Romance, royals, and second chances – what more could readers want from a modern love story wrapped up in a fairytale? In Nancy Herkness’s second installment of the Royal Caleva series, we travel again to the island nation of Caleva where romance ignites not for a prince but rather for a king. After King Luis discovers that he has a grown daughter, he plans to bring her to Caleva and into his royal family. However, there is one big problem with this plan – his daughter was adopted by an American named Eve, a single mother who is not at all pleased by the turn of events that have complicated her simple life. Soon love blossoms between Eve and the king, but she is an unsuitable choice for a queen, and he has vowed that he will never marry again. Will new love conquer the kIng’s past so that he might finally have a storybook ending?
What sets Royal Caleva: Luis apart from typical romances for me is Nancy Herkness’s ability to create older main characters that hold modern sensibilities but still yearn for old-fashioned passion. Luis, a silver fox with a witty sense of humor, must defy social conventions and traditional ideas about class to find true love. Eve, a divorced veterinarian technician, must overcome her suspicions concerning Luis’s intentions for her and their daughter, Grace. Even the villain of the piece, Odette, a vindictive former lover of the king and a particularly loathsome subject, is also well-drawn. And, of course, what would any proper romance be without a setting that stirs the senses like the exotic locale of Caleva island? I wholeheartedly recommend Royal Caleva: Luis for all women (and men) of a certain age who still believe in the restorative power of love.
