Genres: Comedy, New Adult, Romance
Small-town girl, Katie O’Connor has always dreamed of seeing her name in lights. Check the box for fame, a movie deal, the perfect leading role that comes with a gorgeous leading man! Katie moved to Hollywood, elbows her way into auditions, lives on a shoestring budget—whatever is required to land a deal, she throws her heart into… until she’s involved in a royal kidnapping.
As the future king, Prince Alexander refuses to rule from an ivory tower. Duty-bound, he intends to relate to his future subjects, regardless of their walk of life. Before his coronation, he needs a foolproof plan to outrun his security team and go temporarily AWOL. While visiting L.A., all it takes is a sound stage collision and Alex is blindsided by a headstrong woman who is simply irresistible. So much so, he calls in a favor in order to secure her help … as his pretend girlfriend.
Their worlds are oceans apart, but their immediate attraction is impossible to put aside, especially their nonstop banter. Miffed at being wrangled into a situation that might blow up in her face, Katie comes up with her own plan. If The Prince is serious about walking the walk of the common folk, she’s only too happy to oblige as his pretend girlfriend. Through an ice storm, a road trip, kitchen duty, and a Texas pig race, Alex captures the hearts of the locals as well as Ms. O’Connor’s.
What starts out as a deal Katie can’t refuse becomes the acting role of a lifetime… letting Prince Alexander go without a fight.
A delightfully funny retelling of The Prince and The Pauper that romance readers of all ages will enjoy. On a two-week 1,500-mile road trip, Katie and Alex discover the end of the road might just be the beginning of their ‘Happy Ever After’ together.
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Dating The Prince is a cute, somewhat predictable, feel-good romance, right along the lines of the feel-good movies I love to watch on the Hallmark Channel! Alex is about to become the king of a small country (because, of course!) when he randomly bumps into sweet, funny, Katie. He’s immediately smitten, as is she, and he asks her to be his tour guide.
Katie agrees, on the condition that she be his pretend girlfriend. The road trip they embark upon leads to lots of playful banter and awkward situations, and Alex and Katie soon find that their fauxmance is feeling more and more real. But can this prince and the pauper turn the undeniable spark between them into something real and ever-lasting?
Realistic? Not at all. An escape? Absolutely. The story is entertaining, the characters are engaging, and Dating The Prince is a binge-worthy feel-good read. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
