Description

She wants to work on a pit crew—not be a princess.

Determined to be a member of a racing team's pit crew, the last thing mechanic Isabel "Izzy" Poussardexpects 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?

Book 1: The Accidental Princess (Christina and Richard)
Book 2: The Reluctant Princess (Izzy and Nico)

    This book was captivating. I couldn’t put it down. This story had twists and turns that led to a fairytale wedding that had a rocky beginning, but worked out after all. Great read.

    Loved the plot and the pace of the book. I loved how Izzy’s character was written. And how understanding Nico was. Especially Julianna, I’m happy that she will have her own book. Not to dramatic scenes in this book that was to over the top so I really enjoyed it.

  • A modern fairy tale!

    This is the story of a princess who had been removed from her country and family just before her parents were killed. Her parents had left her with a box that tied her to her homeland. After advertising looking for the key to open the box, a prince finds her and the box which he has the key for. A charming story of love, romance and duty.

    I enjoyed. I liked that the author didn’t fall on annoying cliches to move the story forward or cause conflict. The characters remained generally honest with each other and even the girlfriend, Juliana, was pleasant. I’m glad she wasn’t a catty B as so often happens with these types of characters. Izzy was great and Niko too. Overall I enjoyed. There probably could have been a tad more suspense, but I’ll take the way it was written over too proud characters and catty GFs any day.

    I enjoyed reading this lovely story and it was similar to a Cinderella type story. There was romance, duty and a girl from the USA becoming a real princess.
