About ROYAL MARRIAGE MARKET:
Every decade, the world’s monarchs and their heirs secretly convene to discuss global politics and social issues—and arrange marriages between kingdoms.
Elsa may be the Hereditary Princess of Vattenguldia, but she finds the entire situation archaic and unsavory. While she wants what's best for her country, she isn't about to jump into an unwanted relationship—let alone a marriage—with a virtual stranger. Of course, her feelings matter little to her parents, whose wheeling and dealings over trade pacts and alliances achieved at her expense begin the moment they set foot in California for the Summit. So when a blindingly handsome royal runs into her, she doesn't hesitate to tell him there's no way she's marrying him.
Christian is all too happy to agree: no marriage. As the Hereditary Grand Duke of Aiboland, his main goal is to get through the summit without a bride being foisted on him. Which is why he suggests they help each other field potential intendeds. As Christian slowly gets to know Elsa, though, he realizes they have a lot more in common than just their feelings about the Royal Marriage Market. Only he can't fall for her, because royal or not, they're not meant for each other.
Elsa and Christian will have to evaluate matters of the heart verses those of state and crown, and decide whether or not tradition trumps love.
"The perfect royal romance." Nichole Chase, New York Times bestselling author.
EXCERPT
“You
go by Chris?”
“It’s an acceptable nickname for Christian.”
The owner of the name snatches his glass of champagne back, chugging the rest
of the drink. Naturally, this promptly sets off another round of coughing.
Parker is now the one to smack Christian’s
back, and I am grateful because I most certainly do not need to be touching him
again, even if in a life-saving gesture.
“Maybe so,” I murmur as
Christian, rapidly turning redder from what surely must be embarrassment more
than alcohol down the wrong pipe, shoves his friend’s hand away. “But it
doesn’t fit.”
“If I might be so bold to ask,
Your Highness, how so?” Parker inquires at the same time Christian wheezes,
“What does that mean?”
I side skirt the men to claim a
chocolate covered strawberry from the dessert table. “Chris is a boring name.”
“I believe you’ve just issued an
unforgiveable insult to all the Chrises in the world,” Christian says flatly
while Parker struggles to hold in his mirth.
“Of course I haven’t. I simply said
Chris is a boring name. Look at Elsa; it is a hopelessly old-fashioned name you
find in old women who bake streusel. My parents aged me the moment I came out
of the womb.” I point the zebra-striped berry at my sparring partner. “Now that
is unforgiveable. You were given a nice name and have elected to make it boring
when it doesn’t suit you one bit.”
Too much silence expands between us;
I am tricked into looking up at him once more. One of his dark eyebrows arches
upward. “Are you saying you don’t find me boring?”
Did I? Oh, bollocks. I did, didn’t I? I clear my throat and
smile winsomely. “Just because I don’t wish to marry you doesn’t mean I find
you boring as a bag of rocks.”
Both of his eyebrows shoot up, as if
I informed him grass is blue and sky is green. As if he doesn’t already know
he’s interesting. Please. Must I remind him of all the glossies dedicated to
his comings and goings?
“When we were children, His
Highness was teased quite a bit about his name,” Parker tells me.
I toss the strawberry stem back onto
the table; it’s whisked up by a passing waiter in less than a second. “What!
Why?”
“I’m named after a religion,”
Christian grinds out. “There was Prince Jew. Prince Muslim. Prince Buddhist.
Prince Hindu. Prince Zoroastrian. There were lots of choices, you see.”
Another moment I want nothing more
than to just laugh and laugh. “How delightful. Now, those nicknames aren’t
boring. Sacrilegious, yes, but definitely not boring.”
“You have a seed in your front
teeth,” is Christian’s response.
“You are a veritable Prince
Charming, publically pointing out women’s flaws. How chivalrous of you.”
It is annoying how much I like
that he refuses to appear properly chastised.
I love fairy tales. Contemporary one became my favorite. May throw the first stone who didn't watch on TV any Royalty wedding, like Princess Diana or William and Kate ...
Anyway, Elsa is a modern princess. She is the heiress of Vattenguldia throne, is gratuated in Oxford, speaks five languages ... and she wants to marry only for love.
But there is a Summit, very secret one in Royalty, in which dictates that if you are an heir(ess) with more than 25 years old still single, you will be a kind of political bargaining chip. That is, your parents can make you marry for convenience.
Elsa and her sister, Isabelle, didn't want it, but they are not to be heard.
In another kingdom not far away, Christian and Lukas, siblings, live the same dilemma. Their mother, the Grand Duchess, is a despot. Even managed to break her husband's spirit.
Christian is gorgeous, very well educated and, despite being required to attend the Summit, he will do anything to repudiate any candidate for marriage.
Until he and Elsa bump.
Until, without knowing how, hear the harps of cupids. But as each one is a heir to a throne they can not marry to each other ... and married is what they want most!!
I just LOVED the story. I could not put the book down until finish it.
The characters captivate, the narrative is very good; the pace is perfect, it is not hot, it's sexy and romantic story, just like a fairy tale should be.
5 STARS!!!
