Runaway Prince Hotel Book 4: Prince of the Northwest Forest by Leslie McAdam

 

Runaway Prince Hotel Book 4

If the forest prince is straight, why does it seem like he wants to kiss me? And will I end up regretting it if I let him?

I spend my mornings working as a barista and my afternoons hiking in the woods trying to find a way into the realm of the fae. Those tricksters stole something from me, and I want it back.

Then I meet Prince Kalle, who has a wicked scar on his face, a sword at his hip, and the rare ability to talk to animals. We form an easy friendship, in part because he’s searching the woods for something, too: his missing brother.

Kalle is tall, dark, handsome, kind, and not into men. I tell myself to smother my budding attraction to him, which is especially difficult to do when our quest has us sharing a very small tent.

Am I just imagining that he’s sending me mixed signals?

Regardless, I need to leave him alone. If Kalle doesn’t find his brother, he’ll have to marry the princess of a rival realm to save his forest from destruction. But losing him might destroy my heart.

Is there any way Kalle won’t have to choose between saving his land and subjects … and me?

Prince of the Northwest Forest is a lower-angst, spicy, male/male urban fantasy romance. Prince Kalle and commoner Justice trek through snowy woods wearing hooded cloaks and carrying lanterns … and maybe falling in love along the way. Expect cute animal sidekicks, cozy visits to the cottagecore homes of wood nymphs, firecat attacks, and revealed secrets. It’s book four of the Runaway Prince Hotel shared world series, where magical royals find love over a cup of coffee. HEA guaranteed.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Prince Kalle has always done his duty for his realm. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make his subjects safe. But tensions are rising between neighboring realms and an alliance through marriage is what his parents think is best. But when his brother Mats disappears a few days before his wedding, Kalle must find him. Or else he will be the one set to marry in his stead. On his search he meets Justice. Who he can’t help feel like he knows him. There is an ease between them and Justice feels it too. But Justice has his own issues. The Fae stole a memory from him and he is determined to get it back. For years he has felt like something has been missing. Because depending on the memory, anything associated with it disappears as well. Justice just wants to find it and gain that missing piece back. But the more he spends with Kalle, the more he wonders if he needs it. Not when Kalle makes him feel this way. But his feelings may not matter in the end. Not if Kalle has to marry someone else. Together, can the two of them find what they are looking for and the gain the future they always hoped for? Really enjoyed Justice and Kalle’s story! This is definitely a fun new world with so much left to explore. I loved Justice and Kalle’s connection and was so glad these two got a chance to be together! I also love the few twists and turns this story had. Great story! Can’t wait to explore more of this series.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
