A Fabulous New Series – A Must Have Read
This is the first book in The Hidden Kingdom Series by Lexi Whitlow who is one of the USA’s best selling authors. This is not your typical prince meets a young woman and they fall in love romance. As Lexi Whitlow is the author, you should really expect so much more from her as she is just such a great writer. This is the story of Andreas [a prince] and Freya [an American ‘commoner’ who meet whilst on holiday in Ibiza [well say no more as we ALL know what goes on there – sun, fun and s@x]. He is incognito with his older brother Caelan [also a prince and heir to the throne] and they are enjoying renting a villa and having fun in the sun. Andreas notices Freya and is immediately attracted to her. She is with her best friend, Ally, celebrating dumping her rotten cheating ex boyfriend. The four young people get on very well with Caelan and Ally arguing about European politics the whole time but Andreas and Freya are enjoying each other. One night at a nightclub there is a dance competition with a wedding on the beach as a prize. They’ve both been drinking and don’t think it’s real so they enter and WIN!! They go through the ceremony and the next thing they realise is that it’s a real marriage and they can’t get out of it until they’ve lived together for six months and his parents have already arranged a political marriage for him anyway! Yikes! There is so much more going on but I really don’t want to spoil it for you. This is my favourite story by Lexi to date. Such great characters [is Caelan after Ally?? Is that going to be the next story??] and it was so very easy to like them as they were believable and genuinely ‘nice’ and that’s in a very good way. Plus the heat between Freya and Andreas is not to be ignored and they are just so good together. But I do wish I could have been there in the room when he told her that he was a Prince! I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED – A Must Have Read !! I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series.
