An American Princess
When Shannon Blanchard won television's hottest game show, the brainy beauty never dreamed that her prize of two weeks at a royal castle would change her life. Until she set eyes on her tall, dark and daunting host, Prince Michel de Mornay. Logic told her that an American commoner had no business posing as a princess and tangling with a man born to the throne. But Shannon's heart wasn't listening. Not when Michel's breathtaking virility called out to her soul. Not when her innocent body ached for his loving touch. Not when a voice deep inside told her that fairy tales can come true....

Someone I know based a fanfiction story on this and they never finished it. I purchased the original wanting to find out the end of the story. It had a good premise with a reality show winner winning two weeks with a friend in a royal palace than she falls for the prince and he for her. I hate to say it but you just wanted to shake these two at times for constantly misunderstanding each other and all that fuss over a big secret that came to nothing? I was more interested in Prince Devon and Shannon's cousin Marcie than the two main stars!

This books includes the following clichés
* The hero's parents are dead.
* The hero is a prince.
* The hero has such a deep, dark secret that he just can't tell anyone. Except for the heroine, that is.
* The heroine's parents are dead.
* The heroine is a virgin.
* The heroine is beautiful and is perfect in every single way.
* I'm terrible sorry but one should not speak like they have a stick up one's arse. It was terriby unrealistic and repetitive. I thought I was reading a regency romance.
* Cliché scenes: the horse ride, the walk in the garden, the heroine over-hearing gossip about how the hero is a love 'em and leave 'em type of guy etc.
I don't think the couple had any sort of chemistry at all. Notice how I can't remember their names. This book should have been about the heroine's friend and the hero's brother.

First time reading this book, I'll admit that I was several years younger then I am now. Just having reread it I now have a different view of what I thought I knew.
The storyline remained the same of course, and it is some what interesting but the writing now stricks me as unimpressive. Infact it seems a little elementary. The Character development isn't much better. There isn't much actually.
It is a good read to get your mind to fly off to fantasy land, but mental stimulation beyond that... is not going to happen. Just takes one sitting of about two hours.

Stunted and cliched.
