An Heir Fit for a King by Abby GreenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Abby Green does it again!!! Another stunningly beautiful and romantic love story…A King meets and falls in love with a working girl!!! What dreams are made of!!1
An Heir Fit for a King is the 13th novel in the One Night With Consequences Series and having read most of the series, this is definitely one of my favorites.
Once I started page 1, I couldn’t stop turning the pages. The 1st chapter ….just pulled me right into the amazing world that this talented writer created. What a start to the story….The King in exile…..
Meets the owner of a perfume shop in Paris…
She had pale olive skin, a straight nose and full soft lips. Sexy. A firm yet delicate jaw. High cheekbones. Her hair was a sleek fall of black satin behind her shoulders and Alix had the bizarre compulsion to reach out and see if it would slip through his fingers like silk.Alix Saint Croix (is this not a sexy name….), exiled, king in waiting to reclaim his throne is …what words can best describe this gorgeous man…..
I will let Leila tell you ..
It was only now that Leila even registered his face. She’d never seen anything so boldly beautiful in all her life. Dark olive skin, dark enough to be Arabic? High cheekbones and a sensual mouth. It could have been pretty if it wasn’t for the deep – set eyes, strong brows and even stronger jaw, which had clenched along with that look of irritation.He has a very tragic and sad past, has lost someone he loved and is determined never to allow himself to love someone again that he may once again lose.
Leila has experienced some sad moments in her life. She lives alone, taking care of her perfume shop left to her by her mother. She misses her mother terribly as she was the only family she had in her life. She’s determined to succeed in carrying on her mother’s legacy. She has also been let down by a man she had loved and has a very negative view about rich and handsome men. She is afraid that she will become like her mother….discarded and abandoned by the man she had loved.
Alix is confused by the conflicting feelings he has when he first meets Leila, whilst buying a perfume for his soon to be no longer mistress…
He decides there and then that he has to have her!!!! Never mind that she refuses every invitation he gives her!!! He’s not alone in feeling the chemistry between himself and Leila..but she fights back…afraid to be hurt and abandoned again!!! But he persists….he continues with his seduction….and she continues feeling that this is not the kind of man that she wants…
But he soon wears down her protests…and Leila, believing that this will be just a short time together, no strings attached…she won’t let her heart give in…..And so begins the adventures of Alix and Leila.
Leila was a very endearing heroine. Her life had been very sheltered and she’s suddenly thrust into a world of glamour she never imagined existed….One of the scenes I loved was when Alix flies her to Venice to attend an opera show…she’s never been on a plane before!!! Her excitement was totally fabulous..
And the exotic locations that the story is set are so vividly described that I felt I could have been there myself….
The emotional connection between Alix & Leila was another thing I enjoyed about this story. The intense and powerful feelings for each other. Haunted by his past, Alix finds himself having to face his demons even more now, when he discovers that Leila is pregnant with his baby. Will it be too late for both of them to find happiness together when they keep fighting their true feelings for each other? Will Leila reveal the true feelings she has for Alix?
Both will have to face their past and open up their hearts to each other before they can find their happiness.
Just remember the part, just after Leila and Alix meet in her shop and he goes back to the Ritz Hotel with his bimbetto soon to be ex mistress…
Leila lives across the road from the hotel and she has a habit of watching the hotel windows with her binoculars…and wow…she does see Alix at the window…and sees a bit more before he closes the curtains!!! It was such a hilarious scene. I will think of this whenever I see the name Ritz Hotel!!
The epilogue was amazing… I loved it!!! You see, I love HEA….no, this is not a spoiler….of course there’s a HEA…this is Mills & Boon guys!!!! So, let me leave you with this picture of Alix & Leila…
oh….get this book!!!! It’s a fantastic Prince Charming meets and whisks Cinderella away into the sunset to live HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!
