Summary: "Violet, a poor girl from the outer city, finds forbidden romance and uncovers brutal secrets when, after three years of training, she is purchased by a royal family as a surrogate mother for royal children." The Jewel is the first book in this series (not sure how many there will be) by Amy Ewing. The second book, The White Rose, came out on October 6, 2015. The Jewel ends with a ridiculous cliff-hanger, so definitely have both books to read at the same time!
I enjoyed the beginning of the book a lot; it's like a combination of The Hunger Games and The Selection, and Violet proves to be a powerful and worthy heroine. The love interest leaves something to be desired, however, as he doesn't feel natural or organic to the story told up to his appearance. However, I can't wait to get my hands on the next book!
