Twice upon a Time (Smitten)

by Kate Forster

Cinda’s backpacking trip takes an unexpected turn when she meets gorgeous, fun-loving and incredibly wealthy Ludo in Italy. Suddenly, Cinda is thrust into the heady, glamorous world of the super rich, and she’s hanging out on yachts and villas all over Europe. It’s the ultimate summer fling – what more could a girl want?
It’s only when Cinda meets Gus, Ludo’s equally gorgeous twin brother – and heir to the Sardinian throne – that she starts to realise true happiness is not just about how much you party. And that true love can be found in the most unexpected places.
Both princes are determined to win Cinda’s heart, and one of them will throw everything away to be with her ... but will it be the right one?

It's been far too long since I've read a fun, flirty and romantic contemporary, and Twice Upon a Time was the perfect heartwarming read. It follows the story of Cinda, an Australian backpacking through Europe when she's swept up into a world of royal princes, lavish parties and brooding brothers. Cinda is a fun loving character, she's vivacious and isn't afraid to speak her mind, a quality that both Gus and Ludo both find irresistible. But under the surface, Cinda hides a sadness that even a luxurious lifestyle can't repair. Even though she's technically an adult, her mother has abandoned her for yet another man. This time, her mother plans to marry a man that Cinda has never met, move to New Zealand and entertain a new family that doesn't involve her only child. But Cinda doesn't dwell, and although hurting, she carries on and makes the most of the opportunities life is throwing her way.

I loved Jonas. He's the token sassy gay friend and budding fashion designer. He's fabulous and would love to read his story next. If you're looking for a light and heartwarming read that will sweep you into a lavish world of travel, then Twice Upon a Time is a flirty read that will leave you warm and fuzzy.
