"The sequel to The Royal Treatment and what a sequel it is!!"

I simply loved THE ROYAL TREATMENT so I knew I would love this book as well and I am as pleased as punch to say I was right. This book was as funny and as wonderful as I knew it would be.

For those who have read the first book, this book is about Princess Alexandria Baranov. King Al is worried to death about his daughter. She isn't sleeping well, she's losing weight and even though she says not, she's still living the nightmare of when her brother was almost kidnapped and her father almost killed by an assassin.

So Al decides to send her off to the North Dakota Institute for Sea Life to give her something else to think about. She and Dr. Shel Rivers clash from the very beginning but this may be a good thing, right? It will get her mind off her problems. What ensues will keep you in stitches the entire book. Alex gives Shel a run for his money and Shel never knows what hits him. He can't believe he's so drawn to her. She is the epitome of everything he hates so why does he want to be around her all the time?

The scrapes and situations Alex and Shel get into kept me laughing until tears ran freely from beginning to end. I hope we see many more stories about the wacky Baranov family. I'm a huge fan of MaryJanice Davidson's books but I believe I love the Baranov family more than any of her other characters!
