The Prince with Amnesia by Emily Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Violet’s sure of three things:
• Its senior year and its time to date
• She’ll have to lie to do it
• She wants to date the hot new guy – Kai
Kai’s sure of three things:
• He has amnesia
• He’s recuperating in secret in America
• He wants to date Violet
Ever dated a hot guy with amnesia who turns out to be a prince in disguise?
- Welcome to Violet’s senior year.

This is a really cute novella. What I love is how realistic it is. Ok, so the situation may not be, but the way the characters react to their circumstances and the emotions they go through, are. I thought Evans did a wonderful job shining some light on the dimly lit side of royalty, or any public figure really, that’s subject to the public eye. Everything is about perception.

Unfortunately, it is perception that rules Kai’s life. Who he can hang out with, what he can do, who he can date or possibly even marry? The list goes on and on. All these things have been chosen for him, up until his accident. A blessing in disguise, that he doesn’t even know he has, Kai now has a chance to see what it’s like to be in control of his own destiny. Recuperating in Texas, Kai doesn’t remember any of his life as a prince. Finally free to make his own choices, he wants the one thing he can’t have; Violet, no matter how much Violet may want him in return.

I’m always a sucker for forbidden love, and this story certainly delivered. It’s wonderfully written and is a fun, light read. You can really feel the pull and tug between these two, and it's interesting to watch how they mature by the end of the novella. It's romantic, sweet, and it's heartwarming. A definite recommend.
