🔖 REVIEW BLITZ 🔖 Revelation by Cleo White

Release Date: April 25, 2026

Series: Royally Forbidden #2

Pages: 416

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Once upon a time, there was a princess locked in a tower, guarded by an obnoxiously attractive dragon with a superiority complex.

Her crime, you may ask?

A single, topless, crowd-surfing incident. Which was photographed, published by multiple news outlets, and “jeopardized” her father’s high profile election campaign.

Faced with the threat of being cut off—and forced to rely on her non-existent life skills—the princess had little choice but to accept her punishment: house arrest at the family estate for the duration of the campaign.

A campaign which will last eight. Freaking. Months.

As if all this wasn’t terrible enough, the princess’s only company—the dragon—was even more unpleasant than the punishment itself. He hated her at first sight; most likely for the crime of being pretty, and rich, and way better than him at literally everything.

Mean, condescending, and a total turd, the dragon seemed to want nothing more than to assert his authority over the princess. She believed—quite rightly—that being insanely hot doesn’t give you the right to treat people that way.

It wasn’t long before the princess decided her only recourse… was war.

My Review:

It only takes a scandalous set of topless pictures to change the course of Blair Porter’s life forever. Having being born in a world of wealth and privilege, she has always known what her place in the family is. After all, Blair’s dad happens to belong to a very special circle of people in the aristocracy. Lord Albert Porter isn’t just anyone, he holds a lot of influence in Stellan and hopes to leverage that in order to become the country’s next prime minister. But Blair’s recent indiscretion could up costing her dad the election.

A call to the family’s ancestral home of Thornhurst, ends up deceiving her into staying there for the next eight months until the election is over or risk losing her trust fund. With no other choice, Blair gives in only to find out that her dad has hired a someone to guard her while in the estate. A very good looking and infuriating guard who seems to hate her right away. There are a lot of things that the press gets wrong about Blair and she vows to make Damien see that she is different. Yet, no one warm her that by spending a lot of time with Damien, that her heart would be on the line.

I really enjoyed reading Revelation, this enemies-to-lovers romance had me hooked from the very beginning. Just when her dad thought that it would be a good idea for Blair to be out of the spotlight, another type of trouble ends up finding her at her family’s estate. Only, meeting Damien for the first time leaves her with the impression that he doesn’t like her. He is strict, demanding and ready to put her in her place. The problem is that there is something about Damien that keeps drawing Blair closer. Though no matter how much he tells her about himself, she can sense that he is not telling her everything. Something that she needs to figure out before it’s too late. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this book! The first book in the series became of my favorites and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! :)

My Review:

What was supposed to be a short arrangement turned into so much more in Phillips’s latest release, Falling for Real. As the second book in the Dare to Fall Series, this romance will leave you wanting for more!

While attending her cousin’s wedding in Key West, Kaylee Martin is hoping that the lack of date can go unnoticed with the rest of her family. Having broken up with her boyfriend not that long ago, she is not ready to face him again. Yet, Mark is part of the wedding party and has brought along his newest girlfriend. So, when her longtime crush, Tristan Hayes pretends to be her date for the wedding. Kaylee goes along with it, not realizing that her heart was about to be put to the test.

When the resort runs out of rooms, Tristan offers to give his room to a couple that was celebrating their anniversary. Leaving him without a room for the wedding weekend, until Kaylee offers to share her room with him. Neither of them bought a date and seeing how her ex treated her was enough for Tristan to offer to be her pretend boyfriend. But the more they got to know each other, the more it became clear that she is it for him, Tristan just has to convince Kaylee to give them a shot before it’s too late.

Overall, I throughly enjoyed reading Falling for Real. This novella might be short, but it packs a punch when it comes to the romance between the characters. They might look like complete opposites, but it’s clear from the very beginning just how similar they both are. While some might think that Tristan is a bit of a playboy, he wants something real and serious. He doesn’t want to waste time dating someone longterm if the chemistry is not there. On the other hand, Kaylee has been hurt in the past and that hasn’t stopped her from wanting something real. It’s the wedding and those around them that ultimately brings them together and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! I would highly recommend checking out Falling for Real, you will not regret it! :)

My Review:

Madison delivers a second chance and new beginnings romance in Only For Him. As the third book in the Only For Series, this hockey romance will leave wanting for more!

As a seasoned pro, Knox Tylor has been playing hockey for the past twelve years. Having moved from Montreal to LA took some getting used to for him and his family. Knox was just a newlywed then, ready to start a new life with his family. Little did he know that years later, his life was going to change forever. Walking in on his wife cheating on him with his brother-in-law was not in the cards. Yet, the minute he saw, he made the decision to not have anything to do with the person he thought he loved. But learning to co-parent becomes stressful when the mother of his kids wants him back. It would take an unexpected encounter with his team’s younger sister to make him feel like himself again. Kylie is everything his ex isn’t, for one she hates him at the beginning, but the attraction between them is undeniable. It’s clear from the start that Kylie has been through so much and Knox vows to make her see that they might just meant for one another.

I throughly enjoyed reading Only For Him, the characters were relatable and magnetic. They might not like each other at first, but they are unable to be away from one another. Knox becomes overprotective when it comes to Kylie. Having moved from Arizona to LA, Kylie is still adjusting to her new life and trying to make friends. She is starting over in a new city and with that comes questions about her dating life. Something that she has no interesting in being in a relationship at all. Not after learning her whole life that there is a cost for being loved. Meeting Knox completely changes that and Kylie will have to make the decision to put her heart on the line or risk losing him. All in all, the story was a solid read and the ending was sweet. I would highly recommend checking it out! :)
