His life was not his own, but he would risk it to save hers.
From the moment he stepped into her world, it changed forever.
Falling for Prince Alexios had doomed Serenity to heartbreak because his duty and his future belonged to his people.
This wasn't the first time she'd been forced to gather her shattered pieces and rise again. Her name was one of the biggest in the fashion industry, and her struggles had only proven she had the courage and strength to survive.
But then Alexios dared ask her to design a wedding dress for his future princess.
Never. Not in a million years!
Except, the nightmare from her past has returned—looking for revenge—and a royal palace in a little-known country on the other side of the ocean is the perfect place to hide.
But can she hide the fact that she still loves Alexios? Especially when it's clear that his engagement is nothing more than a political arrangement, and that he still has feelings for her as well?
Between her past and his future, fate is determined to keep them apart.
My Review: 4 Stars
Prince Alexios is ready to get married and this arranged marriage is all for his family's gain. When his future bride insists on having Serenity design her gown, these two are brought back together in a flash of chemical reaction.
My only issue with the story is that I felt there should have been a whole book written about the back story between Serenity and Alex. Maybe there was and I missed it? Yes, it wouldn't have ended well, but I felt like I was missing some pieces and was literally dying to know their history in more (swoony) detail.
Otherwise, the glimpses of suspense and peril were a perfect addition to a very sweet romance. I love a story with mixed societal positions--royalty and a commoner...and from different countries, too. For me, this element makes the story very relatable and allows for the reader to dream.
These are characters who are easy to love. I loved visualizing Serenity's dress designs and loved her dedication to her craft. When faced with a crazy man from her past, she does what she has to do to survive the experience, even when it puts her in the face of the one who got away. How hard would that be? As for Alex, he's true to his heart, yet he's kind--oh, so kind. This prince is definitely a catch!
If you've ever dreamed of falling for a prince, you're sure to enjoy this one.
Content: mild, swoony romance; mild violence/peril
Sounds cute...but maybe I should read the other books first?
