Jewel of a Romance Read

Crown Jewels by Ella James was a very enjoyable read and it is packed with lots of goodness and steaminess which kept me hooked and I couldn’t put this book down. Prince Liam is one hunky dream male lead character and he was one that kept me fascinated with him throughout the entirety of this book. Though he was at first described as a playboy prince, when he met Lucy he is so caring and protective towards her. I love the dynamics between Lucy and Liam. Theirs wasn’t an insta-love romance but there was instant attraction and it was pretty hot! Lucy Rhodes is a sweet heroine and her introduction into the prince’s life came at a time when Lucy’s personal life was imploding. Lucy had this horrible incident happen to her and in order to overcome it, she had to branch out and move on, even though she wanted to try and hide from it all. From the very beginning of the story, when the reader is introduced to Lucy, she has already separated herself from the reality show that has made her and her family famous. She has made her returns to the Hamptons which is where she runs into Liam, who is known as the playboy prince and he is found in a compromising position and Lucy figures all the talk about him is true. Later she is at a party and a face from the past upsets her greatly which makes Lucy wonder if she is doing the right thing in trying to get out and live again after what happened in the past. I felt so bad for her and was rooting for her to overcome what happened to her. She was so traumatized and it made me wonder what all happened to her in the past. So there is that intrigue factor going on. So when Lucy and Liam end up having this one night stand in the bedroom , it makes this a believable situation and the emotions going on between these two reads real and true. Prince Liam is more than what meets the eye. At first he comes off as a huge playboy but there is more than meets the eye with Liam. His charm and kindness along with care for all of those around him ends up endearing the readers towards his character more. As the story builds and steams along, the chemistry between these two is off the charts, but the story is still more than sex. We get to see compassion, care, and genuine concern for the well-being of the other. The plot of the story really starts after a one night stand ends up with an unplanned pregnancy. But there is oh so much more going on. There is something more going on with Prince Liam and that is the real story with the pregnancy the 2nd story line. I loved how both stories ended up consolidating into one. The story is very refreshing and the plot was woven very well. There is intrigue and suspense and there is tons of passion and romance. I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend this story. My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
