Taken by a Trillionaire #1-3
Taken by a Trillionaire
Three New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors.
One wild project.
Taken by a Trillionaire is an escapism fantasy that was born at a party at RWA. Over cocktails, J.S. Scott, Melody Anne, and Ruth Cardello laughed as they plotted this book with the help of two industry friends, Chris and Brian.
If you are looking for a historically accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals maintain their bloodlines, this may not be the book for you. If you love larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to exotic places with sexy alpha men, then welcome to our imaginary kingdom: Rubare Collina. The men are insanely rich, the traditions are potentially deadly, and the sex will leave you craving a night on this dark isle.
If you’ve ever fantasized about what it would be like to be swept off your feet—or tossed over a prince’s shoulder and taken—then you’ll enjoy our trilogy.
Novella One: Xander by Ruth Cardello
Royal Prince Xander Demande needs to choose a wife before his thirtieth birthday, or he will lose his crown. His list of potential candidates is long but shortens to one woman after a brief encounter with the socially inept, but beautiful and brilliant, Dr. Reanna Fielding. She never thought Prince Charming would come for her. He never thought any woman would melt his heart. Love makes its own rules, but will it save her when she defies not only him but the laws of his kingdom? In Rubare Collina, a marriage proposal can be a dream come true—or a death sentence.
Novella Two: Bryan by J.S. Scott
Get married . . . or die. Prince Bryan Demande was left with only two unpalatable choices. When he decides to take his chances rather than marry, his father and the busybody royal adviser take matters into their own hands.
Like it or not, Bryan is delivered a kidnapped bride, and it isn't a woman who's a total stranger. She's an American female who has haunted his dreams for the last five years, the only woman who has ever wanted him without his trillions of dollars or his royal title. Suddenly, marriage doesn't look like such a bad option to Bryan, but he'll have to convince his angry, kidnapped, bride-to-be that she belongs with him.
Novella Three: Chris by Melody Anne
Christopher Demande wants nothing to do with marriage and is willing to renounce his title to the throne to prove it. That is until he meets independent Adara Burnadette and decides he must have her. Unfortunately, Adara is opposed to marriages of convenience. So what does a young prince do when his chosen bride refuses his proposal? He kidnaps her of course.

This book consisted of 3 stories of 3 brothers of their lives on how they managed to secure a bride.
Honestly after reading the first story i felt like i was just going to be done there. Not that its not good but i know if i kept reading i would be digging a deeper hole and fall madly in loved w these characters. And guess what? Indeed i did! Omg their relationship is just so beautiful

“We’re brothers first and always"

3.5 stars, the stories are good but none of them really wowed me.
I've read books from these authors before. I love Melody Anne, Ruth Cardello and J. S. Scott but this book, personally to me, is a bit disappointing.
Mostly because there's no chemistry between characters. In each story, the bride got "kidnapped" and I was expecting more thick romance but in the end I only got the basic one and to me that's not enough. The plot itself is good, but the execution is a bit flat to me. And this works for all stories.
Overall I enjoyed it. But it definitely could be so much better than this. :)

Taken by a Trillionaire
Xander by Ruth Cardello
Excitement is an understatement, drawn into a story of complete fantasy. I have been utterly engrossed into a story that many dream about, Xander is a prince very charming, handsome prince. He is 29 years old and must wed before his 30th birthday. He doesn't want to just settle for anyone crossing women off his list.
He goes in search of Reanna, time is running out and his father the king will not be pleased if he fails. When he tries to date, Reanna, she refuses, clearly this is refreshing for him. Who says no to a prince but Reanna is unaware of his status she simply knows him as Xander. Reanna has not had an easy childhood. Losing her parents when she was so young and placed in foster care.
She is very closed off from the world but you can tell she has a fighting spirit such an intelligent woman working in physics, facts and figures she understands, relationships she does not, she is innocent in every sense of the word. Xander needs her to go to his country, Rubare Collina, how can he achieved this without telling her the complete truth, he is taking a very big risk, deadly risk but he feels something for Reanna, she's special. He believes she will grow to love him given some time. Just when you think his plan has worked and love can conquer all, Reanna finds her fighting spirit. I held my breath from this point on. First I thought is she mad, crazy woman but some things in life are worth fighting for whether it's love, beliefs or protecting others. What a brilliant story. I was taken with this book. While Reanna was taken by a Trillionaire.
Taken By A Trillionaire
Bryan by Author J.S.Scott
In our wildest dreams would we all love to live out a fantasy as I have just read. We all grow up believing in fairy tales and that wishes can come true. For some dreams can come true for others we still love to dream.
Bryan Demande is a prince, actually one of three princes. He is the middle child and doesn't really feel as special as his brothers but let me tell you the guy is so wrong. He is what I would call a STUD. OMG!! He is the man in my dreams at night. Isn't it funny how we get so drawn into a story, our minds can see the pictures playing out. This can only be a huge credit to the Author telling a brilliant story. Bryan has reached the age of 29 years and has been told he must marry as soon as possible. In Rubare Collina there are many laws but one that the king, Xander is fighting hard to eradicate is 'the marriage law', now I don't want to give the whole story away but in order to marry a prince has to comply with many traditions. Bryan does not want to marry anyone, he does not want a wife. He seen how miserable his mother was and does not want to live that kind of life. He does however think often about a woman he met called Shea when he attended college. Shea gave him a very precious gift, one night he will never forget.
Shea finds herself in a strange country. Not knowing how or why she got there, but her main concern is where is Hayden. Who is Hayden? Well you need to read to find out. When, Bryan finds out about Hayden he is shocked to say the least, even more shocked than he is to see Shea after five long years. Shea is quite frankly in disbelief of the whole situation. As always nothing is ever as it seems, secrets hidden for many years are now revealed. Until the next time remember to hold on to your dreams because fairy tales really can come true.
Taken By A Trillionaire
Christopher By Melody Anne
Three is my new favourite number. This story is about the youngest prince in the Demande family, Christopher. There is only a year or two between each brother. They are very close. Their saying is 'brothers first'. Always protecting each other and of course poking fun when the opportunity arises. Christopher hasn't really cared about having a title as he likes his time always...living it large, drinking and bedding as many woman as possible.
When he is told on his 29th birthday he must marry in order to keep that title, he can't believe his ears. No chance is he going to marry just to keep is royal title. He tells his family not a chance he is settling down.
Months after his birthday he starts to have a rethink on what is important to him. He has met a woman in America called Adara who believes at first their encounter is a casual one perhaps Christopher too at the beginning but we all know how fast things can change. He really likes Adara, he wants her to meet his family but unfortunately she is having none of it. She tells him she no longer wants to see him. He is devastated but respects her wishes by leaving but not before he tells her its far from over.
Oh boy 'Take 3' LOL. I wouldn't need to be kidnapped if a prince came into my life. Actually she doesn't know he's a prince but still the man is HOT!! They have an amazing time together so he can't see what her problem is, he believes that she does love him and just needs to realise that. And so it begins, poor woman thinks Christopher is insane and needs to be locked up. She is in for a series of surprises that's for sure and some not the good kind.
Life can be as complicated as you make it but one thing is for certain if you love someone and are willing to do anything for their happiness, that's the person you need to be with.
Three Brilliant stories about three HOT!! princes by three fantastic authors. Told you THREE is my new favourite number.

Not a bad read but the whole Arcano secret society thing was a pretty ridiculous

So so
I'm a huge fan of all three of these authors but this book did not do it for me. By the time you make it to book three it's like reading the same thing for the third time. For me, it was hard to visualize what was going on. The princes came off over the top corny. I like the idea behind the stories but it was taken too far out there. Towards the end I just couldn't wait to be done reading it and considered not finishing. Erotic parts were all good and made me want a big nice bathtub to relax with my husband.

Awesome
Three very entertaining stories of royal brothers, Xander, Brian, and Chris dealing with archaic laws in their country regarding marriage by age 30 and surprisingly finding love along the way. I enjoyed each of these stories and would definitely recommend this book.

Ich fand die zweite Trilogie besser. Weiß aber nicht ob das an der Lesereihenfolge liegt oder wirklich an den Geschichten. Auch hier gab es echt lustige Szenen, aber ich mochte dennoch die Geschichten um die Insel Virgina!? besser.

Prince Xander, Prince Bryan, and Prince Chris, are three brothers that happen to be royalty, handsome, sexy, and filthy rich. Three brothers who are also very, very used to getting what they want, when they want, and how they want. They are all three arrogant and very sure of themselves. Above all they love their family and their country, but find out that things will change for them by the time they turn thirty, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it!
These three novellas are quick and fun reads. It is almost as if you are reading a fairy tale with all the castles, princes, and princesses. And who doesn't love a good fairy tale, especially when written by J.S. Scott, Ruth Cardello and Melody Anne. I have always been a fan of J.S. and Ruth, but I am sorry to say that this is the first book I have read my Melody Anne, but it will not be my last, I love her writing style.
So do yourself and a favor, read this book and get lost in another country, their traditions and their beliefs. Who knows, you may even find your own Prince Charming.

I must say this was an excellent read! For a novella I was presently surprised because novellas are not full length and they leave little opportunity for profound details of description of characters but was not so here, I was so happy to get the details of not only the life of the brothers as royals but also the co stars and others that make up such a wonderful story. Secondly the authors found a way to interlock their writing style without making the story seem disjointed or clashing in taste.
I love the chemistry in all three reads !! That , I definitely didn't expect because two of these authors are not on my reading list but now I am encouraged to buy some of their reads. They did a marvelous job on Taken by a Trillionaire and I wish they collaborated more in future work.
Thank you...
Author Ruth Cardello you did a wonderful job on Xander and Deanna Story and damm but also the introduction itself that I was encouraged to continue and savour every word. You are new to me and now I want to buy and enjoy your work !

I was so happy to read this book. It is a collaboration of three of my favorite authors.
I was worried that it would not flow with each telling the tale of each of the three brothers in the story. I was happy to see each story flow elegantly into the next even mentioning the characters retaining the qualities each brother was given by each author.
Each story carried the same theme but was very much a different story each time. Theme being very spoiled, extremely rich princes seeking the love of their lives. Needing to marry each before the prince turns 30. The consequences of not doing so due to the archaic laws with which their country is ruled, leaves you in suspense in each story. It was wonderful getting to know Xander, Bryan, and Chris.

Taken by a Trillionaire is a fascinating, quick and fairy tale read - three stories by three authors J.S. Scott, Melody Anne, and Ruth Cardello - this will take you through a mirage where HEA is the only option!
If you are looking to escape into a mystic realm where all is nice and green, Taken by a Trillionaire compilation is just what you need. OTT alpha heroes who go to ridiculous lengths to clinch their HEA with their beloved with a good dose and drama, fantasy and romance, I enjoyed reading these short stories!
I have read books by these authors before and I wasn't disappointed by these stories, though it looked like not their style in some places - what's there to complain about a good story with a HEA? That's what we all are after, right?

Great read
I love how three stories became one. All three authors did a great job putting together the families. I think you'll enjoy it.
I can tell that all three authors had fun when making the plans for this book. I found myself smiling several times while reading it.

Taken by a Trillionaire is a boxed set containing 3 books by 3 different authors. Each one follows the theme of ‘Taken by the Trillionaire’, and each book focuses on one of three brothers- while we all follow along to see what happens. The brothers are royal princes who according to ancient laws will all need to find a wife or suffer the consequences. Each of the three brothers gets their own book. They are as follows:
Book One is:
Prince Xander By: Ruth Cordello
Xander Demande has no choice, he will need to choose a wife before he turns 30 or lose the crown. As his 30th birthday is fast approaching he takes things into his own hands after meeting the gorgeous, but awkward Reanna Fielding. But things aren’t that simple, as we soon discover. Will Xander succeed in his quest, or will it all end in a death sentence?
I found Xander to be very arrogant and Reanna to be a bit annoying. I really couldn’t get into the story and found it difficult to connect with the characters. I was disappointed that I didn’t love this book as it should have been one I’d love. I will re-read it again in the future to see if I still feel the same way, or if I’m just having a bad day!
Book Two is:
Prince Bryan By: J.S Scott
Bryan has two choices, get married, or die? Well, he decides that neither choices are to his liking, so he decides to take his chances. But his father and the royal advisor step in and come up with their own solution. A kidnapped bride. Surprisingly she’s also the one female he hasn’t been able to forget. Suddenly. Marriage doesn’t seem quite so bad- only problem is that he’s going to have to convince his extremely angry bride to be, that she wants this too!
I really didn’t connect with the characters or the story, which was disappointing. I don’t really know why, because this type of story is normally right in my wheelhouse. Ms. Scott is an author whose works I have rally enjoyed, but this is my least favourite of the ones that I have read. I will need to revisit it in the future to see if I still feel the same way, or if I am just having an off day.
Book Three is:
Prince Christopher By: Melody Ann
Christopher Demande has no interest in being married, ever. So, he is willing to renounce his title and any claim to the throne if it means he won’t be subjected to the laws. But then he encounters Adara Bernadette- suddenly he can’t stop thinking about her. He must have her, only she’s not that easy. So, what does he do- kidnaps her of course.
These characters and the storyline should have been ones that I would love, as I have enjoy other books by Melody Ann in the past. From the blurb and the cover- they should have been an instant hit for me. But I’m sorry to say that it was a bit of a miss. I really had trouble connecting with the characters and their story. I really wanted to love it, but I didn’t. And I really can’t pinpoint exactly why. This is a book that I will need to re-read later on, just to see if I feel the same way, or if I am at this time just having an off reading day!
Thank you to Ms. Cardello, Ms. Scott, and Ms. Melody Ann!

I first saw the title and laughed. First we had millionaires, then billionaires, now trillionaires. I noted the books were written by three of my favorite authors: Ruth Cardello, Melody Anne, and J. S. Scott.
With the authors writing together, I knew I was in for a humorous treat. And it was. I am going to take the books one at a time as I noted some of the reviewers mixed up the authors and story lines.
And now to add the third book in this wonderful trio, Christoper's story by Melody Anne.
Christopher Dante Demonde of Rubare Collina. Chris has reached the ripe old age of twenty-nine and was just informed that although brides and members of the royal household are no longer executed, he will be removed from the line of succession to the throne. He defies tradition and announces that he will not get married and leaves the island. For three months he continued on his one-night stands, and then met Adara Burnadette. That too was to be a casual sex only relationship, but somewhere along the way, Chris developed real feelings for her. Her mother had frequently cautioned her that men will leave you with a baby and bills. she only wants casual affairs and Chris is wonderful at satisfying those urges. As soon as he starts to try to get serious with her, she breaks off their relationship. He continues to hound her. She finally gets a flight from Ithaca, N.Y. to Las Vegas, but is afraid of flying. She just finished her third Long Island Ice Tea when she asks the bartender if there was any tea in it. She is rather tipsy.
A nice older gentleman comes by to tell her her plane's been delayed and it is in a different concourse and gate. He offers to walk her there. The attendant by the gate is very helpful. Takes her ticket and tells her to go ahead and board. She had not been on any planes before, but expected more seats. The flight attendant tells her to take any seat and get comfortable. She hands her an orange juice, which Adara promptly drains after all that alcohol. She is soon fast asleep and doesn't wake up during take off or for quite a while.
When she wakes up, Chris is there and she is furious and wants to know why he is on her plane to Las Vegas. He informs her she is on his private plane headed to his private island.
A few mishaps, brothers to the rescue, some time alone to get to know each other and some nasty villains. Of course we do get our HEA and one delightful story. There is another set of three by this wonderful trio of authors that I will be reading very soon. Three stories in one book. What a great buy and what great stories!

I enjoyed every story in TAKEN BY A TRILLIONAIRE. Each Author is well known for their works and they do not disappoint with this collection of stories.
Taken by a Trillionaire is an escapism fantasy and is not, in my opinion, trying to write this as though it actually is realistic and could happen to 3 couples. I say this because I read some reviews and some felt it was not realistic. Well, good. Sometime we just need to fantasize and know that it is over the top and will be great. Even the author’s stated so in their description: “If you are looking for a historically accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals maintain their bloodlines, this may not be the book for you.”
The books are about three (3) brothers in the royal family of Demande in the country of Rubare Collina. Each brother must marry by the time they are 30 years of age or lose the throne in Alexander Demande’s case, or lose their inheritance and title for the other 2 brothers. There is a catch with the royal marriages and you are told at your 29th birthday.
The catch is that they must “kidnap” the bride they choose and if she refuses to marry them, the bride to be is killed. This happened to their father and he lost the love of his life. Each son is appalled at this archaic law and the first thing Xander will do is change this law when he becomes king.
As we learn, that may not be an easy task because the council includes members of an origination called ARCANO. The arcano are trained from birth to keep this law in order to keep the monarchy linage pure even though the world has moved forward to the twenty-first century, the Arcane have not and will kill anyone that attempts to change this tradition.
Crown Prince Alexander Edward Charles Demande of Rubare Collina.
Simon, the family advisor and Xander have a list of potential prospects for his wife. Xander must be married in four months or he loses the crown. When Xander interviews Dr. Reanna Fielding, he is immediately drawn to her. Reanna feel it to, but she lives like a hermit since she had a near death experience from a serial killer in grad school and remains reserved.
How is Xander going to convince a revered Doctor in the field of DNA to come to Rubar Collina and get to know him and hopefully fall in love with him. As the book progresses, Reanna finds out about the archaic law and refuses to marry Xander unless he will abolish the law. However, Xander can only do that when he becomes King and currently his father is King.
Xander and Reanna’s story is full of passion, mystery and suspense as the Council and Arcano go after both of them.
Prince Bryan Demande by J.S. Scott
Since each prince is 1 year apart, it is now Prince Bryan’s turn to find out about the law that he must be married by 30 or lose his title and inheritance. Bryan was just as furious as Xander was when he found out. The good news is that Xander took over as King and was able to abolish the law, but he was unable to find all the Arcano and they are not going to allow the royal family to skirt around the tradition.
Get married or die. Prince Bryan refused to give into this law, so his father, the former King and Simon the family advisor took it into their own hands to find him a wife. They delivered a kidnapped woman who woke up in a room not knowing where she was and how she got there.
When Prince Bryan found out, he decided that maybe he could marry this women because it was Shea. She was the one woman that he could not get out of his mind. He met Shea in college in America. After one night of passion, he had to leave in the middle of the night because his father was ill so he flew home to his country. Shea woke up alone. In a few weeks she found out she was pregnant and had to move back home to Michigan. Shea didn’t have Bryan’s last name, knew nothing about him and had no way of letting him know that she was pregnant. Bryan came back to America 3 months later and by then Shea had moved to Michigan and he had no way of finding her. But, apparently Simon could find her and kidnap her in the process.
Her parents however, kicked her out and she was on her own, working 2 jobs to support Hayden her daughter. Now 5 years later, she and Hayden are kidnapped and she does not know where they are or where they have taken Hayden. The pull is still there for both of them, but, when Shea finds out; she will not marry him just for the sake of Hayden. With many members of the Arcano who will not allow Prince Bryan to bypass this tradition means that Prince Bryan, Shea and Princess Hayden are all in danger of being killed by the Arcano?
I really liked this story and fell in love with the characters and was glued to the book when someone he trusted turned out to be part of the Arcano and is going to kill him. Don’t miss this wonderful story.
Prince Christopher Dante Demande: by Melody Anne
When Prince Christopher is told that he must be married by 30, the law that a potential bride is to be killed if she chooses not to marry was already abolished, however, the law that he must marry by 30 or be stripped of his Title and succession to the Throne is still law. Prince Christopher stated that he did not care and walked out. Six months later and Prince Christopher was having a change of heart. He loved his country and he had found a woman that he could actually see himself being married to.
When Prince Christopher meets Adara Burnadette and decides he must have her. He has spent months with her and he could not get enough of her, and she was a virgin. The problem was they had agreed to keep it casual. When Prince Christopher wanted something more, she refused and told him to leave and not come back.
Adara wanted a career and to take care of herself and not depend on a man. Prince Chris was trying to take this away from her and she would not have it. Besides, her mother had told her many times that she could not count on a man, after all Adara’s father walked out on them.
Find out if Prince Christopher has to kidnap Adara or if he can get her to admit that she loves him as much as he loves her.

Ruth Cardello , J.S.Scott and Melody Anne are three of my favorite authors ! so when I heard that they were coming together to create Taken by a Trillionaire I was thrilled !. I dived into this story as soon as I could and I loved it !. In this book we have 3 brothers and all of them must get married by specific time or face some very fatal consequences, so these are three interconnected stories about these three brothers falling in love . I got so invested in these stories I rooted for all these couple no matter what the odds were. These authors write such amazing romance ! each love story was unique , sexy and swoon worthy and those are three things I love in this my books. There was so much happening in this book , we got know about a lot the laws of these royals and the history of it Rubare Collina and I constantly wanted to know more . Not do you get amazing romance and ridiculously attractive royals , you also get to see just how strongly tyed these brothers are to each other and I just loved that . There is not one thing I did not love about this novel .It was sexy , addictive and kept me one my toes and after reading the ending. I am keeping my fingers crossed there is another book . If you love all these things in your books you should definitely pick up a copy !

Take by a Trillionaire by Ruth Cardello, J.S. Scott, Melody Ann is one book with 3 Novellas. The book tell the story of the Demande brother and their fate as royals when they turn 30.
The Demande Brother find out their fate on their 29th birthday. Each brother reluctant to give into finding a bride by the time they turn 30. The brother each have their own plan on how they are going to handle their fate. The one things that stand true is Brother's First.
I enjoyed each story I read. I love how each author how their own writing style and has their own spin on the brother they wrote about. For me the book flowed great!
Ruth Cardello told Xander the older brother's story. J.S. Scott told the story of the middle brother Bryan and Melody Anne told the story of Chris.
This author writing amazing together. I love forward to more project they do together.
This book was 5 stars. I love the storyline and how each story was told in the book

I loved these three authors. When each mentioned that they were collaborating on a book I was so excited. I mean who doesn't like their favorite authors all in one book.
Ruth Cardello - Xander is one of my favorite characters of hers. I mean who doesn't want their own prince. He has to get married and falls for a doctor whom goes against the tradition of the throne. This story is one of those that even though it was made with two other authors who wish the author had written another one for him just so the story can be longer.
Melody Anne - Can I be kidnapped by a prince? Damn Christopher was hot and I mean HOT!!! Melody always wrote her men to make them seem so real. I kind of wish Christoper was cause I need me a Prince right now. I think with this story it might be one of my top ten favorites of Melody's.
JS Scott - For Five years she wanted him not for his money and royalty and now Bryan has his chance to have her. Another kidnapping. Can a Prince kidnap me now? When is it my turn? This was the first story I read from JS Scott and it sure was not the last one. I am so glad Ruth and Melody introduced me to this lovely woman.

I don't want to say it but this seemed like a glorified Stockholm syndrome. All of them involved kidnapping, and I guess that's a trope in erotic literature. But there were times where I was like, "Nah-uh! That was over the line..." I also thought that just because they are princes, that doesn't mean that the end does not justify the means... I didn't even find the stories that sweet or romantic at all. If anything, I do love the second story. J.S. Scott's story was the only one, I think, was pretty good in this collection. Given though, the general plot/problem in the story is already stated so she has more freedom in sharing that side of the story. But even for that story I thought it was overdone in the end. The second story was pretty good, then they had to throw this "twist" that just made the story too extra.

Xander
I wish the first section started out a little bit different than I thought it should be but good nonetheless. The author’s story about the retired professors (Trudy and Jonathan Belise) made me tear up. Reanna‘s responses to the King when they first met made me chuckle. And, Simon is a hoot! 🤣 5 stars
Bryan
Not enough sex scenes.
This book is predictable AF! It was so obvious that Moira is the Bryan’s (or, even the boys’) mother. The way she behaved. And, the ending was kind of blah. 3 1/2 stars
Christopher
Desperate. Immature. Arrogant. Delusional. Manipulative. Christopher’s unconventional tactic to acquire a bride is cringe worthy, laughable and criminal. The author dropped the ball on this one! Beautiful ending. Cheesy, nonetheless. 3 stars

The author’s story about the retired professors (Trudy and Jonathan Belise) made me tear up. Reanna‘s responses to the King when they first met made me chuckle. And, Simon is a hoot! 🤣 5 stars
Bryan
Not enough sex scenes.
This book is predictable AF! It was so obvious that Moira is the Bryan’s (or, even the boys’) mother. The way she behaved. And, the ending was kind of blah. 3 1/2 stars
Christopher

Messy, loveable couple
Adara believes that men will rule you and not let you have a life. Her mother drummed it into her. Christopher the youngest of the Princes, spoilt but loveable, charming and expects to get everything he wants. Not Love. They fall for each other but nothing runs smooth. A plane crash, a kidnapping, and amnesia. Makes a good story. Enjoy.

Couldn't put it down
I read and own all of Melody Anne's books. This book did not disappoint. It didn't drag on but didn't go too fast either. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This novella trilogy is written by 3 great authors, each one taking the story of 3 different brothers who are heirs to the throne in a small country with unique customs. I loved reading each ones journey as they try to save their family line while finding love in an unusual way.
