My Review:

*ARC provided by Netgalley*

It was cute, short and romantic

I really enjoyed reading the book, it was short and intriguing. The story is about Gillian Harris, and Prince Maksim Yurkovich, and how they come to terms with each other when it comes to love. Maksim Yurkovich, a prince who is only loyal to his country before anything else is tested when he finds Gillian the granddaughter of a famous reporter. They have an instant connection and the desire that they have for each other ends up hurting them both when the prince finds out that Gillian will not be able to bare a child, an heir to the throne. Determined to keep his loyalty to his country, he finds himself breaking up with her. Devastated after spending the night with the prince. Gillian finds herself unable to stop thinking about him, she tries to move on, only to find out that she is infant pregnant with the prince's baby. Now that the news is out, they'll have to find a way to come together for the good of the country and the new baby on the way. Overall, the story was great, the ending was a bit rushed, at least to my liking, but it was very well-written and the story sucked me in completely. I've read stories with similar plot, but this book was great. The overall theme of the book was the meaning of unconditional love and new beginnings. I'm looking forward to reading more books from the author.
