A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is book 3 in a series, but reads well as a stand alone. If you like royal romances you will like this. It is a fun read. Not sure how the news got out that he had a daughter, when he didn't even know. Overall just an enjoyable read. 4 stars

The book information is what made me stop and want to read this book. It sounded like it could be pretty good. While I liked it, I can't really say that I felt like it met it's full potential.
This story had an unusual take on King Raphael. I have read stories of formal royalty but he was beyond the word "rigid." It was all rules and regulations to him and I found that a bit off putting. And of course, Felicity was the polar opposite of that. But look at how different their upbringings had to be.
Felicity is everyday American, someone who was a hard-worker, an out-going person who liked interacting with people and she was good at it. She is also just trying to survive while juggling responsibilities for her sister, Joy and daughter, Hope.
It was kind of hard to get into Raphael when he was so almost constipated with his worry over the Referendum. While it was important because it could mean the end of the Monarchy, it was really driving him too. What he failed to recognize as he tried to control everything is that Felicity was actually the breath of fresh air that they all needed.
There is plenty of emotional upheavals for both of the main characters. And I began to like Raphael more when I got to see just how divided his feelings are.
There is a H.E.A. for Raphael, Felicity and Hope, And while it didn't feel like there were any major surprises it was a pleasant story.

A sweet Leslie North story. I love this kind of story. A Queen who basically blackmailed the future king's girlfriend to leave when she was pregnant. When the new king found out about it, he immediately went to her. The little girl is so sweet. I love her reactions to things. Rafael quickly took to being a father and that was sweet to watch. I liked how the struggles of becoming royalty and how Rafael finally acknowledged it. Very good book

A story about a love story that was derailed by the Princes mother. Year after his mother’s death, the prince is now a king and it comes to light that he king has a daughter. Will the King bring his daughter home? Will his daughter be raised by both of her parents?

Enjoyed this story about love and second chances.

This book was probably my favorite of the series. I loved Raphael and Felicity's story. Isn't it amazing what a little communication could do? And the ending was just wonderful!

Rafael had to be careful.  He started getting what he asked for out of his relationship with Felicity, and decided it's not what he needs after all. I loved this, it was just like a Fairy Tale.

Another lovely light easy read from Leslie, full of lovely characters with great chemistry and always guaranteed a HEA or at least a HFN, great for a mood lifter.

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

This is a quick and enjoyable read with wonderful writing. Not much of a romance buff but I enjoyed this one very much.
