ARC provided by NetGalley and Harlequin in exchange for an honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
New author for HP. And I struggled with this one.
Ilaria was helping her cousin out by informing Prince Frediano that her cousin wasn't able to make their appointment, and in the meantime allowing her cousin to sneak away and marry the man she loved. But Ilaria had a major surprise, she was actually stepping in for her cousin and marrying Prince Frediano.
The two were married and Frediano was determined they would stay married. Frediano would do what ever was necessary to not create any scandal and to keep his grandfather happy and calm as his grandfather was ill.
Ilaria worked on a farm raising goats and helping orphans in her small town/community. She was not Princess material. She had resentment for the royal family because she felt they caused the death of her Father and others due to their negligence in a mining accident. The mining accident sadly was how Ilaria became involved with the orphans.
Frediano was brought up by some very awful parents who loved scandal and treated their son as an afterthought. They died while climbing a snow covered mountain, the prince was left at the bottom of the mountain. He was saved by his Grandfather who loved, nurtured and raised him. Frediano was ever indebted to him for his love and guidance and promised himself to never shame his uncle like his parents.
And so the two worked on their marriage, on Ilaria's training as a princess and of course their resentment towards each other. Ilaria was attracted to the Prince but refused to see any good in him. Frediano wanted a bland and mellow wife, like Ilaria's cousin but instead he got lively and beautiful Ilaria and that was not okay. Frediano refused to have feelings for his wife.
This was royalty central, some have stated it had Megan and Harry vibes and maybe it did. I have to say I did not like their relationship. It was all over the place, had no consistency and seemed off and not fluid. They would say one thing in one sentence and in the next sentence they were behaving opposite of what they had just said. I did not see the development of their relationship but more had to do with royalty and protocol. The emotion and heart were missing for this couple in my opinion.
They eventually got their HEA and I have to say I did love the epilogue and hence the 2.5 instead of the 2 star I was going to give.
I will give this author another try as there is definitely room for growth. She has potential.

Quick Summary: An accidental matchup leads to love
My Review: The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand by Lorraine Hall was a mixed bag romance. The story brought together a rather stoic prince and a very kind hearted farmer. Their meeting was accidental. Their attraction was unexpected. Their joining was intentional. Their love story was inevitable.
About the Characters: Ilaria and Frediano were quite similar. Both had suffered a great loss. Both had wanted to help people they cared about. Both were stubbornly "righteous." Both had entered into a relationship, thinking they could take the lead, only to find out that the heart rules and as such, they had to bow to its wants, needs, and desires.
My Final Say: This romance started with a great pace and tone. As the story continued, it waned a little, in my opinion. Still, it wrapped up really well, even providing a full circle finish. Character growth was evident for both leads. Conflict was minimal.
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommend: Yes

Sorry but this was boring and unreal.
May 20, 2023
Featured in Harlequin Presents February 2023: Box Set 1 of 2. I hated The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand, to the point that I started to skim a few chapters in. The story reads as if it was originally set in the past and shoehorned into a contemporary setting. Although mobile phones and cloud storage surface from time to time, it's bizarre that neither Frediano nor Ilaria mention (e.g.,) social networks, smartphones, or the internet all that often when media coverage and public perception form the basis for their marriage. Without the time period as an excuse for his cruelty and manipulation, Frediano repulsed me from the moment he opens his mouth. The narrative doesn't offer much to redeem him aside from childhood trauma. While I empathized, I don't think it's an excuse for him to use his considerable power against Sophia or Ilaria. I lost all interest in him as a romantic lead when he had Sophia and her fiancé, Tino, detained (i.e., imprisoned) at the border. As far as I'm concerned, it's wild that I'm supposed to condemn Sophia more harshly than I do Frediano himself because he's equally selfish and commands far greater resources than a beleaguered twenty-something, pampered or not. Off-screen volunteerism doesn't compensate for a failure to consider his wife's needs and/or his people's, but I'm still expected to celebrate their union and their eventual coronation as a triumph.
I suspect that his late parents might serve as stand-ins for Harry and Meghan because he deploys the same tropes to describe the former that the tabloid press have applied to the latter. I don't consider myself a Royal Watcher by any stretch of the imagination; in fact, I'm invested in anticolonial politics and I'd prefer to see the monarchy abolished. Still, the resonance is hard to miss: his mother is only ever disingenuous, negligent, and attention-seeking and she, in turn, encourages his father to turn his back on his duty (as a son, parent, and royal) in favour of lies and self-promotion. I noticed that a couple reviews thought Frediano and Ilaria bore similarities to Harry and Meghan, so it's possible I've misread. Regardless, I spent much of the book hoping Frediano might revise his perspective of his parents. To be clear, I had no desire to recuperate their image and I don't mind that they're flat characters. It's not always possible or, for that matter, necessary to redeem the dead because some people leave only "wreckage" behind them and I think the genre could do more to acknowledge that. In this case, though, I wanted to complicate Frediano's worldview. The narrative doesn't want him to learn anything except how to love and it's impossible for anyone to demand more of the Crown Prince because unlike Ilaria, he can't take comfort in the knowledge of his parents' love or virtue. This childhood trauma is trotted out as a trump card again and again and I got tired. He wants to be a husband and more importantly, a king, but he doesn't care to grow. He understands his duty in terms of manipulation and control, rather than actual service, and his first loyalty is to his own family rather than his people.
For me, it's not enough that Frediano preserves the status quo as a "symbol" if he and his family don't address their people's needs. He's unwilling to hear the slightest criticism of his grandfather, let alone respond to it, so I don't think much of Frediano as future king. It disappointed me that Ilaria falls in line so quickly after she realizes Carlo isn't a cartoon villain and doesn't share any real intimacy with her dastardly uncle. With all due respect, it's possible to love one's family, donate to charity, and do harm ("one may smile, and smile, and be a villain," to borrow from Shakespeare). I don't understand the failure to take responsibility or the text's insistence that no one can or should ask them to do so. Even if Giovanni deceived Carlo and Frediano, it's standard practice to apologize, investigate, and provide ongoing support after a massive disaster and it's frustrating that Ilaria let them off the hook when they're complicit in her suffering. I lost respect for Ilaria because she doesn't hold onto the strong principles with which she began and I felt that her relationship with Frediano diminished her more than anything else.
As a bleak reminder that it's easier to become a tool for the establishment than to 'change it from within,' The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand couldn't be better. As a romance, though, it's a total mess.

**Review: The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand by Lorraine Hall**
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 out of 5 stars)
Lorraine Hall's *The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand* is a romantic and dramatic journey into the world of royalty and high-stakes emotions. While the novel offers a captivating premise and plenty of romance, it occasionally falls short in character depth and plot originality, resulting in a pleasant but somewhat predictable read.
The story follows Prince Gabriel, a royal figure who is determined to secure a marriage that will benefit his kingdom. Enter the heroine, an ordinary woman unexpectedly thrust into the glitzy and complex world of royal obligations and expectations. The tension and chemistry between the two lead characters drive the narrative, keeping readers engaged as they navigate their evolving relationship and the pressures of royal life.
Hall's writing is smooth and engaging, with a flair for creating vivid settings that bring the opulent royal world to life. The grandiose descriptions and the allure of a royal wedding provide a luxurious backdrop that adds to the story's charm. The romance is well-paced, with moments of genuine connection and passion that will satisfy fans of the genre.
However, the novel does have its shortcomings. The plot, while enjoyable, treads familiar ground with its arranged marriage and royal duty themes. Readers who are well-acquainted with royal romance tropes might find the storyline predictable and lacking in surprising twists. Additionally, the characters, though likable, could benefit from deeper development. Prince Gabriel's motivations and inner conflicts are touched upon but not fully explored, and the heroine's transformation from an ordinary individual to a royal bride feels somewhat rushed.
Despite these issues, *The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand* remains a pleasant and engaging read. It's perfect for those who enjoy romantic tales set in the glittering world of royalty and appreciate a story that combines love with the pressures of duty and tradition.
In summary, *The Prince's Royal Wedding Demand* by Lorraine Hall earns a solid three stars. It’s an enjoyable romance with an appealing royal backdrop, even if it doesn't offer significant surprises or deep character exploration. For readers looking for a light, romantic escape into the world of princes and royal weddings, this book is a charming choice.

January 20, 2023
Raised on the family farm by her beloved Grandfather after the tragic death of her father, a direct result of the criminal neglect of her uncle and the King, that she has hated all her life, Ilaria finds herself taking her cousin Sophia's place at an event where she is to tell the man she meets that things can go no further as she is not Sophia but another person and that the caller has made a mistake.
However, things go very South when Ilaria is faced with the situation where she enters a cathedral and stands before Ferdiano, the Crown Prince of her country and the setting is a private wedding .
The Prince, who craves control, is a total and complete jerk as he does not hesitate to use blackmail, threats, dominance, manipulation and, pettiness to get what he wants. He is simply infuriating to any reader that respects other people.
The author, by her talent and gift, has succeeded in stirring these emotions in this reader where one wonders if he or she should put the book down because one of the main characters is a certified a...ho..
or pick up reading to get to the end of this intriguing and enticing romance story.
I highly recommend this book and rate it 5 Stars.

It started okay. A woman looks like her cousin and agreed to a meeting with a prince so the cousin could escape her evil father and elope. Except the cousin neglected to tell her it was a wedding meeting, and for story (and silly) reasons the heroine doesn't announce who she really is until too late.
Okay. Decent start. Except it turns out the prince is an actually bad person, and remains so for pretty much the whole book. The heroine starts out as a fairly moral, and lower class person, but ends up losing that as the blackmail and threats led her to 'love' the prince. Plus the love was tainted feeling because he, and his government system, is bad.
I saw other reviewers suggested this was meant to be a historical and then slightly changed to modern times, but the prince was still bad, either way.

This is the debut novel for Lorraine Hall and it an entertaining, enjoyable read. Ilaria works on a farm and she is doing her cousin a favor when she goes to inform Prince Frediano that her cousin cannot make it. This gave Ilaria’s cousin the chance to go off and marry the man she loved. Ilaria finds herself marrying Prince Frediano to avoid a scandal. Ilaria is not to happy with the royal family as she thinks that they are in part responsible for the death of her father. Prince Frediano not wanting to disappoint his grandfather decides to stay married to Ilaria and working on hisf marriage.

Ilaria was helping her cousin out by informing Prince Frediano that her cousin wasn't able to make their appointment, and in the meantime allowing her cousin to sneak away and marry the man she loved. But what Ilaria didn't know is she was actually stepping in for her cousin and marrying Prince Frediano. Raised on the family farm by her beloved Grandfather after the tragic death of her father, a direct result of the criminal neglect of her uncle and the King. The Prince, who craves control, is a total and complete jerk as he does not hesitate to use blackmail, threats, dominance, manipulation and, pettiness to get what he wants. This was a good read.

Fun and fast story. I felt myself getting annoyed with both main characters, but I was able to make it through to the end which has been really hard lately.
Something I didn't like is that so many of the problems were caused by lack of any sort of communication at all. It seems a bit tired, to be honest.
But I also was really rooting for these two dorks to finally figure out their feelings.
My only other complaint is the name Frediano, it made me giggle because I am pretty sure it was a name from a character in the Muppet Show.

This story gave Princess Diana, Harry and Meghan’s vibes. I don’t know how I felt about Frediano and Ilaria’s relationship. It’s a short story, but I didn’t feel the attraction between them. It would’ve been nice to see Ilaria discover that her uncle was the true culprit behind her people not being helped after the great tragedy that left her orphaned. I feel like that was a loose end that needed to be tied.
All in all, it was a cute read.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Presents for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I found this story pretty unbelievable but still worth the read. It is sort of funny and I found it enjoyable. Giovanni the uncle is a slimeball. I did like Ilaria and found the Prince Frediano pretty arrogant. 4 stars
February 27, 2023
Of course, this sorry is somewhat far to be real but it is interesting and did capture my attention. The main characters are somewhat believable in this tale but the plot is a bit not believable but despite all this I did enjoyed it.
