Header PromotionThe Princess and the Mercenary by Marilyn Pappano (SIM 1130)
Anna Sebastiani is the youngest Princess of Montebello. Her only brother (the oldest sibling) Lucas who has been missing for a year has been spotted in Montana and Anna knows that she needs to help find him since they were always the closest together. But her father won't send her off to help, so she pretends she needs to visit her sister in Montana. She pouts and cajoles and her father the king gives in and sends her off, assigning Tyler Ramsey, one of the Noble Men, to protect her and deliver her safely to her sister's before going off to track down the leads about Lucas...
Only Anna convinces her sister she needs some alone time with Tyler cuz they're lovers (which they aren't but Anna has a crush on Tyler) and gets her help to escape. But she does run into Tyler and he agrees to take her with him once he has no choice...His jealousy is soon activated and he must fight hard to resist her alure - or must he? And will they be able to find Lucas (aka Joe the cowboy) or save Jessica who we learn is carrying his baby and who Ursula (her sister) is planning to kill so she can use the baby to claim the royal throne?
Well we don't get the answers to the last few questions in this book because this is one of those long drawn out series that span several books to make you keep reading. Based on this one I can't say that I really want to do that however. Anna/Annie struck me as young and immature and spoiled and didn't really see to change much during the book, apart from learning how to do laundry and falling in love with Tyler. She's also one of those 25 yo virgins who's never even fooled around with anyone, leading to one of those, omg will it fit moments that make me roll my eyes so badly. Seriously - and to top things off they forget the condom, although fortunately that didn't seem to come into play in this book, although I'm sure we will see them and their bundle of joy in the next one. Tyler's also a bit of a head case, falling in love with Annie but thinking he can't have her because he's a screw up until a simple phone call with his brother changes the way he's see the last almost 30 years of his life...I definitely won't miss these two.
