BOOK REVIEW- Carrying the King's Pride (Kingdoms & Crowns Book 3412) by Jennifer Hayward




A marriage for the monarch 
One last New York night with Sofia Ramirez is all Prince Nikandros Constantinides allowed himself before returning to Akathinia, after a dreadful accident took his brother's life. But before the royal rebel is crowned, Nik discovers that he didn't leave Sofia behind alone!
In a baby's heartbeat, Nik turns Sofia's world upside down and whisks her away to his Mediterranean kingdom. Dissolving a politically perfect engagement is not what Nik—or his country—had in mind, but this proud prince will do whatever it takes to legitimize his new rule…with a wife and child!
AMAZON   3 STARS

This book had good main characters who were complex and had emotional baggage.  Those things were well demonstrated.   I guess truer words would be that they carried some pretty big wounds. Some of those came from family members some of whom were still in the middle of grief.  The struggle between the two of them was well done.  But there was also the countries threat coming from a different country.  That puts a huge weight on Nik who is now king.  Also for Sofia who is now in a different kind of culture trying to find here footing.  All the while being pregnant which really was addressed all that much as far as the physical part of being pregnant.
There is a good H.E.A. making this book fast, somewhat predictable but also enjoyable enough.
