Book Blurb

Catherine has spent her life being the perfect princess. She’s kept her hands clean, her head down, and most importantly—men at arm’s length. After all, most men are after only one thing, and for Cathy there’s a lot more at stake than her bed; she has to worry about the fate of an entire nation. But at the rate she’s going, Cathy is afraid she’ll give the Virgin Queen a run for her money. She is tired of waiting for someone good enough to come along. She has a plan, and it all hinges on seducing the one man who seems utterly unimpressed by all things royal. The one man she is tempted by more than any other . . .

When David arrives at the royal wedding of his friend, the newly ordained Duchess Samantha Rousseau, he expected to feel uncomfortable and out of his element, but he wasn’t prepared to be targeted by Prince Alex’s gorgeous younger sister. With Cathy’s giant blue eyes, killer figure, and sense of humor, it won’t take long before he gives in. But when he finds out just how innocent the crown princess really is, will he play the part of knight in shining armor or the dashing rogue?

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Sam and Alex are headed to the altar and Princess Catherine has been helping with the plans. She adores her sister-in-law to be and couldn’t be happier with Alex’s choice. The couple is extremely happy together and Sam is a breath of fresh air in Cathy’s life. Cathy is a bit envious, however, knowing she probably won’t have the same in her life. It is difficult to find someone who sees the real person instead of the crown. Sam is a one of a kind girl and Cathy isn’t optimistic that there is a man out there for her.

When David arrives early to help Sam out with her bird sanctuary while she is on her honeymoon, he had no idea he would be mistaken for a stripper by a tipsy princess. He instantly grins and starts unbuttoning his shirt.

Cathy is mortified when she figures out who he really is, but decides he might be what she needs right now. He is drool worthy and a one night stand is what she has decided is best.

Unfortunately when her emotions get the best of her and the paparazzi try to get in the way, things get complicated quickly. Cathy is afraid she will scare David away with the reality of her life.

This is the second book in the series and it revisits the royal family. In the first book Samantha became a whirlwind that set the royal family on its ear. In this book Princess Catherine is coming into her own and going after what she wants, finally.

David is a strong character who isn’t afraid of a little, stressful royalty. They are a great pairing. The author created excellent chemistry and a sigh worthy partnership between the two. I give it a 4 out of 5.
