Silly fantasy with some cool ER lingo thrown in, A little over the top, but hey, it's a romance featuring modern day princes, so it's to be expected, I would have loved a little more backstory and history, It seemed rushed and it felt like I was missing something, Still a cute story though, This felt like two competing plots in one, and neither benefited from good structure or development, When you're in a romance and the leads don't leave the hospital setting until chapter four with the new setting somehow wholecloth established despite the hero newly arrived to town, and the heroine simply enters and goes oh this is nice with no good transition or explanations of either, you've got problems.
Also shows what the author was comfortable writing about, including wanting the heroine to be smart and confident and dedicated, which is fine in an early draft, but needed to be refined by an editor once the hospital was used to establish character traits, and pivot into what'sdifferentabouttoday conflict.
Clicheriddled. An actual 'she released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding' in the text, Nice singular moments but no build in their relationship arc, and the characters glide through the whole book mostly without conflict, inner turmoil, or change, There's some gestures made at each, but nothing beyond that,
For a marriage of convenience agreed upon to save the fate of the two leads' respective countries and set to possibly heal the breach between heroine and family that she hasn't spoken to in decades, the stakes are incredibly low.
They finish the book as they beganconfident, in charge, and instalove happening days after agreeing they wouldn't worry about the need for love instalove is fine but give reasons, show it happening, this one was almost by default.
Huge moments not on the page, The whole estranged grandmother plot, The fact that they're royalty from two countries who need them, shoehorned in as a epilogue, Then huge moments on the page that don't fit with the rest or are poorly used and there are far too many in quick succession after a mostly tepid plot to that point who needs being held up at knife point, and then a fight, and then a possible lifeending accident when none are in service of a character's epiphany or angst or growing together as a couple I guess they end the book in love because the book tells me they are, but I don't know why or have cause to believe in it.
This feels like a slush pile manuscript that was plucked out to fill a schedule gap, Nothing about it compelled me, events just blandly happened, one after the next, Gina is a doctor first, and a princess last, Ruark is also a doctor, but he believes a prince must do his duty, They must get married in order to stop the development of political strife between their two countries, Only problem, is they both fall in love,
A very sweet strory, No reason to add to WL other than that the cover is exactly the same as Sara Craven The bedroom barterP Ruark Thomas must not only attend to his duties as a doctor, but also to those as crown prince
of Marestonia.
