Christmas Prince by R.J. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

This book is one in a series of Christmas Angel stories. This story is set in the small country of Montaunoit where Prince Rafael serves as the custodian of his royal history. At an auction, his eyes meet those of Marc, who is the curator at a museum in England. Entirely smitten, the Prince writes up a business proposition to hire Marc as the curator of the Montuanoit special collection, thus moving him in to his home, granting him access to Marc.

Marc is all business. He's made a life for himself and he's worked hard for it. So, if taking this position will earn him a feather in his cap, then he's going to do it and do it well. But he's going to have to watch himself because he's got some feelings floating around when it comes to Rafael and he's hearing things... murmurs from his rooms that are pointing him in the direction of the Prince.

I loved how this story had a sloooooooooow burn. It was short, sweet and everything holiday, yet I still got that epic will they ever get togetherflutter. Rafael was entirely too charming, as you would expect, but not in a hollow way at all. He was the perfect gentleman, yet we still got glimpses of his lusty thoughts due to the dual POV's throughout the story.

I have to say, I was impressed at the royal family and their comfort with the community. It was refreshing to see how much they loved those around them and served them with excitement and it really helped with the character development of Rafael, being that he had everything he could want, but was so grounded.

Such a great holiday story. And not one to miss. This should be added to your holiday romance collection.
