A sweet story
This was well written and certainly entertaining. The main characters were relatable, the sex scenes hot, and the plot pretty solid. An enjoyable read.

Scandal with a Prince was one of the free books on my kindle that I found through bookbub. That means that I dont expect it to be one of my favorite books or anything. This is the Story of Megan and Prince Stefano who met volunteering in Venezuela one summer. When they part ways they don't expect to see each other again. But Megan finds out that she is pregnant. When she tries to contact Stefano she is unsuccessful. Then she finds sees the news that he is getting married. Assuming he just didn't want to talk to her she stops trying to contact him. The book starts 10 years later when they run into each other again.
The chemistry is still there for Megan and Stefano but he doesn't know he has a daughter named Anna. When Megan tells him they have a lot to work through. Soon Stefano is meeting his daughter for the first time and they are all figuring out their new lives. Being a prince Stefano has obligations and paparazzi to deal with. Megan does not want Anna to have to deal with the media and expectations that come with royal life.
I enjoyed this book as a light easy read. It wasn't the best book ever but was pretty cute. After the previous series I read it was a good choice. I enjoyed Stefano the more we learned about him. And Megan was a nice independent character whose life did not revolve around a man.
When I started the book I thought, ok this might be pretty good. Then it took a dip in the middle. Not bad but not as good as it started. And then it was starting to get good again and all of a sudden it was just over. The dip in the middle started when Stefano and Megan had sex on the third day back into each other's lives. That kind of took away from getting to know each other. That sucks for the reader because Stefano and Megan knew each other a long time ago and we didn't get to see that and then missed it again when they ran into each other.
The thing that was missing the most was Anna. I would have thought that Stefano and Anna would want to get to know each other more. In the book it did not show them spending a lot of time together. Honestly I didn't like Anna that much. At least we don't get to know Anna enough. Since Anna was a major plot point with the whole didn't know I had a kid thing, you would think that she would be in the book more. The few times we see Anna and Stefano interact they don't seem excited. I'm sure they were but I did not feel it.
It wasn't my favorite book but it was still nice. If you want the typical contemporary chick lit easy read then this is the book for you. I recommend it to anyone who wants that type of book. Or if you just finished an intense book this is a good palette cleanser type book.

Your typical Harlequin read: short and enjoyable, but predictable.

A very enjoyable read! Megan, Stefano and Anna are fantastic characters. I loved the plot twists when I expected A to happen, but B or C or D happened instead!

Second chance, secret baby, and a prince. I couldn't resist this one after reading the description. After a brief fling they go back to their separate worlds. A chance encounter brings them together 10 years later. Stephano wouldn't mind picking up where they left off, but Megan has some big news to share with him. News she had wanted to share ten years ago, but she was unable to reach him. I love Stefano. He's a good guy and wants to do the right thing, even though he is an insanely rich prince who has certain obligations. I was a little disappointed by the ending. It was a little abrupt and felt unfinished. Other than that it was an enjoyable read. I'd love to check out the next in the series.

I just kept thinking, "Lady X sipped her champagne as the sun's golden orb crested the horizon." It's a little overwritten. But the plot is fairly tight and the locations are fun. The characters too painfully perfect to be truly engaging, but they're likable enough. I don't regret the hours I spent reading it, and if your taste runs more to luxurious settings and clean-shaven, well-dressed heroes than mine, you might enjoy it a lot.
