Tessa is a beautiful, tiny, dark-eyed princess who's given up her duties to follow her heart, working for nothing backstage at the Viennese opera. No one there knows who she really is, or that a fairy-tale castle is missing its princess, and Tessa is determined to keep it that way.
But secret lives can be complicated, and when a wealthy, handsome Englishman discovers this bewitching urchin backstage, Tessa's two lives collide -- and in escaping her inheritance, she finds her destiny.

Lovely YA storyline. Tessa, the 20 yr old MFC, is a covert princess, who loves theater, is good natured and selfless, independent & strong willed. That hooked me in from the beginning. Guy is the MMC, orphan to self-made finance mogul who never veers from his roots, strong yet sentimental and somehow finds time in his busy life to help those he's acquaintance of whether it be financially, via sound advice or a warm meal.
All the other reviews tell you about the plot so i'll just skip the recap. I will say the writing was elaborate and gave me a feeling i was actually touring the streets of Vienna, in the rafters above the Opera stage or walking the castle grounds. At some points it was almost too verbose which is ironic since the ending was so rushed my mind was left spinning. Because of that i gave it: 4.25⭐️; 0
