A Cinderella Love Story (Billionaires and Brides Book 3)

started the book, went a few chapter into it, hoping that it would get better, but it did not. i could not feel the chemistry, did not like the explicit sex, the characters not believable, could not finished the book

Moderately sweet romance, though the writing style was odd. Every other chapter or so, was simply called Sabrina, the next one, Marco. Nothing odd about that, except the whole thing was written in third person. Just...odd.
Also, many typos, and sentences that have the same word two or three times in a row; many mistakes like that.
It really seemed to me, to drag along at a snails pace, very little action, very few conversations, and very heavy on the narratives. I found myself skimming virtually all of that, just watching for an actual conversation to appear.
It really needs an editor.
The second story was much more enjoyable, though still mistake riddled. It did seem to flow a little better, and move along a little faster.
Both could have been great, as they are, neither really made it.

Sabrina Wise, a hard working, trailer park inhabitant aspiring to earn enough money for college. She is smart, talented, hardworking, and gorgeous. A true Cinderella.
Prince Marco of Orsino, in the United States on holiday before returning home to ascend the throne so his ailing father can retire. Marco, is the only child of the King who remarried a mean spirited woman with no love for Marco. Status is everything. That is why Sabrina is to know nothing about him. He wants to have a wonderful vacation before accepting his responsibilities. He is handsome and kind.
This is a true fairy tale/love story. The characters were realistic and believable. Even the queen was totally believable. The King was wonderful and you understood how Marco grew up to be so thoughtful and kind.
Enough. No spoilers. This is a must read romance. You smile and beam with approval at the ending.

I received no remuneration for this review.
The opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
Krista Lakes, you are amazing!!

Yours Royally by Krista Lakes is an sweet romance. I enjoyed reading it a lot. It's Marco and Sabrina's story. I didn't like the fact that Marco had to keep his true identity from Sabrina but the reasoning behind it is understandable. I enjoyed their characters a lot. They were both believable and very likable. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series and looking into the author's other books as well.

Sabrina wants to go to college to better her life. She grew up in the not so good part of town but her life wasn't bad. Her parents were always there for her and she knew she was loved. She knows that money isn't the answer to everything but she would also like to make something of herself. When she sees an add for a personal assistant that will pay enough for her education she jumps at the chance to apply. She doesn't think she will be hired but it never hurts to try. When she goes for the interview she thinks she may have failed miserably and is surprised to find out she is hired. When she and Marco begin to spend time together she falls for him pretty quickly. Which is weird since she really doesn't know anything about him. Will she still be in love with him once his true identity comes to light? Or will it be too much for her to handle?

Marco has a lot on his shoulders. He is a royal and the next in line for the throne. He may be king sooner than he'd like due to his father's condition. He takes a vacation in America to enjoy himself and get some relaxation before he has to take on more responsibilities. Once there he must hire a personal assistant to help him out. They need to be willing to travel with him and be his right hand man. They also must not know who he is so that they don't try to alert the paparazzi at every step. He hires Sabrina and soon realizes that she is a good fit for more than being his personal assistant. He is falling for her. She is smart, kind, sweet, and everything he has ever wanted in a woman. She would make the perfect queen. But he knows he has been keeping his true identify from her and he isn't sure how she will react once he tells her. He also knows that they will face when they get back to the island if she agrees to be his wife. Will he be able to convince her that they are meant to be? Or will he end up losing her in the end?

Yours Royally is predictable at times but most romances are. There were a couple of twists along the way that I didn't see coming too. I liked most of the secondary characters as well. I didn't like Marco's step-mother at all. She was a vapid and shallow character. I liked Marco because he was an all around good guy. He didn't care what others thought about Sabrina because he knew she was perfect for him. I liked Sabrina because she had was a well rounded person and knew what she wanted. She was pretty flexible and hardworking like her parents taught her to be. I would highly recommend Yours Royally to lovers of romances with handsome princes that sweep you off your feet.

WOW! Yours Royally: A Cinderella Love Story is the best Cinderella story I have read in a very long time, well at least since I read book 2 in Krista Lakes’ Billionaires and Brides series. Honestly, it has been quite some time since a story grasped my attention in such a way that I just didn’t want to put the book down, and Ms. Lakes definitely attained that for me here. This romance was absolutely all I was hoping it would be from the charming prince to the sweet heroine.

Despite Sabrina growing up in a very poor home, she was always surrounded by love from her parents as well as her Aunty Faye. But when the opportunity presents itself to earn enough money to go to college and finally be able to help her family, she jumps at the chance to be hired on as Marco’s personal assistant. Marco is looking for an escape from the burdens of his life as Prince of Orsino and decides to take an extended vacation in the States. Striving to keep his identity a secret so as not to alert the paparazzi to his presence, he insists that Sabrina not know who he really is. From the moment they meet, they can both sense the flowing current of allure between them and with their constant companionship that attraction quickly grows. Unsure how the other feels, they both decide to keep their feelings to themselves as Marco is uncertain if his feelings are reciprocated, and Sabrina is also equally unsure if she is simply a temporary object for his “billionaire playboy” affections. Also adding to her feelings of doubt is the fact that she knows he is keeping secrets from her. But when Marco decides to turn his vacation into a romantic holiday, they finally reveal their true feelings to each other. But will their fairytale love be thwarted by Marco’s angry stepmother or will they find the happily-ever-after they both deserve?

I fell completely in love with Sabrina and Marco as well as all of the support characters…well except for the evil stepmother (LOL). The electrifying chemistry shared between Sabrina and Marco was absolutely captivating. From the moment they met, I could almost feel my heart flutter with the hope and anticipation of the love they would eventually find together. Krista Lakes provided so much detail and background of all of the characters in this story that I truly felt I really knew them well. I enjoyed this novel so much that at the turn of the final page I was ready to go back to the beginning and read it again. Yours Royally was exactly what you would want from a Cinderella romance: enchanting and delightful.

Classic Cinderella story.

Marco is a prince looking for an assistant to help him stay 'undercover' and hidden from the paparrazi as he takes a trip to America before buckling down to help his ailing father rule their kingdom. Sabrina is a girl from the wrong side Memphis, working hard, but getting no where and still living in her parents' run down trailer. She has a great affection for her parents who are both kind and hardworking, but they just haven't had a lot of lucky breaks in life and Sabrina wants to go to college to be able to get a good job so that she can take care of them.

Sabrina applies to be an assistant to a mystery man and she is hired on the spot. She's a hard worker, she's not a celebrity/royalty stalker and has no clue who Marco really is and Marco feels an instant, genuine connection with her. They travel to New York and eventually Hawaii together and gradually their friendship/boss/employee relationship grows into a deep love. It's quick, but they both believe it's the real deal and when the time comes for Marco to head home for a royal ball, to be held before his father's surgery, Sabrina goes with him.

Of course, what would a Cinderella story be without a wicked stepmother and she's a real peach in this case...eager to humiliate Sabrina and keep Marco from marrying the commoner. But alas, the step-mother is defeated in the end and true love overcomes all obstacles.

This fairy tale comes complete with a handsome Prince, a hard working commoner, evil stepmother, kind King and naturally a very happily ever after. It's very sweet, a little bit sexy and well written. A light hearted, feel-good read.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Sabrina worked hard saving all her money for college and trying to help her parents. Her parents were struggling financially and she wanted to go to college and get a degree to help them. She came across a for a add as a assistant and the pay she couldn't pass up. It would be enough to pay for her college and enough left over for other stuff.

Marco was in the United States for a three month vacation. He needed a assistant to hide behind to protect his true identity. He nnede to his behind the name to protect his identy as a prince. This was his last break before he took his place at the throne. His father was ill and this was his only chance to see the country. After interviewing many he came across Sabrina. She had qulaitites he liked. She was honest, caring, smart, good humor, and beautiful. He wants to get to know her more then a assistant.

Within a short few weeks they were getting to know each other and falling in love. They had this amazing chemistry that neither could fight. Marco didn't know the challenges he would face when he had to return home early because if his father health.

There were rules and obstacles he had to face from the rules of royalty and commoners. His step mother tried her hardest to ruin the love he had for Sabrina. An enexpected twisted and bloodlines wee just a few things they were dealing with. I was rooting for SABRINA AND MARCO with wanted to reach in and slap the step mother. This was another great book froom Krista Lakes.

Sabrina is a hardworking girl from Memphis, TN who accepts a job as a traveling assistant to an unknown man that goes by the name of Marco. They have instant chemistry even though she knows nothing about him. They travel to New York where they cross the Employer/employee line in many ways. Then they are on to Hawaii when Marco decides to cut his trip short due to family circumstances back home. While in Hawaii they tell each other about the feelings they have for one another. Marco decides it's time for Sabrina to know who he really is, so he spills the beans and tells her he's a Prince and soon to be King. Of course Sabrina is a little overwhelmed with the new information but takes it in stride. He then asks her to move to his home island with him and she agrees.

Her first day on the island was not a good one. Marcos stepmother is a doozy and completely embarrasses Sabrina in front of an entire room of people. She disappears for two days to recoup where she learns new info that was completely unexpected. She decides to go back much to Marcos relief. They have a beautiful wedding and live happily ever after.

This is a classic Cinderella with a little twist. I didn't expect the evil stepmother to be the Prince's, but boy was she a doozy. There was also a twist at the end that I didn't see coming at all! Very surprised. The overall story was wonderful and I loved all of the characters, with the exception of the stepmother. I highly recommend this book, and any others by this author, to anyone wanting a good quick love story with a HEA. I've read several of her books and they're all wonderful.

I gave this book four stars only because there were a few details that would change throughout the book or be repeated. Nothing major, some people may not even really notice. There are some editing errors but I didn't take those into account due to reading this book before it was edited.

He finally tells Sabrina the truth and asks her to go home with him. He has had to cut his trip shirt because of his fAther's health. Marco doesn't realize there were rules and obstacles involving royalty and commoners. his step mother tried her best to ruin what Marco has with Sabrina. Sabrina aunt Faye shows up to save the day. you will have to read the book to find out what happens. I was hooked from the firstpage. it was a wonderful book. I hope there is another book about their life.

Yours Royally is a sweet and cuddly romance with a few spicy bits. It’s a modern day spin on the Cinderella story minus the wicked step-sisters.
Hard-working and down to earth Sabrina Wise interviews for the job of a lifetime. It’s a 3-month long position serving as personal assistant to a traveling foreigner. The job pays well enough to fund Sabrina’s dream of attending college. Obviously, she’s beyond excited to make the most of the opportunity. The only problem… she has no clue who she’s really working for. The handsome and secretive Marco is vacationing in the U.S. and requires an assistant for the length of his stay. Sabrina fits his needs perfectly….in more ways than one.
What I liked about this book: Sabrina, the heroine is genuine, hard-working, and comes from humble beginnings. She’s very likable and genuine.
Marco, the hero is handsome, sweet, and giving.
The chemistry between these two is great. They have fun together and genuinely like each other.
The book is funny. There’s humor throughout.
Overall, this is a funny, sweet, romantic read. My only complaint would be that certain aspects of the story wrapped up a little too neatly. It was a little OTT. Other than that, I’d recommend this book to readers who enjoy sweet, low-angst, humorous romances.
I rate it: 4 Stars

** Advance reader copy provided by author**

Sabrina is a down to earth girl raised by hardworking parents. They gave her everything they could to make her life the best to their ability. She is a kindhearted woman that dreams of college and sees a job opportunity as her first step to her goal. She applies for a job as an assistant for a man whose identity is left unknown. She signs an agreement that she cannot look up Marco (Prince of Orsino) online or social media. She knows that he is an important person, but she does not know how important. He treats her like a princess from the first moment and it takes her breath away. They travel to New York and Hawaii and spends every minute together. They both realize that they have fallen for each other and it is time to come clean on some secrets.
Marco tells Sabrina his secret and they decide to go back to his home country and try out their relationship. She is unsure if her "commoner" status will hurt Marco's stance with his country. They have a few hurdles to jump through while they are in Orsino, but their love is strong. I enjoyed the twist in the middle of the book (I figured out part of it but not all). I also liked the change up with the evil step-mother being the Queen and not Sabrina's mother. Her parents and Aunt Faye are very down to earth characters too.
I know you will definitely enjoy this story and the way these two characters fall in love.

"I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book"

I love Ms. Lakes. She puts so much emotion in her writing and it comes out in her characters. Marco and Sabrina are no exceptions to that rule. Once they got past the awkwardness in the beginning of the book, it took off.

Sabrina wears her heart on her sleeve and is unapologetic to her upbringing and her emotions. She knows who she is and what she wants out of life. Marco, on the other hand, seems a bit embarrassed by his upbringing in the sense that he doesn't get along with his stepmother. Who, by the way, is a royal PIA and knows it. I felt sorry for Carlo, Marco's dad in the end but it was the only way for her to go.

I love a good royals story and this had me from the first page. It's not too heavy-handed in the ins and outs of being a royal. It was a truly romantic story between two people which one of them is actually going to be king someday. Ms. Lakes also doesn't overdue it on the smexy times either. Sensual, without being too graphic. Emotional, without the grittiness.

Overall, this is another great book by Ms. Lakes. The twist that she brought in at the end was awesome and added so much depth to their romance.

Don't hesitate to pick this one up.

This novel is royally sweet. We got the Prince, Cinderella, evil stepmother and the fairy god-mother. The beginning of the book was interesting. Sabrina is poor who live in a trailer park and a prince with huge identity secret. I liked how the evil step-mother kept the book interesting but died out at the end. There were some twist and turns but it lacked more depth in the plot. The evil step-mother was well written but needed a better conclusion to her character as she was a huge part in the book.

I really like Prince Marco and King Carlo. While the evil step-mother has a lot of power, she has no control over the strong bond between father and son. He raised a good prince who’s sweet and loving.

I did enjoy this book. Who wouldn’t want to be lost in a Cinderella story and be swept off by Prince Marco? Easy, light and charming read.

Sabrina was offered a job working for a mystery celebrity as his assistant and maid. She didn't know who Prince Marco was which really helped her get the job. Sabrina hopes to make enough money to pay for college. Her parents are hard working but down on their luck. She lives in a run down trailer and is thrilled to get to travel. She and mystery Marco quickly fall in love. Marco's dad the king is facing surgery to remove a lung tumor. Marco must return home but can he convince Sabrina to go with. Great fairytale story that we've all dreamed of with a hea. I really love all of Krista's books!!

Such a sweet and enjoyable read! This book really was a fairy tale and was a lovely little escape from reality. Yes, you have to suspend belief a little bit, but part of the fun is knowing that it's a little unrealistic. Sabrina is desperate to save money for college when she lands her dream job: act as a traveling assistant for a mysterious, wealthy foreigner. The job quickly turns into more, and Sabrina and Marco start falling for each other. Eventually, Marco asks her to come back to his home country with him. But there is one twist that Sabrina never sees coming...he's a prince!

I loved watching Sabrina and Marco's relationship develop. They really love and admire each other, which I really appreciated. There was some drama throughout, but overall it was a sweet and happy read. Looking forward to the next Billionaires and Brides book!

This is the Story of Prince Marco and Sabrina from Memphis. Sabrina is a sweet southern girl whom is a handwork and comes from a family that has struggled to pay bills her whole life. Her goal in life is to find a job that can help her save enough money so that she can finally go to College and better herself so that in the future she can help her parents out. The job of a life time falls into her lap and for just working three months for an important person she would have more then enough money to complete her dreams. Let did she know that by taking this dream job her life will change for the better and she will have new dreams as long as the evil step mom does not ruin them! Krista does it again! I highly recommend this book and the other two in the series! At some point in most of our lives we have dream of this happening to ourselves :)

A modern day Cinderella but with the wicked step mother on the Prince's side? Sabrina is hired to be an assistant to a man on a three month tour of the United States. He needs to be anonymous so she will have to do everything necessary to keep his privacy, including cleaning his room personally.

Sabrina is trying to come up with the money to pay college tuition so she can get a better job to help her mom & dad out. This job offers her a chance to make more money in three months than she makes in an entire year. She has no idea who the man is other than he's nice looking.

This is truly a modern take on the Cinderella story. The characters engage the readers emotions & the twists in the plot keep you reading. This story relates to the fantasy of meeting someone rich who whisks you away from their lives. A very enjoyable read.

Sabrina’s comes from a financially chanllenged family so she applies for a job as an assistant as the pay for three months is enough to pay for her college with a little left over and the only catch is she could not look up her employer and needed to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Prince Marco is taking a vacation before he must take the throne due to his father’s illness. He was immediately attracted to her and as they spent time together they grew closer. When his vacation is cut short he doesn’t want to leave Sabrina behind so he brings her with him. Will they be able to overcome the objections of his family and the country so that they may have their happy ever after? Krista Lakes never fails to create a great storyline with great characters.

This book has sweetness written all over it. I mean who wouldn't want to get a job as a traveling Personal Assistant to super gorgeous sweet man. He wines and dines her while getting to know her better. I absolutely love Marco and Sabrina! Sabrina is a down home sweet southern girl who. only wants to do good and help her parents out. She has high ambitions but that changes once she gets to know Marco better. Feelings are strong and so is the trust, which they need. Marco is under some stress and needs to get away. He wants to experience life and see new places. Things have a way of changing and they have to battle evil. Think Cinderella when reading this book. It's every girls dream to grow up, marry a prince and live happily ever after. I absolutely loved reading this book!

Sabrina just wanted to earn enough money to go to college. She applied for a job as a traveling personal assistant / maid to an unknown man. One that she really wanted! Not only so she could take a trip she would never be able to afford herself, but she would be paid enough for to pay for college and help her parents out of debt from medical bills. She had to go though a strange interview process but in the end it was worth it she was offered the job and she was beyond thrilled! Now she was employed by Marco (not telling who he really is...I hate spoilers) They went out on an adventure of see some of the sights around the US. There is a few twist in this book you never see coming and it keeps you on your toes! I love Aunt Faye!

Sabrina applied for and got the job as his personal assistant for the summer and has no idea he is a prince. As they get to know each their feelings grow and they fall in love and only then does Marco tell Sabrina who he is and he takes her home to the island of Orsino to meet his father and step mother where he proposes to her. There are some obstacles that stand in their way of getting married and a few twists and surprises that happen at the end. This is a fairytale come true! I highly recommend reading this story, it is so charming and romantic. Thanks Krista for another wonderful, fun book!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book. What a way to find your Prince Charming! Modern day fairy tale with some drama thrown in. Won't give that away. This is the third book in the series. Sabrina is so sweet and innocent. She's had it rough. I think that does make people humble and sometimes feel not deserving, but she takes it in stride and does her best as Marcos' PA. It is sweet how they are comfortable with each other and slowly build their relationship and end up in love.I can see why Marco would want a break and find someone who loves him for himself and not his status as a Prince. I was happy she found someone to love and started having a life she deserved. Worth a read.

Yours Royally is the third installment in Krista Lakes' Billionaires and Brides series. This charming, enjoyable read stars Prince Marco of Orsino and the lovely Sabrina. Marco wanted a vacation where he didn't have to worry about being a prince and Sabrina needed a well-paying job to achieve her dream of going to college with the hopes of giving her and her parents a better life. What she doesn't know is that she got that and so much more when she was hired to be Marco's personal assistant. The intimate scenes in the book were spicy, but not vulgar. The book had a great pace and the characters were truly enjoyable to read about.
Yours Royally is one of my favorite books by Krista Lakes.

Another great book by a talented author. Krista Lakes did not disappoint with Yours Royally. This is the third book in this series. It was a sweet, inspiring, and beautiful written story. Sabrina a hard working girl from a small town who has big aspirations. Marco is a royal prince who is tired of the same routine in his life and wants to get a way and obtain a new identity for a few weeks. But he doesn't count on this small town girl who he hired to be his PA to get to him first as friends and then to them falling in love. If you are looking for a fairy tale story and a HEA then you should read this book you will enjoy it. I voluntarily read and advance readers copy of this book.

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily chose to leave this unbiased review.

To be honest, I wasn't sure whether I was going to like this book. I thought that I had had enough of the feel-good romance stories. However, Krista Lakes let me know that I had not. I could not put this book down once I started reading. Marco and Sabrina are both characters that you can relate and the chemistry is very well-written - it basically jumps right off the page; you can feel it as if you are living it. If you're looking for a good read, this is definitely one that you need to get...even if you aren't into fairy-tale/romance/love stories. Trust me, you will regret it!

Another great "fairy tale" romance by Krista Lakes. A wonderful feel good story. Who doesn't love a fairy tale when they live happily ever after!
Sabrina is a poor girl from Memphis trying to earn money to go to college. She is hired as a personal assistant for Prince Marco but has no idea who he is. They have instant chemistry and after a few weeks of traveling he tells her who he is. He invites her to come home with him much to the dismay of his stepmother. And Sabrina and Marco must overcome some major obstacles.
You will fall in love with both of the characters and root for a happy ending. I loved the unexpected plot lines at the end !! Great book Krista!

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. Krista Lakes uses strong characters and great story lines for her work. I have had the opportunity to read several of her works now and she is just great. I can't put her work down once I start reading it. They are always page turners. You will love reading Marco and Sabrina's story. Marco is a Prince trying to take a break from everything and everyone who knows him. Sabrina has been hired as Marcos personal assistant while in America. Things get more heated between them then expected.

I voluntarily reviewed this arc of this book!

This story from Krista Lakes was more than I expected it to be. Sabrina applied to be an assistant to a important person "Marco" whom she thought was a model or an athlete or something like that. Sabrina had no idea he really was. She ended up getting the job, also the job is being Marco's travel companion, and it pays enough in three months to pay for 4 years of college. Her job is to use her name to reserve hotels and cars. They end up being more than travel companions, she finds out he is Prince Marco of Morovio. Things end up getting hot and heated between them. Great book!!

Excellent contemporary romance where royalty & commoner fight for love. Marco needed a vacation from all the stresses of his life. Sabrina is desperately trying to make a better life for her parents and herself. They meet and get along well but there's someone who will try to destroy their budding relationship. I enjoy the way Ms. Lakes gives us plenty of information as to how and why the main characters act and feel the way they do. Similar to a Cinderella story yet it has twists and turns to keep the reader interested. It is a stand-alone with a HEA. I received a complimentary copy of this book and chose to write a review.

I voluntarily read this ARC book and choose to leave a review. I fell into a dreamland where anything feels possible. All the too good to be true possibilities just happen to be within your grasp.
Sabrina, a hard working girl, who strives for college and giving her mom and dad a better future, desperately hoping to get the job as a personal assistant to a mystery man. Marco, the mystery man, needing a replacement personal assistant, knows instantly that she's the right person. So begins Marco's traveling vacation. Enlightened with the news she'll be traveling for the job excites Sabrina. Both Marco and Sabrina will get to go places they've never been. Of course, Sabrina has no idea who Marco really is and making sure to avoid paparazzi is an altogether new experience. It doesn't take long for them to admit feelings for each other and embrace it. Then Marco gets a devastating call from his father about how severe his illness is. Unfortunately, Marco has to cut his vacation short to be there for his father. Sabrina accepting his invitation to go with him is a like a fairytale. There's more to this wonderful story but I'll give no spoilers. I recommend this book for anyone in need of a dreams come true story. I loved it.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is your typical Cinderella story, with a twist that I didn't see coming. No spoilers, but I would have liked to read what happened to Magdalena, she was a real tool. The conclusion is an HEA and all loose ends are nicely wrapped up. I feel that the characters could have been developed a bit more, there is very little history given and at times it feels as if they were moving at light speed in their relationship. The best fairy godmother ever is present and accounted for. This book makes great light hearted reading for an afternoon of relaxation.

Wow what a fantastic read.
This is definitely one book that
Takes you on a very emotional journey.
Sabrina went for an interview for a job that
was going to pay her very well it was
going to allow her to go to college.
The job involved letting Marco having a troubled

Very sweet story with HEA

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book. Sweet little book for a quick Saturday afternoon read. A little cheesy but that's the point for a little fantasy. There was a lot of unnecessary details about Sabrina's back story of being poor. Marco seemed like a really sweet guy with some endearing qualities. This was a true Cinderalla story, with the evil stepmother, fairy god mother, prince, everything. Really cute.

Such a cute story. The secret identity of a prince and his assistant who come from a trailer park. Two unlikely people come together under the guise of helping Prince Marco go on a vacation so no one will know who he is and Sabrina gets the job because she doesn't recognize him. Her "aunt" is a hoot and has a secret past which ties into Sabrina and Marco's future. Marco's father is ill and his wicked stepmother keeps making things difficult for them. its sweet sexy and has fantastic HEA.

Krista Lakes is becoming one of my favorite authors. I automatically one click her books! You will not be disappointed with this story of boy hiring girl without her knowing who he is. Sabrina is a hard working girl who wants to go to college.... gotta love that! She answered an ad to work for a couple months and she would have enough money to pay for college. This book had it all...including a wicked mother (Queen). This is a feel good story for the Cinderella in all of us!

Sweet, charming and utterly romantic. Prince Marco comes across Sabrina in a unique way totally out of character for him. They never plan to fall in love, but the heart knows what it wants. But, a small secret of true identity gets in the way, but this couple perseverance is heartwarming!

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily chose to leave this unbiased review.

To be honest, I wasn't sure whether I was going to like this book. I thought that I had had enough of the feel-good romance stories. However, Krista Lakes let me know that I had not. I could not put this book down once I started reading. Marco and Sabrina are both characters that you can relate and the chemistry is very well-written - it basically jumps right off the page; you can feel it as if you are living it. If you're looking for a good read, this is definitely one that you need to get...even if you aren't into fairy-tale/romance/love stories. Trust me, you will regret it!

Another great "fairy tale" romance by Krista Lakes. A wonderful feel good story. Who doesn't love a fairy tale when they live happily ever after!
Sabrina is a poor girl from Memphis trying to earn money to go to college. She is hired as a personal assistant for Prince Marco but has no idea who he is. They have instant chemistry and after a few weeks of traveling he tells her who he is. He invites her to come home with him much to the dismay of his stepmother. And Sabrina and Marco must overcome some major obstacles.
You will fall in love with both of the characters and root for a happy ending. I loved the unexpected plot lines at the end !! Great book Krista!

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. Krista Lakes uses strong characters and great story lines for her work. I have had the opportunity to read several of her works now and she is just great. I can't put her work down once I start reading it. They are always page turners. You will love reading Marco and Sabrina's story. Marco is a Prince trying to take a break from everything and everyone who knows him. Sabrina has been hired as Marcos personal assistant while in America. Things get more heated between them then expected.

This story from Krista Lakes was more than I expected it to be. Sabrina applied to be an assistant to a important person "Marco" whom she thought was a model or an athlete or something like that. Sabrina had no idea he really was. She ended up getting the job, also the job is being Marco's travel companion, and it pays enough in three months to pay for 4 years of college. Her job is to use her name to reserve hotels and cars. They end up being more than travel companions, she finds out he is Prince Marco of Morovio. Things end up getting hot and heated between them. Great book!!

I voluntarily read and offer my honest review for an ARC copy.

Doesn't everyone wish for the prince charming. He doesn't have to be a real life prince that Sabrina got, but the way Marco treated Sabrina, as the princess she is. I fell in love with the romance that developed between the "shop girl" and the wealthy man who was out in disguise to explore the world. The adventure and first time experiencesince for not just Sabrina but also Marco makes you wish that you could join them at the baseball game or to watch the sunset on the beach. Romantic and fun, a great read to loose yourself for a few hours.

Excellent contemporary romance where royalty & commoner fight for love. Marco needed a vacation from all the stresses of his life. Sabrina is desperately trying to make a better life for her parents and herself. They meet and get along well but there's someone who will try to destroy their budding relationship. I enjoy the way Ms. Lakes gives us plenty of information as to how and why the main characters act and feel the way they do. Similar to a Cinderella story yet it has twists and turns to keep the reader interested. It is a stand-alone with a HEA. I received a complimentary copy of this book and chose to write a review.

I voluntarily read this ARC book and choose to leave a review. I fell into a dreamland where anything feels possible. All the too good to be true possibilities just happen to be within your grasp.
Sabrina, a hard working girl, who strives for college and giving her mom and dad a better future, desperately hoping to get the job as a personal assistant to a mystery man. Marco, the mystery man, needing a replacement personal assistant, knows instantly that she's the right person. So begins Marco's traveling vacation. Enlightened with the news she'll be traveling for the job excites Sabrina. Both Marco and Sabrina will get to go places they've never been. Of course, Sabrina has no idea who Marco really is and making sure to avoid paparazzi is an altogether new experience. It doesn't take long for them to admit feelings for each other and embrace it. Then Marco gets a devastating call from his father about how severe his illness is. Unfortunately, Marco has to cut his vacation short to be there for his father. Sabrina accepting his invitation to go with him is a like a fairytale. There's more to this wonderful story but I'll give no spoilers. I recommend this book for anyone in need of a dreams come true story. I loved it.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is your typical Cinderella story, with a twist that I didn't see coming. No spoilers, but I would have liked to read what happened to Magdalena, she was a real tool. The conclusion is an HEA and all loose ends are nicely wrapped up. I feel that the characters could have been developed a bit more, there is very little history given and at times it feels as if they were moving at light speed in their relationship. The best fairy godmother ever is present and accounted for. This book makes great light hearted reading for an afternoon of relaxation.

Wow what a fantastic read.
This is definitely one book that
Takes you on a very emotional journey.
Sabrina went for an interview for a job that
was going to pay her very well it was
going to allow her to go to college.
The job involved letting Marco having a troubled
free few months in the States before he had to take
on some royal dutys.
This is how there relationship started.
Will every thing turn out for them or will his Stepmother reck
there chance of having a happy ending.
