![]() ![]() ![]() Phase 5: Really, really, really enjoying book. It sat on my shelves staring at me for…quite a while. Oh gosh, sometimes not being approved can be good, especially with my TBR. Phase 3: Thinking I might not have been approved, and feeling relieved because I don’t want to give this book a horrible review! Phase 2: reading A LOT of negative reviews and getting worried that I won’t like it if I’m sent it for review.Ĭrap, crap, crap, I’m going to hate it, I’m going to HATE THIS BOOK. ![]() Even before reading this book I went on a rollercoaster of liking it and not liking it.īecause, you know, PRETTY COVER and AWESOME DESCRIPTION. Though his presence makes life in the Jewel a bit brighter, the consequences of their illicit relationship will cost them both more than they bargained for. But then a forbidden romance erupts between Violet and a handsome gentleman hired as a companion to the Duchess’s petulant niece. Violet must accept the ugly realities of her existence… and try to stay alive. Purchased at the surrogacy auction by the Duchess of the Lake and greeted with a slap to the face, Violet (now known only as #197) quickly learns of the brutal truths that lie beneath the Jewel’s glittering facade: the cruelty, backstabbing, and hidden violence that have become the royal way of life. Violet, born and raised in the Marsh, has been trained as a surrogate for the royalty-because in the Jewel the only thing more important than opulence is offspring. ![]() But for girls like Violet, the Jewel means servitude.
