  • This is the first series that lets the player customize one of their love interests.

  • This is the first book that was released on a Friday instead of a Wednesday. However, Chapter 1 was released early on a Thursday.[8]

  • Chapter 7 shares the same title as Big Sky Country, Book 1, Chapter 13, "Fire and Ice".
  • In Chapter 12, if you win Apple Queen, you will make a reference to Oprah Winfrey by saying "Did I mention apples for everyone? You get an apple, and you get an apple, everybody gets an apple!"
  • With 19 chapters, this used to be the second longest book in the game, along with Rules of Engagement, Book 1 and The Royal Romance, Book 2.

This record was broken by The Royal Romance, Book 3, and Across the Void with 22 chapters respectively, and later by My Two First Loves and Witness: A Bodyguard Romance.

If you do so, Your Character mentions having heard that the Cordonian royalty is going through more than its fair share of drama; therefore, they'll likely not even notice anything.
  • Chapter 17 shares the same title as Guinevere, Chapter 12, “Lady in Waiting”.
  • Chapter 13 contains a bug in which the names of the brown horse and the gray horse got mixed up, meaning that the brown horse is referred to as gray horse and vice versa.
