FINDING PRINCE CHARMING
The Match Made In Heaven series are each stand-alone stories by various authors. Sweet, clean, heartwarming that get you in your feels, and maybe some happy tears. There is just the right amount of angst, issues, and eventually, solutions to keep the pages turning with wonderful characters.
The story is a sweet second chance romance that will bring to high school sweethearts back together after eight years. It isn’t a reunion or a match that either planned, but instead, a conspiracy of their parents. A forced arranged marriage between Maxwell and Lillian.
A troublemaker will break up the relationship between Max and Lily, and while each is upset with the other, there are no straight answers as to what happened. She breaks up with him; he doesn’t know why and it will send both of them in new directions. She will dedicate her life to doing good, and helping others, and he will become a reckless playboy with a nasty reputation.
When the King decrees, it is best to listen, and he has had enough of the Crown Prince, orders him home immediately and forces him to straighten up his act, start living up to his obligations and royal duties. Getting the public and press on board won’t be easy, but it is doable.
Lady Lillian will receive a phone call to leave China and return to Triola to help her father in court, or at least that is what she is told. But that isn’t all; it has been decided that she will marry the Crown Prince. How can she do that when she doesn’t trust him? She must guard her heart, so it isn’t broken again.
The story will have Lily and Max become acquainted again and eventually learning what happened to break up their relationship. The more Max is around Lily, the better of a person he wants to become, shedding his reputation, and having the people of Triola respect him. With her sweet personality, kindness to others, and Christian beliefs, he will want to have that too. He will take the good with the bad and hold up stoically when ridiculed. Public appearances will make a difference, and Lily will see a side of him that she remembers from school.
“I saw you with the children on the patio,” Lily confessed. “If people saw that side of you, they would realize what I do. There’s a good man lingering just below the bad boy image you’ve cultivated over the years.”
While this story does mention church and prayer, it isn’t preachy, just a simple, clean romance that has imperfect people falling in love. There is only mild kissing in the story. It is a chance for forgiveness, redemption, and acceptance, with a future for new beginnings.
Jenna Brandt never fails to amaze me with her writing.
This book has it all, love,suspense,humor and God.
Liliana and Maxwell go through lots of changes to come to God.
This was a very enjoyable romance. Liliana was a young lady that stuck to the straight and narrow. I loved her strength of character throughout the book. Max was a young man that knew he didn’t want to live a life filled with rules and expectations. He was a bad boy in the story to begin with. I loved how the couple had dated while they were in high school, but a misunderstanding tore them apart. I love how the couple was forced to work together to make Prince Max look good in public. They each had their hearts on the line again. I recommend this book to those that love second-chance romances and bad boy/good girl romance. I received a copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Once they were childhood sweethearts but that ended badly. Lady Liliana used her life to help others but crown prince Maxwell of Triola made a mess of his life by partying and just living for himself. Now his dad forced him to come back home and clean up his life.
When they are forced in a engagement they both aren’t happy but can they still make their relationship work?
I enjoyed this entertaining second chance story.
A fantastic read. Lily and Max are both royals. Max is a playboy and his father orders him home to get a hold of it. Lily and Max had dated previously but broke up. Will they fall in love instead of just being told they had to Marry. I totally loved this read. This is a great read. To sit and relax and just go away in your own comfy spot and read. A definite must read.

Very Enjoyable!
I enjoyed this second chances book with all its ups and downs.
Max and Lily are being forced to get together again by their parents with a view to marriage but history seems to want to repeat itself and this almost doesn’t happen.
This story brings in the human element with all the conflicts, desires, emotions, longings, beliefs and so on in it so that I could quite imagine it happening in real life.
I read an Advance Reader Copy and this is my unbiased and voluntary review of it.
A great story about royalty and love. Max and Lily are wonderful characters, Max turned wild but Lily still a God fearing women. The story is a sweet romance but with opposition from others who try to destroy it. I love the fairy tail setting with royalty, servants and a prince’s kiss!
Sweet, Clean and Christian Romance
This novella is about the love match and second chance romance of a Crown Prince. The story is short and sweet. The plot twists are rather simple and the ending is expected. Even with no surprises in the story, it is well worth the read. I received this ARC book for free and this is my honest review.
I thoroughly enjoyed Royally Matched. Ms. Brandt has produced another wonderful romance for us. I enjoy how the characters grow as the story progresses. This one is about turning your life over to God with whom all things are possible. This story is full of family drama, a reluctant prince, forgiveness, responsibilities and second chances. Do not miss this sweet romance.

What a great start to a new series. This is a wonderful story about second chances. I
can’t wait to read the next book. I received an ARC copy of this book and was not
required to write a review. This is my honest opinion.
Who wouldn’t love a prince! But that’s the problem. ALL the girls want him. And nobody wants to share — especially if they can be a queen someday. Read this lovely story to find out WHO the real winner is!!
