Oh, Passenger Princess, how I loved thee! Let me count the ways! Grumpy/Sunshine - ✅ Forced proximity road trip - ✅ Bodyguard - ✅ Big Guy/Tiny Woman Size Difference - ✅ Possessive alpha - ✅ Smutty smut, but make it meta because the MCs are reading it on a road trip - ✅ and ✅ 

Seriously, I loved Passenger Princess. I thought the writing flowed really well. I liked the little hit of suspense and mystery; it was enough to keep the plot moving, but not enough to give me anxiety, so a win. I adored Jaime ❤️ He was so perfectly attentive, and growly, and possessive, and just pretty perfect. Ava is one of the best FMCs I’ve read. She’s so fun and unapologetically herself. The side characters are a hoot, and I’m hoping for their books soon! 

Some things that I didn’t love: One small inconsistency that bugged me - at the beginning of the book, we are told that this was Anne’s last year of eligibility for the pageant, but we are later told that she wanted to be the youngest guest pageant winner, then win again in a few years. It’s not huge, but it stood out to me. There were also a couple of times when it was clearly distinguished who was talking. Quotes were jumbled up in paragraphs with inner monologue and it wasn’t easily differentiated. 

Overall, I really thought this was an excellent book. I definitely recommend it! 

I received an ARC of Passenger Princess and I am leaving my review voluntarily.
