Vilain petit canard de la famille royale britannique, la princesse Alexandra (dite Sasha), deuxième dans l'ordre de succession au trône, fait le bonheur de la presse à scandale et le désespoir de son père le roi.

Pourtant, Sasha ne parvient pas à se remettre de leur premier baiser, trop vite interrompu. D'abord réticente à succomber aux avances de la princesse, dont le monde lui semble trop éloigné du sien, Kerry apprend à regarder au-delà des apparences. Le poids de la couronne sera-t-il trop lourd pour leur relation naissante ?

Avis de Violette

J'ai beaucoup aimé cette romance (entre une princesse britannique et une future architecte). Cela fait du bien de lire une histoire entre deux femmes, et si parfois quelques dialogues ont eu l'air étranges, le roman soulève des questions intéressantes.

This collection of three love stories dealing with love a new found furry child and finding love on a human level is a very comfy smile friendly book that gives three different stories from three different authors.

 We have three stories that only connection is the rescue but no interchange between them.  We have three different authors with each having their own unique writing style but they do complement each other.  Each story felt like a fluffy duvet on a cold day sitting next to the fire and reading about the joys of love.  

 The characters are well developed and although each story is very singular they do all have a similar plotting dealing with finding love on a human level.  The pet aspects of the stories really shine through and each of the authors are able to capture the animal characteristics within the pets being adopted.  The human characters are very hallmark television film and that is not a criticism as I quite enjoy those on a cold Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea.

 The only negative is that it would be nice if there was some cross pollination of characters with cameos of each other characters to give the whole book a feeling of cohesiveness in a volume but saying that if viewed as a short story collection, then it does work on that level.

 Comfortable, passes a smile in a world where love conquers all, you can not go very wrong.  I highly recommend this.

Review: The Princess Deception by Nell Stark. 

I’m always here for books that don’t conform to the hetero norm, and Nell Stark has incredible expertise in creating books that definitely don’t conform to that, and it shows again in her new book The Princess Deception. 

The book’s plot is based on Twelfth Night, using the plot in a modern retelling for this story and it’s effective, it was a good plot for Shakespeare and doesn’t let down Stark as she builds and creates some really great characters and really uses the story well in a new and modern setting. Stark’s writing throughout the book is strong and doesn’t descend at all into anything particularly cheesy, the suspense is there and the romance is okay.

From the start of the book the characters are really well developed, we have great background stories for the characters and they give a strong frame for the plot as it goes on. However there are issues as the books goes on with the characters that I do consider uncomfortable. For me this is Viola’s behavour - which is awful towards Duke and not something in fiction I particularly enjoy reading, I feel how it comes over in the book feels an abuse of power. 

A good book, strong characters, great plot, not a big fan of the most important character at all though and I consider that a shame. 

(I received an ARC from Netgalley for review).

I love Nell Stark’s Princess Affair Series… It is fun that all the other characters come back and help each other out. This one was different from the other two in the series. Viola impersonated her brother and so she played a male for most of the book. Even though there was definitely chemistry between Duke and Viola from the beginning. Viola’s character seemed kind of split – she seemed very…
