mehsi's review against another edition
5.0
I received this manga from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I just have to say I am loving that cover. I love the roses and the details on the clothes. Then there is the blurb, and oh my. A prince who needs a bride, but then falls in love with the matchmaker (and she with him). Eeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Um... "Prince Stavros... why are you cutting it off at age twenty-eight?" "Because I want kids. Three, ideally." Um, women 28+ can still get kids you know. :P
Oh, and hilariously, on the cover our girl has green eyes, yet on the colour pages she has blue eyes. Mmmmmmm. Curious.
I had a laugh at the idea of the prince. He wasn't that happy with the matchmaking, sure, he wanted the girls, but he just wanted to go on dates and not just a few minutes here and there of conversations. And I totally agree. I loved his idea though: "What if we just put up posters around the country? A castle, tiara, title and a small island! All this can be yours if you marry the prince."
Aww, he wants to get to know her! Ship ship shippppp! Can I say I much like this Jessica more than her stiff and business-like matchmaker self. Of course, she has to be professional, but what is wearing here is still pretty fancy. Also she keeps wearing some gorgeous dresses throughout the manga, I just wanted to step in and ask her wear she bought them so I could get them as well!
*sniffles*Aww, that part made me sad. So she can't have children due to what happened to her in the past. Poor girl. :( I can imagine that the prince may not like that if he does fall in love, but I am also optimistic he can get over it. There is always the option to adopt a tiny human.
*snickers* Haha, he now has no interest in the girls Jessica picked because she is so sexy to him (he likes her legs). And they are getting closer and closer, I just wonder who will make the first move. They are so adorable together and I am rooting for them to get together. They would make quite the pair. Whoooooooop, he makes the first move! Yes! As I was already hoping. *swoons*
I am sorry, but her face during the reveal of what was going on with her. I laughed. Because it looked so out of place. More like a horror instead of a confession in a romance manga.
OMG, he researched. For her! Awwww. *swoons some more* And he is so sweet with his thoughts. He is pissed at Jessica's ex husband, and he wants to make her happy without hurting her. OMG. *sniffs*
Oh my! Drama and more sadness. Run after her boy! Do it!
I am not crying, I have something in my eye. That was a beautiful and heartbreakingly gorgeous ending. Wow.
"Oh, Stavros... I always thought there was something wrong with me."
"There is nothing wrong with you. You were made for me. That's why we found each other." *cries*
Well, this was just perfect. I loved EVERY bit of it. The art was fabulous (OK, maybe a bit awkward at points). OMG, this was just amazing. Highly recommended.

Either I'm burning out on these or they are just OK.
I don't want to give it a 4 star because it wasn't fantastic but it was a good read.
