I loved this fantasy romance!!! Both steamy and sweet, with enough political intrigue to make it a worthy successor to the first book in the series. There is a definite Robin Hood vibe to this story of an outcast prince and his band of rebels, with a touch of magic and all the kissing. This book stands alone, though I’m eagerly awaiting the next in the series.
Is it possible to write a sweet romance that is also steamily sultry? Apparently it is, as the story is as sweet as any fairy tale but the scenes when Zara and Callum are alone are HOT. That together with Zara learning to stand rather than follow and Callum pursuing his dreams make for a delightful light read for young adults over 16.

Lots of Intrigue and Magic!
What a delightful fantasy novel! I liked how the author jumped us right into the action, showing a pivotal event from the hero’s past. The book had all sorts of elements that are always fun to see in fantasy, like court intrigue, hidden magic, forced betrothals, rebel camps, and much more. But I’ll let you discover that for yourself if this kind of fantasy interests you. The book could be read as a standalone, but you would most likely appreciate the deeper background that reading the first book would provide.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
This is book 2 of The Lost Royals Series. It’s a well written book with well developed characters. It has a storyline that keeps your interest and a beautiful book cover. I would recommend reading this story.

The second book in The Lost Royals series a well written story that kept me turning pages. This is Prince Callum of Embury and Princess Zara of L’Ortagia’s story, it starts with Callum watching from his hiding place as his parents are assassinated at the hands of a very evil man. This story grabbed my attention from the start and did not let go until I had finished reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the first book that I have read in the series and I did enjoy it.
I liked both of the main characters and they had a depth of character. There is plenty of emotion, danger and people out searching for them. At times it was hard for them (and the reader) to know who exactly to trust. And others like Viola it was as clear as day that she was 100% on their side. There were a few others that fell into that category as well. So they made for good secondary people.
Zara had a gift that her mother, the Queen made her ashamed of as a child. So she had to keep it hidden and not practice it’s use. In other words, she wasn’t allowed to let it grow. The Queen so often disapproved of just about everything Zara did that she finally stood up and made what was thought of as a risky choice.
Callum sure gave mixed signals when it came to Zara. Yes, he wanted her BUT he had several reasons why he was hesitant to pursue her. He felt he really had nothing to offer her as a future. And he had the important mission to recover his siblings or siblings. And to take back the throne from the usurper and back to his family, the rightful rulers. However even with all the stated reasons it didn’t keep him from some very heated sexual situations with Zara. Mixed signals, remember? She was attracted to him as well but was often confused by his on and off affections.
I enjoyed watching Zara’s growth and the Nocturne magic that is also involved in some of that growth.
Everything comes to a good end with a H.E.A. for now ending. Which in reality leaves the door wide open for MORE adventures in this series.
By the way, the attractive eBook cover caught my attention enough to slow down and read the book information.
