Dating the Prince by Alina Snow
Book Description:
Small-town girl, Katie O’Connor has always dreamed of seeing her name in lights. Check the box for fame, a movie deal, the perfect leading role that comes with a gorgeous leading man! Katie moved to Hollywood, elbows her way into auditions, lives on a shoestring budget—whatever is required to land a deal, she throws her heart into… until she’s involved in a royal kidnapping.
As the future king, Prince Alexander refuses to rule from an ivory tower. Duty-bound, he intends to relate to his future subjects, regardless of their walk of life. Before his coronation, he needs a foolproof plan to outrun his security team and go temporarily AWOL. While visiting L.A., all it takes is a sound stage collision and Alex is blindsided by a headstrong woman who is simply irresistible. So much so, he calls in a favor in order to secure her help … as his pretend girlfriend.
Their worlds are oceans apart, but their immediate attraction is impossible to put aside, especially their nonstop banter. Miffed at being wrangled into a situation that might blow up in her face, Katie comes up with her own plan. If The Prince is serious about walking the walk of the common folk, she’s only too happy to oblige as his pretend girlfriend. Through an ice storm, a road trip, kitchen duty, and a Texas pig race, Alex captures the hearts of the locals as well as Ms. O’Connor’s.
What starts out as a deal Katie can’t refuse becomes the acting role of a lifetime… letting Prince Alexander go without a fight.
A delightfully funny retelling of The Prince and The Pauper that romance readers of all ages will enjoy. On a two-week 1,500-mile road trip, Katie and Alex discover the end of the road might just be the beginning of their ‘Happy Ever After’ together.
Andrea's Review:
Dating the Prince is a very fitting story for our current pop culture (what with actress Meghan Markle having married Prince Harry this past weekend). I didn't follow the real-life "actress marries prince" story very closely, but non-royalty marrying royalty is a fun idea and made for an interesting novel.
The depth of the relationship in Dating the Prince seemed to come on very fast. I liked the characters, but was caught off guard by how fast it went from two people in a business deal, to dating to engagement.
There was quite a bit of build up about the queen's view on the relationship, but then nothing really came of that.
Overall, I liked the idea of the story, but would have loved some more editing to fix some of the grammar and tighten up the story line.
As far as content, there is some passionate kissing.
