The sudden death of her grandmother makes her story completely different and thus her life changes drastically.

Aarti V. Raman is a self-proclaimed incurable romantic. She has written several contemporary romance books, and her latest, The Soldier Prince, will make this already hot summer even hotter. This is the first book of her new series, and she sets the bar quite high.

Alexander Henrickson abandoned his royal lifestyle to become a soldier. After years in combat, he retires from military life to become a construction worker in New York City, deciding to live a simple life instead of going home. Sasha Ray works at the diner Alex frequents. Sasha works two jobs while also trying to get a degree in teaching.

One evening, a homeless man comes into the diner to urge Sasha to warn Alex that there are men looking for him. So she goes, believing he's in mortal danger. From there things go from bad to worse. And before you know it, Sasha is on a plane with Alex heading for his homeland of Stellangård for her own safety. Sasha knows that any attraction she feels towards Alex will be in vain. A relationship between the two will never work out, yet she can't fight her feelings.

The Soldier Prince reminded me a bit of Beauty and the Beast, in the fact that Sasha is kept against her will and there's a huge library that would make any bookworm fall in love. But right now seems to be the perfect time for Royal Romances, especially on the heals of a certain royal couple who just tied the knot. Alex and Sasha have great chemistry. Their situation seems impossible, but I still couldn't help cheering for them. But of course, this is a romance so you know the characters are going to get their Happily Ever After.

I enjoyed this novel. The characters had great chemistry. There was enough emotional turmoil to keep me satisfied. And of course, the ending was worth it all. Raman's style breaths some fresh air into this popular genre that will have you eagerly waiting for the next book in this series.
