A fun read!
This is the first book in the series It’s Raining Royals, but I read it third, after The Bastard Prince and The Beast Prince which are books 2 and 3. I enjoyed this book so much. This one especially can be read as a stand-alone, but it sets up the story for books 2 and 3. The Boss Prince is Max Delaroche, who at the start of the story is given a quest, to look for a missing key that will be necessary to save his family’s kingdom. To assist him in finding this key, he is partnered with a woman whom he’s never met- Lucie Laborde. The circumstances of their meeting are funny, setting the tone for the rest of the book. The author, Alix Nichols, has written a smart, interesting mystery-romance. Her characters are human, flawed, and very likeable. Of the three books in this series that she’s written so far, this one is my favorite, but I did enjoy all of them. Well written, with no obvious grammatical errors, the story is worth reading. Hopefully book 4 will be out soon, as the overall story, the mystery, gets into your brain, and the reader wants to know what happens next. I was given an ARC of the book through BookSirens and this is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
