Customer Reviews

Fast paced fun! Highly recommended

Awakened at five in the morning to the sounds of his sister asking him to baby-sit his niece for two weeks, workaholic Sean O'Mara cautiously accepts, despite the four-year-old's perchance for trouble. While ill prepared to care for Melissa, Sean sees his sister's opportunity to further her career with this flight to England too good to pass up. Only two days turns his house into a war zone with piles of laundry and no sleep, so when a prospective nanny arrives to relieve his burden, Sean gratefully hires her. Little does he suspect this princess has manufactured references, no work experience, and a strong desire to experience middle class suburbia.Runaway Princess Carlyne Fortier answers the ad for a nanny in complete disguise, including heavy cosmetics, heavy clothing, thick glasses and colored contacts. With her face plastered all over the tabloid's front pages, she's determined to pass as Carly Fortune. Little does she suspect the conundrums her disguise will create for both herself and her employer. Carly quickly learns the joys of being accepted on the basis of one's merit rather than one's social position. Sean finds her wildly attractive despite the artificial disguise, sparking a strong response in the princess. Further, Carlyne will find she loves life living as Carly and learn how much Sean hates any type of deception. Author Jill Shalvis pens a lighthearted, amusing read in A PRINCE OF A GUY. Sean sees the world in terms of true or false, and falsehoods offend him terribly. Such a black and white world view clashes with a woman who needs to disappear to find herself. This quirky princess lacks practical experience with young children, and Melissa puts her to the test with her inquisitive nature and fierce determination. Indeed, the four-year-old threatens to steal the show with her knack of feeding sandwiches to computer drives and her sweetly charming hugs. In addition, Sean's nosy, tree climbing, well intentioned neighbor likewise makes the narrative sparkle. A fast paced read that keeps the smiles coming, A PRINCE OF A GUY comes highly recommended.

Loved this sweet and hot romance

What a wonderful "royal" Temptation. Jill Shalvis writes sweetly hot romance like nobody else. This book has laugh out loud scenes, a cute and funny kid, a harried uncle, and a spunky heroine. Pure fun.
