The Irish Prince was the perfect combination of sweet and sexy, with charming characters, a secret “baby” and two people who have denied their attraction for years. Author Virginia Nelson expertly rolls all of these elements together to give readers a fabulous romance.

Aiden Kelley is a self made man from humble Irish roots and enjoys everything his bachelor lifestyle affords him. His company keeps him busy and his assistant, Chelsea, keeps him on track and grounded and he’s never needed her more than when an ex-lover presents him with a 10 year old daughter he didn’t know existed.

Let me just put it out there Aiden was a bit of an a$$ and while I grew to like him, I never quite fell in love with him. I enjoyed watching his character grow and felt like he was trying to be a better person, a better man and most of all a good father. I kind of felt he took to fatherhood almost too easily given his lifestyle, but his parents were fantastic role models for him. What I did enjoy was the crazy, mixed up relationship between Aiden and Chelsea. Working together for years, they both were harboring fantasies and even feelings towards one another they kept under wraps because of their professional relationship, but when his daughter, Waverly, comes into his life she bonds instantly with Chelsea throwing them together outside of the office. Waverly was funny, sassy, and smart and I loved that she was pretty accepting of getting a dad at age 10, and while she seemed to blame him for his absence that fell squarely on the shoulders of her mother.

It was fun watching these two people go from an employee/employer relationship to lovers because they knew each other well as co-workers, but on a personal level not so much which led to some strange and interesting dialog and interactions.

I really enjoyed The Irish Prince and look forward to what Ms. Nelson has in store for us next in this series!

Being the first piece of work I have read by Virginia Nelson, I was not sure what to expect. As I've said before, I'm not a third person POV type of reader. However, in this book, it worked, the writing was fantastic.

I love that there is something new to catch your attention in each chapter. Not always major events, but enough to make you not want to put the book down. This is what happened to me. I started reading, and all of a sudden, I was done!

Nelson does a great job at giving us the right amount of details. Enough to keep you reading on, but not so many that the story becomes drawn out.

I am giving The Irish Prince by Virginia Nelson 5-stars. I figure when it's a one-sitter read, it has to deserve that! A perfect amount of twists to rile up Aiden and Chelsea. Romance and relationships are never easy, and Nelson wasn't making it easy for them, at all. I loved Waverley, I'm pretty sure she was my favorite character. As a parent, you always find yourself in your child, and she had a lot of Aiden in her. However, there was enough snark in her to make her seem like she could be part Chelsea too. The Irish Prince is a great romance, with minor conflict, some hot and heavy (but not extremely graphic) scenes, an all-around 5-star!

For Chelsea finding feminine lingerie scattered in her office is the last straw. She is giving her two weeks notice today and will not be talked out of it. For too many years she has been the best executive assistant she can be, and falling for her boss is very unprofessional.
Aiden has his world upended when Margo,his ex from ten years ago, shows up with a surprise. He has a daughter and she has kept her away from him all this time. Not an easy feat when she is as much in the public eye as he is.

In order to get to know his daughter Waverly, a trip to the Grand Canyon is agreed upon. Now he has to convince Chelsea to go with them.
Mind you it's not so much his words that convince Chelsea, it's his actions.

I laughed so hard at the antics on this trip. The assumptions Aiden makes are hysterical and the way they are handled... priceless.
Waverly is a joy to get to know and is snarky and adorable as she plots and plans.

We get to see Camden and Jeanie from 'The Penthouse Prince' in this one as well. I love the dynamic of this couple and the spin it puts on this book.

Plenty of heat and lots of laughs.

The Irish Prince had a lot of elements that I love in romance: and Alpha billionaire, a feisty heroine, a boss/office romance, and a single parent situation. Chelsea is Aiden's long-suffering assistant and we begin the book with her attempting to turn in her two week notice for the umpteenth time - this time it's because she found a woman's underclothes draped over the chair in her office (again!). Just as she submits her resignation, Aiden finds out that he has a ten year old daughter and he turns to Chelsea for help in bonding with the young girl via a cross country trip. Along the way we find out that Aiden has some anxiety issues that manifest as a need to control everything he can around him. It seems that Chelsea is the only person in his life that has identified the true root of his control issues and has devised numerous ways to make sure that he is comfortable without alienating him from those around him. Of course, there has always been an undercurrent of attraction between them and now that they are away from the office and her time working with him is coming to a close, they finally act on that attraction. And then, in typical alpha fashion, he gets scared of the intense emotions he suddenly realizes he has for her, pops off at the mouth, and breaks her heart.

I think my favorite part of the book was Aiden's daughter, Waverly. She was the sassiest, wittiest little ten year old ever! I did have a few issues with the storyline but nothing major - like Chelsea never really told Aiden why she was quitting, so we didn't find out the story behind the underwear she found in her office. And Waverly's mom was sort of flippant and dismissive in her explanation as to why she didn't let Aiden know that she was pregnant. Then there was the surprise proposal that really made no sense to me at all. But, I still found the book enjoyable and entertaining and finished it in one sitting. I give The Irish Prince 3 out 5 wine glasses.

Lets start off by saying the is a brand new author for us and
we loved our first read by them.

Chelsea was my favorite this time around as she was confident,had a backbone was witty,kind,smart,sexy and just so full off life.

Aiden well he was sexy,smart,controlling egotistical,vain at times and had a dominating personality who always needed to be in control.All those things yet Aiden loved with his whole heart once it was given both to his daughter and Chelsea.

Aiden has always secretly harbored feelings for Chelsea yet never acted on them.Chelsea has felt the same as Aiden and once the opportunity has risen they both act on those feelings. The
chemistry was hot and explosive!

The story was filled with love romance and a few surprises along the way and we loved it.The characters were engaging fun and easy to connect with.I love when you can connect with the characters that you read about and I was able to do that with these characters.I love when you know a couple is meant for one another yet you know when they start off so intense something is going to spoil it and put a wrench into a relationship.I loved seeing the party grovel that being Aiden .I loved what he was willing to do to get back into Chelsea's good graces.
Too Cute !

I have to say I fell in love with Aiden the minute he started taking dating advice from his 10 year old daughter.

A sweet romance with fun characters and once we started reading it could not put it down.What a fun read that made me laugh many times throughout the story.You rock Chelsea thanks for making me smile.

Recommended read to all!

The Irish Prince just didn't do it for me, unfortunately. It was kind of boring and slow paced and nothing really happened until about 60% into the story. Chelsea is Aiden's long suffering Executive Assistant and has decided, finally! to quit her job with the man who absolutely drives her crazy. But, right as she tells him, he gets a bomb dropped in his lap - a woman he had been with briefly years ago, stops by his office to let him know they have a 10 year old daughter together and that she wants money from him to secure their daughter, Waverley's, future. When Aiden is told by Waverley's mother that Waverley wants to be a geologist, and that if he takes her to see the Grand Canyon then she'll arrange for visitation rights, he knows it's a good idea to get to know the daughter he's just found out about. Waverley, having bonded with Chelsea over their love of rocks while Waverley was in Chelsea's office, decides she wants Chelsea to go with them on the trip and Chelsea goes along with it, knowing she'll be able to be around the man she has a crush on for just awhile right before her notice is up and she leaves.

Inevitably, Chelsea succumbs to Aiden's charms during the trip, and she falls all the harder for him, even though he's about as charming as a rock. Honestly, Waverley is the best part of The Irish Prince. She's an adorable, self possessed, mature little spitfire. Aiden is boring and treats Chelsea horribly, especially toward the end when they have a problem finding Waverley during their visit to the Grand Canyon. And his grand gesture? So didn't cut it at all. Not only did he not grovel, but he barely apologized. Chelsea had my respect up until that point, when she took him back with such a weak apology. There are other things that really bugged me about The Irish Prince, but I don't have the inclination to list them all here. I'll just leave it by saying that there's not much chemistry between Chelsea and Aiden, there's not much of a connection at all, and the book is pretty boring. If it weren't for Waverley, I probably would have given this even fewer than 3 stars.

Chelsea had tried four times in the last month to submit her letter of resignation but then her boss Aidan reminded Chelsea that she was under contract. The man drove her crazy, had been driving her crazy for years. Every time Chelsea quit Aidan somehow managed to get her to take back her resignation and had convinced her to stay. But Chelsea was determined to quit this time no matter what Aidan Kelly said or did. Aidan just found out he had a ten year old daughter - Waverly- by a model Margo he had been with for a short time. All Margo wanted was money but Aidan said he wanted to get to know his daughter and then have visitation Waverly wanted to be a geologist when she grew up and really wanted to go to the Grand Canyon and Margo suggested he take Waverly there to start off. Especially as he was a control freak. Chelsea knew men like Aidan only liked women like her brain and for the ability to problem solve and deal with tricky situations. Chelsea was attracted to Aidan and Aidan now wants Chelsea to go to the Grand Canyon with him and Waverly. Waverly also wants that also. But this only spells trouble for Chelsea. Also she had given her two week notice and needed to interview and train someone to take her place when she left. But when at the Grand Canyon. Aidan and Chelsea slept together and Aidan tells Chelsea he wants her while one night tour of the canyon and Waverly comes up missing for a brief time and Aidan blames Chelsea by distracting him.
This was an excellent read. But also a short read but lacking nothing and I loved it. I loved Waverly and she definitely added to this story. Also the stray cat. I loved how Chelsea knew how to make things ok for Aidan and had a serious crush on him for a long time and how Aidan realized just how much Chelsea really means to him. I loved the characters and the ins and outs and I highly recommend.

I had mix feeling while reading The Irish Prince. Overall I really enjoyed it but I needed a more emotional connection between the hero and heroine especially because they have a strong back story. Chelsea has worked as Aiden’s executive assistant for many years and has tried quitting more time than she can count. She has always been insanely attracted to him, while Aiden refrains from allowing himself to picture her as more than his right-hand woman. When Aiden’s world is thrown for a loop in the form a daughter he never knew existed the one person he can count on to get him though this curve ball is Chelsea. Aiden convinces Chelsea to join him on the father-daughter bonding road trip and in exchange he’ll finally allow her to quit. Chelsea figures that since she’s lived with her crush on the boss for years then she can make it through the road trip, the only problem is Aiden finally acts on the attraction he feels for her too. I loved Waverly because she positively adorable and funny to boot. The novel was okay so I’d give it 3.5 stars because I felt like I needed more out of both Aiden and Chelsea on an emotional level.

The Irish Prince is a sweet and slightly sexy romance read with beautifully charming characters that capture your attention from page 1 until the last page.
Aiden Kelley is a self-made man who is now a billionaire from humble Irish roots and a self-confirmed bachelor. Chelsea, is his assistant who keeps him grounded and looks out for him. Suddenly an ex-lover dies and leaves him her their daughter, advising him that he is the child’s father and leaves him custody of a daughter he didn’t know existed… suddenly he is a father.
Aiden went from this self-absorbed man to a man who started to actually show he cared about people., and show emotions. Chelsea at first was about to leave but she stayed and showed Aiden her love in many ways by always being there for him. He repaid her by being a total jerk and there was some ups and downs and then when something big happened, Aiden wasn’t there for Chelsea. Will she forgive him and let him back in or will she quit for good and move on?
There was many times that I felt Chelsea needed to move on and forget Aiden but he can be a good guy. I just think there were too many times he was a jerk. Overall, this was a good read and could have been awesome if Aiden wasn’t such a jerk.

My Rating: 4.0 stars *****

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

CEO Aiden Kelley has become bored with his playboy life but he wouldn't admit that to anyone. However he did not plan that the announcement he is a dad to a ten year old girl will be what shakes things up. Aiden wants to get to know his daughter and when he is told to take her to the Grand Canyon he decides he needs his assistant Chelsea Houston in tow.

Chelsea has quit her job more times than she can count but each time Aiden talks her into returning. Now he wants her to help with his daughter Waverly, she knows nothing about kids but deciding this would be a paid vacation she goes. A trip that is planned goes slightly awry and unaddressed feelings come in to play and Aiden is faced with admitting what he really wants.

This was a entertaining read had several humorous moments. Great characters and I thought Waverly was a hoot.

It's really hard not to love this couple and how they discovering each other in this story. The relationship that happens between Aiden and Chelsea is made more interesting and gripping is when Aiden's newly found daughter in put into the mix. I love Virginia Nelson's books and the stories she writes they just seamless especially when you reading them. You just forget all your other problems when there is a book in your hands and you just fall right into her stories. Definitely plan on curling up in a chair or couch and just enjoy all of her books as you just can't put them down. Would totally recommend this book and author to everyone.. Also left review on Amazon.uk.

The Irish Prince was a fun romantic tale; not your usual billionaire love story.

Chelsea is determined to quit this time, she's not going to allow her boss, no matter how charming, to convince her otherwise. And then something unexpected happens, which pulls her further into her job, doing more than she should, but also bringing her to Aiden's attention in a different way.

Aiden couldn't be more suprised that he has a child, a ten year old daughter he knew nothing about, but he must get to know her. Taking her on a road trip while getting to know her is the best he can offer at the moment, but he's going to need help. So he volunteers his assistant, Chelsea, for the task; agreeing she can quit when they return. But bonding with his secret child isn't the last unexpected thing to occur on this road trip.

The banter between Chelsea and Aiden lends truth to their connection, though they might not know it, they truly know each other very well. There's a chemistry between them as something more than co-workers from the start, it just takes them a little while to give in to that chemistry. But when they do - HOT!

I loved the plotline of this book, it was different, and really fun. Chelsea and Aiden's relationship - both in working terms and personal, was realistic and sweet. The addition of Waverly and how she sort of brings the two of them together, as in the trip with her is a catalyst of sorts, added something extra. To say fatherhood takes Aiden out of his typical "control freak" tendencies is a bit of a understatement. It was fun to see him give in to a little spontaneity for his daughter and at Chelsea's request.

This was my first book by Virginia Nelson and I really enjoyed her writing style. Her characters were funny and had me falling for them from the start. I can't wait to see what she has to offer in other books.

I received this ARC copy of this book from NetGallery for an honest review. I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Aiden and Chelsea was well written and starts with Aiden not noticing Chelsea and Chelsea having a crush on Aiden. Chelsea is unhappy with the work conditions and puts is her resignation. On the same day Aiden learns he is a father of a ten year old. Aiden, Chelsea and Waverley go on a road trip to the Grand Canyon. This was a great read.
