Or the whirlwind media scandal she’s about to ignite with him.
Rumors swirl, and the pressure is on to deflect the attention. But Desi’s feelings for Astin only blossom, despite allegations that he’s using her for his own gain. As she dares to date him under the radar, it becomes clear someone close to her is behind the scandal. And their secret won’t stay secret forever.
As tensions rise, Desi must decide if Astin deserves her trust. And, more important, her heart.
Crown Princess of Lorencia, Desdemona Catarina Marie
Ferrara-Patar, is better known as simply Princess Desi who has a spotted mini
pig named Octavian for a pet. Desi is still finding herself as a young woman
who will eventually be the Queen of Lorencia. She gets plenty advice from those
who are around and close to her. Chloe, her private secretary, helps Desi with
her daily itinerary who also gives advice on her personal affairs. Queen Mother
Nanon, Queen Emilia’s mother and Desi’s grandmother always reminds Desi that she
and her daughter have been through some of the same situations Desi is now
facing.
Desi’s mother, Queen Emilia, allows Desi much freedom to do as
she pleases until a certain suitor makes himself known, Astin Gold. Astin is
heir to the famous Gold Hotels Empire whom Desi knew since their teenage years
through college. He recently arrived in Lorencia to seek permission from the
Royal Family to expand the Gold Hotel located there. As Astin attempts to woo
Desi, she is taking care that he does not use her for his own personal gain.
I will not reveal anything other than what I mentioned in
previous paragraphs. I want you to read for yourself and feel just as good as I
did for Desi and her official decisions and for Astin as he comes to a definite
conclusion concerning his feelings for Desi.
I enjoyed the plot of this mystery love story and the concept behind
it. Just when you think Desi and Astin are going to bed down, they do not. This
was very refreshing for a love story being that there was no explicit sex
described. Very refreshing. The story line was of good quality but the constant
descriptive reference to Desi and how she felt when meeting Astin or the
different ways Astin smiled, or did not smile was redundant and should have
been edited a little more.
I recommend this mystery love story novel to those who like
mysteries and love stories. This one should be read on a cozy afternoon with a
cup of tea, coffee or cocoa and teacakes, croissants or biscotti.
I received this novel from CLP Blog Tours in exchange for an
honest opinion in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Guidelines.
