The Royal Dumonts #2
His Majesty, M.D.
"Being engaged is the perfect way to avoid getting married."
-- Prince Nicholas Dumont
Prince Nicholas Dumont's royal relations were forever trying to marry him off to this princess or that heiress. But their latest choice -- a shy, awkward American billionaire's daughter, more interested in computers than in men -- was a disaster. And that made her the perfect "fiancee."...
A fake engagement to this "ugly duckling" would let him return to his first love -- medicine -- and would surely never go anywhere. Except...Tara York was turning into a swan -- a confident, sensual, extremely desirable woman -- before his very eyes. And suddenly, he was aching to truly make her his princess....

I enjoyed this book. Prince Nicholas' family has been trying to marry him off and Tara York's father was trying the same. Nicholas is a Prince and doctor and Tara is the daughter of a billionaire a computer genius but together they try to dupe their parents into thinking they've made the perfect match by pretending to be engaged. However, things get interesting when they accidentally, and unexpectedly fall for each other.

Me ha encantado esta historia, tan igual pero tan diferente, un hombre que ademas de ser de la realeza quiere ayudar con su amor por la medicina y ella que a pesar de no tener el apoyo de un padre millonario, quiere superarse por ella misma... hacen un dúo espectacular que me ha encantado!

I enjoyed this book's storyline. I really liked the hot & steamy scenes. I really liked Nicholas's character. I really liked Tara's character. I really liked the ending.

As I've said earlier, it was the cover art of this book that did me in for this continuity. Muy delicioso!
And the book didn't disappoint either. I already enjoyed Nicholas's appearances in Michel's story. He was funny man Nick in that book. But I guess it was only natural for his character to morph into a more serious version of himself in his own book. And yet, he didn't lose his sense of humor.
And Tara was some character trying to fight off the attraction to the young and book version of McDreamy--with the hair to match. And wearing ugly oversized clothes and thick eyeglasses to make herself as unattractive to him as possible was a nice move. But being the smart guy he was, Nicholas saw through all that.
Even if they both agreed to pretend that they were engaged (so he can practice his medicine and she can finish her online university course), he couldn't help being attracted--and falling--for her. And when they were forced to marry after some pictures of them taking a late night swim were taken, I couldn't help but laugh at Nicholas's reaction.
And this McDreamy version also had a way with words. Check these out:

Das hässliche Entlein wird zum Schwan – diesmal in der royalen Variante, gespickt mit ein bisschen Arzt-Flair. Liest sich gut, unterhält, lädt zum Schwärmen ein (einmal reiche Erbin sein ;-) ) und lässt den Leser am Ende glücklich zurück. Einzig die Liebesszenen sind manchmal etwas Cheeseburger, aber das kann auch an der deutschen Übersetzung liegen ...

Had a lot of potential, and I liked both the hero and heroine, but the hero was such a blind and selfish ass in the last quarter that he kinda blew it for me, and the groveling wasn't sufficient.
