Audio lovers: 5 🌟. Narration was spot. Freaking on!! Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York are the narrators and were amazing. I received a copy of this audiobook via the author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review. This ending for Hallie was everything. Her standing on her own two feet without her family .telling each and every one of them the ugly truth was courageous. I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance. Throw in the forbidden aspect of bodyguard and his ward and I am double sold! So going into this book I knew I would like it but I was surprised by all the different ways I loved it. So let's break those down. I loved this audiobook. I found myself emotionally invested and absorbed from the beginning through to the end.

This just might be my new favorite book of 2023. I absolutely devoured THORNE PRINCESS by LJ Shen. The writing, the characters, the wit, the romance. So freaking good. I LOVE a great bodyguard romance and this story delivers! Just read it!!" - -- #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely Yor had many traits that carry over to her current design. She is described as "The Strongest Assassin," "stronger than the protagonist [Loid]," "deceived by the protagonist into playing the mother role with a daughter [Anya]," "ditzy, dumb, naive," and having "no feelings about anything." Other elements while developing her character were that Yor "sees herself as having no value to society outside of killing," and "falls in love with the protagonist and attempts to covertly kill the daughter who stands between them."

This may be her date of employment, as neither the calendar year has been revealed nor has her birthday been disclosed.Whilst being a deadly assassin is Yor’s main focus, she is anxious about keeping up appearances and social image. For the most part, this is driven by her love for her younger brother Yuri, who is busy working his way towards a big government promotion. Spy x Family is looking to become one of the greatest anime series of all time, and a good part of what makes both the manga and the anime so good is the fact that it has unique characters. Yor Forger is one of the three central characters of Spy x Family and is secretly an assassin called Thorn Princess working for Ostania. But why is Yor Forger called Thorn Princess in Spy x Family? Everyone can find a little bit of themselves in Brat aka Hallie our twenty-one year old heroine, I didn't think I would connect with her like I did, but I loved her character, she was funny, misunderstood and always in the limelight for all the wrong reasons, being the daughter of an ex-president she's a high profiler, so the paparazzi are always hot on her tail . After one too many misdemeanors her father hires a private bodyguard aka close protection officer to not so much protect her persee but to babysit her.
