Claimed by the prince
For Christmas or forever?
Sicilian chambermaid Antonietta prides herself on her discretion, so she’s mortified by her inappropriate reaction to her hotel’s newest guest! Antonietta has no idea Rafael is the notorious prince of Tulano. All she knows is that his touch lights her up more brightly than a Christmas tree.
Their unexpected connection floors cynical Rafe. All he can offer is a temporary festive seduction before resuming his royal duties. But unwrapping the precious gift of Antonietta’s virginity changes everything. Rafe must choose—his crown, or Antonietta.

My Rating: 4.5 stars
SECRET PRINCE’S CHRISTMAS SEDUCTION captured my attention from the first page, strongly enough that I searched for the connections between friends in this story and went to pick up THE SICILIAN’S SURPRISE LOVE CHILD (which is connected) before I even finished Rafe and Antonietta’s story.
Each has different family issues that affect their lives, and those issues do arise during their story. My heart broke for what Antonietta’s family put her through, in my opinion, she’s far better off without them anywhere near her now or in the future. Rafe may be a future King, yet his father has ironclad ideas about his son’s future and will cause no end of meddling before Antonietta and Rafe find their happy ending.
The chemistry sizzles between this couple yet to Rafe’s mind there can be no future only a temporary relationship – but loving someone can change minds and kingdoms. I enjoyed my time in this world very much and would not hesitate to recommend to any Romance reader who loves strong characters, a love worth fighting for and a very happy ever after.
*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
