In SECRET CHILD, ROYAL SCANDAL by Cat Schield, Noelle has
zero time for
Christian. They had a fling, sure, and that fling
resulted in a child, but she has long ago decided that
her kid and her kid's father need have nothing to do with
each other.
Unfortunately for her, she's not really the only one with
a say in the matter, as Christian is a prince and her son
is heir to his throne. So despite her protestations, her
life of solitude she enjoyed for the first five or so
years of motherhood is over.
Fortunately for her, the playboy she was taken with has
matured, at least a little. He's determined to not only
have a relationship with his son, but to win back the
only woman who has ever really gotten under his skin.
Sure, it all starts with a need to bed her again, but as
he gets more honest with himself, he realizes he simply
can neither live or rule without her.
SECRET CHILD, ROYAL SCANDAL is a Harlequin Presents, y'all,
so we all know what
that means. It's charming and fluffy and full of tropes
that bring comfort and delight. There are no reinvetions
or subversions here, but sometimes you just want
structure, order, and a happily ever after. If you're in
the mood for that, plus you love either a royal-marrying-
a-commoner trope or a secret baby one, this is a great
book. I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Christian Alessandro lives life in the fast lane. But royal
duty calls, and the bachelor prince must settle down and
sire the future king of Sherdana. That's when a chance
encounter with former flame Noelle Dubone yields a bombshell
discovery: Christian's already a father! Marrying Noelle
will make his boy the legitimate heir. It's a rocky reunion.
The determined dressmaker refuses to fall in love—or in
bed!—with Christian again, even as old, intense feelings
return with a vengeance. But what the prince wants, the
prince gets…
