Clara needs to escape the confines of her graduation party and encounters a mystery man smoking so she attacks. Alexander needed a break from the crowd and found a quiet place to smoke until a breath of fresh air jumped down his throat for smoking. This is a great introduction to these two characters and sets up a wonderful romance. Clara shows her guts, determination and willingness to stand up for what is right and gives us something to cheer for. Alexander shows his arrogance, charm and mystery. Of course, when a photo shows up in the tabloids from the kiss they share, Clara finds out who the mystery man really is … the Prince and she didn't recognize him. You sense that Alexander enjoyed meeting someone who didn't know who he was so any expectations normally placed on him are gone. For all of his arrogance, Alexander does step up to support Clara and help her with her new found fame. He tries to warn her away but she has been trapped by the connection they shared in that random hallway. The road to a relationship isn't easy for either of them … Alexander has the expectations of being the next King to life up to, Clara has her past demons to face – a failed relationship, her Mother's neglect … can these two lost souls find solace with each other? Geneva Lee surprised me with the twists and turns in this story. I love how it does draw upon events we have witnessed with the current royal family. There is a lot of fiction and well, fabulously steamy chemistry, that will keep you glued to the page. There is a cliff hanger ... I am very excited to read part 2!
