The Christmas season isn’t looking great for April Gareaux. Her job is uninspiring, her engagement is off, and she has nowhere to live. Certainly her family would take her in, especially Leslie and Grady Roberts and their circle of friends who have become her extended family. But it’s time she stops relying on them.
Then comes an extraordinary offer – spend the holidays in Washington, D.C., with King Jozef of Bariavak as his possible long-lost granddaughter. Even more extraordinary is the man behind the offer and the one who will be beside her through the coming weeks, diplomatic security agent Hunter Pierce.
This is the last assignment Hunter would pick. Determination and grit have moved him beyond his past in Bariavak. Yet, here it is standing in front of him again, refusing to be ignored. … Just like his reactions to April. How can he fight what he’s feeling when they’re together all the time.
King Jozef has known tragedy in his life. Now, comes this lovely young woman bringing joy to his holidays. How can he resist dabbling in some royal matchmaking. Wouldn’t it be delightful if he could give April a Christmas gift she will never forget… Her Prince for a Lifetime
I surprised myself by really loving this one and giving it 5 stars! This one just had the right amount of heart and the right amount of romance to keep me intrigued. I loved the story of April and Hunter, but I especially loved learning more about Hunter’s past. I had an inkling that he was somehow involved with the King and was proved correct when all was revealed. I don’t think I will be reading the rest of this series, but this one was great as an almost read-alone (they are some references back to previous books, but it’s not necessary to read all). Perfect for our snowy weekend’s read.
