Royalty
Short description
Crown Prince Zhaiden Sinclair has found the lady of his dreams, child psychologist Renee Delacorte. Yet intelligence, education, and deep understanding cannot mitigate her fear to be in the public spotlight, a legacy of childhood trauma. Hard-pressed with Imperial duties, Zhaiden's private life suddenly comes under horrific public scrutiny when his fiancée is abducted. Has he lost Renee forever?
Extended description
Being the Crown Prince means responsibility, but being a single father can be more responsibility than one man can handle. Thus Crown Prince Zhaiden Sinclair finds himself looking for a child psychologist to help his Heir Matthieu deal with the absence of his mother Colette, who has been barred from the lives of her children since their ugly divorce.
Enter Lady Renee Delacorte, whose expertise was driven by her own childhood trauma. When Zhaiden’s desire to court Renee is met with her reticence to pursue a relationship, he spends inordinate amounts of time to win her love, despite the press of his political duties. As the enemy planet of Javonia causes more galactic upheaval, Zhaiden strives to keep the peace without jeopardizing his family, his Empire, or his budding romance with the exquisite Renee, already dear to his precious sons.
Just when the Javonian troubles seem almost impossible to negotiate, Zhaiden’s ex-wife proves enemies closer to home can devastate an Empire as surely as any war. Can Zhaiden convince Renee to marry him after Colette’s treasonous attack? Will Renee’s nurturing ways turn her away from dealing with the traitors in the way the Imperial Family must, by execution? And can a lady who has never experienced true social pressure find the courage and sheer gumption to become the next Empress of the Sinclair Demesnes?
This futuristic romance is the fourth book of the seven-part To Be Sinclair series. The saga continues with FEALTY and its companion volume ROYALTY, which detail the romances and political struggles of the Prince Second and Crown Prince of the Sinclair Demesnes. A few scenes describe sexually explicit behavior.

Dramatic.
This book about Crown Prince Zhaiden and Lady Renee is full of action and drama. The characters are well fleshed out and the psychoanalysis is interesting. We are on tenterhooks much of the time wondering if there will be a wedding after all. In addition this, Empress Felice has to travel to Janovian space as their scientists have damaged their wormhole and hope to get a Stargate instead. But there are no guarantees in life! This is the best book since the first and deserves to get five stars. An excellent novel.

*This Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review*
This is the forth installment in the To Be Sinclair series and the "sci fi" feel has continued but the novelty of the unusual "Court" mentality and protocols that kept it in that unknown territory for me have definitely started to wear off.
The story is continuing and although the writing has stayed consistently strong, at the point I have to confess I am losing interest. The novelty factor of the books being so different that kept me intrigued early on I fear has now waned and sadly without that I am not enjoying the saga as much as with earlier installments.
That being said I think anyone who has stayed with this story thus for the love of the characters may well find that this is one of the stronger story bases and will continue on. I would definitely recommend that anyone intrigued takes a look at book 1.
I will stress yet again (because it really bothers me) that I really don't think that the covers do these books any justice at all which I feel is a terrible shame but all I can do is suggest people try and look past them
3 1/2 stars for me (rounded up to 4)
