Avoiding Mr Right
Man of mystery
Christina Howard has always believed that a girl should pay her own way. So when a handsome stranger offers to help her out, she can only be suspicious.
And her suspicions grow as she starts working for a royal princess and the mysterious Luc Henri reappears. Is all his charm and flattering attentiveness genuinely directed toward her? Perhaps he just means to use her to get close to the royal family. But what if the man she's so determined to avoid turns out to be the one man who's right for her?

About the author
Sophie Weston
182 books43 followersJenny Haddon was born in London, England, where she always returns after the travels that she loves. When she was small, her mother couldn't bear reading aloud, so her mother taught her to read at an appallingly precocious age. She wrote her first book with her own illustrations at the age of four but was in her 20s before she produced her first romance as Sophie Weston.
She studied English Language and Literature at university. Choosing a career was a major problem. It was not so much that she didn't know what she wanted to do, as that she wanted to do everything. So she filed and photocopied and experimented. She worked as consultant at the Bank of England and all the time she drew on her experiences to create her Mills & Boon books. She edited press releases for a Latin American embassy in London (The Latin Afffair); lectured in the Arabian Gulf (The Sheikh's Bride); waitressed in Paris (Midnight Wedding); and made herself hated by getting under people's feet asking stupid questions under the grand title of consultant all over the world (The Millionaire's Daughter). She also is an active member of the UK's Romantic Novelists' Association's Committee, and was its twenty-three Chairman (2005-2007).
Jenny has one house, three cats, and about a million books. She writes compulsively, Scottish dances poorly, grows more plants than she has room for, and makes a mean meringue.

I really enjoyed this book our H seems genuinely smitten although he's not 100% honest about his identity whereas our h is feisty and gives him the total run around making him jump through hoops to get her where he wants to. Def a keeper Gotta love a h with a backbone.
After having a re-read I wanted to update my review.
It stood up to a second round of reading the h is an independent woman who studies fashion in winter and crews boats (well) in the summer to earn her coin and for freedom.
The H is a prince of some made up country who falls for the h and breaks rules for her. h is less than impressed when she finds out he lied to her about his identity (he romances her as a normal dude) and she actually thinks hes a sleazy reporter at one point but falls for him anyway.
Its a shame the vizier type guy didn't get any come uppance but still an enjoyable read and its aged pretty well other than the fax machines!

Heroine is refreshingly independent and not annoyingly strident about it. Hero is dashing and helpful. And pretty charismatic. The book lost its shine for me when I realized that . The ending was nice, but in light of the issue that I had with the premise, not wholly persuasive.
