I absolutely adore everything Harlequin Manga has put out recently and Royal's Child was no different. These mangas take no time at all to read and I highly recommend them.

I just can't seem to get enough of the romance mangas. Love them. Love the artwork and love that they are adapted from some truly excellent stories. This one is no exception. Beautiful. Romantic. Captivating. And pardon the similar reviews for all the books. I'm catching up and have loved all of them.

Book title : Royal's Child: a Harlequin Manga

Author : Sharon Sala ; Illustrator : Motoyo Fujiwara

Release Date : 16 September 2016

Angel makes an impulsive decision to leave the town because she fed up with her life, her job and her unsupportive family. She later regrets her decision when she's stranded out in the cold and has nowhere to go. A man also tries to approach her because he's thinking that she's a prostitute. That's when our handsome heroine appears riding his horse and his daughter. The hero's name is Royal and he would have to hear her daughter's plea asking Angel to stay with them. He later takes Angel to his estate. Angel is amazed by the size and splendour of Royal’s estate. Angel later ends up living in the mansion as Maddy's - Royal's daughter's nanny. She really likes it there as she feels that it is like home. Little did she knows that her past is coming and haunting her down.

I know that the ending of the story is predictable. It is not really easy also to understand this manga version. Well. they allow you to write longer in the novel version, while in manga, they have to shorten things up. Yet the manga is beautifully illustrated. It is okay tho for one to read during her/his pleasure time.

The title may be misleading. It has nothing to do with nobles or crowned heads. Royal is the hero's name, a widower father to a 6 years old who saves a young girl danegerously hitchhiking on the highway without realising she will save him and his daughter in the end… a heart-warming contemporary western romance to spend a pleasant evening with.

The party continues, welcome to the next Harlequin Manga! This time featuring a girl looking for a happy place/a job. I was quite curious about this estate, what dangers lurked, and how they would fall in love (because that is bound to happen).

Wow, dang, I can imagine she just quit her old job... I would have done the same if some old geezer constantly groped me. Eww.

Ehm, I wasn't sure how I felt about her begging him, though I can understand she is desperate, especially given the earlier page. I do love the little girl and how she was so sure that our MC is an angel that was meant/destined to come. :P Now I am curious about that story. And just a few pages later we find out a snippet of why the girl thought an angel would come to her. That is quite sweet. But I wonder if that is all to it or if there is more. *curious*

I am sorry, I can just laugh at the names of these people. The kid's name is Madeline Justice, our handsome strangers name is Royal Justice, and our MC's name is Angel Rojas.

Awwwww, shucks, that was so adorable, that she went to care for Royal's child so he could run off to make sure other parts of the house were fine during that big storm. Though I guess it also may have hurt his heart seeing her and Madeline lying together like that. That poor guy, having lost his wife. :(

Oh wow, that is magical that Maddie drew an angel who looks exactly like Angel, birthmark included. I guess it was destined for Angel to work (and thus fall in love with Royal) at the estate.

Go go Royal! I loved that he did that for Angel, that is so sweet. He immediately took action.

"That's right. I only hired her... because Maddie became attached to her.. right..?" :P
and this one: "What's wrong with me recently? Now that I think of it. I've begun to look at Angel all the time." Oh my! Yes!

Wow, tornadoes? Storms? It seems to be quite the dangerous place. I wonder how he noticed the tornado, it was in the night so he should have been asleep. Do they have some kind of alarmsystem?

Awkwarrrrrdddddd! They have to sleep together in the same room/bed after that tornado (though I really wonder why only that one room in that entire ESTATE was fine. Convenient for the plot I guess.), and at first it is OK because Maddie is there, but now without Maddie? Oh my!

Ah, that guy she met first is a serialkiller/rapist. Urgh. *shivers* I see the danger part of the story now. That guy seems to be following her wherever she goes. Probably not too happy that one of his prey left him.
Awww Royal, that is so sweet. "I'll always keep my family safe."

No, Angel, no. He is falling in love with you! You are allowed to fall in love with him as well! Yes! Confession! Though with the art it looks more like he is about to stab her and murder her. :| Really, that art is so distracting.
Awww, marriage! Yeah! They are now engaged! Though I have a feeling that we won't just get all the happy moments, not with that creepy dude still stalking around somewhere. But for now, in this moment I can smile and enjoy the happiness. I am so happy, and Maddie's excitement is adorable.

Yeeeeeeeeep, there we go. He magically leaves the house. Oh yes, we have a mister policeman nearby. HAHA, I guess you guys haven't read enough stories to know how this one will go. And yep! Here we go! It was a thrill to read these parts, but dang I was swooning when Royal swooped in like that! Eeeeeeeeep! *swoons*

Oh god, the tears. Oh God, the tearsssss. That revelation about who the lady was that Maddie saw! *cries* I am so so crying right now. Dang. I guess I could have seen it coming, but I totally didn't. Dang.

All in all, I LOVED this story, though I am rating it a bit lower as the art was at times pretty cringy.

An excellent manga romance with a frisson of the paranormal and a thrilling edge! Definitely a must for fans of manga romances.

Angel ditches her slimy boss with his groping hands and sets off to find work elsewhere. Finding herself stranded in the middle of nowhere she is quite relieved when she meets Roman Royal and his cute daughter Maddie. An overnight stay with Maddie and Royal morphs into a job offer and Angel is relieved to be able to put down some roots and have a job she loves, but drama, danger and love are just round the corner.

This is an excellent manga romance. It is book 3 in the Royal Brothers series. I enjoyed this so much that I now want to read the written version. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the artwork and it was a satisfying reading experience enhanced by the art and also by the way the story weaves in elements of danger and elements of the paranormal.
