Book Description
He’s the royal spare with a reputation. She’s the cosmic wild card he never saw coming.
Prince Falkor Rullok-Myka has spent his entire life in second place—second to his brother, second to his planet, and probably second in his parents’ hearts. So, why not lean into it? He’s got charm, status, and a reputation as Kaldor’s “Prince of Scandal.” If he can’t be their favorite, at least he can be unforgettable.
But his latest misadventure—where, for once, he’s actually innocent—lands him in hot water. To repair the damage, the king issues an ultimatum: marry the human woman caught in the middle of the mess…or else.
Karma Kennedy isn’t charmed. She came to Kaldor for a fresh start and spiritual clarity—not to marry an arrogant alien prince with perfect hair and a smirk she wants to wipe off his face. She doesn’t care that he’s royalty. She doesn’t care that he’s gorgeous. What she does care about is escaping this forced marriage and getting her life back.
The plan? Stay married just long enough to save face then go their separate ways.
But fate isn’t letting go that easily.
As the days pass, Karma’s tarot cards start predicting a future she refuses to believe. And Falkor? He’s seeing a woman who might finally put him first.
In a marriage neither of them wanted, they might just find the love they’ve both been searching for…if they stop fighting destiny long enough to let it happen.
My Review
Karma set her sister up on a dating site, Cosmic Dates where females from Earth sign up to find alien mates and now, she's married to the prince on an alien planet. Her sister is happy and she's happy for her but now Karma wishes she was as happy. One thing getting on her nerves is her new brother in law's brother, Prince Falkor. When they met there was a misunderstanding, and they haven't gotten along since then.
They actually find each other attractive and if they would just stop being so snarky to each other, they might find they like each other too. So, when a lightning storm strands Karma at the same hotel Falkor is staying at, he offers to let her stay in his suite for the night. But the tabloids even on an alien planet are unscrupulous and start a scandal. So, the King and Queen- his parents, take this opportunity to make them see that they are perfect for each other and orders them to get married. Karma and Falkor settle for a 1-year marriage and after that time they can divorce and go on about their lives, but after spending time together they find that spark that was there between them the entire time and fall hard for each other.
Of course, just when things are going well for them there's a betrayal and a misunderstanding that keeps them apart for a while. People jumped to the wrong conclusion really fast, and it comes between Falkor and Karma. Will these two have a chance at a forever love and happiness? I liked the ending and thought this book and this romance was fun.
I really enjoy all of the books I've read from Cara Bristol but I was really looking forward to this one when I found out the prince's name was Falkor because my dog's name is Falcor! You know I just had to read this! I'm glad I did because it was a really good read.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
