It 's a wonderful story. One in which i could relate too. What i read through this story captured my heart fully. It also spoke of the experiences which i am going through.

two best friends, whom had a bond like no other. A friendship which was and is unique. The chemistry is so true and pure, a relationship that outshone other relationship and marriages. prince Stefan relied on the person whom he knew he could trust and who always had his back. the person who was there for him no matter what. She sacrificed everything for him and would assist and help him in anyway which could make him achieve what he wanted. Victoria thought she had gotten over her feelings - her love - for him but it was just dormant until faced with the person whom she loved for years.

The love didn't rare it head to her then but just a brief touch of lips and it was at the forefront. Even if it took them a while to actually accept and see that they were meant for each other just as friends and soo much more they found their way.

Love this story, its been a good influence and help. Also a good inspiration for my book which i'm working on ( )

Very good book. I really liked both Victoria and Stefan. They have been friends since they were teenagers. When Stefan found out that he had to be married in order to retain the crown for his small country he went to Victoria for help. They felt that they could handle six months of a marriage of convenience and still maintain their friendship.

Victoria was a really strong heroine. She had recently broken off her engagement to a man who had betrayed her on several levels. She was tired of being looked at with pity by people and treated as if she were going to break by her family. When Stefan called and asked her to come to Galini Isle she was happy to do so. She was stunned by his proposition and afraid that it would ruin their friendship if she went along with it. But she allowed herself to be convinced and said yes. She had always had a bit of a crush on Stefan and wondered what it would be like to kiss him. She was floored by the intense reaction when she did kiss him and soon their physical relationship had taken off. I loved the way that their close friendship and given them a degree of intimacy that you don't often see. It also didn't take long for Victoria to see that she had fallen in love with Stefan. She was sure he loved her too but just didn't know how to admit it and had decided to stay in the marriage. Then she found out he'd been keeping secrets and her feelings of betrayal went very deep.

Stefan was a pretty good hero. I liked the way that he had kept up his friendship with Victoria for so long. He had also been attracted to her for a long time but had never acted on it because the time had never seemed right. She was the first person he thought of when the marriage requirement came up because she was a friend. It didn't take long for him to convince her that they could handle the deception. I liked the way that he was so happy and relaxed with her. He knew that there was something different about their relationship after they took it up a notch, but he would never admit that it was love. He tried very hard to convince himself that it was still friendship with a side of lust. He had no familiarity with romantic love and wasn't able to recognize it. When his secrets came out he realized what he had done and had to try to figure out how to fix it and finally admit his feelings. I loved the way that he finally showed her how he felt.

I also liked seeing her brothers from the other books. The epilogue was great for seeing the final bit with the whole family together. ( )
