The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle
4.0
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
3.5 stars
I love Karina Halle's books/writing, and I always trust her to deliver a great story with fun characters. The Swedish Prince started out really good, I was in particular kind of obsessed with the HOT Swedish Prince Viktor. He was a very nice and understanding persona and I liked him right away. Maggie, has been dealt a bad hand, but she tries to make it work with what she has. She left everything behind and goes back to her home town to take care of her 5 siblings (which isn't easy). I appreciated how hard she worked to make a better life for them. It wasn't always easy, and she had her issues with some of them, but she never gave up, which shows she is a strong person.
I loved how Viktor and Maggie met, it was very fun and sexy. However, for me it was a bit difficult to connect with the characters. I also didn't feel a very strong bond between these two. I think the main reason for that is the fast pace of their relationship. At one point the story was elevated and it was put on high gear, which resulted in me feeling left on the side-lines of the story instead of being right in the middle. I still liked the plot and characters, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if I had time to really get into the story. However, I do want to say that I loved the fun plot and the interaction between Viktor and Maggie's siblings.
