REVIEW: Carrying The King’s Pride by Jennifer Hayward

In Carrying The King’s Pride by Jennifer Hayward , One last New York night with Sofia Ramirez is all Prince Nikandros Constantinides allowed himself before returning to Akathinia, after a dreadful accident took his brother’s life. But before the royal rebel is crowned, Nik discovers that he didn’t leave Sofia behind alone!

In a baby’s heartbeat, Nik turns Sofia’s world upside down and whisks her away to his Mediterranean kingdom. Dissolving a politically perfect engagement is not what Nik—or his country—had in mind, but this proud prince will do whatever it takes to legitimize his new rule…with a wife and child!

Carrying The King’s Pride by Jennifer Hayward was a well written romance with a well constructed storyline and likable characters. The unexpected pregnancy trope was handled well.

Nik is an alpha hero who does not show his emotions easily. He was a jerk sometimes but I liked how his character changed and grew as the story progresses. Sofia is a heroine who is conflicted between doing what is best for her and what is best for her unborn child. She is the direct opposite of Nik and wants something more from him than just his ring on her finger. I found her compassionate, loving and the perfect woman to show Nik true love.

The romance is compelling because the characters share an amazing chemistry and I was hooked early on. Overall, Carrying The King’s Pride by Jennifer Hayward is an enjoyable romance and a must read for everyone who loves this trope.
