saya agak aneh di bagian Putri Natalia mau saja dijodohkan dgn syekh yg sama sekali tdk dikenal, Skrg abad, bukan abad pertengahan, Bagian ini sama sekali tdk masuk akal,
Dan ending dgn Ben yg mengundang segenap oers jg terlalu lebay, krn sblmnya dideskripsikan bhw Ben trauma dan paranoid thd nyamukpers ini,
hal ini merusak keseluruhan cerita yg sbnrnya sdh terbangun cukup baik, Sayang sekali. Princess Natalia is one of those notorious royal Santinas, Known for her wild partying, Natalia isn't surprised when Ben Jackson tries to take her down a peg at her sister's engagement party, However, the conversation becomes a bet and Natalia ends up working for Ben at his football camp for a month, Once in his employ, will Ben discover what Natalia's wild partying really covers up
A great short read with depth into human emotion, Wished the author had went more in depth with the Princess's learning disability, Hewitt did a very good job in the short amount of time the book offered, Lumayan lah, ga terlalu monoton dan ga begitu berkesan Miniseries: The Santina Crown
Category: Classic Romance
Now this is more like it! Exactly what I wanted after a slightly lacklustre start to this Santina Crown Series.
Kate Hewitt is rapidly becoming one of my favourite Modern/Presents authors her books are so rich with genuine emotion and very compelling stories that push the boundaries.
That is certainly the case here,
The heroine of this story is a brilliant character she has a real and honest vulnerability that is used perfectly in showing her character, Her personality because of, and as a result of, this vulnerability is believable and she is relatable as a character as well has having the important loftiness that is needed with a royalty character.
The hero and heroine work beautifully together and I really felt that they were both able to grow as characters throughout the course of the story alongside their growing feelings for one another.
This is a very touching and beautiful lovestory with a wonderful sadbuthopeful mood, Loved it!
Originally posted at sitelink blogspot . /stars. An enjoyable characterdriven romance. Princess Natalia and Ben Jackson both have painful issues with living in the limelight, but they've reacted in very different ways: Ben is carefully private, while Natalia puts on a constant scandalous public act, so that no one can ever see the real her.
When they become attracted to each other, she discovers how hard it is to give up that public persona and just be real,
Hewitt does a nice job of writing a "battle of wits" story which doesn't become a tiresome bickerfest, Both characters put up a fight against their feelings, and both have to find the strength to expose their vulnerabilities,
This is one in a "continuity" series so there's a lot of extraneous stuff about all the brothers and sisters who have had or are getting their own books.
I also didn't like Natalia's thinking that she could never support herself because of her disability severe dyslexia, a statement that is never challenged, And the story's end, which is supposed to be very romantic, just had me laughing the characters are having a long, very intimate conversation while he's piloting a small aircraft, with no mention of noise, headsets, or any of the actions he would need to be taking.
My husband, a small aircraft pilot, asked if someone also rolled down a window, The lack of any supporting detail took me right out of the story,
But the characters and their conflict are believable and interesting, so I'd recommend this, Natalia Santina terkenal sebagai putri yang memiliki banyak skandal, Sering dijumpai di bar, dan selalu menjadi sasaran empuk paparazzi, Pada saat pertunangan kakaknya, Alessandro, Natalia diharapkan bersikap baik, Tentunya itu sebelum dia bertemu dengan Ben Jackson,
Ben Jackson adalah pengusaha yang dikenal selalu menghindari pers, Kehidupan keluarga Jackson yang fenomenal membuatnya sedikit mengalami trauma berhadapan dengan pers, Saat dia bertemu dengan Natalia, mereka terlibat adu mulut yang berujung pada taruhan, Ben menginginkan Natalia untuk bekerja sebagai sukarelawan di perkemahan sepakbola untuk anakanak yang didirikannya, Sementara Natalia merasa bahwa Ben tidak bisa mengekang dirinya, Namun Ben selangkah lebih maju dengan meminta langsung pada Raja Eduardo, Dengan alasan bahwa menjadi sukarelawan merupakan publisitas yang baik untuk Natalia, sang Raja setuju dengan permintaan Ben,
Sekarang giliran Natalia yang berjuang memenangkan taruhan, Hari pertama bekerja untuk Ben saja, Natalia harus berusaha keras menanggalkan keputriannya, Tapi usahanya nyaris siasia ketika pers mendapati Natalia makan malam berdua dengan Ben, Esoknya berita di koran membuat Ben meradang,
Alur kisah Natalia dan Ben ini bisa dibilang lambat dan minim nuansa romantis, Saya nyaris bosan membacanya. Satusatunya yang membuat saya kembali melek adalah saat Natalia nyaris ketahuan mengidap disleksia, Dia ternyata tidak bisa membaca dan menulis, Kekurangannya ini ditutupnya rapatrapat dengan berbagai pemberitaan tentang dirinya, meski pemberitaannya hampir semuanya negatif, Tapi sayangnya, hal ini hanya dibahas sepintas saja, Semoga saja kisah kembaran Natalia, Carlotta tidak membosankan seperti ini, Breaking News: Pampered Princess Tamed Think not!
Natalias notoriety is fodder for the tabloids who love a good scandal and she is more than happy to provide the gossip and rumors with her many antics.
Having lived through a Scandal growing up, Ben abhors any kind off scandal and tries to keep himself out of the press, . a more perfect pair you wont find a match made in romance heaven!
Princess Natalia reputation precedes her so when she meets Ben Johnson at her brothers engagement party sparks fly and the gloves come off, these two can sure turn dishing dirt on each other into an artform.
When Natalia is forced to volunteer at Bens Charity she is livid but never one to turn down a challenge she take it in her stride and marches on.
Ben and Natalia hate each others guts but cant ignore the simmering attraction between them either, As Ben spends more time with Natalia and gets to know the woman behind the façade he realizes her attention grabbing persona is really a front to her hidden insecurities.
Ben is exactly what Natalia wants and needs question is “Is Ben ready to fight for her”
Santina's Scandalous Princess is a well written entertaining read you will love Natalia and all snarky comebacksthis book is a great addition to the Santina Crown series.

Sinopsis:
Rasanya, putri Natalia dan Ben Jackson adalah dua orang yang begitu berbeda.
Kehidupan putri Natalia yang seringkali disoroti pers adalah hal yang harus dihindari Ben Jackson akibat pengalaman buruk dengan pers,
Pandangan Ben terhadap Natalia yang merupakan putri yang tak dapat diandalkan, sepertinya akan berubah dengan kebersamaan yang terjalin dalam perkemahan sepak bola sebagai relawan, Tetapi permasalahan pers masih menjadi hal yang tidak mudah, . .
.
.
.
Kisah seorang putri yang dilabeli 'bermasalah' karena kebiasaannya yang membuat sosoknya di mata publik adalah putri yang kebiasaan bersenangsenang dan selalu menjadi sorotan publik, menurut saya adalah karakter utama yang tidak selalu dapat dijumpai dalam novel romantis.
Saya dibuat suka dengan karakter Putri Natalia yang ini,
Cerita bergulir cukup lambat tetapi saya merasa tetap dapat menikmati kisah Putri Natalia dan Ben Jackson,terutama ketika Ben mengetahui satu fakta tentang putri Natalia yang matimatian disembunyikan gadis itu.
Dan jika berada di posisi putri pun, saya rasa tindakan ini akan saya lakukan tetapi lebih karena sulit membayangkan reaksi publik atau orangorang yang mengetahui bahwa seorang putri dipandang 'bodoh' karena ketidaksempurnaan yang salah satunya membuatnya sulit mengembangkan kemampuan dalam membaca.
Cukup banyak pendapat orangorang tentang novel ini yang cenderung mengatakan bahwa alur dan beberapa ide dalam ceritanya tidak begitu memuaskan ekspektasi, tetapi bagi saya pribadi kisah ini tetap memiliki kelebihan dengan pelibatan kegiatan amal dan pers.
Selain itu,dalam novel ini peran serta pers cukup kuat termasuk pada bagian akhir cerita,
Putri penuh skandal pun diakhiri dengan cara yang membuat saya merasa seperti menonton drama romantis yang seru, Penyuka kisah romantis bisa coba membaca novel ini Santina's Princess Natalia has been spotted on the arm of billionaire Ben Jackson, famous for his ruthless work ethic, devastating good looks and disdain for the spotlight.
But Ben has no chance of avoiding the cameras with notorious party girl Natalia in tow!Most surprising of all, Natalia has been seen putting in a full day's work in Ben's office! Has the legendary socialite swapped couture and cocktails for photocopying
One thing's for sureif we could all have a brooding, dynamic boss like the devilishly attractive Ben, work would be a whole lot more exciting.

My rating.out ofstars.
Good addition to the Santina Crown Series, So far this series is very good, Not enough romance :/
This author usually writes heroines too "modern" for my taste U, U Dari chapter awal udah ngerasa bosen, Akhirnya lompat kechapter akhir, Soso Le doy una estrella porque soy btch xD,
La verdad, esto es como si te encontrás con una vecina que te cuenta: "Viste lo que le pasó a doña Pepa, que la hija es un tiro al aire Se acostó con medio barrio, pero es una chica buena, pobre, con la familia que tiene.
. . ". La novela, sacando mi ironía, es así,
Es Paris Hilton y aunque en todo momento la escritora quiere hacerte creer que escarbando hay algo más, te miente vilmente, No, no hay nada más la protagonista, Natalia, es una princesa spoiled, posh and insoportabile que hace todo lo que se le da la gana y él, Ben a secas, es un héroe más bien beta.
Hago un paréntesis y voy a decir que las novelas de Harlequin de ahora, junto con estas nuevas autoras, suckean como la putmadre, Basta! Hay término medio, genteEsta nueva cepa de novelitas absurdas
no tienen término medio entre protagonistas monjas o bien ptas, No hay grises. Si no sos virgen, entonces hay algún exnovio dando vueltas con fotos o videos porno para chantajearte y te volteaste a medio barrio sólo por eso de la liberación femenina.
QUÉ Are you serious
No conozco ningún tipo, machista o no, al que una vaya a decirle mientras cogn: "me acosté con muchos tipos", Noo. Esas cosas no son reales, Si estas escritoras liberadas y autosuficientes quieren realidad, deberían empezar a ponerse en el lugar de las heroínas,
Este libro está mal, No sé cómo tiene tanto rating, pero si sos lectora harlequin de hace años, este estilo te va a chocar y mucho, Lo único que le acepto a la prota es que no vendió humo, no se hizo la inocente ni hizo creer lo contrario,
Lo peor del escrito: en la prensa sale una noticia donde ella se va a una orgía con dos playboys, Ella dice que la prensa exagera, pero también admite que ha dado información veraz sobre varios acontecimientos de su vida, Debería, entonces, creerle lo bueno y lo malo no Qué estupidez, Nunca se llega a aclarar el asunto, y aunque no lo veo mal, en este tipo de romance me parece una decepción gigantesca, Why is there some sultry dark haired woman on my front cover and not the blond short haired elf described It totally bugs me when covers don't match the descriptions in fact I miss the old vintage type art covers in general.
Certainly with the British books we have to enjoy stock photos of random people or even shock horror a building who don't resemble anyone in the story and it vexes me terribly.
