***political romance and stand alone romance***

Arwen is a young girl who has moved to Brussels a few weeks ago in order to study art. Immediately she got herself a boyfriend, whose name is Collin. He seems to be attached to her, but she’s not seeing him as seriously as he is.
One day she visits a local gallery and there she meets an older handsome man, whose name is Ethan. Arwen has a mission though. She needs to find her father who abandoned her when she was 10 years old and she believes that she can find him through art and specifically through a painting that is a part of their family. Ethan seems that he has connections and he is willing to help her find him.
What happens when life is full of coincidences and things get messed up?
There is something really wrong with me. I'm forty-three, for Christ's sake; there are other women out there, but out of all of them in this world I want my elf princess.
I was really intrigued by the synopsis and when I started reading the book I was very curious. What was going to happen? Was she going to find him? What would happen with Collin and Ethan, especially after the big revealation.. (view spoiler) So many questions about the relationships in this novel and how they developed.
Sadly, the writing wasn’t really compelling and at moments it seemed choppy. I can’t say I felt connection to the characters and her secret wasn’t really a big one, since I had realized it from the first moment. Also, him calling her 'his elf princess' it got boring after the 100th time. I wish it had been better because it had potential and I liked a couple of scenes in the book. Other than that, it was just an okay read for me. Hopefully it will work more on others.
