A Valiant Prince by SE Rose is another beautifully written Romantic Suspense romance in Poisoned Pawn series and it's really good. A Page turning read even.

Love the series and Highly recommend it to all.

Some princes are born into royalty. And some princes are made into royalty. Logan Winters just discovered that he’s a prince, a prince that someone wants dead. When Princess Susanna came waltzing into his world, she took his breath away with her beauty and charm and also with the truth about his life. Now they are racing against time to find out who wants to kill him. Will they be able to stop a killer? Or will their discovery bring down not one throne but two?

Unaware at the time that it was a sequel.

It is important to note that this one book is a sequel, not a standalone, and it drops you right where the other one left off, with no preamble. I think it will be interesting for those who read the first book, to see what happened. That said, I would have preferred to read the whole story in one book, to keep my interest up.

Chamring writing and fast pace. I totally recommend this book to fans of the genre. I loved the twists and TURNS. I recommend it.

I had a problem with this from the beginning, although part of the problem could be that I wasn’t aware that it was a sequel. DNF
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I hadn’t realized that this was a sequel when I had requested it which may have been the cause of my confusion, however there was a large amount of characters that made it difficult to keep up.

I really enjoyed this duet and would definitely recommend it for the Romance readers out there. I am now off to see what else this author has written.

I made the mistake of not reading book 1, A Fierce Princess so I was at a disadvantage.
Nevertheless, there were a lot of characters and the plot seemed to be all over the place.

I loved Logan/ Eddie in the first book but reading the second in his POV made me love him even more. Logan had so many earth shattering changes in what he believed was his reality it was amazing he kept his composure so well and the way he treated and loved Anna was amazing.i was relieved when they finally discovered whodunnit.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Author Collective 20 for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the 2nd part of the story. There is no introduction to remind you of what happened. I think it would read better if you have read part 1. I had not. I did enjoy the book once I figured out a few things. It's cute, and fun, has drama and suspense. Entertaining and interesting. Anna was a bit dumb at the end and really out of character. Overall a good read 4 stars.

A suspenseful little fairy tale that kept me captivated till the end.

Part two of this duet is told from Logan’s POV. Now that everyone is aware of the dangers they face and the truth of his parentage has been confirmed. Logan is Faves with finding his place amongst the world of royals as well as his place by the side of the princess who’s risked her life to save a stranger.

The suspense only grew in this conclusion to their story especially now that Princess Susanna has uncovered the deep levels of betrayal that started it all.

This duet had my heart racing from start to finish.

3.75 stars

I loved book 1 A Fierce Princess and was looking forward to A Valiant Prince, here's my review.

Book 1 is told from Anna's POV, and book 2 is from Logan's but somehow it didn't flow as easily for me as Anna's book.

The storyline picks up from where it ended in book 1 and yep it was a bit of a cliffy. This part had a lot going on, lots of characters to keep track of, especially if you were trying to figure out who the bad person was! Intermingled with that was Logan and Anna's relationship, which jumped from fun and flirty on a yacht to pretty serious very quickly, maybe a tad too quickly for me, but that's how the events in the story through them. They are good together though, but could do with going on a few more fun dates as tough as that is as a royal!

Part of backstory puzzled me, how did they not recognize each other as Suzie and Eddie, we all change as we grow but some characteristics stay the same.

So yes I had a couple of issues with the conclusion of this story BUT it was still made me turn pages to find out who did it and how the lovebirds end up.

I would be interested to see if the author decided to write one or both of the brother's love story.

I really enjoyed this a great follow up to the first book, which ended on a cliffhanger so I was so happy to receive his arc. This resolved the unanswered questions from the first book and leaves is with a HEA by the end, it’s a great story, I love Logan and Anna, but I felt sometimes it was over explainedand the reader was told rather than experienced the story themselves and some scenes were just awakened. I think if this were improved it would be even better

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Unrealistic and poor grammar. That's what this book is. The smut scenes are cringe worthy-and not in a good way. The consistent use of "says/said" as opposed to using a thesaurus for different verbs in the dialogue gave the writing a stale vibe. There were surpluses of grammar issues. I found myself skimming sentences and just going through the motions of reading this book.

A Valiant Prince takes place directly after the first book. Anna, Logan and the rest of the royal family are left reeling after a bomb detonates in the palace. As they try to recover from injuries, they must also gather the pieces of who is responsible. Interpol and another intelligence agency are loosely involved with the investigation. Anna is made to be a better hacker/intelligence investigator behind the responsible party than a federal agency. Logan just fumbles through his mother's long set aside documents, sees a picture, and puts details together. All the children are spread apart and supposed to be in hiding, but Anna and Logan choose to make a vacation out of it and go to the store and Niagra Falls...major tourist area...and if they're royal wouldn't somebody at least recognize Anna??? If you're in hiding, you wouldn't go to largely photographed areas because your picture could easily be found...
Also, do all these people do anything but nap? Every time they got in the car, napping!
And of course at the end Lara just happens to wake up...(insert eye roll)

The summary of the book sounds great, but don't be fooled. Once you read the first chapter you will discover how wrong you were.

I genuinely did not like reading this book.

If you´ve been following along you know that A Fierce Princess (part one) left us in a major cliffhanger. A Valiant Prince picks up right where Princess left off. This one is in Logan´s POV and it is just as amazing if not more than Part 1. Logan and Anna´s relationship grows stronger in this part even while their lives fall apart around them. There are so many twists and turns added to the mystery of who is after the royal families that it will keep you guessing. Trust me. I didn´t expect what happened but I´m glad it did. I couldn´t put this book down. I hope there will be more books in this universe because I fell in love with the characters both main and secondary and don´t want to let them go. I highly recommend this duet and will be keeping a close eye on what SE Rose gives us next.

Explosive beginning. I liked that . But I did find it a bit overwhelming at first because of all of the people thrown at me in the beginning.
The story is told mainly from Logan's point of view for those who would like to know. I found this book hard to settle on a rating because it caused mixed feelings about for me.
I liked both of the main characters and how there are SO many secrets. Not only are there a lot of secrets there is also a LOT of sexual scenes as well. I wish the author had dialed that back a bit.
The family relationships were good and even some of the relationships with the bodyguards added to the story.
Who can you trust becomes a major issue very early on and with good reason.
The story felt like it slowed down for a while but then it does start back up and begins to really take off. When I say it took off, I mean it had some really good twists coming our way. Mysteries are exposed, followed by a H.E.A. and a welcome Epilogue.
What a great cover for the book, right?

“I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

I'm going to leave a scathing review and i'm going to apologize for it.

The blurb was promising, the story was not.



It had so much potential, but i felt it went down the drain with awful writing and plotline.



Every action was described and nothing was left untouched, and there were way too many dialogues.



Alright, maybe the amount of dialogue was fine, however the content was so, so dry. And as well, i felt that too much "he said" and "she said" and similar words of different variations were used. Understandably, yes, it's dialogue, however, the repetition of these verbs makes the writing seem very unnatural.



There are more "telling" than "showing" in here.



Additionally, there were some really awkward lines as well. But, i'm just going to share one.



Exhibit A:Your father, the king, is fine.



The character would know who their father is, and what he does. There wasn't a need to state "the king". The only circumstance why i can think of that makes that excusable is that the doctor is trying to re-affirm himself. Even then, what for?



Frankly, I felt the book was a let down since page one. This boiled down to personal preference, and is especially personal as the prologue was written from the first POV of a child...and I disliked it. It felt like an indication the story wasn't going to be a trip i'm glad i'm going on. Certain lines from this chapter contains vocabulary that a child likely wouldn't use, which results in it coming off a bit bizarre. If it had been told from a third POV, it would've been quite nice.



The smut scenes were quite odd as well, off-putting if you will. Every movement was greatly exaggerated, dicks of steel, explosions, nipple pinch orgasms, i found it rather hilarious. This sort of sexy smut is not up my alley. But hey, if you like it, you do you. And also, you might like this book!



2.5. I'd give it a 1 but i liked the cover and the sexy scenes.

Really liked the book, Overall it was perfect !!! I liked the plot and the characters especially the chemistry between the two romantic characters. Highly recommend it to read.

I absolutely did not realize this was a sequel, but after I had already received the book, I knew I wanted to see if I could read this without reading the first part, since a lot of romance-y novels don't require you to do so. Unfortunately, for me, there were too many people to keep track of and important story-lines I missed in the first one. I will definitely read the first in this series and come back to this! The story was really interesting and I thought it was fun, I just didn't know what created all of this!

A Valiant Prince had a lot to live up to after reading A Fierce Princess! I was desperate for the conclusion of Susanna and Logan’s story, as they seemed destined for tragedy. I was not disappointed; book two was everything I hoped for and more.

Susanna’s bravery and persistence is nothing short of admirable. I’m convinced Susanna could slay dragons if she put her mind to it! A damsel in distress she is not, despite the fact she is clearly in peril.

Logan is valiant and caring and practically perfect in every way. Despite being thrust into life-threatening danger, he handles each situation with nerves of steel. He is a rock of fortitude.

The plot is angst ridden and suspenseful. I read until my eyes went blurry and I could read no more. I was positively mesmerized. I needed the conclusion, yet I never wanted the book to end.

This Poisoned Pawn duet was my first introduction to SE Rose’s writing. It was absolutely phenomenal. I have already begun pestering my friends to read this outstanding duet!
