REVIEW:
I am really enjoying a lot of Pelaam’s work and if you haven’t read her stuff, you really need to. While everything may not be to your liking, she writes a little bit of everything and it’s so good. I loved this one as well. Good vs. evil. Light vs. dark. And love that has a way of triumphing over all.
Bertie was excited when his father announced they were up to get the contract for silk for their store. Being a tailor and designer, he would love to get his hands on the materials and to design the best he possibly could. But his father and a servant and friend was attacked, leaving his father unable to travel to Japan. Bertie was not going to give up and went in his father’s stead. But the opposition seems to be determined to make sure Bertie does not arrive with his designs and clothes. While attacks on them continue, they are determined to get to the palace. And do. When Bertie meets Ichi, he has no idea it’s the Prince himself and the chemistry is causing a relationship between them. But they have to be careful. Ichirou could be destroyed and Bertie banned. And it doesn’t help that evil is after Ichirou, doing all it can to destroy everything. And Bertie knows he has to do all he can to protect the Prince, even if it means giving up the contract.
This is a really sweet romantic story. The illusive prince, who isn’t supposed to be seen without escorts. The friends and those loyal conspiring to make sure they get together lol. There’s one character in here I particularly love so much and when you read it, I think you will find out real quick who it is and why they are so beloved. By all. It reminds of the prince and the pauper story almost. The prince and the ‘lowly’ department store worker who are falling in love but their stations hold them apart. It’s like a fairy tale and a romance all in one and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters, the good ones, are just amazing. A family of ‘misfits’, friends, who are loyal to the death. The bad ones are annoying, but you need some drama to make an even better story lol. But even those are written in well. I was just ready for something to happen to them.
I really think you guys would enjoy this and I hope you give it a shot. It’s really good.
