Royal groomsmen in
search of sexy Cinderella…glass slipper found in the line shack…
It was cold, they were trapped…and
Rory Buchanan had made love to a perfect stranger – and enjoyed it way more
than she should have. But how was a regular girl from Whitehorse supposed to
know the royal protocol for dealing with a fantasy one-night stand?
It soon became clear that Devlin
Barrow would slay any dragon for local girl Rory – a court full of nobles had
even descended on the small Montana community. But this relationship was no
fairy tale. Because someone was willing to kill to keep Devlin’s secret past
from toppling the royal hierarchy. And with Rory pregnant with his surprise
heir, her life was at stake as well.
Rory was
trying to find out information about her neighbors, who were trying to buy her
out, when she meets Devlin. She saves him from freezing in the cold when a
storm kicks up. They have a great night together but she knows that she can’t
get caught with him so she lights out before he wakes up in the morning. They
find each other again but he can’t get involved because he’s trying to find his
mother’s killer.
Everything
ends up working out and there is no way to really sum it up quickly. I think
that’s what I like the most about B.J. Daniels. The information packed into a
tiny Harlequin romance is enough to fill most other books. This author knows
how to keep the flow of the story with the romance and tension of the romantic
suspense genre going so that the reader doesn’t think they are missing anything
from a full length book.
The idea of
sex in this book are really important…but the actual sex scenes are sadly
lacking. However, the romance is really good. So if you want an erotic novel,
do not go looking here. If you want a romance with a bit of mystery, this is
the place for you!
There is
one characters attitude that makes me think this character was based on a real
person. The Princess Evangeline believed that everyone was out to use her. She
was cold, mean, calculating, and in some ways, vicious. This sounds like a real
person because her attitude and actions are so realistic. Even though she is
almost a not really worthy to mention character, she is so vibrant that it’s
hard not to think of her part in this story.
I haven’t
read the rest of the Whitehorse, Montana series by B.J. Daniels but I look
forward to coming across them. Overall, I really liked this book. I was
disappointed that it was too short for my taste. There was so much more these
characters could have done! But in the end I am giving this book 3.5 stars.
