To Love a Prince Review

To Love a Prince by Nana Malone

Synopsis: Provided by Goodreads

The good news is, I'm out of exile and I have the woman I love by my side. And I still have my crown, tarnished though it may be.

The bad news is...all of that is temporary.

There are those that want me as far away from the crown as possible. I still have a killer on my tail who has a more permanent solution in mind. Oh and there's the small matter of all the secrets I'm keeping from Ariel.

For her I risked it all, but will she wind up paying the price?

Once she knows my secrets. What will she do to protect me and the crown?

What will I be willing to do to protect her?

The answer is: everything.


My Review:
Rating: 4 stars


This book picked up right where the last one stopped. I enjoyed unveiling the mystery of who was trying to kill Tristan. This book was different in the first one as that it had a couple of other characters POV besides just Tristan and Ariels. I have come to like the dual POV between the couple to understand what motivates the characters. I will say I love how the women in Nana's books are not damsels in distress but can kick butt when and if needed, even if it's their significant others. Tristan and Ariel's romance was not angst filled but not all sunshine and rainbows. It seemed very authentic to a real relationship. Again, I did not read some of the other side series of this book and I was still able to follow most of the characters, but after reading about Sebastian and Penny and now Tristan and Ariel I can't wait to read more from Nana. Although, I do know my lesson and I will make sure to have both books before starting the first one because they always end on a cliffhanger and you just devour them.

Return of The Prince



Return of The Prince (The Prince Duet #1) by Nana Malone 

Synopsis: Provided by Goodreads

I’ve been a prince in exile, but I'm finally going home, tarnished crown and all. This time, I won't let anyone keep me away...Not Ariel, the woman I left behind. Not the killer on my tail. Hell, not even my cousin--the king--can stop me.

Unlike my conniving brother, I have no designs on the throne. Let better men rule.

But I do have a score to settle.

Everything was going just fine until Ariel is assigned to my protection detail. Little Miss Hates My Guts will ruin everything.

One look at her and I know it's not over between us. All I have to do is convince her I never forgot her...and not get dead in the process.

Return of the Prince (The Prince Duet #1)

My Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

This is the story of Tristan and Ariel. I met Ariel in Cheeky Prince and thought she was badass. I would recommend reading The Cheeky Prince and the other royal books. I have only read the first two about King Sebastian and Penny, but that helped with the background knowledge I needed of the other Royals. I will definitely go back and read the other Royal books. Ariel is now one of Sebastian's (the king) knights. She is tasked to protect his cousin Prince Tristan because he is being targeted. This book had a slow build romance.  Tristan and Ariel used to be together but then he left without any telling Ariel. There is a lot of sexual tension, except Tristan is now engaged. However, things are not as they seem between Tristan and his fiancee. I loved the chemistry between Tristan and Ariel and the fact they didn't fall back together. This was a slow build romance that ended on a cliffhanger so you will definitely want the next book on the ready for when you finish this one and guess what guys! It releases soon! Look back on my blog to see my review of To Love a Prince.
