Great characters I really enjoyed getting to know the main characters。 A little different than the typical protagonists in these books but great! And there’s a joke in here about Benjamin’s step father’s name that had me legitimately giggling。

Swoon Worthy? Of Course!From the moment she wakes up in a hotel room in Vegas (and she's not with her friend Tessa) to staring down a snobbish stylist, Jazz is someone you have to cheer for。 She's strong - and she needs to be, but she's compassionate。 She isn't willing to let herself be walked all over。 Stephen Charles David Chauncey has turned over a new leaf, so it's been a while since he woke up in a hotel room with a hangover。 He has chosen to make better decisions, to not follow in the foot Swoon Worthy?

Candice Smith,
Another great book by a great author! Loved getting to know these characters and how old characters were still around to check in on。 I love that you never really have to leave characters when you finish a book because they will always show up again! I as given a copy of this book by the publisher。 The thoughts and opinions are all mine。

Another terrific book from Carol Moncado。 From an unlikely start, Jazz and David negotiate a life together。 They learn to trust each other and love follows。 What I loved most is that this book had some twists that truly surprised me and that resolution took time and effort。 Sometimes in life the best things can come from a truly bad decision。

David and Jasmine wake up one morning married, neither one sure how it happened。 She doesn't know he's a prince, about to become King of his country。 They need to stay married at first, but the possibility of annulment later might be an option。 Will they use that option or will they commit for the long haul? This story grabbed my attention from page one and never let go。 The characters quickly became people I could root for 。and wish the best for。 As always with this author's books, the settings David and Jasmine wake up one morning married, neither one sure how it happened。 She doesn't know he's a prince, about to become King of his country。 They need to stay married at first, but the possibility of annulment later might be an option。 Will they use that option or will they commit for the long haul? This story grabbed my attention from page one and never let go。 The characters quickly became people I could root for 。and wish the best for。 As always with this author's books, the settings are vibrant, the stories, while sharing a common theme, are fresh and original。 Truly a joy to read。 。。。more

Entering into this new series with hints to past characters in it, was a spot of happiness on my weekend。 There is just something about a book by this author, that gives me joy。 A fairy tale like story that happens in a not so fairy tale like way, will help you relate to the characters, believing in the story。

3。5I have long enjoyed Carol Moncado's books。 I am a follower of the British monarchy and love royalty so her long standing royalty books are quite fun to read。 I do have a hard time keeping up since most overlap。 Still, she puts together a good story and they are very enjoyable。My thanks to the author for a copy of this book。 I was not required to leave a positive review。 3。5I have long enjoyed Carol Moncado's books。 I am a follower of the British monarchy and love royalty so her long standing royalty books are quite fun to read。 I do have a hard time keeping up since most overlap。 Still, she puts together a good story and they are very enjoyable。My thanks to the author for a copy of this book。 I was not required to leave a positive review。 。。。more

If you’ve read The Spare and the Heir about Gabe and Esme, this story is about Gabe’s brother, and is the first book in a series called Tiaras and True Love。 If you haven’t read The Spare and the Heir, I recommend you read it first so that you have more background about what’s going on as The Heart of the King begins。 (Note: Jazz does appear a few times in her friend Tessa’s story, Small Town Girls Don’t Marry Their Best Friends, but not much is said about her background, so you don’t need to re If you’ve read The Spare and the Heir about Gabe and Esme, this story is about Gabe’s brother, and is the first book in a series called Tiaras and True Love。 If you haven’t read The Spare and the Heir, I recommend you read it first so that you have more background about what’s going on as The Heart of the King begins。 (Note: Jazz does appear a few times in her friend Tessa’s story, Small Town Girls Don’t Marry Their Best Friends, but not much is said about her background, so you don’t need to read it before Heart of the King)。I enjoyed reading this book。 Moncado develops some new “villains” to provide plot twists and challenges。 The characters grow and mature and fall in love in classic Moncado style。 Characters from other books show up all the time, and plot threads from several books continue to weave together。 If you haven’t read any Moncado books, I’m not sure you should start with this one, but it’s a great addition to her list of books。 。。。more

What happens if you wake up and find yourself married to someone you don’t even remember meeting? Well, that’s the start of this newest book in the many “royal” stories written by Carol Moncado。 In this story, we find two individuals who make a decision while not really thinking clearly and it changes the rest of their lives。 Each one has something in their pasts that weighs heavy on them and if they want to make their new life together last, they need to work through those things。 Throw into th What happens if you wake up and find yourself married to someone you don’t even remember meeting?

You won't be disappointed。I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more
