“I'd give up my whole kingdom to be with you. I want to be your Prince
Charming.”
Aria has a big heart but bigger problems. Her whole life is a mess thanks
to her controlling stepmother. But when she's knocked over- literally- by the
hottest man she's ever had the pleasure of tangling up her body with,
everything changes.
Henry Prescott, second-string rugby player for the Paradisa Royals, is
funny, sweet, charming, and oh-so-sexy. He's got a rock hard body and tackles
her in bed as fiercely as he tackled her in the park. Knowing nothing about
rugby, but absolutely intoxicated by his accent, she finds herself falling for
him.
There's only one problem: Henry Prescott doesn't exist.
The man she thinks she loves is actually Prince Henry, second in line for
the throne of the nation of Paradisa. He's the man who Aria's entire department
has to impress for trade relations. And that makes Aria's stepmother's plans
even more dangerous.
He's the man who could destroy her world or make all her dreams come
true.
He lied about being a prince... did he also lie about being in love?
NYT Bestseller Krista Lakes brings you this brand new sweet-and-sexy
royal romance. This standalone novel will have you cheering for an American
princess's happily ever after.

Review: Who isn't in the mood for a royal wedding right now? OK, maybe not me cos truthfully I'm too jealous of Meghan Markle to get excited about the wedding,but still, the whole idea of an American becoming of princess. Its a total Squee moment.
This book is very much the same. It is a modern take on the Cinderella story. Aria is our Cinderella. Audrey is her wicked step mother and by wicked stepmother, I mean a nasty, rotten, evil piece of work. Then there's Henry, the prince in a rugby players clothing.
Henry Henry Henry, how do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love that he was totally solicitous of Aria at all times. I love that he didn't experience some of the things that mere mortals are used to having like grilled cheese.
Henry Henry Henry, how do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love that he was totally solicitous of Aria at all times. I love that he didn't experience some of the things that mere mortals are used to having like grilled cheese.
This book is part fairy tale part wonderful romance, the kind that most girls and heck, some of us older ladies still dream of having. Surely there's a prince of some unknown country that will fall for me? Right? Where is he? Why can't he find me right now?
It even comes with a ball and a runaway girl. The only thing that didn't happen was the dress turning to rags or a limo turning into a pumpkin. No bibity bobity boos either, but this isn't Disney.
I loved Aria's innocence, though that innocence isn't what you'd expect from a family that was in politics. That's about the only thing about the book that was too much of a fairy tale for me. Anyone that had been in DC for any amount of time couldn't have the innocence she had.
So I just kept my focus on loving Henry, a guy that knocked her off her feet and fell in love with her. Oh and the chemistry between the two is spot on and the heat is off the charts!
