We don't love the fortune hunter trope, and this book pushes it to 11. It's saved by the sweet & sexy relationship between Alec & Katherine and the amazing series setup.

41-Word Summaries:

Meg: Alec wants to marry Katherine for her money - but not just for her money, seriously! Katherine also wants to marry someone for her money (it’s complicated) - but not someone who wants to marry her for her money. Are you confused yet?

Laine: Two hot people who are really into each other and have what the other needs refuse to have an honest discussion and thus everything is drawn out. Very cool concepts about the Prince's unacknowledged Bastards banding together to improve their lots.
