Terrible. Based the whole thing on a fun, silly trope then took all the enjoyment and creativity out of it. I’ve read bad fanfiction that had better character development than this. Dialogue was so wooden and idiotic - not remotely realistic. Smut was cringey. I read the entire book and I still couldn’t give you defining characteristics about anyone, including the two protagonists beyond what they were introduced as: Princess and slightly stupid bodyguard [“Bounty Hunter”]. Top femme, bottom butch - ugh. Desperately needed a copyeditor (and an editor in general) with how many basic grammar errors and typos there were. Embarrassing.
