I love that I’m able to escape reality to a bit. This was a fun new take on the Royals. ~ Paige, Guilty Pleasures
Turning thirty-five doesn’t mean much to most men. For Sebastian Wakefield, it’s the end of life as he knows it.
When your father is the King of England, thirty-five is the year that a marriage will be arranged, a suitable bride cementing a future you didn’t choose. The obvious solution for escaping the archaic laws of the throne is for Sebastian to leave the country. And where better to go than America?
Nina Wolfe has spent her career avoiding scandal. As a Hollywood publicist and minor celebrity in her own right, she knows exactly what it takes to keep the media at bay—and what will send them into a frenzy.
Prince Sebastian hiding out in Cunningham Falls, Montana is an unlikely story. Ending up in his bed, even more so. And keeping their arrangement out of the press might just be impossible. The ring on her finger is about to spark a firestorm that will change her life, and no professional spin will help Nina fit into the world of royalty.
Only love could write an enchanting new beginning—if they’ll let themselves fall.
Like the author, Kristen Proby, I love watching or reading anything about the Royal family. While she uses England as a backdrop and a Royal family in this story, her interpretation is unique and kept me reading about Nina and Sebastian. The author wastes no time bringing these two together.
Nina has been around celebrity royalty forever, her brother is a huge star and she’s in charge of his PR. While her friends and her brother have found love she’s vowed it will never happen to her. Besides her brother, she hasn’t been able to lean on anyway. Family and friends have always disappointed her. That is until Sebastian walks into her life.
Sebastian is tired of all the pomp and circumstance of being Royal. He desperately wants to settle down. He thinks he can find happiness without love. His solution is to find someone already in the business. Who better to ask than Nina.
The pair decide to marry but they vow not to get their feelings involved. This was short lived as Sebastian was half in love her before they wed. I liked the different liberties the author took with the nuisances of the Royals and their customs. While I thought it was a sweet book, I did need a tissue or two, I wish the couple would have been friends before they got married. The ending was perfect and I’ll be waiting for other books in this series.
