Becoming an instant princess is hard enough, but living with a sexy prince an entire summer is even harder. And if that isn’t enough, a secret pregnancy with twins complicates things, especially when the prince is supposed to marry someone else!
OLIVIA The last thing Olivia, from small town Nebraska, expected to happen was for her mom to fall in love with the king of the tiny kingdom of Bijoux. Being a princess wasn’t going to be easy, but having to live with Quincy, a tattooed, self-proclaimed bad boy was even harder. Olivia knows his dangerous eyes and mysterious tattoos are totally off limits, but she can’t help falling for a man who will stop at nothing to show her how much he desires her, including sacrificing his kingdom.
QUINCY Quincy, night clubber and reluctant prince, knows Olivia is off limits. She is, after all, the new queen’s daughter, and he’s been charged with showing her the ropes and teaching her about being royalty. Besides, he’s aware of the tradition that demands he marry a chosen bride by the end of the summer. If only Olivia didn’t drive him so wild! Every time he touches her, he realizes those rules are made to be broken and no one would come between him and the woman he desires the most.
Publisher's note: This is a full-length, standalone novel. Happily Ever After with no cliffhanger! As a bonus and thank you to my readers, this edition of PRINCE CHARMING includes two FREE stepbrother sexy romance books!
Cute story, I enjoyed it. Wish there was more of the main character adjusting to princess life and after as queen. But overall nothing bad to say certainly not filled with drama or angst but there is a little female competition, no nasty ex drama have no fear :P
Biggest difficulty I had was with the overall behaviors of the female characters, especially their interactions, dialogue/conversations with each other, and transitions from one scene into the next. To me, Claire is unnaturally despondent about Trent's infidelity, especially since she is such a beautiful woman herself, and instead of weeping or moping so much should have been a touch more angry instead of complacently accepting the asshat-Trent's behavior! I would have wanted to HURT that guy -- as in assisting him with an involuntary sex change -- not just sit around wasting my time crying over him for weeks the way Claire did.
Then Amy and Willow go full-on SKANK once they get within range of good looking strangers, completely disregarding and forgetting how they initially talked Claire into taking her honeymoon trip to have fun, as well as try to feel better about and Jayne get over Trent. A good Mom and true friend would NOT have ditched their heartbroken, depressed daughter and best friend the way Willow and Amy did Claire! Soooo tacky, and unbelievable in the sense this isn't how real people behave!
Finally, I cannot stress enough how WRONG it is for people to automatically categorize previously unrelated children of adults who elect to marry as all-of-a-sudden "sisters" or "brothers" as well as sons and daughters to each other and their step parents. As a new stepmother to my husband's young children more than twenty years ago, I can attest to the fact that it is NOWHERE NEAR EASY to just begin using titles like "mom," or "daughter/son" instead of step-son and step-daughter, even all these years later. I can't agree with the stigma of impropriety someago, people attach toward sexual relationships between step siblings either, because -- hello! -- NOT BLOOD RELATED!!
This was a cute story with an HEA for Claire who for some reason sounded and behaved like a stereotypical blond rather than brunette to me, but the writing sounded too forced and somewhat unnatural, almost as though English wasn't the writer's first language. I've read other works by this author and have kicked myself for purchasing versus waiting to read the book for free through e-Kindle because I hadn't enjoyed the reading experience. It's a shame, for this writer has great ideas and plots. I invariably end up disappointed at the stilted, mechanical tone to her dialogue and characterizations.
As is the problem with the romance genre we all know and love the plot lines can definitely be a tad obvious and so you pretty much are left with the characters and the writing. That being the fact these characters and content surrounding them were really quite charming, and not just the main squeeze of the story bearing that moniker. I do wish we had the chance to really hate the female antagonist Gigi, it was obvious we were supposed to not like her but as with most of the secondary characters apart from the main two couples they fell a little flat and under developed. Those main four though we're very lifelike and real the only thing I wish had been added was detailed visual descriptions of the characters clothing had huge in depth descriptions as did art and scenery unfortunately while we liked and understood the characters and their actions we have no idea what these people even remotely look like. If the author were to head back to the drawing board and finish those few things I could definitely see it receiving a four star rating from me (not five because on principle I save that fifth star for full length novels which this is not really long enough for me to consider it so.)
I adored this taboo, step-sibling sexy romantic story. Set in the beautiful isle with colour and sunshine, a prince and princess discover one another. The story is addictive, as a reader you are constantly turning he page to see what happens next. The balance of old traditions and new idea's was perfect and added to the scandalous secret. Just a couple of niggles for me. This books length was 48% of the total book. I know it might be nice to have additional books to read for free, however, some might be put off by the length of the book which would be misleading, you never know where you are.
Reading this book was a bit of a challenge. I found it very short. The plot was good, the characters were interesting but it was all very rushed. Even the two freebie stories were fast paced. I just felt that the author could have and should have put more effort into the story(ies). Rushed books make for fast reading, but they lack in interest. I had to push myself to finish it.
This book brought 3 of my favorite tropes together into one fun story! It's no secret that I love stepbrother books, royalty romance and secret babies....so to find them all in one...heaven! What's even better, finding that the book was good!
I loved Quincy and Olivia. I loved the friendship that developed between them and watching it turn into something more.
This was an enjoyable book, and I loved how Quincy went after what he wanted and went after Olivia.
Prince Charming:A Stepbrothers Secret Baby Romance by Kia Carson
I thought you could not too the Prince but I was wrong the next three are just as great you one helliva writer you t good I can't wait to read more you need to read this book you will love it the stories are so heart warming I've cried all thru them thru are so good I give a ten star rating enjoy Margie
I thought this was a pretty good book. I enjoyed the story overall and the characters. For a Prince, Quincy was actually pretty cool. He wasn't what I was expecting. Their parents did annoy me in some spots. Excepting and demanding things from Quincy and Olivia. And I did think the end was a bit rushed but it was a sweet ending. Pretty good overall.
Mia Carson combined two of the hottest trends in romance into one book! My favorite from her so far. Nothing like story about secret baby with your stepbrother who's also happens to be a prince to get you going. Enjoyed every minute!

I purchased this book because the book blurb caught my eye. It's a forbidden step bother romance with a secret baby, whats not to love. This book took me less then 3hours to read so it's perfect for a day at the beach or pool. I enjoyed reading it and it's very steamy.
