![The Crown Prince's Bride (The Prince Duology) by [Alward, Donna]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51rLBEd6MTL.jpg)
A Crown Prince gets a second chance at love with the woman who’s always been there - in the next book in the prince duology from Donna Alward!
The Crown Prince of Marazur is suffering from a broken heart. After losing his wife and future queen, he knows he’ll never find love again with a partner as wonderful as her. He’s thrown himself into his duties and is trying to be a better father to his two children, but he’s lonely. Even though falling in love seems impossible, so does spending the rest of his life alone.
Stephani has been Raoul’s assistant for years. Smart, loyal, and discreet, Stephani is fantastic at her job. Except for the fact that she’s been in love with her boss since her first week of employment, not that she would ever act on it. Besides, Raoul is first in line to the throne and she’s his assistant. If Raoul ever marries again, it’ll be with someone who can be a future queen. Not someone like Stephani.
When Raoul’s date for a state dinner is unable to attend, he invites Stephani. She’s well-versed on the issues and castle protocol, and Raoul’s always been comfortable with her. But when Stephani arrives, Raoul hardly recognizes her. Is this stunning woman the same one who’s run his office for years?

I liked it with just a few reservations.
The main characters and supporting cast of people were good. The fact that the prince had a loving, 25 year first marriage was a refreshing change from some of the other stories out there. He was a man with a lot of responsibilities who faced things head-on and with courage and integrity. He was definitely blindsided when his eyes were finally opened to Stephani and how much a part of their lives she had become.
He was surrounded with people who loved and cared about him. They wanted him to move on and have a life. But he was stuck and then he began to waffle back and forth about his feelings for Stephani. Made me want to smack him right in the head even though I understood his difficulties.
Stephani, now there was a loving, caring woman. She was someone who was capable, humble but she still knew her own worth. And she may have been in love with Raoul for years but she did have a backbone. It was good to see her find it and act on it too.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
