Review: The Crown Prince's Bride

For this review, I chose The Crown Prince's Bride by Donna Alward.

I requested ARC copy of the ebook through Netgalley in exchanged for a honest review.

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

A Crown Prince gets a second chance at love with the woman who’s always been there - in the next book in the prince duology from Donna Alward!

The Crown Prince of Marazur is suffering from a broken heart. After losing his wife and future queen, he knows he’ll never find love again with a partner as wonderful as her. He’s thrown himself into his duties and is trying to be a better father to his two children, but he’s lonely. Even though falling in love seems impossible, so does spending the rest of his life alone.

Stephani has been Raoul’s assistant for years. Smart, loyal, and discreet, Stephani is fantastic at her job. Except for the fact that she’s been in love with her boss since her first week of employment, not that she would ever act on it. Besides, Raoul is first in line to the throne and she’s his assistant. If Raoul ever marries again, it’ll be with someone who can be a future queen. Not someone like Stephani.

When Raoul’s date for a state dinner is unable to attend, he invites Stephani. She’s well-versed on the issues and castle protocol, and Raoul’s always been comfortable with her. But when Stephani arrives, Raoul hardly recognizes her. Is this stunning woman the same one who’s run his office for years?

The Crown Prince’s Bride is the ultimate fairy tale for readers looking for Cinderella to get her prince—and be able to keep him past midnight. 

This is Book #2 Royal Duology series.  I have read Book #1, The Playboy Prince and the Nanny.  I love this book.  This was a sweet romantic story about a prince, who has been through so much in his life.  Raoul lost his wife and has 2 small children to raise.  Stephani has been Raoul's assistant for years.  She is the cousin of Raoul's late wife.  She is family.  Stephani has been crushing on him for years, but never said anything. 

This book had me glued to the pages (of my kindle app).  I love how there were some twists towards the end of the book.  That was my favorite part of the book!  I do not want to say anymore.

☆☆☆☆☆
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Would I recommend this book? Yes! Author? Yes!

Would I read more from this author? Yes!

Happy Reading!
