USA Today bestselling author Lois Faye Dyer always knew she would be a writer someday, though the road to realizing her true calling had a few detours and rest stops along the way. Growing up in such picturesque spots as a working ranch in northeastern Montana, the turn-of-the-century coastal town of Mendocino, California, an 1800s home on the shores of Lake Okoboji in Iowa, and the Spanish-flavored city of San Buenaventura on the Pacific Ocean in Southern California provided Lois with a wealth of inspiration for the fictional tales she would write one day.
A successful career in the legal community was satisfying professionally, but her heart still longed to follow her dream of publication. After several years spent honing her craft, Lois sold her first contemporary romance in 1990 and retired from her day job shortly after to focus on her writing. Today, when not plotting her next bestseller, Lois enjoys walking her dog, seeing to the needs of her demanding cats, and spending time with her wonderful family.
I found the plot line of this book a little too far stretched. However it was well written with rounded characters and was a great escape for an hour or so. Maybe I am being harsh, I just don't see modern western fathers trading their daughters in business deals even if they are criminals and greedy unscrupulous men. I also don't see why a Prince who doesn't have to would accept that deal and wish to marry said daughter. I was also irritated by said daughter. Again maybe its just me and I'm too independent but I would have told them all where to stick it, business be dammed. Probably why I'm reading stories and not married to a prince.
I like the book, I am glade that Prince Lazhar and Emily got married and Emily is pregnant with their child. Also, I know that Lazhar deal with Emily's father would have unravel in front of him when Emily told him, that she overheard the conversation between him and her father on the phone. But I am glade that they fix the problem and they are together and having a baby at the end.
