Sophie Jordan's childhood was impoverished, and she started out as a maid for a billionaire. He saw her potential, and offered her a better life. She graduated from college, she worked hard, and she had a good life. She got a job, as Prince Adrian's private secretary.
Prince Adrian, was raised as a Prince that would one day become King. After an international scandal, he went to the United States, no longer in line to become King. When he hired Sophie, they both were quite taken with each other.
As Christmastime neared, Sophie wanted Adrian to buy personal gifts for his staff, and thought a party to meet the people in the area would be a nice thing to do. The night of the party, the guest used their phones to take pictures and the paparazzi got a hold of them.
Would Adrian and Sophie be able to overcome the past they left behind. Would they find the courage to take a leap of faith, and see where their feelings take them, or will they let the paparazzi win, by isolating themselves?
I enjoyed reading the story to see what really happens.
I received an ARC from Rebecca Heflin Books, LLC through NetGalley.
While I loved all the cozy sweet romance and holiday vibes I felt like we just jumped into this love story with not enough backstory or anything leading up to it.
A workplace romance. Prince Adrian and Sophie, the princess private secretary, fall in love. But is love enough considering their differences?
"Because even as you know it shouldn't be more, you want it to be more"
"She would remember this night for the rest of her life. The night she danced with a royal prince."
Thank you NetGalley and Rebecca Heflin Books, LLC for the eARC copy of Season to Give in exchange for an honest review.
I've never heard of Rebecca Heflin, but I adore Christmas romances, and secret roayls are usually a great trope, combine the two and I'm happy.
A Season To Give sounded so promising.
Resistance may be futile, but surrender would be scandalous. Sophie Jordan wears her sophistication like she was born to it—which couldn't be further from the truth. But she’d worked hard to shake off the coal dust of her impoverished upbringing and now holds a lucrative position as a private secretary. Trouble is, she’s in love . . . with her boss . . . who also happens to be a royal prince. In her profession, falling in love with one’s boss is a no-no. Even worse, falling in love with a royal prince is a recipe for a very public heartbreak.
His Royal Highness, Prince Adrian Henri Alexandre Xavier Duvernay of Montagneux has lost his throne as a result of his father’s reckless actions. Now self-exiled in the U.S., he is trying to make his way in this new life that has been thrust upon him. Even so, he can’t simply shed his royal identity like an overcoat. As if that wasn’t enough, Prince Adrian is also in love . . . with his private secretary. But after his father’s explosive international scandal, he has vowed to himself and to his family there will be no more scandals—scandals like a relationship with his private secretary would create.
When the two find themselves trapped alone together on Christmas Eve, Prince Adrian must resist the temptation that is Sophie Jordan—because giving in means risking scandal and following in his father’s disgraced footsteps.
For me though, it was a bit too unbelieveable, I didn't feel the chemistry and connection between the two main characters at all, it all felt very forced.
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.
Quick and charming read that conveys the warmth and festive atmosphere of Christmas just like a Hallmark movie. A great book to read if you want to cheer up and change your mood.
The use of Jane Austen's Quote from Pride at Prejudice at the end of Chapter 1 was a nice touch that can be used to summarize the overall main characters of the story. The royal and aloof prince that still adheres to royal protocols even though his father has abdicated the throne and the warm, beautiful commoner that encourages him to integrate into American Society.
This is the fourth book in the Seasons of Northridge series. I have not read the other books, but assume it is intended to be a stand alone.
This follows Sophie Jordan currently working as a private secretary for a former Prince Adrian. Adrian’s father abdicates his throne when he falls in love with his own personal secretary which causes Adrian to lose his right to the throne. He and his mother move to the States.
I struggled with this one a bit. The book starts with Sophie already having worked for Adrian one full year. We are told they both secretly love the other. I personally had a hard time feeling the connection and love. The book was written well. I’m but sure if a part of it is because I have not read the other books.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I found this book really boring and hard to get into. I has such high hopes after reading the description, but it fell flat for me
This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from Rebecca Heflin Books,LLC and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.
A quaint read fun of charm,
This was an enjoyable read, picture a hallmark romance with heat, but my only qualm with it was how the romance started; it felt as though the author didn’t know how to make the jump to romance and just decided that the characters should out the blue say let’s start something, which felt forced and unnatural.
