Week 35 Review: The Rose Bargain

From Goodreads:
The Cruel Prince meets Bridgerton in this captivating fantasy brimming with heart-pounding romance, vicious competition, and beautiful, cruel fae, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch Haven, Sasha Peyton Smith.

Every citizen of England is granted one bargain from their immortal fae queen. High society girls are expected to bargain for qualities that will win them a rare talent for piano in exchange for one's happiest childhood memory. A perfect smile for one's ability to taste.

But Ivy Benton's debut season arrives with a shocking a competition to secure the heart of the Queen's fae son, Prince Bram. A prize that could save Ivy's family from ruin… and free her sister from the bargain that destroyed her.

Yet every glittering fae deal has a rotting heart, and at the centre of this contest is a dark plot that could destroy everything.

Sweepingly romantic and deceptively enchanting, this alternate history romantasy will enthrall readers of Lauren Roberts Stephanie Garber, and Sarah J Maas.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I've been meaning to read her other books, but I just didn't have a chance to pick them up, so I'm really glad that I got this chance to read this book, it was so entertaining to read! I loved this alt-history with fae, it was so good! 

I really enjoyed Ivy's story! This is a story about a sister who was left behind, who is struggling with that fact, and the secrets that her sister is holding now that she's home. But her love for her family was strong, and watching her enter this contest for the prince's hand, I really enjoyed it!

That she has this connection with the other prince, the one that's not related to the Queen? Yeah, I really enjoyed getting to know his story, and about his world and the history, and just what they're dealing with. The story just kept getting better! 

Oh, but that ending? With all those reveals, and how that information came together? Yeah, I know it's a stand alone right now, but with the way things ended, I need a sequel, to know what's going to happen next, to deal with the new situation that they were in! 

Loved reading this book, and we better get a sequel!
