Title:  The Prince's Bride part 2 Author:  J.J McAvoy  Publication Date:  November 27, 2020 Rating: ★★★★★ Amazon  |  Goodreads I am so in love with this book and these characters. This second book was somehow better than the first? which is baffling because I adored the first book. I loved reading Odette and Gale's journey and how they overcame many obstacles put in their place because of the love they shared for each other. Gale is the biggest romantic out there, with his cheesy one liners that made me smile so big. I was literally smiling the whole way through this book because this book made me happy. Odette was the most amazing heroine and one that I love so damn much. She's so strong and resilient in the most toughest and most hardest of situations. Odette and Gale's journey was pure and absolute perfection and I cant wait to read more of them in the third book. My Thoughts...  I am so in love with this book and these characters. This second book ...
