Rothman Royals #4
Christmas with a Prince
I might be a former party girl and the over-indulged daughter of a multi-millionaire, but for the last few years I've been trying to be work hard and be good. I have enough right now to deal with--graduate school, my community literacy program, preparations for Christmas, and my dad's constant attempts to find me a husband. I definitely don't want to put up with Henry always hanging around, acting obnoxious and looking far too sexy.
My boss forced me to take on Henry as a literacy volunteer for the month of December. I don't know anything about him except he's from somewhere in Europe, and he's spoiled, entitled, arrogant, stubborn... and incredibly hot. He's the kind of guy I've been trying to stay away from. Plus he's got a secret--something he's hiding from me.
Now I can't think of anything but him, and I'm stuck with him until Christmas is over.

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is the last book in the series and is a really sweet read, but the lead man was a bit too soft and sweet for my liking. Yes, he stood up for himself, but he was a little bit too sensitive for what i like too read. April also fell a little flat for me, and she was always having trouble trusting herself and by extension those around her.
It was a light read, just like the rest of the series, it very lightly mentions god and gives a pleasant ending as expected with the rest of the books from this author.
It was a decent book, but i'm not sure that i would pick it up again in a hurry.

Prince Henry is the last of the Rothman Children to find a spouse. When he travels to America to visit his sister he meets April.
April is a reformed party girl and daughter of a rich man. She does whatever she can to keep herself on the right path to prevent ever going back to the way she used to be. She loves the work she does with the kids at the community center. Which is where she meets the new volunteer Henry. At first he irritates her because somehow he was able to start volunteering without her know and she is in charge of all volunteers, but there is an underlying attraction she tried to fight, until he continues to be very persistent.
Henry has something he is not telling April, and once it comes out, you have to wonder how she will react. It was a very sweet story with lots of Herat warming moments. I loved reading Henry and April’s story and seeing where their journey took them. A great addition to the Rothman Royals Series!!

A sweet christmas themed romance including royalty, all sweet and soft.
Yes it is somewhat cheesy but that's ok since it's all about christmas.
Henry is a mysterious volunteer who turns out to be a prince actually. And handsome. If its just wasn't for the Schatzi-thing, which I really hated.
April is lovely but her attitude towards Henry in the beginning, totally annoyed me. I did like the insecure former wild child, though and how she opens up later.
This makes a lovely little holiday tale and I'd love to read more of the Rothman Royals.

April is a reformed party girl and a daughter from rich man. She have tried to keep her clean life for three years. No drink. No party. Just finish her philosophy degree and help children community.
Then, came Henry. He is handsome, flirtatious and he is a type man who April have been staying away. April know if she accept Henry, she will lost control. So, no matter cute and sincere, April must stay away from Henry.
But, Henry is hard to resist. In some ways, Henry understand why April decline his offering to drink. Henry understand why April want to take slowly. But Henry hide his real identity which make April insecure came. April ask Henry to give her time for her to search what really matters to her. Henry understand although he see this as a April to not want to talk him more. But Henry try to be patient.
This story is good end for the series. I like how Lisette, Victoria and Amelia help Henry by talk with April. And the ending is good.
3 stars

This book was so cute! I love a good romance, and especially one that happens in the snow and at Christmastime.

A very sweet story that really warmed my heart with a all these cute and romantic moments. It wasn’t really a Christmas book that made you long for snow and Santa but it a really lovely story.

This is the fourth book in the Rothman Royals series and after having seen his three sisters happily married off it's Henry's turn to find the woman who will be his princess. It will certainly make his mother happy and because their royal family is low on funds, marrying into a wealthy one would be ideal. In fact, she finds a candidate who would be perfect, and after seeing the woman in question, Henry decides so too. But he hopes to have her meet and like him as a man, and not a prince.
April spent years perfecting her party girl image but after a rude awakening when her father had a heart attack three years earlier, she put those days behind her, dedicated herself to being clean and sober (including regular AA visits) and headlines a literacy group at a local community center where she meets Henry. He's a volunteer, but a bit mysterious and the more she gets to know him, the more she likes him. Discovering who he really is though makes her question his motives. Does he really love her, or is she a convenient means to solve his money and marriage problems?
I've enjoyed all the books in this series and eagerly awaited Henry's turn! He's a sweet, sensitive and good man, and one can understand why he'd want to keep his real identity a secret from April so that she'd get to know him without all the royal trappings. He's also a generous and skilled lover and they share some sexy scenes together. April is admirable for her desire to keep herself on the straight and narrow and being with Henry is a bit scary for her because the strong emotions she feels around him make her feel a bit out of control - and she knows where that can lead. The conflict that comes up is predictable and well handled, and in the end they get a lovely and suitable happy ending, including a sweet epilogue. It's a great finish to the series.

Light-hearted romance with a secret identity theme between a reformed party girl and a prince
Christmas with a Prince is a cute Christmas themed light-hearted romance with a secret identity theme between a reformed party girl and a prince. This is a quick and somewhat fast paced romance with just enough tension to keep things interesting from start to finish. While this is the fourth book in the series it can be read as a standalone.
Told solely from April’s perspective, there is an instant attraction between the two, albeit they skirt around things for a little while given April’s insecurities and secrets that are kept. I would have loved to see Henry’s perspective but he was portrayed as being as sweet as expected from the previous books in the series and familiar faces pop up once again to add a nice familiarity to those who have read the series.
This was a good end to the series and I would recommend it to romance fans looking for a quick read with just a little sexiness and not too heavily Christmas themed.
*I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of these books. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

Rothman Royals is a series about the Rothman's, the Royal family of Villemont, a small European country near the Alps.
The first three books were about the sisters, Amalie, Victoria and Lisette, the Princesses of Villemont and how they fall in love and live their happily ever after. It is not easy because of their Royal family but their stories are so sweet, emotional and lovely.
Now we get to know the heir Prince Henry and his story to discover love with April.
April is not an easy task... She had troubles in the past with drinking and partying, but she is strong enough to walk away from this life and now she is finishing her Master at the University and is managing a literacy program.
And then she meets this stubborn, arrogant and handsome guy named Henry, who conquers her entirely.
April and Henry story is a beautiful Christmas tale and it is unique, nothing like you ever read before.
They are strong and stubborn, but they are gentle souls who just want to be happy.
The whole series is a great reading and they are all basically novellas. A great reading for a Christmas morning.

I have been eagerly awaiting Henry's story, and it was just as good as I hoped! I had just finished a fairly heavy book and knew I wanted to read something fun. This certainly fit the bill. This entire series has a light and fun feel, even though the stories do have some angst in there. I really enjoyed Henry "Under cover" and understood his motives for not sharing his full identity with April. He is so earnest and heartfelt that you can't help but love him. April was a great heroine. She made mistakes in her past, but she owned up to them and turned her life around. You can't help but feel for her and cheer for her. They really made an excellent couple.
I loved the trip to Valeria and was so excited to see the 3 sisters! I wouldn't have complained if there was a bit more catching up with them, but that's because I'm greedy :)
Overall, a great end to a fantastic series! I'm sad this series of novellas is ending, but at least it is going out on a high note!

A Rothman prince
April is getting her life back on track and with it comes meeting volunteers from all over. Some like her. Some for other reasons. So meeting Henry had her wondering about his reasons. Especially the way he made her feel. An instant attraction she wasnt ready for. Plus there's more to his life then he's ready to reveal right now....
I enjoyed the conclusion to this series. I have loved each book and very excited to read this story- although I took my time getting to it because I wasnt ready just yet to say goodbye to this family.
I'm glad I finally jumped at reading this. A sweet romance, with steam, cute banter and a women getting over her past and her insecurities to take a chance. Plus a handsome royal- what's not to love.
Although I am sad that this is the conclusion and would encourage an update on these couples say a few years later so I can see them all with kids. I liked the ending.
Henry is a good guy who will help April with every thing that comes along.

It pains me to only give this book 3 stars, but I had to. I was waiting for Henry's story and I truly loved his character. My problem was with April. I just could not connect with her. I understand that she went through a lot growing up and that she was changing her life. I also understand that she did not want to fall back into her old ways. But I didn't feel that she needed to be suspicious of Henry from the beginning. I really didn't understand what he had done to make her feel that she could "possibly" revert back to those ways.
If anything, I thought Henry was a gentleman to her and to everyone at the center where he was volunteering. Ultimately, towards the ending of the book, I started to like April a bit more, but unfortunately, that just wasn't enough for me.
I love Noelle Adams' books and she is a wonderful writer, I just couldn't get into this book.

Okay, but could be better
I really like Noelle Adams' books, especially the Rotham royalty books. I was very disappointed that despite the other 3 books being in the princesses' points of view, rhis book was NOT in Henry's (the Prince). I was really looking forward to learning more about Henry. After reading this book, I still haven't learned anything about him. It was all from the girl's point of view and all about her life and her feelings. We never learn anything about Henry. It is all very superficial. This is a book about lust, having a crush. Unfortunately, I don't feel it is about falling in love. She didn't learn anything about Henry except he was a Prince and neither did we. While it was an okay read, I was unsatisfied reading it.

I've read the other books in the Rothman Royals series, so now I am very excited to finally read Prince Henry's story!! He is the last of the Rothman's to finally find love. This time with April, who is the daughter of a multi-millionaire! The timing of this story was perfect, because Prince Harry just got engaged to a non-royal, just around the holidays!! I love reading holiday romances, and this certainly got me in the mood!! Thank you, Noelle Adams for another great story!!

4 1/2 stars.
Have been looking forward to Henry's story and it didn't disappoint. It is a fast paced read and doesn't drag at any point. Liked that the book had a epilogue that showed how April had grown stronger as a person. It was nice to see the sisters as well. Hope there is a book about them all perhaps 5 years down the road.

I think this is my least fav book of the series. It was a lil too insta lovey for me. YES it was a fun read but it annoyed tf out of me most of the time. I expected more from this..

I did not like this. There were some problematic elements in the relationship and it just moved too fast.

April is a reformed party girl after her father had a heart attack three years ago. April is determined to stay sober by attending regular AA meetings. She also headlines a literacy group at the local community center for children where she volunteers. This is where she meets Henry.
Henry is volunteering at the community center, but April isn’t too happy about this to begin with. He was vetted by the higher ups due to his connections. April finds Henry attractive but also sees him as obnoxious. But Henry is persistent and he really likes April and they end up spending a lot of time together.
However things get complicated when she finds out who he really is. She wonders at his motives, especially because her family is wealthy and his isn’t. Does he really love her? And can she really be a princess?
I have really enjoyed this series. Henry is sweet and dependable and makes a great match with April. This is a great conclusion to the Rothman Royal series and was great getting to see Henry interact with his sisters.

So… Unfortunately, I can’t say I loved this one. In the previous books, I’d grown to really like the main male character, Henry. He’s a prince of a fictional European microstate.
He seemed adorably normal, a really sweet older brother. In this story, though, he’s very cocky, smug and I really didn’t like him. I do understand it’s an attitude, but I just really put me off. April, the female lead, is a bad girl gone good. But still, I couldn’t truly feel sympathetic towards her. I feel she’s so easily impressed with Henry, just because of his looks. I just can’t get behind this one, even though I liked the first three books SO MUCH.
I couldn’t really recognize the Henry of the original series in this book, and that was very disappointing.

Henry was such a sweetheart. He melted my heart with how hard he tried, and how earnest he was.
The heroine was a little too bitchy at the start, but settled down.
I love romances that start with friction and retain the flying sparks even after they’ve stopped hissing at each other. This definitely delivered!
