Review: Claire Kent's PRINCESS.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own.

​Things are pretty brutal on a large scale IRL & yet somehow Claire Kent’s post apocalyptic romances hit the sweet spot every single time.

I was talking with a friend about these books & what we love about them recently:

🌻 the steam (so good, especially because Kent really plays with the idea of people hooking up in the secret hours & there aren’t any feelings involved, definitely not ;) ).

 🌻 The hope, even though the old world is gone & the new world is uncertain every day.

 🌻 The voice. These are just so readable!

In Princess, Olivia, the daughter of a billionaire techie, has been living in a bunker for five years—since right before a major asteroid hit Earth, destroying life as they knew it.

She’s there with Grant, among others. He’s given her the impression that he’s unmoved by her again & again but one day they turn to each other, set the room on fire, & repeat repeat. But are those pesky feelings one-sided?

Though this book isn’t my fave of her post apocalyptic collection—that goes to Haven—it’s got everything I love about her books. The steam is great, the tension & the romance arc feel developed for my maximum enjoyment ;), & there’s a nicely portrayed conflict between his wish to protect her—like he’s done since they’ve known each other—& her desire to be viewed as equal.

Definitely check this series out if you’re looking for something dark but soft where it counts!

4 ⭐️. Out now. 

Lots of CWs, including death and violence.
