Guila Costa, known as Lia is suddenly thrust into the Australian media spotlight when her brother, Charlie becomes heir to the throne of Hellenia and is to marry Princess Jazmine. Now the king is trying to order her to marry Max the Grand Duke of Falcandias, and become the Princess Royal. Confused, but trying to do what is asked of her she mourns for the love of her life, while wondering how she can wind the clock back.
Toby Winder has loved Lia since childhood and had also, become part of her family when his parent’s marriage broke up. Now he’s hounded by the media even at his place of work, the fire-station. He’s unable to answer their questions, because his friends haven’t contacted him since he’d returned home. Then suddenly he’s whisked away by security along with a dog called Puck, because he was always in trouble, under the kings orders.
A delightful tale, of a love which most people long to find but sadly, very seldom ever do. The characters are well written and interesting, with a great mix of humor and tension as life gets dangerous in Hellenia, as another man tries to take over the country. The king also finds he can’t always get his own way, also that he’s not always right when he finds his country is struggling.
With major power struggles going on in the small kingdom, the characters are drawn into danger, making the story into a suspense filled read. I found the book fascinating enough to keep reading, even when I was meant to be sleeping. The characterization of Toby, makes a wonderful hero most women will love, as he puts his heart on the line in pursuit of happiness. The setting is as it should be, from ornate palaces to village houses, I never felt lost and enjoyed it all.
THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THIS BOOK. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE UNBIASED REVIEW.
