    I just finished reading the first book; it was quite good, fitting the slow-burn, enduring romance genre, and the male and female leads had distinct personalities. I liked the second book from the very beginning; the female lead isn't scheming and is very intelligent, and the male lead is a prince. It's just that it's not finished yet, so I'll wait until it is before continuing. These two are the best historical romance novels I've read in the past month.

Later, she was reunited with her family, only to find that the prince she liked was her mortal enemy, her biological father. There's a bit of angst involved. The female lead suffers, but everyone around her treats her well. She's a gentle yet strong character with some female rivalry, and she's the type that both men and women would like.
