There were things I liked and disliked about this read. First, the romance between Luc and Hannah was steamy and hot, which is always a plus in my book. I liked how Luc was protective of Hannah and was willing to give up much for their love. What I didn't like was how this felt like something I've seen before. This read felt like a mix between modern history (it felt like the author just changed the names of the real monarchy in Monaco to different names in the book) and a Nicholas Sparks book. Some story lines I can read over and over because they appeal to me, but I've never been a Nicholas Sparks fan so I didn't love this read. If you do like Nicholas Sparks though, then I recommend this for you.
This quick read is a very good first entry into the HRH series. I found the main characters highly likable and enjoyed the secondary characters. There wasn't "waste" in the story, and everything seemed well plotted to move the story forward. If I have any negatives, it would only be that this couple can't seem to catch a break... Between family, duty, and an assortment of other obstacles, you wonder if they'll find their HEA.
I'm already waiting for the second entry in the series and have given lots of thought to the characters that will be featured next.
This was a great story with a likeable Prince and a fun "Cinderella" girl. The relationship gets off to a very quick start but the two characters really worked well with each other. I thought it was interesting that the author set this royal family in real life Monaco...and the fictional royal Greiner family looks all too like the real Grimaldi royal family of Monaco...The resolution to the health scare that the heroine goes through seemed a bit forced but other than that I thought this was great read.
I was given a ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest reveiw.
This book was a little slow to grab me. I almost put it down and didn't finish. But I finally got into it and really enjoyed the Las Vegas setting having lived there for 20 years. I liked Luc from the beginning and really fell for him. But there was something about Hannah I just couldn't relate to. She finally grew on me and I enjoyed the second half of the book much more than the first. I'm guessing the next book will be Bastien finding love? I will keep an eye out for it.
This is the first in a new series by this author and I enjoyed her True series so I know her writing style but unlike that series I had a bit more trouble connecting with these characters. This story is told via Luc’s perspective throughout and I enjoyed his take on things. Hannah and Luc have a whirlwind romance and then get a few wrench’s thrown in but the angst level is relatively low and has some scorching moments between the two.
This was a complimentary advanced reader copy gifted in exchange for a honest review via the author/ publisher through Netgalley.
Cute, kind of Cinderella style story, I would have liked to have read more about Hannah's situation but that kind of happened and was abruptly resolved, the lead up got a bit monotonous. It was an ok read but not something I would reread.
