Defending the Crown #2
Royal Protocol
Prince Benedek Kerkay's long-held fantasy became reality when world-renowned opera singer Rayne Williams stepped off the plane and into his arms. Although royal protocol deemed the beautiful American off-limits, it was only the sudden barrage of rebel fire that kept Benedek from breaking all the rules.
Running through underground tunnels, trying to keep the enemy at bay, Benedek would sacrifice his life and his place on the throne if it meant keeping Rayne safe.
The stubborn prince was confident he'd survive this latest battle for his country. But letting Rayne go wouldn't be quite so easy….

A lot of running around trying to avoid bad guys, and I never fully got attached to the characters, to be honest, so I didn't get absorbed in the book or the romance. Exquisitely, flawlessly beautiful heroines with a tragic past get less effective after a while, as do rich, dashing aristocrat heroes, when that is all we know about them.
The reader is automatically expected to side with the royal family against the rebels, who were generic "bad guys." We don't know much about this royal family from this volume, so perhaps I would have agreed with the rebels (aside from their use of violence, of course, but they were hardly the only violent ones in the book). This left me feeling ambiguous about the action, to be honest, and diminished my connection with the main characters. I might feel differently if I had read the whole series previous to this, I admit, but this book by itself left me feeling uncomfortable with this aspect.
A few interesting things - the age difference, with hero younger, and the heroine being a (presumably) wealthy celebrity in her own right was unusual, as was some of the catacomb descriptions.

A Lei Da Tentação

É inegável que tenho um certo desdém por príncipes modernos e seus derivados. Porque normalmente há um glamour na realeza, mas está já não tem a mesma importância há séculos. Então, acha tão sem sentido todo aquele protocolo. O mundo moderno não permite...
A diferença, entre os outros príncipes e Benedek, é que ele é um arquiteto, e não um desocupado. Tem um irmão gêmeo e vários irmãos mais velhos, com isso, não está preocupado com o poder. Ama as artes e é apaixonado por uma cantora lírica.
Fora todos esses detalhes, ainda a estória tem: rebeldes tentando se impor perante a monarquia, lutas, intrigas, traições, reféns e final feliz.
Bom, né?
Recomendo!!!
