Secret Prince's Christmas Seduction

Beautifully paced, this romance has all the feels! Rafe is recovering from yet another close call from one of his devil-may-care adventures, so he seeks refuge at a secluded resort owned by one of his friends, where his anonymity is protected while he struggles to figure out how to be his own man without sacrificing his responsibilities to the crown. Antonietta takes a job at the small resort near her family in an effort to reconcile with her estranged parents, who have shut her out for years for walking away from an arranged marriage. Never one for the gossip rags, she only knows that the VIP in the August suite is a celebrity of some sort, but she never dreamed he was royalty. These two hit it off right from the start; he is her safe space while she is his soothing balm of peace. This is a cautiously moving romance, as each one fully understands the baggage they bring and what their chances are for a future together. There's plenty of drama but no true villains in this story as they work towards a HEA that neither believes is possible. The conclusion is completely satisfying for all parties, and I couldn't have loved this book more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Enjoyed this tale about Rafael and Antonietta who deal with their own challenges in life while finding a love together. Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.
