have stories written about secondary characters and sub-plots. (Can't wait!)

Characters: Never once did I doubt the love Viking and Princess had for each other. Their attraction and need for one another radiated like flames off of the “pages.” Princess fit her name well~ strong-willed, sassy, flawed in her judgment at times... but Viking? I think I've only ever loved Tate/Luka from SK's “Secrets,” as much. Put it this way, if I'd never met my husband, I'd probably call B.S. on Sapphire's storybook men. Men that obsessive, passionate, in control, AND good in bed, don't exist... do they? There was also a host of other characters, some from the other books, but definitely a stand alone story.

The Writing: I haven't read all of Sapphire's books yet (which is proving to be a challenge- SO HOT!!), but this one does like the rest, reads smoothly, like a well-lubed sheath... with little to none noticeable grammatical mistakes/spelling errors.

In Case You Wanted to Know: It took me an incredibly long time to get through this book (like 6 days, I know- Shameful), but before you think that is a bad thing or the book's fault, let me tell you why.

#1 I chose to read this book at the worst possible time. Not only do I have 5 major (self-imposed) deadlines I'm trying to meet, but I also had my son's 3-day birthday celebration this past weekend, with friends & family over, and the party to plan & cook for.

#2 This just so happens to be during my 2-week “in-heat” time of the month, where my husband and I are inseparable and insatiable...

And? Well, I usually do my reading, relaxed in bed, because if the family thinks I am sleeping, then they might just let me have some quiet time. BUT...reading any of Sapphire's books while already hot as hell, next to a husband who is ready to go as soon as his primitive nose smells the surplus of pheromones I'm giving off- is a bad idea... Okay, it's a bad idea if my goal is to finish the book!

In typical S.K. Fashion, this novel is spanked with panty-drenching, slick your lips- kind of scenes... And what I like most, they're not drawn out, over detailed, “my gosh, are they doing it again/done yet?” type of scenes. Instead, they're longer than an afternoon quickie but shorter than a “holy sh*t! I'm late and losing my job!” rendezvous.

Overall: In her closing note, Sapphire says, “This may not be the ending you were hoping for... if you were able to experience even a fraction of what I felt when writing it...” Well, Sapphire, I did. Every part. Every emotion. Excited, anxious, uneasy. Filled with dread, consumed by desire. Remorsefully bawling like a baby, then finally content with the raw beauty of this well-told story. Great job Sapphire Knight. Keep them coming. Fan for life.

P.S. Count my vote in for Nightmare & Bethany ;-)
