Review

Leslie’s wonderful writing is set in a world of realm princes, baristas, evil fae, wood nymphs, and more.

Kalle and Justice are such wonderful people and have such a sweet bond, even if they don’t understand why. As they embark on a quest to find Kalle’s brother, track down Justice’s stolen memory, and help negotiate peace amongst the realms, they find something tender and lovely, and far bigger than they could imagine. Along the way, we meet all manner of beings and creatures.

It’s a great world that’s been built - and who doesn’t love princes and baristas?!!

Synopsis

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.

About Leslie McAdam

An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it's Top Gear. Or football.

Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she's not in the writing cave you'll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.
