About the Book



"Lady Marianne 'Ryan' Daventry was betrothed to an obscure French prince when she was just a baby. Years later, the young prince entered exile and was never heard from again. Lady Ryan considers the betrothal off; she can hardly marry a dead man. Now another French royal has inherited the princedom and he claims the old betrothal still stands--with himself as the bridegroom. Rather than fight the cruel new prince, Lady Ryan sets out to reveal him as an imposter. She needs only to locate the original lost prince and prove he's still alive. Prince Gabriel d'Orleans is still living, but he's very difficult to find. He goes by the name of Gabriel Reign and lives in the forest, working as a horse trainer for wealthy clients. He's hardly a pauper, but he's also not a prince. His life in the woods conceals his true identity and keeps him safe--but also alone. Using an old childhood letter as her only guide, Lady Ryan sets out for Savernake Forest to find the missing prince. When danger thrusts them together unexpectedly, Lady Ryan is shocked at his rustic life and his commitment to his new identity. More shocking is her fierce attraction to the rugged horseman. Meanwhile, Gabriel never planned to be discovered and he certainly never planned on falling in love. But passion has a way of upending the most careful of plans, and even the strictest boundaries are no match for a love story that is meant to be."--



Book Synopsis



USA Today bestselling author Charis Michaels continues her delicious Hidden Royals series with a rugged prince living in exile and his long-lost bride-to-be, who comes to find him.

Lady Marianne "Ryan" Daventry was betrothed to an obscure French prince when she was just a baby. Years later, the young prince entered exile and was never heard from again. Lady Ryan considers the betrothal off; she can hardly marry a dead man. Now another French royal has inherited the princedom and he claims the old betrothal still stands--with himself as the bridegroom. Rather than fight the cruel new prince, Lady Ryan sets out to reveal him as an imposter. She needs only to locate the original lost prince and prove he's still alive.

Prince Gabriel d'Orleans is still living, but he's very difficult to find. He goes by the name of Gabriel Reign and lives in the forest, working as a horse trainer for wealthy clients. He's hardly a pauper, but he's also not a prince. His life in the woods conceals his true identity and keeps him safe--but also alone.

Using an old childhood letter as her only guide, Lady Ryan sets out for Savernake Forest to find the missing prince. When danger thrusts them together unexpectedly, Lady Ryan is shocked at his rustic life and his commitment to his new identity. More shocking is her fierce attraction to the rugged horseman. Meanwhile, Gabriel never planned to be discovered and he certainly never planned on falling in love. But passion has a way of upending the most careful of plans, and even the strictest boundaries are no match for a love story that is meant to be.

I loved this book. It was just the thing to read while sitting outdoors in the warm Spring sunshine, sipping on lemonade. Taking historical fact, the French Revolution, with anyone remotely connected to the French King and Queen becoming targets of the people, families sending their children and others out of France for their safety, and pairing it with historical fiction, specific children being sent to England to wait out the revolution, Ms. Michaels weaves a tale that's worthy of a few hours of your time. This book is about Prince Gabriel d’Orleans and Lady Marianne Daventry, aka Ryan. Their fathers were lifelong friends who betrothed their children when they were not even teens. Now Gabriel is presumed dead and his cousin is sniffing around Ryan, saying he now will inherit the betrothal since his cousin isn't around. Since the property will go to Ryan's husband once they're wed, Ryan sets out to find Gabriel. Reclusive Gabriel, wants nothing to do with Ryan, but their shared past and the affection that he felt long years before, overrules his need to stay solitary. Ryan has just about given up getting Gabriel to show himself and prove he still lives. Many swoon worthy pages later, with Ryan understanding the need Gabriel has to stay hidden, and Gabriel realizing he must be the man Ryan thinks he is, they work together to reclaim each others hearts and prove Gabriel is alive. This is book two of the Hidden royals trilogy, but I had no issue reading out of order. Having said that, I have since purchased, read, and loved book one! I can't wait for book three.

4.5-5 Stars! This is the 2nd book in the ‘Hidden Royals’ series and can be read as a standalone. The main characters are Gabriel & Lady Ryan. I really enjoyed both of them & loved the dual point of view in the book. The main characters from book one are in this book often and I loved the little look into their lives now. I couldn’t help the smile on my face when the royal siblings met again after years! I did want a little more of a conflict in the book but it was still entertaining and enjoyable. A scared prince, a damsel in destress who tracks him down, tons of chemistry, the princes sister & her adorable family, an imposter and a cave/cabin with an indoor waterfall? Yes, please! No wonder the prince didn’t want to leave! An indoor hot spring waterfall and no other people around? Sounds like paradise! Definitely loved this book & really can’t wait for the third & final book in the trilogy to come out next. Highly recommend this book and book one, although this one can be read without reading book one first. *I received this book at no charge & I voluntarily left this review.*
