A red-hot treat for you! This book has got everything. Love, lust, passion, deceit, secrets, and a whole lot more than you could even imagine. Chandelier’s plot is so original and addicting. I couldn’t put it down and had to read it twice. It is the first in the Tarnished Crowns trilogy and I am counting the days for Grenade and Emeralds to be released. It is so much more than a royal romance and it is twisted with politics, love, murder and betrayal.
Blair was never meant to wear the crown. She is an innocent who is caught up in a sinister plot to destroy her father’s throne. When she unwillingly becomes the next heir, her childhood love, Ben, returns as her body guard. She needs to guard her heart from him, but he is the only one who can keep her safe. As things reach a boiling point, so does their chemistry. Adding fuel to the blaze, they befriend Isaac, the advisor to their enemy. The three of them discover a love deeper than secrets and pain, but only time will tell if their love will withstand the political divide.
Loved it.
Although not my usual read I love Annie’s books so obviously had to read it and I am so happy that I did. It was addictive and so brilliantly written I couldn’t put it down. I was pulled in and kept there till the end and then I needed more. I don’t want to say much as I don’t want to give the story away but I would definitely recommend you read this even if it isn’t your usual read.
What an amazing story… so many great characters and the story line is original and hot as sin! A fabulous start to a trilogy where I hope to learn much more about these interesting people. So much mystery and intrigue surround this book, everyone has secrets and no one is above reproach… the ending leaves so many unanswered questions, I can’t wait for the next installment.
So I have a feeling this series is going to be intense. We have a lot going on in just this book that i know it will keep me hooked. I loved Blair. She was strong and I love that she wasn’t some scared princess but a woman who would be strong enough to be queen. The men were great. We didn’t get any real MMF feels in this book but I feel like it will come full force in the next one. Ugh Ben was so hot and cold that honestly it was hard to keep up with him st times. I like Isaac and his sweet demeanor but I also feel like he could be all the alpha that I need in a man. The author really did good with descriptions to help me picture everything. I felt like I could see all the settings and feel the heroines emotions. I won’t give spoilers but I can’t wait to read the next one. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Omg…This book is great! When I started reading it I didn’t know what to expect. I went in thinking I wasn’t going to like this book since I have never read a book about two guys and a girl, but I was so wrong. I loved and enjoyed reading this book very much and I can’t wait to read the next book in this trilogy! If you like romance/royalty stories then you will love this story! Annie Dyer did great with this first book – I can’t imagine what she’s written for last two books. I’m so excited for them! I highly recommend this book! I couldn’t put it down and I’m guessing a lot of you will do the same!
So, I was given a chance to read an mmf trilogy by an author I’ve never read, and it’s set in a very tense time between two countries and the people who run them. I am sooo glad I read this.
To start with, the storyline is interesting, with some mystery, secrets, and who doesn’t like seeing what it’s really like for royalty? Then we have the three main characters. The princess, the protector, and the kingmaker. Blair is smart but has a secretly naughty side, knows her role, but also stays true to herself. Ben is her first love basically. A friend she hasn’t seen in years, who is now her guard. Then there’s Isaac. He’s the advisor to the other country, the flipside of it all. These men have secrets, and some are super hotttttt. Others have yet to be revealed.
It ended in a big way, with so much upheaval and I can NOT wait to see where this takes us. Not just for the three I mentioned, but for all the side characters who have more than a small role. I’m really enjoying this so far.
A princess used by her family as a spy and pawn and two men each with their own agenda.
A love triangle filled with mystery, intrigue and lots of chemistry. Each character has an interesting background filled with emotions and feelings that we can all relate to. A great balance of the characters driving the plot and the plot affecting the characters. You won’t be disappointed.
I finished this book around 4AM this morning. I’m still trying to gather my thoughts on how to write this review without giving away details that aren’t in the blurb.
Although, this book is fiction I fear it has more fact to it than we realize. If we really knew what went on behind the scene we would be terrorized, scandalized and devastated. What I found extremely interesting is we get to catch a glimpse of the lives of the people who are not in the spotlight and how their everyday activities are impacted by the decision of others in their family and others in power. They have very limited say and are kept under a microscope without their approval. Their lives are not their own. They are not at liberty to love who they want out in the open or be who they really are. They are trinkets to be dangled in front of others to distract from what is really happening. Then there are the others who are in fact, pulling the strings behind the candidate, the royal, whoever. They are the brains, the real power.
This is just some of what you’ll get in this thrilling tale. Oh yes, you’ll get all the heat you’re looking for as well as intrigue, drama, goosebump moments and feelings of longing.
I can’t wait to see more of the dynamic between Blair, Ben and Isaac and how this all plays out. The temperature is already rising on all fronts so fire is brewing and there is sure to be a dynamic explosion. I have my fire gear on and I’m ready to dive into the flames…bring on Grenade!!!
This book is a powerful story! It’s the story of Blair and Ben. It is about politics and monarchy, and the separation versus union of her country to another. Her life is complicated by what she is expected to do as a princess and the life she would like to live out in the open. She is torn between two men and their chemistry is amazing. The three if them are hot!
This book ends where it starts, with her brother being shot after a speech, while she is being pleasured by the two men, Ben and Isaac.
I loved this story, now I’m off to the next book in the series.
Such a thrilling start to The Tarnished Crown Trilogy!
Blair and Ben are quite delicious together,add Isaac and it’s down right exhilarating! This story has it all romance,sexiness,political intrigue and heartfelt emotions with a ending you won’t believe!
Chandelier is book one in the Tarnished Crown trilogy and it’s MMF. It is flipping amazing! The trilogy is about Blair, a Scottish Princess, Ben her bodyguard, but they have a past and Isaac an advisor to the Prime minister, the kingmaker. Chandelier is told from Blair’s point of view and just from the prologue alone you will be desperate to know what happens! Blair is a reluctant princess, she would rather just lead a normal life. Early on it’s clear that her brother is trying to set Blair up with the prime minister but Blair is having none of it. The chemistry between Blair and Ben is beyond hot! Then Isaac enters the mix! By the end of Chandelier you will be desperat to find out what happens next! I know that I am! Fantastic start to this amazing trilogy by Annie.
