He’s the guy who broke her heart when they were teens, an experience she doesn’t plan on repeating.
Prince Leo can’t believe he’s finally found the woman he’s loved for years, and she wants nothing to do with him. When she shows up at his office, she looks anything but princess-like. In fact, she’s cursing him to hell and back. She may not be Cinderella, but he’s determined to prove he’s the prince for her––even if it means letting her go.
4-Stars Review
I liked it a lot. It's an entertaining story. Both Alicia and Leo are interesting characters. It's well-written novel. Definitely a good read for romance lovers.
Alicia has a bucket list and currently only one item has been marked off. She needs to find the courage to go through with it. So here she is looking for a complete stranger ..... In the end who she finds turn out to be someone from her past.
Leo doesn't want to treat Alicia the way he must. His country's laws are different and besides this might give him a second chance with her. Because even though it was ten years ago when he was in love with her, he still misses her. Now he can only hope for her forgiveness and may be, just may be a chance to have a future together...
I enjoyed reading this book and hope you do too! :D
