"THE PRINCE WITH A HOLE IN HIS HEART was a humorous, erotic fairytale."
In the Kingdom of Aviator, King Otto was finally
blessed with
a son. His son, Evander, most have the best training;
therefore,
he got experts to see to his upbringing. Cadian saw to
Evander's
mental growth, Galen saw to his physical growth, Willie
Wraskel saw
to his spiritual growth. Unfortunately, the king didn't
know that
Willie was something of a con artist. When he was eighteen, Evander began to grow depressed
and wane. The king called his experts to examine Evander.
Willie, thinking the prince needed to loose his virginity,
told the king that the prince suffered from hole in his
heart disease. Willie said that the prince would only heal
once he found his heart's desire. The king decides that
Evander needs a wife and sends Willie and Evander on a
quest for a
suitable wife. THE PRINCE WITH A HOLE IN HIS HEART was a humorous,
erotic
fairytale. I wouldn't classify it as a romance, because
the hero
doesn't meet the heroine until almost the end of the book.
There
is little development of the relationship between the hero
and
heroine. However, the characters of Willie and Evander grow
and
learn lessons, which serve them well in the end. Overall,
I found
THE PRINCE WITH A HOLE IN HIS HEART rather amusing but
wished it
contained a lot more romance.
