Review:

A cruise, a handsome prince and a beautiful American make for an enchanting fairy tale. I loved this short and sweet novella and of course it made me wish I was on a cruise. Lindy was trying to get away for a bit and invited her cousin to join her on this cruise. She ran into a handsome stranger and was very cautious to join him when he invited her. Their connection grew quickly until her world was turned upside down with the truth. The story was very well written and was a quick read that kept  you interested til the very end. I look forward to reading more by this author.

As Nicholas and Kara repair her damaged studio together, outside forces threaten to tear them apart. Can Kara and Nicholas overlook each other's pasts to plan a future together?

Review: 

This is a unique fairy tale type novella that I very much enjoyed. It was very well written and was an easy read. Kara is working so hard to take care of her niece and live her dream of running a ballet studio. One night two wild men break into her studio causing a disaster and she feels her life goals are gone. Prince Nicholas tries to repair the damage and is a gentleman. I love that she didn't know who he was and that he was a Prince trying to make things right. The connection that forms between the two make things feel possible until she learns the truth of who he is. It was a short novella about trust and forgiveness.

Review:

Who doesn't love a story with a Handsome Prince involved... ooo la la I sure do! Julie is a very hard working and responsible woman who is working as a waitress while she is going to college. One day she meets a very handsome gentleman at work. Max is in the U.S. looking for investors and is strictly their on business and not to find a girlfriend. When he meets Julie at the lodge where she works he is drawn to her and their paths cross. Max is such a gentleman and helps Julie in many ways and she begins to really like him until his little- I mean BIG secret is revealed. This was very well written. I enjoyed the characters and their interaction and chemistry that oozed off the pages. It is a very short read and I look forward to reading more by Sophia. This is a sweet clean and swoon worthy romance. And I love the cover!! The only complaint I have is that it was too short.
