Romance sizzles in this Cinderella story set in Scotland, the first in a sparkling new spinoff series from New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins. Prince Alexsey Romanovin enjoys his carefree life, flirting--and more--with every lovely lady who crosses his path. But when the interfering Duchess Natasha decides it's time for her grandson to wed, Alexsey finds himself in Scotland, determined to foil her plans. Brainy, bookish, and bespectacled, Bronwyn Murdoch seems the perfect answer--she isn't at all to the Duchess's taste. Living at the beck and call of her ambitious stepmother and social butterfly stepsisters, Bronwyn has little time for a handsome flirt--no matter how intoxicating his kisses are. After all, no spoiled, arrogant prince would be seriously interested in a firm-minded female like herself. So...wouldn't it be fun to turn his "game" upside down and prove that an ordinary woman can bring a prince to his knees...
Prince from European principality falls for ‘bluestocking’ . Plot is minimal, dialogue appalling. Characters more like cardboard cutouts.
A heroine who is described as smart and independent but who is actually a total nitwit. A hero who loves women but does not, also pathetic!
I am typically a fan but Ms Hawkins is capable of MUCH better than this. Hard to believe that she even wrote this! I had bought the two sequels but am now reluctant to even attempt them.
