If these walls could talk…

Beautiful and vivacious Clementine Wicke has always had two passions: history and architecture. So when the dashing Prince Edward Ashton asks for her assistance restoring an old castle in the countryside, she’s eager to help—despite Edward’s obvious disdain for the stunning old building. It’s the job of a lifetime, one that will boost her family’s architectural salvage business. Assuming she doesn’t get distracted by the billionaire prince's smoldering eyes and fiery kisses…

Prince Edward may be entranced by Clementine’s beauty, but she’s also the most stubborn, opinionated, and frustrating woman he's ever had to deal with. Yet whenever she’s in the castle working by his side, the place feels warm and alive, rather than cold and empty. As their mutual attraction becomes impossible to ignore, Edward finds himself doing something he never expected: learning to appreciate the crumbling old castle, and the woman who adores it.

But when an unforeseen problem with the remodeling puts their new relationship to the test, both Clementine and Edward discover just how much they mean to each other. And they’ll have to learn to work together to salvage both the castle, and their love…

Leslie North is the USA Today Bestselling pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.

The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.

Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.

Clem, a restoration and salvage expert, is caught at a demolition site after hours by Edward, Prince of Sovalon, who she mistakes for a construction worker. As the story progresses they agree to disagree, compromises are reached, and just when a future may be in reach reality will come crashing down. Leslie North’s The Billionaire Prince’s Stubborn Assistant is a great opposites attract romance read.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author via Booksprout. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Prince Edward is a frivolous playboy and his father the king thinks it's time for his playing to end. Clementine loves old architecture and salvage materials, if fact, she and her family own a salvage business. When Clementine meets Edward there is immediate attraction. This is a good story of two opposites learning to compromise and find love.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Past is Prologue: A Tale of Love
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020
Life is filled with opposites—night and day, hot and cold—and in Leslie North’s romance, The Billionaire Prince’s Stubborn Assistant, the oppositional pairs are Prince Edward Ashton, a modernist, and Clementine Wicke, a preservationist. From his earliest days, the message that Prince Edward had received from his father, King Hansen, was that to move forward into the future, a man—a country—must “leave the past in the past.” And, as a dutiful son, Edward had embraced the values and insight of his father, turning his views to the future, seeking to reject the past, and to embrace a modern, progressive view as superior. And while the conveniences of modernity, electric lights and reliable indoor plumbing providing both hot and cold water, garner both admiration and comfort, for Clementine Wicke, the act of tearing down the past was a crime—forever breaking the connections of the present from one’s past heritage.

And so, when charged with the restoration of a decaying castle, Prince Edward was out of his comfort zone and knowledge base. He needed help. When overseeing the demolition of a decrepit nineteenth century building which had been an important schoolhouse in the history of Sovalon, he had no concerns about the loss of the building tearing the fabric of his country’s past. Rather, he was pleased with the re-appropriation of the land for building structures that would be examples of environmentally-friendly modern architecture. But, he is stunned to be verbally challenged by a crowd of displeased citizens challenging the royal vision of a modern Sovalon. How could the citizens not understand that he was improving life in their country, not destroying it? And, his plans of moving forward with new, modern construction are threatened if he cannot complete the renovation of the decaying castle to prove to the people of Sovalon that he is not oblivious to the country’s past. And so, when he stumbles upon a “theft” in progress as the “thief”—preservationist Clementine Wicke gathers the discarded, soon to be destroyed and lost forever, decorative pieces of wood trim and plaster from the building slated for demolition in the morning, he finds just the person to help him appease the citizens of Sovalon’s desire to preserve the past while he tries to move the country into the future.

North invites the reader, as she weaves the tale of opposites learning to blend their visions of past and future, to open their minds and their hearts to opposing forces, learning to co-exist with shared compromise, and to see through the eyes of love.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review ARC, but I enjoyed the reading experience so much that I bought a copy for my “read again” collection.

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020
Prince Edward, the oldest of the heirs of Sovalon is a proud progressive. Ever looking forward to newer, bigger and better the future King of Sovalon, under the tutelage of his father, are focused on being among global leaders in technology and architecture for the people of the kingdom. What better way than to increase their portfolio by tearing down relics of the past and moving into the modern era of condos and shopping malls!

Clementine aka Clem is an old soul... literally! Clem is a lover of all things antique and classic. The architecture of the past speaks to her soul through ever artifact that she "rescues" to share the nation's history with the citizens of Sovalon. Clem has her eye on the castles of Sovalon to rescue as much as she can from them... especially with the Prince being so determined to tear them down!

One night... Edward is shaken to find a woman who rattles him to his soul. Sassy, independent, educated and principled Clem rocks him in a way he never thought possible. The fervor of the people and the historical society clamor to let the royals know they are not pleased with the destruction of their history and who better to help him get the royal family out of their snag than Clem?

Clem is overjoyed to be able to show Edward just how important their country's history is. Everything in Clem is charged with the plans to restore a family castle but that's not the only charge she's getting from this job... Edward is HAWT!!! What is she going to do I mean he is her boss and a Prince!?!?! There's no way they could be together... could they???

I absolutely enjoyed their story and all of the players in it. We never know just how far when we step out be open to all that life has for us. You never know you could learn that you can have everything you ever wanted and more. Take the leap!
