    If you are looking for quick and enjoyable love story then this is just the one. I always find that when two characters have a strong dynamic between them it makes everything so much better. Ella is strong and at the same time she has emotional insecurities that need someone who is able to break through them. Viggo is a Royal, in fact he will be king. When he meets Ella they are young, but he is already taken with her. He sees her for everything she is and he knows what he wants. As time passes will these two really be each others forever, will Ella be able to let her heart open to love? The constant banter of Ella and Viggo will keep the pages turning all the way to the end!

    4.5 Stars
    I thought that this was a great book. I loved Ella and Viggo together with awesome connection and chemistry. Ella is sassy and can hold her own and Viggo loves her for it. Viggo fell for Ella when they were in boarding school and even thought Ella brushed him off, he always knew she would be who he married one day. These two are explosive together and I loved the drama, suspense, intrigue, steam, and HEA that this book had to offer us. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Gia as a wonderful author.

    A Royal Romance…
    This quick modern day Royal romance is a quick read…I mean a couple of hours, which is perfect for an evening read. The Royal couple, Viggo and Ella’s dialogue was flirty, sexy, and kept the storyline moving along. There was just enough drama to unit them and declare their love even stronger which led to a satisfying epilogue.
    I’m definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment.
    PEACE.

  • Michelle

    Viggo has had a thing for Ella for as long as he can remember so when her father gets caught selling secrets it's Viggo's time to get Ella. Things take an interesting turn when they marry while he is away at war but when he returns years later sparks fly and he's determined to win her heart over. This is a short story about a King and a Queen falling in love. The writing is good, the characters are interesting and the ending is great.

  • Rose

    I really liked this instalove story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were interesting and likable. Prince Viggo fell in love with Ella when they were in high school and while away dealing with a conflict he married her by proxy. After they were reunited they explored their attraction to each other. I liked their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.

    Liked it

    Viggo and Ella have been dancing around their feelings since they were teens. Now young adults and wed by proxy, they finally get the chance to spend time together after he's been off at war. Their reunion is interrupted when the fight is brought to their doorstep, forcing them to realize what is at stake.

    A good short story with a smart-mouthed heroine and her flirty hero.

  • Sarah Nielsen

    This was a different type of marriage story but I really liked it. Ella and Viggo had a strong connection but their relationship definitely wasn’t straight forward. I liked the way the story went back and forth in time so we got a sense of the reasons why. This was an enjoyable read.

  • Kanani

    Gia Bailey painted a sexy, sweet fairy tale picture with Viggo and Ella's story. They were so perfect together. Their chemistry sizzled and sparked right from the beginning. Viggo's love was the kind of love that stands the test of times. This was a charming story with a delightful happily ever after!

  • Michele

    Wonderful story of two people who found each other but it took years and unusual circumstances to give them their happily ever after. Wonderful characters that show growth and devotion to each other.
