My review: This was another Nora Roberts book that had two romance stories in one. So I’ll review them separately and then compare the two.
The first one “Bennett,” or, “The Playboy Prince” was not as
good as “Camilla”, or, “Cordina’s Crown Jewel.” Both stories take place within
a fictional country named Cordina and Bennet is a royal prince and Camilla is a
royal princess. Bennett is Camilla’s uncle.
The Playboy Prince really confused me. The two love
interests, Bennett and Hannah, didn’t suck me in as much as Camilla’s story, or
even any other Nora Roberts romance. I was confused as to what Hannah’s purpose
was within the Cordina palace. I wasn’t sure if she was on their side or not
(Hannah is sort of an undercover agent who works for her country and also works
as a double agent for the enemy, Deboque). However, it wasn’t until halfway
through the story that I really realized she was not working solely for the
enemy. However, that could have been my own incompetence. Harhar.
Overall, I liked Bennett’s story though. There was more
action and adventure than I was used to in a Nora Roberts novel. It was sweet
and not totally overdone. It didn’t feel like she was trying too hard.
Camilla’s story on the other hand simply blew me away. I
LOVED it. Basically Camilla takes a break from here palatial life and goes off
on her own to try to tough out her own life. Moving from town to town until she
gets into a car accident and the grouchy, yet sexy, Dr. Delaney Caine picks her
up and gives her a place to stay until her car gets fixed. He also gives her a
job and slowly they get to know each other even though Del stays grouchy and,
at times, unresponsive. Obviously, they begin to develop feelings for one and other,
but Del still doesn’t know that she is a princess. And the rest? Well read it
to find out. I just loved their confrontations with each other and enjoyed
reading about the two of them. There was never a dull moment.
If you love romance and royal prince and princesses than you
should totally pick this up. These are actually the third and fourth books in
the Royals of Cordina stories. I can’t wait to read the first two!
See you soon!
