Cold Flame

A Royal States Novel

By: Susan Copperfield

Narrated by: Keira Grace

Leaving behind her royal life should have solved most problems for Rachel of New York. While wandering the Royal States buys her peace for a while, her sister’s suicide drags her back into the cutthroat world she’d left behind. The RPS hunting her down to deal with her sister’s body is bad enough, but one nameless bachelor at a wedding in Illinois changes everything.

Again.

With the help of a sole RPS agent, Rachel attempts to build a new life for herself in the west. With her mental health crumbling under the pressure of remaining in hiding and dodging a crown she doesn’t want, she’s running out of time. If she doesn’t choose her future, someone will choose it for her.

She never anticipated how far Ethan of California would go to win her—or that behind the fiery beast lurking within her is a talent that will forever change the world.

Incredible story and narrative

Rachel is addressed in depth and her character is quirky but she also seems to use humor to hide low self esteem from familial abuse which is sad. Her PRS agent Terry, is pivotal in helping her grow and supporting her as needed. Ethan is less deeply developed but is totally lovable and is also pivotal to her developmental growth.
The rest of the CA and NY royals are secondary characters Other than Ian all the NY royals are addressed negatively. The opposite of the CA royals.
Thoroughly enjoyed the story!!

Great story!

I loved Rachel’s determination and how the author captured how when someone is raised a certain way their world view is skewed. Another great book. I can’t wait to see another book for this series!
