A Prince on Paper - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

A Prince on Paper (Reluctant Royals #3)

by Alyssa Cole

What is it about:

The Reluctant Royals series returns with a good girl searching for the life that’s not too big, and not too small, and the bad boy prince who might be just right for her…

Nya Jerami fled Thesolo for the glitz and glamour of NYC but discovered that her Prince Charming only exists in her virtual dating games. When Nya returns home for a royal wedding, she accidentally finds herself up close and personal—in bed—with the real-life celebrity prince who she loves to hate.

For Johan von Braustein, the red-headed step-prince of Liechtienbourg, acting as paparazzi bait is a ruse that protects his brother—the heir to the throne—and his own heart. When a royal referendum threatens his brother’s future, a fake engagement is the perfect way to keep the cameras on him.

Nya and Johan both have good reasons to avoid love, but as desires are laid bare behind palace doors, they must decide if their fake romance will lead to a happily-ever-after.

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:

I loved the first two books and the novellas in this series, but somehow it took me ages to pick up this book.

And it turns out I really should have picked it up sooner, because this is such a delicious book.

I loved both Nya and Johan from the start. Nya has been sheltered in a bad way all her life, so she has trouble with opening up to others, while Johan is used to playing the bad boy prince to protect both his heart and the people he cares about.

I rooted for both of them to open up to each other, as they were such a perfect fit. The tension between them was so good. I kept reading to get to the satisfying conclusion of this romance.

If there's one thing I can say against this book it's that I had some trouble with the name of one of the minor characters: Arschlocher... Yeah... Anyone remotely familiar with the German language will probably raise an eyebrow at that name. How much more obvious do you want the name of an @hole to be? I wondered if his first name was Zak.

That aside I had lots of fun with this book, and I'll most definitely get my hands on the first book of the spin-off series Runaway Royals.

Why should you read it:

It's a delicious and very enjoyable Romantic read.
