Prince
Magnus is not only a warrior but head of his people’s security force. The fact that he was unable to save his
parents weighs heavily on his mind.
Feeling unworthy, Magnus does not plan on claiming his aheri, but he
never expected to meet someone like Archer either.
The
second book in the Ro yal
Mates, Love’s Diamond series, Prince
Magnus and the Carpenter,
furthers the story of both the Ro yal
family and the problems on Sanzel. Prince
Magnus has more than the normal issues surrounding the deaths of his
parents. It is easy to understand why he
feels the way he does and those feelings lend an air of reality to the story. Where Magnus is tough, Archer is a gentle
soul, the result of brain trauma received after his father beat him. Archer is the perfect aheri for Magnus, as he
helps Magnus realize that he is not to blame for his parent’s deaths. Archer also lends lightness to the story with
his innocence. The connection between
them is just as strong as that felt by Merek and Vance in the first book. But unlike the first couple, these two did
not come together easily and I found myself close to tears when Archer tried to
remove Magnus’ name.
While
Prince Magnus and the Carpenter
takes place at the same time as the first book, there is only a small crossover
scene and it is told by the point of view of Magnus and Archer. Like the first book, there are many secondary
characters in this story and the author also gives you a look at the next
couple in the series to get their story told.
New problems on Sanzel are revealed as well, and there is a twist that I
am sure not many will see coming.
