Crowned For His Christmas Baby by Maisey Yates
5.0
This was such a wholesome read. Vincenzo and Eloise are kind of a second chance couple, having known each other since their childhood. But the way they learn to love each other, after hardly receiving any affection from both their parents... It's beautiful how [a:Maisey Yates|3430431|Maisey Yates|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1451265471p2/3430431.jpg] has spun this story of two beautiful but broken souls finding each other.
The series starring the four fast friends, Prince Vincenzo Moretti, heir to the throne of Arista, Sheikh Jahangir Hassan Umar Al Hayat, Prince Zeus, and Rafael Navarro, kicks off with Prince Vincenzo and Eloise St. George, the daughter of his father's mistress.
I love a good revenge story involving a pregnancy. But this was different than your run of the mill Harlequin, and it was different in a good way. After the prologue, the story opens on a seven-months-pregnant Eloise, who is not really able to enjoy Christmas eve even after all the preparations she did. Even though she has a lovely furball Skerret to keep her company. The story, for the most part, then takes place seven months before, as Eloise thinks back to all the things that happened...
I loved how feisty Eloise is, even with the terribly limited choices she has had in her life. This story was path-breaking in so many ways. The speed with which the story progresses ensured that there was never a dull moment to be had.
Something that was refreshing was that in a way, Eloise and Vincenzo both had shades of grey, unlike characters being too good to be true; they both enjoyed the downfall of their tormentors, and while there was therapy involved, it was not presented as a cure-all for the pain that the protagonists had suffered.
The message of love and hope blooms throughout the story and the way all of the four friends came together was so funny. I can't wait to see them again in the next book.

And there was something hopeful in that. In knowing that she could change something about the world. And knowing that she could take a little piece of the hurt inside of herself and transform it into something different. Into something new.
