Description

Nik Gustafsson has a secret: He’s not really Nik Gustafsson.

He’s not a spy. He’s not crazy.

He’s just the son and heir to one of the most important families in Europe—one where duty always comes first. And his posh, too-public life is suffocating him. So when he gets the chance to attend boarding school in America, pretending to be an average exchange student is too big of a temptation to pass up.

Then he literally runs into Amber on campus. And she hates him at first sight.

It’s kind of exhilarating to be hated for who he is, not for his family name or his wealth. Maybe if he turns up the charm and turns down the aloof mask he habitually wears, he can win her over. Even though a bad past experience has made her swear off dating this year.

But the more he gets to know her, the more uncomfortable he is keeping things from her. Because Nik Gustafsson has a secret. And it’s a big one.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains a hot boy who's the strong and silent type, a studious girl who refuses to believe in fairy-tale romance, and one epic secret that could be disastrous if it comes to light.

Nik and Amber are adorable! What a fun, cute romantic read! Nik is royalty who is trying to find himself a chance at anonymity while studying in the US his junior year in high school. When he meets Amber, he is attracted to her but she is put off by his old world charm and their friendship is off to a rocky start. The story is sweet and romantic and one of the reasons that I recommend these books to my students is the appropriate amount of romance. The lack of ridiculous sexual content is perfect for a younger student to read and as a mom I would let my daughter read this book! Cute and fun!

This was a feel good read for me!
I finished it in one sitting, I spent around 4 to 5hrs. 😂
I enjoyed and can't stop smiling on the first 65%-ish part of the story because the chemistry of the two is so cute! Most of all because of Nik and his sincereness about wanting to blend in and be normal, it is so cute! 😍 Maybe because I can relate to some of his questions about America when he first settled in (e.g. why do American people only use fork when eating? 😂 but I'm get used to it now so)
Another thing that I liked was that the author showed us Nik's and Amber's point of view, which for me, makes the story a good one.

Although, the relationship part was kinda quick for me but hey man, it plays a big part on the story so no hatin' there just a lil' bit shook hahahahahaha~

Overall I would recommend this. ✌
If you want to read a fast paced and a light hearted book, you should definitely give this one a go.

I'll post a this review on my blog before the released date. 💕

This was a super cute and super adorable quick read about a fantasy I’m sure many girls/women have had all their lives, after all who doesn’t want a prince charming? Sara Hantz did a wonderful job transporting us to this private school where it seems even royalty attends.

We meet Nik who is under cover trying to be a regular guy. Its hard being second in line for the throne, even if it’s not something he really wants there is still too much attention on him. Normalcy is a rarity in his life and he’s just seeking a little bit with a year away in America. Of course he wasn’t planning on meeting someone, let alone someone as special and as strong willed as Amber. The two of them are like ying and yang until you put them together and they fit just right.

Amber also has had a tough life, although not because of media and duties, there are things she has overcome in her past and has always had a hard time trusting people because of those actions. Trust is a major part of any relationship, break that just a little and sometimes it’s just too hard to gain back. Even though she adamantly doesn’t want a relationship this school year only wanting to focus on her photography and application, she couldn’t help but feel that attraction with Nik. Again two peas in a pod these two.

There was a very sweet innocence to the entire book that you don’t see very often. Oh to be that young and naïve, what a treasure these young people have today that they take for granted. Overall the book was a great quick read. The characters were just adorable and even though there wasn’t too much depth to the book it still kept you rooting for the couple to get together in the end. The setting was very typical of a boarding school, not that I’ve experienced one in the past but it’s definitely what I can imagine it to be. New Hampshire as a whole is also just a beautiful state and very remote in some places so perfect place to set this book in. Loved it!
