My goodness. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book and I struggled through the 1st have but that ending!!! Holy mangos was that good!

Royalty comes with its perks in the Jewel but it also comes with its flaws.
 Royalty cannot bear their own children (well they can but they come out deformed and pass away).
 So they seek and purchase Surrogates. Once a female who has hit puberty test positive to be a Surrogate they are taken and kept at a facility to be auctioned off to these Royals.

We follow the story of Violet and her journey after being sold.

This story does have a romance but the story is more politically driven.

There were some faults that made this book a 4 instead of a 5.

Firstly the beginning just exploded with information and didn't really easy you into the plot. There were multiple times I had to reread the sections to understand what was going on or who certain people were.

Secondly the romance in this didn't give us much build up. I mean I do like the couple but there was not much to go progression wise.

Other than that this book was beautifully written and once I pushed through the 1st half I could not put it down.

Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
