A fun, fluffy romance that I can easily see as a rom-com...oh, except for all the steamy bits. Felix and Lio make an adorable couple. Some aspects of the story did not land well with me though, such as the trite conclusion to their romance and the superficial treatment of Lio's relationship with his parents.
Couldn't put it down
I love this book. It was so nice to be transported from Texas to Europe. I love Doc and Grandpa they Just crack me up.

This is the second Lucy Lennox book that I've read, and my feelings about this one are almost identical to the other. This author knows how to write dialogue, plot, and characters in such a way that their story pulls you in, but all of the novel's other aspects are weak, which ultimately ruins the overall experience of the book.
Scene-setting and descriptions are lacking, which is a big disappointment. I found myself focusing less on what was happening in the story, and more on attempting to picture what was occurring and where they were in relation to everything around them. It was all so vague that I never quite knew where the characters were positioned and what the space looked like. I firmly believe that this author needs a new editor, because there were far too many occurrences of "I could hear", "I could feel", and "I could see", etc.
I don't know if I'll read another book by this author.

A fun, sexy read. This was my first exposure to the Wilde clan, and it certainly has encouraged me to read more.
Felix and Lior are very strong characters, each with his own motivation and goals, and Lennox set up obstacles that will be very difficult for them to overcover.
The supporting characters are great -- I'd love to see Alfred the valet get his own book!

Normally I’m not a fan of royalty love stories but Felix and Lio are just too much. This is a great story with a fabulous ending. I loved seeing more of the Wilde clan, especially Grandpa and Doc.
Super fun and smoking hot!

Felix is a scholar going to study the beautiful stained glass at Gadleigh, a castle on a wintry island. He happens upon a secret room, where he finds Lio.
Lio is actually Prince Lior, who’s come to spend time on his own before becoming king. He finds Felix’s shyness, intelligence, and passion for stained glass to be intriguing, and Felix not knowing he’s a prince to be refreshing.
A beautiful love grows between them, and they understand the inevitability of their parting. But, others who love them encourage them to bring the monarchy into the present, and to not give up their chance at real love.
So fun to have a royal gay story, really interesting and sweet.
