A pining prince needs: a second chance at love.
Prince Julius has only ever wanted one man. Raised alongside Prince Dante of Thedes, the two were inseparable until their unspoken mutual attraction ignited into a single passionate encounter. Convinced that it ruined their friendship, Julius retreated to his duties in Rosavia, where he daydreams of another chance to win Dante’s heart.
After four years apart, fate brings Prince Julius back to Thedes. He offers Dante a coveted invitation: return to the Rosavian palace for ten days, and be his plus-one to the Royal Ball of the century. Before long, they realize one night of passion wasn’t enough, and they can’t imagine losing each other again.
As the clock ticks down to the ball, Julius catches wind of Dante’s family meddling, and he must decide if their feelings are real or if they’ve both been played. Were they always meant for each other, or is it all an illusion that will melt away at midnight?
Welcome to the tiny European country of Rosavia, where roses ramble over alpine slopes and princes fall for the men of their dreams. Every Rosavia Royals book happens simultaneously, so books can be read on their own, or in any order… but keep an eye out for familiar faces around the palace!
REVIEW:
If you guys haven’t read this series yet, I will tell you again, you are missing out. Severely. This one broke my heart a lot. It’s a bit more angsty than the others so far, but it’s because it’s two best friends, hopelessly in love with the other, and neither knowing. It’s about lost loves and reuniting, reconnection and finally admitting who is the one.
Dante and Jules have been friends since birth. All the way through all their schooling, to the point that everyone thought they’d be together forever. But the last day of university, after a passionate moment, Jules walked out the door, thinking Dante didn’t want him, and Dante was dying from the urge to call him back to him. Never once forgetting each other, no one was ever enough for them. Now 4 years later, they meet again, and the chemistry is still electric. But the awkwardness of being apart so long, neither knows what to do. Especially in front of all the press. But they’ve missed each other so much, and maybe it’s finally time to clear the air. But will either have the nerve to say what they wanted to say all those years ago, or will they just stay friends?
This story was so good, but yeah, it’s going to get to you. When you read the angst between them, missing each other so much. Knowing for so long things could have been fixed with just a simple conversation. I think that’s what broke my heart the most for these two. For being such good friends, and talking and goofing around as much as they did, why could they never tell each other how they felt? But being the princes and in royalty, maybe that’s what made it harder. I don’t know. I just know I was so happy when they started figuring things out and really talking. But I think I felt for Dante more in this one. Not only has he been pining for Jules all along, but his father is making things impossible for him, to the point of going way too far, and almost costing Dante everything. But I loved these two. It was obvious to everyone how much they meant to each other for so long. Sometimes it takes a while for some to make the final connection, but when they do, it’s worth it.
I’ve loved all these books, but I will be honest. I can’t wait for these last two. I’m anxious to see how things are going to play out with Ben and what everyone has truly thought of him for so long. And of course, Wren. I love his personality. What a great series.
