BLURB
Felix
Things I expect to find at Gadleigh Castle:
- Rare stained glass, the subject of my dissertation.
- Peace and quiet, to finish said dissertation.
- An escape from the paparazzi swarming around my starlet mother’s latest blockbuster release.
Things I don’t expect to find:
- A hidden door leading to a secret room.
- The most gorgeous man I’ve ever set eyes on.
- Love.
Lio
Things I know are expected of me in life:
- One day soon I will become the King of Liorland.
- I will marry a nice woman who will become queen.
- I will provide heirs to my family’s monarchy.
Reasons that might be difficult
- I’m gay.
- I’m falling in love with Felix Wilde.
- He has no idea I’m royal.
While it can definitely be read on its own, Felix and the Prince is the second novel in the new Forever Wilde series about the huge Wilde family from Hobie, Texas, whose patriarchs aren’t above a little meddling if that’s what it takes to help their grandkids find true love. Beware: nekkid man parts touch. Let's just say, Felix gets royally screwed in the very best way.
EXCERPT
It wasn’t my place to interfere with how he made his life decisions. And, quite frankly, it wasn’t even like me to get involved in discussions about someone’s personal business. I tended to keep myself to myself, but for some reason, it rankled me to see Lio so upset. It was almost like an itch under my skin. I sensed his discomfort and frustration and wished like hell I could fix it for him.
“I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to push. It’s really none of my business.”
Lio’s hands snuck up the back of my shirt, and I felt my skin prickle at the touch of my bare skin.
“No, Felix. I’m the one who’s sorry. It’s just a shitty situation, but it’s nothing new. I’ve known this was coming for a long time. I’m having a hard time accepting it; that’s all.”
“So, what’s your plan, then?”
He shrugged and looked past my shoulder to the fireplace. “Go home, grow up. Marry a nice woman who’ll make a fine mother to my children.”
I felt my stomach pitch into my throat. The very idea of him marrying a woman just to appease tradition made me want to throw up.
“Seriously? You’d do that?”
Lio’s forehead leaned against my chest, directly over my heart. I brought my hands up to brush through his thick hair.
“I don’t have a choice, Felix,” he murmured. It was so soft, I almost didn’t hear the words over the snapping of the fire. “It’s what I was born to do. I’ve always known that was my path.”
“That’s not exactly fair to the woman involved,” I grumbled, grasping at straws.
“Maybe not. But whoever signs up for this will obviously be getting a lot out of the bargain.” His voice held sarcasm, and I knew he’d spent hours upon hours in his head trying to justify his future actions.
“I guess so.” It was all I could think of to appease him and let the subject drop. I wondered if there was a way I could get him out of his head and out of the funk he’d fallen into. “Will you take me to bed, Lio?”
When he lifted his head, there was a sexy smirk on his lips and a hint of relief in his eyes.
“Hell fucking yes.”
4.5 Stars
Felix heads to Gadleigh to study glassmaking and finish his dissertation. There he meets a fellow vacationer staying at Gadleigh, Lio, whom is actually the Prince of Liorland. Lio has escaped to Gadleigh to try to get his head around the fact that his father is stepping down and turning the throne over to him. What he never expected, was Felix or to fall so hard for him. Can he have Felix and his throne too or will he have to choose?
This was a sweet story and I really loved both Felix and Lio and their chemistry was off the charts. The progression of their relationship was pretty instalove, but it worked for them. The story is well-written and I loved getting to see Wes and Nico, but I especially loved revisiting Doc and grandpa, who I absolutely adore. I also loved Hen, Lio’s sister. She was such a great support system for both Lio and Felix.
This was a lovely story filled with so much passion and love. Very enjoyable and highly recommendable!
