BOOK REVIEW- The Heir (Billionaire Royals Book 1) by Sophia Summers

This Novella is the first of seven in the Billionaire Royal Series.

Nick Waters, otherwise known as Nico Valdez, Crown Prince of Torren, an island country off of Greece, is hiding out in Shady Lake South Carolina for the summer. His one task: no entanglements with other women. Lay low until the press in his country move on to other scandals. But when he meets Jo, he soon realizes she is an entanglement in the making. He gives up trying to resist her and determines to enjoy an enticing summer fling with a beautiful woman who keeps him grounded in ways no one else can.

When Nico gets called home for a family emergency, and Jo must stay to take care of her father and business, they realize how desolate their lives could be alone. AMAZON 3 STARS

Look for the following titles to be released soon: The Crown, The Duke, The Duke's Brother, The Spy

This was a charming, quick read with interesting main characters; although I didn't get pulled that deep into it.  More like a summer read.  There are some challenges in it of course but they do get worked out for now. I liked that they started out as friends.   The follow up book about Jo and Nick and their adventures is in the next book, " The Crown".

 Jo is a steady, loving woman who is also hardworking.  So hardworking that she has almost lost the fun loving side of her personality.  Her boyfriend Kevin isn't much help in that area either. He is so hardworking that he is kind of driven and  he pretty much stomps out that part of Jo's personality. Whether consciously or not, that is his affect; he's a snooze.   Being responsible is one thing but Jo quickly begins to wonder whether she really love him or not.  I say, dump the bum, there's no sizzle there. 
Nick has a bit of the opposite problem of being way too much into fun that it gets him into trouble.  He doesn't chuck all of his responsibilities but he's been followed around by the paparazzi and they have snapped some uncomfortable pictures that have him now trying to lay low.  His friend and assistant Julian has his back and adds to the story.  Julian also has a romance brewing with Jo's best friend Sierra which is something we just get a peek into.   I wonder if they will get their own story?   
My final words on this book is that it was sweet, clean and probably would be well suited to a younger audience.
