For a debut author, Married to a Prince was actually pretty good. Although it started off slow, it felt believable concerning the subject matter. The writing of the story was told in the third person, giving the reader both the perspective of Laila and Andreas. The relationship between the two main characters was a slow build to a healthy relationship as they carefully learned to trust one another. The love between the two was slow to develop, and the transition to friends to dating also made sense. Nothing felt too rushed.
I loved how each of the characters had their own issues to get over to mature, and their own problems to handle. But, then again, I’ve never been a fan of the miscommunication plot since I believe if you’re in a relationship, why are you keeping secrets that could jeopardize that trust? And even if the secret would endanger the relationship, if you told them, the damage wouldn’t be as severe if you were to hide it from your significant other. Telling your secrets demonstrates trust.
Married to a Prince was charming and romantic, and I loved how Andreas, the hero, and prince in this story, had his vulnerable moments. He wasn’t like the stereotypical “prince” heroes in the fact that he was insufferable and arrogant to the point the reader got exasperated with him. It was just the right medium between the sweet and acting like an entitled prince.
The epilogue included was adorable, but I think that (sorry for being cryptic, don’t want to spoil) many years should have passed for that to occur. But besides that, I didn’t really have an issue with Married to a Prince.
