Emery
Six-two, sinfully gorgeous, with noble lineage, and a cliffside castle. What's not to like?
Exactly the problem, until I convince myself the cold, unreadable man my father insists I marry is gay.
That’s why I agree to the business merger. I swore I’d never marry for love. I’ve seen how it ruins women in arranged marriages. My mother included.
Lachlan might look like a sexy villain ripped from a romance novel, but I’m safe from falling for him. He’s not even into me. I can open my dream bookstore, live on my terms, and play wife only when necessary.
Until our wedding day when he kisses me like he owns me—stealing my breath and my sanity. Now the chemistry between us is undeniable, but I refuse to fall for his seductive, controlling ways.
Lachlan
Emery has no idea what I’m really after.
Two goals brought me to the altar. Both personal. Both inevitable.
Take her father’s company to end a centuries-old feud.
Claim the golden princess with the tempting mouth and defiant pride.
She thinks she can keep her distance. She has no idea what she signed up for, or how far I’ll go to claim what's mine.
My Review:
For Emery Spencer, having grown up among the wealthy and powerful has certain expectations that she must follow. After all, the Spencer name carries a lot of weight in Connecticut. Her dad’s Fortune 500 company, Spencer Security is on the line as he will only pass it down to the family. Meaning that setting up his daughters with arrange marriages is all to keep their fortune in the family. Emery has always known about her impending future, but when she finds out that she is going to marry Lachlan Ashford, a part of her is confused. No matter how good looking he is, he doesn’t seem interested in her at all. Yet, that could be a benefit of their arrangement that Emery won’t pass. As long as Lachlan keeps his part of the deal their marriage might actually work. Little does she know that he has plans of his own and that includes claiming her as his for good.
I throughly enjoyed reading Princess of Pride, the instant chemistry between the characters was electric. There is no denying that Emery is attracted to Lachlan, he is compared to a young James Fraser from Outlander, which is by far one of my personal favorite tv shows. Between the swoon worthy moments to their banter, we also get family drama that takes things to a whole new level. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this book. I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future! :)

My Rating:
Meet Tara Gallina
fantasy. While most of her books are steamy, she's also penned a few sweeter titles.
Her stories blend angst, tormented heroes, a hint of humor, and the occasional tear. Many of her stories come alive through settings inspired by her travels.
When she's not writing, she loves to visit gardens, New England in the fall, European castles, and
Caribbean beaches. She has a fairy garden, a Lady Lair for writing, favors the color pink, and only drinks wine that tastes like melted sugar.

She lives in the Sunshine State with her husband, though her two sons have since left for college. Her
writing journey began in 2015 when she signed with a literary agent for a young adult retelling. Since
then, she's moved on to publishing steamy romances and hasn't looked back.
