Story Blurb
Mia Marcelli is a smart independent single mother to an
adorable four-year old son. She believes her child’s father - her one true love
has died four years ago when she was working undercover for CIA. So when one
morning she finds him on her bed alive she is confused. Her love re-introduces
himself as Rafael, Prince of Calandria who confesses to himself being under
false identity when he met Mia four years ago. Still apprehensive about the
whole truth, Mia is too stunned to find Rafael alive and all too well. She has
suffered from broken heart all these years and is not too ready to welcome
Rafael back into her life. But Rafael has an ulterior motive, he is back to
take his son, his heir to Calandria even if it means deceiving Mia into marrying
him. But when Mia finds about his deceit she is heartbroken but fiercely protective
about her son. She is supported by her extended family and all rally behind her
to prevent Mia’s son to be taken away by Rafael. Suddenly finding himself at
odds with the Marcelli family, Rafael is truly alone and finds himself truly
falling for Mia. He is torn between his royal duties and his heart’s desire and
must convince Mia about his love.
My Thoughts
The USP of the story is Mia’s independence and strong
personality. She was fearless at 18 when she broke her engagement without succumbing
to Marcelli family pressure (in The Sparkling One) and she is still strong in
present being a single mother and standing against her son’s father who heads a
foreign country. She is the most interesting Marcelli sister.
The only thing I don’t like about this story is that the end was too rushed. I didn’t feel that Rafael’s character was given enough time to convince Mia about his love. It was too rushed in the climax which I felt did not provide credibility to the story. Otherwise it is definitely a good afternoon read and a conclusion to Marcelli family. After reading the story I feel author should come up with Kelly’s story also who is step-daughter of Francesca (Mia’s elder sister). Let’s see if we see one in future. But otherwise I really liked reading about the Marcelli family and the journey of each Marcelli in finding their true love. Definitely a must read series.
