5.0 out of 5 stars Such a beautiful story!
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017

Having read His Ballerina Bride and the story of Artem and Ophelia Drake, I couldn't resist jumping into a story revolving around Artem's brother, Dalton. I knew this story would be good, and it definitely ran the gamut of feels for me!

I feel this is a sort of reverse Cinderella story in that Dalton is Cinderella, though maybe this is riches to riches? He's still wealthy, but his social status is below that of Princess Aurelie of Delamotte. But of course, the heart wants what it wants, and these two want each other.

As I've mentioned in other reviews of Teri's books, I love the vulnerability she infuses in her characters. Aurelie is Princess Jasmine stuck in her gilded cage and dreading an arranged marriage. But her foray into NYC and meeting Dalton changes all that.

The road to true love is of course not easy but the ending is oh so satisfying. I also loved the cameos from Artem and Ophelia, and I enjoyed meeting their sister Diana who will be the focal point of the final installment of the Drake Diamonds series. You can bet I'm diving into that story with as much enthusiasm as all of Teri's stories!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017
Good book. Aurélie is a princess on the run. She desperately wants a chance to live a little before undergoing an arranged marriage to a much older man. She disguised herself as a courier and accompanied a collection of jeweled eggs to New York, where they will go display at Drake Diamonds. She also brought another treasure to use as the incentive to gain Dalton's cooperation. Dalton's world has revolved around Drake Diamonds for most of his life, even affecting his one attempt at marriage. Aurélie's arrival throws his well-ordered life into complete turmoil.

I really liked Aurélie. She suffered a blow to her outlook on life when she learned the truth about her parents' so-called fairy tale marriage. I liked how she took matters into her own hands and seized the chance to do what she wanted while she still could. I thought her methods were creative. I really liked when she came face-to-face with Dalton and stated her requirements, and didn't back down when he tried to intimidate her. It was sweet to see her enjoyment of the little things like eating a hot dog and shopping for vintage clothes.

I liked Dalton, too. He's a workaholic who has always put the company first, even though it cost him his fiancée, but he unbent enough in the first book, His Ballerina Bride, to help Artem win Ophelia. He's surprised when he is confronted by Aurélie, and hesitant to put his arrangement with her father at risk. It was fun to see him try to keep her under control and failing miserably.

I enjoyed the development of their romance. There are sparks flying between them from the start, but both have good reason to resist. Aurélie because she knows she will have to go home and marry, and Dalton because he swore never to put another woman at risk because of his behavior. I loved how helping Aurélie with her wishes began to pull Dalton out of the shell he had built around himself. He stunned everyone around him by actually ditching work to be with her. Aurélie was able to forget what was waiting for her when she was with him, and discovered that she was happier than she had ever been. The attraction continued to build until neither could resist it any longer. I loved how Aurélie seized her chance with such enthusiasm. The connection scared Dalton a bit and he started to pull away. A family crisis intensified his need to avoid more loss in his life and he continued to push. I loved that Aurélie stepped up to help in a different crisis, which brought the two of them back together in an intense encounter. But an unexpected arrival the next morning brought everything crashing down and sending Aurélie back home. I ached for Dalton and his misery at her absence and loved seeing his sister point out the obvious. I loved Dalton's solution once he made his decision. There was still an expected twist waiting for him before he could carry out his plans and I loved what it was. The ending was great and I loved how Aurélie proved to have more courage than she expected. I'd love to see more of her and her new future.

It was released yesterday on Amazon and I read in one day. So sweetly written. Loved having places for the Drake siblings as well. Anxious for the third book in the series. Thank you Teri Wilson for bringing this couple to life.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a logical response.
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018
When Aurelie Marchand, royal princess, learns her father has arranged her marriage to an older man, she does the logical thing. She replaces the courier in charge of transporting the principality’s priceless jeweled egg collection to New York.
Dalton Drake is all business, all day, every day. But something shifts inside him when Aurelie presents his store an opportunity to display a previously secret royal jeweled egg. In exchange, she wants to spend a few days with the freedom of an average New Yorker.
Pearls. Diamonds. Puppy. And oh….a kiss in the back seat of a hired car.
Ms. Wilson has written a sexy little romp that is good medicine for a rainy day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Roman Holiday but with a HEA
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018
I got this book in a Facebook giveaway (thanks Teri and Sarah Maclean). It was such a fun read - think Roman Holiday but in NYC with a HEA. The final chapter has a terrific proposal scene. It’s been a while since I’ve read a Harlequin romance and I enjoyed this one thoroughly.
