MEET YOUR NEXT ROYAL: PRINCE ALEXANDER OF CAMBRIDGE from Command Me by Geneva Lee

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;)
