Synopsis:
At his
majesty’s service…or so he thinks.
With her
job and her self-respect on the line, advertising executive and reformed
bad-girl Zoe Keaton heads to Italy to score a vital business deal.
Unfortunately, the guy she needs to convince is the wickedly hot—and totally
closed-off—Prince Dominic Ricci, who has no intention of listening to her
pitch. So with the queen’s help, Zoe does the only thing that will get the job
done. She kidnaps him.
But the
joke’s on her when the queen’s matchmaking strands Zoe and the prince on the
royal family’s secluded island. Zoe vows not to mix business with pleasure—and
prove that she’s more than a spoiled rich girl who bought her way to
success—but when the prince turns up the heat, the chemistry between them
ignites. Is it just sizzling sex, or could an Italian prince with a tragic past
fall for a take-no-prisoners American?

My Review: 5 stars
Damn, this was good. The story line was original. I really liked that Dominic was the way he was because of the people who always tried to get something from him, and his wanting to honor his fathers wishes. So I understand his reluctance to change anything for Zoe's ad campaign. I liked Queen Catherine's fiesty attitude and match-making skills. She knew just what to say, how to say it and when. But then, she's the Queen, so...yeah. For Dominic being a Prince, I loved that Nicola had him multi-layered. Not just one type, but many rolled into one. I loved Zoe with her kick ass approach to life and her flat-out honesty was so refreshing to me. I liked that she tried to be independent, because really, up until Dominic showed her more, she never had anyone to rely on - relationship wise. Yes, she had her partner and friend, Allie. But that's a different type of relationship. Zoe and Dominic hit things off right away, and that caused some issues. But innovation on Zoe's part prior to what Dominic did and said things he shouldn't have, helped get this back on track. Loved the kidnapping! This is my first read my Nicola, and it will not be the last. This was innovative, fresh and fiesty and fantastic in every way. Most excellent.
