"Second in the charming Perry Square Royalty trilogy"
Tanner Ericson was a prince... a real live honest to
goodness, of-royal-blood-with-a- country-of-his-own,
prince. He's come to Erie, PA to find his betrothed.
Needless to say, he's quite surprised when a spunky, no-
nonsense, Harley riding, redhead greets him at the airport
instead. Shey Carlson would do anything for a friend, even
run interference on an unwanted fiancé. Tanner and Shey couldn't be more different. He's royalty,
for heaven's sake! She is an intelligent, independent
woman who has worked hard for everything she has. So why
is it that the more she tries to keep him occupied and
away from Parker, the more she wants to be with him?
However, he's got a marriage of duty and responsibility to
a princess on the brain. Or does he? As it turns out, Shey
may be exactly what he really wants... and needs. Ms. Jacobs continues her Perry Square Royalty trilogy with
this second book. As always, her characters come alive as
kind and friendly souls readers would expect to bump into
in their own hometowns. Shey's tough biker chic façade
protects her heart of gold. She loves her friends dearly
and having had a tough childhood knows what it is like to
need help, so she gives back in her own way. She gives
food to the hungry and teaches some how to read, being
passionate about illiteracy. One can't help but love her. Tanner grew up never lacking for anything, except maybe
love. His parents were too busy doing their royal duty to
care much about him. His attempts to find love have always
ended when the woman cared more about his crown than they
did him. Maybe that's why he bonded so strongly with his
security team, who are more friends then bodyguards. He
had hoped his engagement would give him what he needed,
but never realized how empty his life had been... until
Shey
dropped in to his life. This book is interesting in that it actually takes place
at the same time as Once upon a Princess, which was
released in May, so there are some scenes from the first
book in this one as well, but from a different
perspective. Many of the fellow Perry Square residents pop
in for a visit, as is to be expected in this series. Holly
Jacobs has developed quite a cozy little family through
her sweet romances. When readers open one of her books,
they find they have once again come home to where they
belong. © Kelley A. Hartsell, April 2005. All rights reserved.
