The Wild Heir

Magnus is the heir to the Norwegian throne, and this time he fucked up bigger time than usual. His parents give him an ultimatum : if he wants to be king one day he must make up for his mistake and get a new perfect public image. In other words he must get married to another blue blood princess of Europe. He chooses Isabella, princess of Liechtenstein, as it seems completely surreal to do such a thing when he doesn't even know any of the princesses and didn't think about getting married before. She is not thrilled by this marriage of conveniences when she has so much other plans for her life. But Magnus is clearly more and more interested and decided to make things work between them...


Currently in Norway for my studies I just had to pick it up and, boy I did not regret it ! This book is just what I needed and didn't know I needed. A story about a marriage of convenience can just not work but Karina Halle just blew my mind with this book. The story has just the perfect pace : not too fast but not too slow to the point you are just praying for something to happen.
Magnus is sexy, funny and romantic in his own way, the prince you crave for ! Isabella is just smart enough not to be a miss know it all or completely stupid. She also has the right balance between innocence and sexyness, she is not the young virgin waiting for the perfect man in her life.
The whole story is just a perfect balance between sexy parts that are not thrown in too soon, romantic parts “escalating” as they start to know each other. The characters are funny without being goofy.
I just wished the plot twist of the story was a little sooner in the story but it was not so bothering neither. Just a book with a perfect balance to make it short !
