The Bastard Prince (It’s Raining Royals) by Alix Nichols – Review by Lorrene Huisman

The Bastard Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved this concept of the book series, I had not read the previous but I most certainly will be going back to get what happened previously with the kingdom at stake! It was fascinating to read in more than ne way, there was intrigue, mystery, romance, how could I not be swept away in this novel?

I enjoyed the take on this story and the two main characters who get matched together basically for the royal adventure they partake in, were more than grand in one way! Sasha and Arnaud were two quite different souls at times, but needed one another more than one way, and, basically in more than one way meets the eye. I loved their chemistry and how their personalities matched! I felt for Arnaud in truth, I can relate in a different way, to being abandoned, and well in his case never knowing till know he was actually of royal blood. It would be a lot to take in! Sasha was wonderfully written as well, she has a health issue that was more complex than I thought at my first glance.

Together they must unravel a mystery than brings more than just a good future, if you will agree. Sometimes life brings people together for a different purpose at the time, but in the end, the true purpose can be revealed at the conclusion. Arnaud was at risk of losing his home, his kingdom. He needed help. And then we have Sasha, she needed a thing or person tp help her unravel the mystery. Winner winner chicken dinner! They needed each other to get what each wanted and to share in the same end result! Honestly this was an amazing team and I enjoyed reading till the very end. The pace was quick and easy to follow, I was very lost in the mystery of the key that could save the kingdom. As I said starting out result for the two of them joining together, may have an unexpected ending for both their hearts.

The writing was very well done. I enjoyed the mystery and the feelings of intrigue I received as I read though this wonderful novel. I was immersed greatly, and felt I was along the journey of the adventure at times with Arnaud and Sasha. I had a lot of fun reading this, and I will defiantly be reading the book(s) prior and most certainly future installments. Wonderful series, impressed me, and I highly recommend!
