BOOK REVIEW- The Noble Heir (Princes of Valdoria Book 1) by Julia Keeanini


 He needs a queen. He wanted me...until I ran.

Prince Theo Kane has always known duty comes first. As crown prince of Valdoria, his priorities have been country and family above all. And that's always been easy for him--until duty and the queen demand that he find a wife. However, he already tried proposing to the one woman he really wants, but she left him behind.

Alex Turner, aka Princess Alexandra Torre, fought her way to the top of the world's most prestigious photography course. As long as no one figures out who she really is, her dream of being a photographer on Jacques Ledoux's renowned crew is within her grasp. Nothing is going to hold her back, including her pesky feelings for a certain swoon-worthy royal.

When Theo's and Alex's paths collide, old feelings are reignited...but those feelings have burned them. Fool him once, shame on her. Fool him twice?

The first book in the sweet and wholesome Princes of Valdoria series.  AMAZON 3 STARS


Yes, this book was sweet and wholesome but it was also a bit disappointing for me.  It just didn't  meet it's potential. Some of it felt easy to predict.  I had a hard time to connecting to this one.
Yes, I know  Theo has been raised to fulfill his responsibilities and his duty.  Still, after awhile I just began to feel like he was a wimp.  A handsome one but still so wishy -washy, it was hard to hold onto the original sympathy that I had for him.   But as the story comes towards the end he does find his backbone finally.

Alex was a very determined young lady who was actively pursuing her dream.  It wasn't an easy path trying to be known for her own skill and abilities aside from being a princess.  
There is a twist towards the end of the book that shows a woman that has ulterior motives for her attention to Theo.  We know as we read that she isn't what she appears to be but it takes a while for her to get outed.
Yes, there is a H.E.A. for Alex and Theo.  A little bit unusual at first but it does end up more traditional.
The End.
