Synopsis: Thanks
to a philandering father, ad exec Emily Rodgers knows happily ever after
doesn’t exist. Relying on a man only leads to heartache. She takes care of
herself, and work defines her life. But Emily soon finds herself in the hands
of a real-life prince who defines the words charming and sexy. Not to mention
reckless. If Prince Lucas doesn’t find a royal bride, Emily’s dream of being
named a partner at the advertising firm will die.
Luc’s fun-loving ways have made him a magnet for scandal. His father gives Luc an ultimatum—find a wife on a reality TV show or be disowned. Rules require him to marry nobility, but after he meets the uptight American sent to find him find a princess bride, his search for Cinderella might be over. Too bad Emily wants nothing to do with him. Perhaps he can show her that fairytale endings can happen in real life…

My Review: I
received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Have you ever
read the storyline that goes something like….king tells son that if he doesn’t
marry within a certain time, he will lose his inheritance? Yeah, I think I’ve
read that one too, a few times. It’s a great fallback storyline when you don’t
have any fresh ideas. However, that’s where the similarities end. Now the
author puts that storyline into modern day, and not just any modern day, like
literally, it could happen today. It’s the prince that makes the tabloids with
his wild antics and partying hard lifestyle. Of course, tabloids don’t always
show the real truth, only snippets of what they think the juiciest gossip is
that will get people to buy the magazine. Add in a reality show to find a royal
bride, which is probably the most unrealistic part of the entire book, and you
have a storyline that will keep you reading. Both Emily and Luc find themselves
shafted by their circumstances, and it’s this storyline that truly helped me to
finish this book. Overall, it’s a fun little read to get away from reality for
a little while, but don’t take it too seriously.
