She wants to work on a pit crew—not be a princess.
Mechanic Isabel “Izzy” Poussard’s life revolves around cars. Determined to be a member of a racing team’s pit crew, she’ll do whatever it takes to make her dream come true. The last thing she expects is for a gorgeous guy to step out of a limousine and tell her she’s a long-lost princess…and his wife.
Crown Prince Nikola “Niko” Kresimir of Vernonia wants one thing from Isabel—an annulment. The pretty American wearing grease-stained coveralls is too rough around the edges to be the future queen. Their marriage, the result of an archaic custom neither knew about, needs to end so he can modernize his country.
As sparks fly, Niko and Izzy fight their growing attraction for each other. Neither wants to remain in an arranged marriage, but that might be the only way to keep peace in the kingdom. Is a love match possible where all their dreams can come true? Or will aspirations and pride keep them from living happily ever after?

The Reluctant Princess: LOVED! This book was almost the grown-up version of the Princess Diaries! Izzy suddenly discovers she's a princess and married in the same day. Prince Niko doesn't want to be married to this "rough" woman either, so they go to Vernonia to fix it. I loved watching them try to fight their chemistry and ultimately fall in love! Such a great book! |
Not-So-Perfect Princess: This was the perfect Harlequin novel! Princess Julianna is engaged to Enrique, who is set to become king, but she's insanely attracted to his brother Alejandro, who is a bit of a rebel. It was enjoyable, if a moments angsty, to watch her sneak around with Alejandro and try to figure out if she's strong enough to tell her family what she really wants! I loved watching her be able to be herself with Alejandro! The Proper Princess: I loved Enrique!! He was so adorable fumbling around trying to impress & woo Madeleine! While Madeleine annoyed me at first I ended up loving her almost as much as I did Enrique! It was so hard to put down the book and deal with the real world! |

Princess Julianna dreams of marrying for love, but no one
cares what she wants. The future of her kingdom—and countrywomen—depends on her
arranged marriage. Too bad, her intended’s brother is the one who captures her
interest with his good looks and sailing skills. She’ll just have to push aside
her attraction and do what’s right for everyone else, if not for herself…
Prince Alejandro wants nothing more than to relinquish his title. He can’t wait
for his older brother to marry and have a child. That is, until he meets the
beautiful princess destined to be his country’s future queen. Julianna holds
the key to his freedom, yet he recognizes a kindred spirit—someone trapped by
the demands of being royalty—and finds her utterly irresistible.
Knowing the royal wedding must occur for the sake of their countries doesn’t
stop them from wanting to be together. A happy ending could be theirs if they
are willing to accept the consequences of following their hearts. Will duty or
love reign supreme?

She’s been a proper princess—but she wants to rebel.
After the death of her fiancé, Princess Madeleine knows a loveless, arranged
marriage awaits her. She’s resigned to her fate until she meets her intended
husband. Crown Prince Enrique is gorgeous, but he comes on way too strong, says
the wrong things, and fumbles with apologies. He’s more court jester than
Prince Charming. How can she marry him?
Enrique might be self-centered and lack social skills, but he’s trying to do
better—for himself, his country, and his future wife. Despite their royal union
being a political necessity, he wants his marriage with the captivating
Madeleine to be a love match. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to woo her.
How hard can it be to win his princess bride’s heart?
Nearly impossible, he discovers, because Madeleine seems unwilling—or unable—to
give him her heart. On their wedding day, instead of exchanging vows, will the
royal couple say goodbye?
