Book Blurb
Maxwell Jameson Trevor, prince of Lilaria, hates his royal role. Despising the limelight, he takes solace in his art studio and steers clear of any drama. But when one of the newly discovered royals passes away, Maxwell's brother Alex asks him to break the news to the old man's granddaughter. Though he hates to be the bearer of doom and gloom, he doesn't want the poor girl to find out from the tabloids. For Maxwell knows all too well how devastating that could be.
Coming from a broken home and modest background, newly ordained Lady Meredith Thysmer has seized her chance to make a better life for herself and her son. She's not afraid to use her best assets to get what she wants. But when the unpretentious yet devastatingly handsome Max delivers his news, her plans for the future come crashing to a halt. In the challenging days ahead, Max's compassion, humor, and steadfast loyalty to Meredith and her son win her over. She quickly finds herself doing something she swore would never happen again: falling in love. And yet Maxwell still refuses to completely drop his guard. Somehow Meredith's got to find a way to seduce this reluctant royal.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
In the third book of the Royal Series, Meredith Thysmer has been attending school in England and been cast in the holiday show as the lead. During rehearsal one day, she receives a visit from Prince Maxwell. She is shocked to see him and devastated over the news he has to relay. Her grandfather has passed away and Max is there to escort her home to Lilaria. Meredith is reeling from what has happened. Once she and Marty arrive, she is thrust into the whirlwind affair of planning a funeral for a Duke. She is feeling completely overwhelmed and on top of that she has to deal with her alcoholic father.
Everyone keeps offering help but she is used to doing things for herself and is hesitant to accept it, plus she is embarrassed over her father’s behavior. So she wants to keep as many people away as possible. The members of the royal family are relentless, however, and Meredith is no match. Max rescues her and her son and they end up staying with him after her father’s meltdown. Now they are waiting for the reading of the will and Meredith is trying to keep her distance from Max.
Unfortunately for her, he doesn’t agree with her point of view. Meredith’s life changes drastically after her grandfather’s will is read. Max also has to decide what he really wants. It has been a very short time they have been together. Is it what they both want?
I love this series. I am sad to see it end. The characters were royalty but more down to earth than you would expect. You can see yourself hanging out with them. It was also fun to revisit the whole cast of characters. They all showed up again. I enjoyed seeing my favorites and how they interacted with the main characters in this book.
My favorite part of the whole story was watching Max being taken by surprise by Meredith and his feelings. He didn’t know what hit him. Men are entertaining to watch when that occurs. I like to smile smugly about it. She brings him to his knees and makes him want something he didn’t before. It is my favorite format for romances and the author definitely delivered. I give it a 4 out of 5.
