Christmas Prince Kindle Edition
The love story of a lonely prince, the man who steals his heart, and the magic of a snowy castle at Christmas.
Labeled as a playboy Prince, Raphael has done many crazy things in his life but commissioning a new museum to employ a stranger as a curator may top them all. For him, the game began in London when he outbid Marc at a Sotheby’s auction, but what started as a misguided attempt at flirting ends when Marc confronts him and tells him home truths that cut deep. No one has ever stood up to Raphael before, and it’s enough to have him questioning his role as the youngest son of an ancient royal family. He wants to be a better man, and if he happens to fall in love on the way there, then that’s just perfect.
The threat of losing his job means this could be the worst Christmas of Marc’s life. Not only has he been outbid on a piece of history to a prince with more money than sense, but his career at the British Museum is now on the line. When the same prince offers him a dream position, his first instinct is to refuse out of principle, but he knows he can never turn down being part of a team that reveals centuries of hidden history. His professionalism turns to horror when he discovers that he’s not part of a team at all and that Raphael—call me Rafe—is determined to shadow his every move. Hours alone in the castle archives start frosty, but when the ice melts, the magic of Christmas could lead to love.
Christmas Prince is a standalone, opposites attract, Christmas M/M romance with a lonely prince, a stunning castle in the snow, a touch of magic, and a beautiful happily ever after.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018Christmas Prince is a wonderful holiday story. Prince Rafe and museum curator Marc have amazing chemistry and the entire story is a joy to read. From the opening at an auction to the epilogue I was entranced. Ms. Scott provides amazing descriptions of the surroundings and it is very easy to fall into this fairy-tale land of Montaunoit. If you enjoy Christmas stories, this is one to not miss.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2021Magical romance and Christmas wrapped up in one story. Between the story, the characters and, a magical angel this is the perfect way to put yourself in the holiday spirit even after
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018A mysterious auction lot brings together two unlikely men. Both make a memorable first impression inspiring Prince Raphael to create an opportunity for a second. When interest grows into caring and slowly becomes something deeper it'll take courage for Raphael to admit he wants more and an openness from Marc to convince him that love is worth the change.
Marc was rather rigid in the beginning and while he was different in the end, I didn't really see that process. The Marc we got right in the beginning and the one we got near the end seemed like different men and yet I really enjoyed them both. The one we got in the middle, however, didn't bridge the gap; instead, he felt like he was stuck in the in-between and didn't know how to get from one point to the other. Overall, he caught my attention in the beginning, bored me in the middle, and caught my heart in the end.
Raphael, on the other hand, was a bit more textbook in terms of the playboy royal who's confused by his deeper, different feelings for Marc. I actually disliked him quite a bit in the beginning because of his predictable attitude and manipulations. I would have liked a bit more of the friendship he shared with Victor to round him out a bit more. What wasn't really present in the story was his ultimate "coming around" moment and what we got was through Marc's perspective when Raphael finally confessed to what he wanted for them. It was a rather anti-climactic moment, actually.
The story felt longer than it was mainly because there was quite a bit of back and forth that didn't seem to be progressing the romance or the exhibit Marc was brought to coordinate. There was an excess of minutiae and yet most of the progress felt glossed over. I also felt like the main conflict couldn't really be decided upon. Was it the complete honesty and transparency of the monarchy's history? Was it the disparity between Marc and Raphael's social standing? Was it the meddling and jealous curator from the British Museum? Was it their individual insecurities? By the end most of those issues were all touched on but only a little. I can't say that I wanted a big conflict, a big misunderstanding, or even a separation prior to their confessions, but it did feel overly simplistic despite all the intimated frustrations from the beginning of the story.
By the end of this review it probably sounds like I didn't like this book and that couldn't be farther from the truth. Despite both men's failings and the general feeling of ennui while reading, there were some magical and insightful moments as well as a very sweet ending that made up for all the feels we lacked in the very long middle. I enjoyed where Marc and Raphael ended up, I would have liked to see more emotional tension and introspection to give it depth and the emotional punch it needed.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018I would rate this 3.25 stars.
It starts slow with a convoluted way of putting Marc Chandler of the British Museum in the sphere of Prince Raphael-Alessandro Milland of Montaunoit, youngest son of the House of Berneux. There is a lot of explaining as things get set in place to put them in a position of working together on a gallery project for three months. This part of the world building, while interesting, didn't match the tone for the rest of the book. Rafe has lived his whole life in the public eye and is used to getting what he wants as well as guarding himself with a persona. Marc is that guy that doesn't seem to realize he's attractive; he's practical, works hard, and doesn't dream too big. The interactions are fun as seen from alternating POVs to set up an fun enemies to lovers scenario, although there is not a lot of that as they are attracted to each other instantly and things go pretty quickly. For Rafe the issue is trusting someone to know him, not hurt his family, and actually sticking around to work through a real relationship beyond just the sex. For Marc, he doesn't know why a wealthy, gorgeous prince would want to keep him; he doesn't see how it would work out. Of course, their day to day life at the palace could be their day to day life forever, but they need a nudge.
I actually could have done without the angels. As a modern day fairytale, this works quite well. In fact, I think the angels where used instead of character development. The end is a bit abrupt as once they both decide to be together, we get an epilogue. This is a fluffy Christmas love story, set in a beautiful fairytale palace, with snowy landscape, by the sea with a quaint village where two men with a passion for history fall in love and have their happily ever after.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, sweet and christmassy. Loved it.
Book seven in a seven book series. I read this first but I’m looking forward to reading the others too.
The first of my Christmas reads this year, and I loved it. Marc the not so timid nerdy museum curator and Raphael the Prince of the people. Throw in the suggestion of a ghost, a very definite voice that isn’t theirs, a mysterious box of artefacts and you have the makings of a gentle love story with Christmas as the backdrop and family secrets in the front. The epilogue is beautiful and I might have shed a little moisture. Lol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable
A lovely Christmas story. The prince's declaration was a bit of a damp squib but the epilogue was gorgeous. I'd have happily read a much longer version of the epilogue.
- Le-JanaReviewed in Australia on May 7, 2022
4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars.
I must say that I was a little disappointed with this story. I liked the beginning well enough - young museum curator all set to bid on a particular box of various items, finds himself out-bid by a particularly good looking guy who he knows is a prince. A gay prince. There is frustration, anger and sharp words are spoken when the two of them meet fleetingly. And there’s the hook.
The story, as Marc and Prince Rafael get to know one another as they work together on the artefacts in the Princes Castle, is quite enjoyable, and I liked the idea of a royal secret that must stay a secret.
What I did find disappointing was the way that Marc and Rafael’s story was so quickly wrapped up. We don’t get to share their good news with their families, there is no mention of how their families react to their news, no mention of how the British Museum reacts to Marc’s news and is he still even employed by the Museum? I felt short changed. Another 50 pages was needed to tie up the loose ends.
The other disappointing aspect for me was The Angel. This story is the seventh book in a series by various authors about an angel, lovingly carved in 1752 by a gifted carpenter as a token of love. In each story, moving forward in time, the angel, after working her magic in bringing love to two men, mysteriously moves on, or is found again to work her magic on another couple. In the sixth book, it finishes with the Angel deliberately being left in Italy, so that she may be found once again to weave her magic. This occurs in 2005, just 13 years before the date that Marc and Rafael meet (1999). In all the previous stories, the Angel is almost a character and she has a presence. But not so in this book. I felt quite sad for her that she wasn’t acknowledged in anyway apart from Marc and Rafael thinking their imagination is making them hear voices. What I want to know is, what happens to the Angel now? Has her story come to an end. Is she going to languish in a dark box in a princely castle only to be brought out once a year at Christmas time to grace the royal tree, with her keepers not even realising or appreciating just how she had helped people find love down through the ages? Is that all she is reduced to now, just a Christmas ornament?
I just hope that she uses her magic so that she is found again to bring love to another couple who will appreciate her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Christmas romance
I've just finished reading this delightful series and thoroughly enjoyed all of the books. There is a seventh one, The Magician's Angel, but I couldn't find it in hard copy and didn't want to read it electronically. Most of the books are novellas of just over 100 pages. My favourite titles were Soldier's Wish and Shrewd Angel, because they were longer and allowed more time for story and character development—216 and 294 pages respectively. I would have liked to see UK spelling used for the stories set in England and Commonwealth countries for greater authenticity because we not only spell differently, but pronounce differently, too. Highly recommended as light, easy-to-read Christmas romance stories.
