I was doing SOOO good at not requesting too many ARCs and getting overwhelmed and reading them at the very last minute..and here we are. Here's Nora Phoenix's "The Prince and The Player." It's the first novella in her Prince Pact series.
["I’m determined to win over the one guy who hates me…but I never expected to fall for him
Being a prince may seem like a fairytale, but to me, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. That’s why I’m excited when I get permission from my uncle—the king of Norway—to go undercover as a student at an American college for a year. And I’m even more ecstatic to be selected for their football team. Soccer, I mean. The only problem? Farron, the team captain, dislikes me on sight. Determined to win him over, I start a charm offensive, but nothing works. He only hates me more.
Until the animosity comes to an explosive release…and we end up kissing each other. How did that happen when neither of us has ever been attracted to a guy before? Farron wants to let it run its course and get it out of our system, but I doubt that’ll work. I’m falling for him hard, but he has no idea who I really am. I fear that if he finds out, he’ll never speak to me again…"]
Ha! I love that Tore has "one year off" to himself, plans to go to the States for a year abroad, and picks Ohio, of all places. Ohio. I mean, I guess if you're trying to be incognito, Ohio is a good place to pick.
It's also a good place to pick if you want to find yourself a grumpy soccer captain with a strong sense of family. And your very own not-a-prince prince charming. Though, it took Farron a while to go from grump to charming. ;)
These two were adorable and utterly smitten for each other, even if they got off on the wrong foot, even though they were from different backgrounds, even though they made me cry a time or two. They were sweet and soft for each other, and totally completely in love.
This one felt a little different, compared to Nora's other works. But I'm not complaining. I loved it! And I can't wait for the other prince's to get their own HEAs.
