I’ve been called a hypocrite.
I hate that.
I mean I give advice for clean, healthy living for a living, but when I let it slip to my fans that I’ve never been in love, I’m starting to wonder if anything I believe is real.
They are right. I’ve never let loose.
Enter Barron, a European prince of some small country near France and Italy. He’s a notorious womanizer, and supposedly wicked in bed so … wicked in bed so the rumors state as facts.
And he’s decided I’m perfect for him.
He’s perfect for me right now. I’ve never met a man so magnetically attractive.
He’s all muscles and his face just makes me grow goosebumps when I’m in the same room with him.
Do I try to live a little or should I follow my own advice and run.
True love doesn’t come from sex. I mean I practically wrote the blog on that.
And nothing about my feelings for Barron are good for clean living.
I’m absolutely paralyzed on what I should do and I never expected what happened in the end.

Powerful Prince by Victoria Pinder is a contemporary romance. It’s the fifth book from the Steele Series.
Nicole Steele was an influencer. She had a blog called Modern Life where she gave relationship advice, taught people how to live clean,
healthy lives and be the best version of themselves. One of her subscribers decided to make a video calling her a hypocrite since she had
never had sex. This made her feel horrible but didn’t have much time to respond since she had an important meeting with a mystery client.
That man was Prince Ryder Kristoff of Norden. His father had threatened to cut him off if he didn’t change, so he was under pressure.
At first, Ryder didn’t want to even listen to her but after talking with his father he invited her to dinner and made her a proposal.
She could be his princess so he could retire and get his fortune and she would have the much-needed privacy so she could write her book.
Nicole agreed and they decided to have a shotgun wedding but the King’s disagreement in some of her demands almost destroyed their plans.
Did they love each other enough to go against their first instincts?
It’s such a sweet fairytale romance. The plot is simple, easy to follow, with no drama and a few erotic moments. The theme was like an
insta-love but not precisely. There were instant lust and comfort between them like they knew each other for a long time. I liked the
scenery descriptions and the dilemma in the end. The characters were great as well. Nicole was very kind and forgiving but straightforward.
Ryder was impulsive and hothead but deep down he was very caring.
Powerful Prince is a romance I highly recommend to all ages since it doesn’t contain explicit scenes. I enjoyed reading it and I will rate
it with 4 stars.
Can’t wait to read this one!
What a great series. HEAs do come true!!
Ruder and Nicole are enchanting. But, they come from different lifestyles. The way the author mixes their lifestyles together along with family is why I read anything written by Victoria Pinder. The characters are true to life. You, as the reader, feel pulled right into the story. You find yourself waiting with bated breath until the ending. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
I found this book to be a very enjoyable and entertaining read with the great character and storyline development! The interaction and the chemistry between Nicole and Ryder kept me totally captivated until the turn of the very last page!

Delightful story of Nicole and Ryder falling in love quickly. Like most relationships, some rough patches occurred. The biggest problems are between Ryder and his father. Harry, Ryder’s brother, adds a bit of trouble as well. Ryder’s sister Emily is a sweetheart.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. This is my honest review.
Powerful prince Arc
Nicole is a blogger who shares her life with the world. When a private intimate personal matter becomes known she rises to the occasion but not feeling hurt in the process.
Ryder is a bad boy with a price. A prince with many limitations and freedom. He’s constantly pushing his boundaries until he takes it too far. Marrying a stripper wasn’t one of his brightest moments.
His father , the king steps in to do damage control and acquires Nicole because he felt they are a great match.
With some reasoning Ryders eyes are opened to a new possibility for his freedom. Nicole sees a great opportunity for her blog, besides it’s just business, right?
Things begin to change, unfamiliar feelings are on the rise. Can love be what these two were looking for after all. This modern day fairytale had a unique storyline.
Powerful Prince – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Nicole and Ryder’s romance in Powerful Prince reminded me of the real-life love story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
She’s a media celebrity (as a vlogger and online health guru), with millions of followers worldwide, while he’s the rebellious, independent younger brother of the heir to the throne of Norden, fed up with the restrictions that royal protocol places on him, including the arranged marriage he feels pressured into accepting, to gain even the limited freedom of ‘retirement’ from his suffocating position.
What happens when the young couple actually meet?
Will they be honest enough to confess how they really feel about each other?
Can Ryder and Nicole get their HEA after all, or will pride and self-doubt get in the way?
Victoria Pinder weaves a beautiful modern-day Cinderella story that will melt your heart and make you completely forget about your Covid-19 fears and Lockdown Blues, once you get your hands on Powerful Prince, Book 5 in her (Steel Series)… it’ll blow you away!
I liked the easy read of this interlude between Prince Ryder and Nicole Steele. When his butler brings Nicole to him for her Modern Living personal coaching, things didn’t go well. She was dismissed. But he really was attracted to her and when he learned his father had picked her to be his wife, he decided to give her another try. Next, they are on his private plane arranging contract negotiations for a ‘friendly’ marriage as they fly to his home country. Little do they know, his father, the king, with the imperial ‘we’ of the whole country, will have his say about the contract: no posting, blogging, etc. without approval! Hey, this is her life and her living, and the reason she thinks a royal marriage will be profitable for her! Will they fight him? Marry without approval and be thrown out of the country? Or call the whole thing off? Will either of them recognize love? Fun to touch base with Nicole’s sisters in the series.
Nicole is a blogger influencer and Ryder is an out of control spare Prince. She is being ragged on and she is losing followers and he wants out from under his father’s, the King, ruling thumb. So, they make an a deal for an arrangement that will benefit each of them. They didn’t count on the king to throw up so many roadblocks. See what they have to do…. nicely written and an enjoyable read!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
Large Ensemble Cast With Each Character Distinct And Unique – 5 Stars
This was a lovely romantic read. The story was well written, ease to read and was original. Character development over the course of the story occurred for both the main male and main female characters. Again, as with other novels in this series, there was a large ensemble cast, with characters easily distinguished from one another. It was a delight to “see” again and catch up with characters from past novels in this series. I really enjoy how in overlapping characters from one story to the next in a series, adds another element of cohesiveness to the whole process. Good Stuff!
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel from the author and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
This is the fifth book in the series and brings Nicole and Ryder’s story. The author brings strong characters and weaves an entertaining fairy tale type story with an insta love romance. She paints her scenes in detail with her descriptive writing and moves the story fluidly. I enjoyed and would recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Powerful Prince is the fifth book in the Steel family series and features Nicole Steel who is an influencer on social media. On a trip out to Las Vegas, she has a meeting with Prince Ryder of a small European country, where she is totally underwhelmed with this royal. Later, Ryder is informed that Nicole is his father’s choice to marry. After a reboot of their first impressions, both Ryder and Nicole discover that they actually like each other. A marriage between them would advance Nicole’s blog following and help Ryder distance himself from his royal duties.
The book is written well and the storyline compact. I am not a big fan of insta-love, but overall the book is entertaining. Powerful Prince is what I call “fluff” – an entertaining, feel-good story without suspense or angst and of course, an HEA ending.
4 stars
