REVIEW: A Secret Heir to Secure His Throne by Caitlin Crews

An absolutely fascinating tale Caitlin Crews weaves during A Secret Heir to Secure His Throne; which revolves around the Royal secret baby troupe.

The story commences in such a way I was interested to find out why Madelyn was trudging up a mountain to call in on King Paris Apollo. She was arriving unannounced and clearly not wanting to be there. Claire was happy to be dismissed after her half hearted attempt at following the orders she’d been given. Paris Apollo’s entrance to this wonderful story really set the tone. He was drop dead gorgeous with a hint of danger shining through his aura. This was a man not to be messed with.

So one moment I was fascinated with absolutely no idea what I was being led into, only to be stunned and shocked when Madelyn announces to this stunning King who outwardly appears to have absolutely no memory of her, that he has a five year old son and she is the mother. And so commences an adventure that is trademark writing from one of my faves, Caitlin Crews.

Madelyn and Paris Apollo fell in love as students 5 years ago. Their affair was brief but the love and lust was instant. Misunderstandings threw them apart. Years later when Paris Apollo’s ministers have tried everything they can think of to bring their King back to their people. Paris Apollo hasn’t just been hiding away, he’s been plotting revenge on those responsible for killing his parents. Madelyn coming back into his life unexpectedly throw a curve ball into his plans but very quickly it’s a blessing to the plans. And not remember Madelyn? You can 100% bet your life he has not forgotten the love of his life.

A passionate, exciting, thrilling and wonderful adventure as only Caitlin Crews can craft, the 2.a.m bleary eyed determination to finish the story was worth every moment.
