Synopsis
When he kissed me, I was shocked. He was a stranger and still so familiar. It wasn’t until I woke up to my picture splashed on the cover of tabloids that I realized I knew who he was.
Prince Alexander of Cambridge. Royal bad boy.
Exiled heir to the throne.
He isn’t Prince Charming. He’s controlling. He’s demanding. He’s dangerous. And I can’t say no to him.
We both have secrets—secrets that could tear us apart or drive us closer together—and as the paparazzi exposes each one, I have to decide just how far I’m willing to go for King and Coun- try.

Review
Command…Control…Take…Free
This is what Prince Alexander offers Clara Bishop when a chance encounter turns into a steamy love affair that pulls both of them towards one another – towards a relationship that neither understands nor can do anything to prevent from occurring. Alexander wants to show career oriented Clara the pleasures of being commanded and taken, but Clara has to decide if she can willingly give him control because it’s something that allows her life to stay focused and healthy, grounding her in a way that her past dictates must occur.
But once Clara experiences the X Effect, she finds herself consumed with the dirty mouthed prince; her insatiable lust for him never fading, which is both exhilarating and threatening because right from the start, Alexander has told Clara that either he or his life will destroy her, and it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy because nothing good can come from the secrets being kept from both parties.
I absolutely devoured Command Me and immediately dove into Conquer Me. Clara and Alexander are fantastic characters who bring light to each other’s darkened lives. They need one another, but the fall out of their connection because of Alexander’s duty to his family may be too much for Clara to handle, and I can’t blame her reactions or her pause to continue this love affair because it could end up doing more harm than good not only to her psyche and her body but also to her heart.
Prince Alexander is a bit of an enigma; he understands his place in terms of the crown and he does what needs to be done for both his family and his country, neglecting himself in the process. His past is shrouded in pain and that darkness taunts him on a regular basis only freeing him when he uses someone else’s body to do his bidding. Alexander is relentless when it comes to what he wants, and Clara is it, and although he knows the risks involved by pursuing her as he does, he just can’t seem to help himself because the lightness she brings into his life is something he can’t willingly give up even if it’s what is best for all involved.
Clara needs to be freed from her own self-doubt and lonely existence; she just doesn’t truly understand that fact until she gives her body over to Alexander. As much as Clara tries to not succumb to his charms and keep it strictly physical, he calls to her in a way that no one else does. He knocks down her walls; he frees her from herself, which is not something she’s used to someone doing for her because she has always been fiercely independent. But as caught up as she is in Alexander’s body and the passion that exists between them, she still tries to remain clear headed with the situation because Alexander’s position as future ruler is not something that will go away and her place in that lifestyle is not something she sees happening.
Command Me is an amazing first book in Geneva Lee’s Royal Saga series; it’s intriguing, sensual, dirty, and downright scandalous at times, making it a must read. The characters are dynamic and the storyline is captivating right from the start. It commanded my attention from page one and now I’m ready to be conquered by the next book;)

Review
In book one of Geneva Lee’s Royals Saga, Prince Alexander commanded Clara Bishop’s body and then her heart, dictating what she gave him and when, and while that worked for Clara through much of the book, at the end, Clara exerted her independence and walked away from the man who freed her in so many ways because she couldn’t be a kept secret, and she couldn’t get past all of the secrets he was keeping from her, even if some of them were for her own good.
As Conquer Me begins, Clara is dealing with the aftermath of losing the love of her life, existing as best she can. By exerting her self worth, Clara crushed her heart, but she knows there are limits to what she is willing to endure for love, and without actions on Alexander’s part, his promises mean nothing to her. But what she doesn’t know as she tries to traverse her lonely existence and not go back to old habits is that Alexander misses and craves her just as much as she does him and when that information comes to light, Clara will have to decide if she can willingly give her body and soul to Alexander again and face the letdown that may occur again due to Alexander’s obligation to his country, his duties to his family, and the many people who refuse to acknowledge her position next to him.
The idea of being conquered is a multi-layered concept for both Clara and Alexander, and its applicability reaches further than just their relationship. Clara must overcome her self doubt, her inability to control every situation, her need to know all of Alexander’s secrets, and her anxiety of what being a part of Alexander’s “real” world means for her and her life. Alexander must surmount the obstacles in his path due to his royal obligations and his father’s manipulation as well as prevail against Clara’s frees and insecurities. It’s a tangled web that Alexander must commandeer around but at the end of it if it means having the one woman who helps to conquer his demons and satisfy his body as well as his soul then it’s worth all of the torment and disruptions that overwhelm him.
Conquer Me is a great follow up to Command Me and delves deeper into the sensual relationship that exists between Alexander and Clara. The chemistry between them is still at the forefront of the text and the way Alexander commands Clara’s body proves exactly how sexually compatible they are. Getting snippets of Alexander’s point of view also adds to the dynamics of the text, offering necessary insight into his true feelings and what he’s willing to do to claim the woman who owns him even more than she truly understands. There is a lot of outside pressure closing in on Clara and Alexander that threatens to put another divide between them, forcing Alexander to seduce Clara’s body to get what he wants, and while that is how he’s used to getting his way, there’s more to their relationship now, and I would have liked it examined a bit more by them opening up to each other, giving in to more than just their sexual impulses. I’m sure, though, that that will come with time and truths revealed, which I will be anxiously waiting for in Crown Me.
