FYI: This book is actually the prequel to the Princes of Avce series.
Although titled as book 9, it is the story of Prince Leopold and Princess Anna and their courtship. I did find Prince Leopold annoying for his lack of backbone; therefore, I rated this book 3 stars.
I have enjoyed each book by this author and this one was no exception. I was a little confused until I realized that this book preceded the Princes of Avce series. (It helps if you actually read the book blurb! Lol) Now I need to go back and find out what happened to Francesca’s baby. A great series and this book is a clean romance.
fun read
This book took us 30 years in the past as we watch Leopold race against his own deadline to be married by his 30th birthday. He asks his secretary Anna when his parents won’t accept the model in his bed. There are twists and turns as we get this delightful look into the history of Avce. Now I want to go back and reread the 1st books set in Avce. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Oh, those nobles of Avce who must marry by age 30. This is a nice little PG15 romance involving the Crown Prince and his secretary, which can be read in less than a day. I read an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
Prince Leopoldo must marry before his 30th birthday. His parents do not approve of his girlfriend. They suggest that he should marry his secretary….
Great story, enjoyed a lot.
Great book! Loved the characters! Highly recommended read!
This book offers a sweet romance with a dash of intrigue.
It’s a very enjoyable read, quite entertaining and steamy.
I think it is the sweetest and most romantic book of this series.
I received an author’s copy and have left an honest review
I thought this book of Leopold and Anna and the scandals 30 years earlier. The author did great storytelling and character build up
I loved the ninth book in the Princes of Avce Series. This was a fun book to read and it had lots of twists and some drama. Crown Prince Leopold was quite a mess with a party animal reputation filled with hot models and endless parties. Sparks fly with Anna, his assistant but she is determined to protect her job and try to resist his advances. She realizes that he is really a different person than his image presents. A little bit of Cinderella and an old flame trying to cause some drama. Strong characters and an entertaining read. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review.
Crown prince Leopold has lived a rebellious life because he hasn’t been respected. But now on the cusp of his thirtieth birthday, the traditional deadline for marriage if he is to be king, his parents have chosen his secretary to get his proposal instead of the model he has taken to his bed! He calls his parents’ bluff and proposes in their presence. When she agrees, the marriage is the next day. But how will the fact of the model’s pregnancy affect them all? That makes for this great novel by Pinder. Recommended Reading!

Another great tear-jerker romance. Delightful backstory of Anna and Leo, Queen and King, of the previous stories. It fills in a lot of the details while providing its own breathe of fresh air. I enjoyed it and hope that you do as well.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. This is my honest review.
Awesome contemporary royal romance. Leo is crowned Prince in Avce and is expected to be king one day. He has rebelled most of his life. Now he is approaching 30 and must marry according to Avce’s rules. Anna has been Prince Leo’s efficient secretary for a year. She has kept him on track and cleaned up his messes especially the female ones. Ms. Pinder does a wonderful job drawing the reader into the story. She develops characters of depth, compassion and strength. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this author.
