Summary: Enchanting tale -- Highly recommended
Review: Twenty-three years ago, someone may have switched the royal heirs of Penwyck. Now Lady Amira Sierra Corbin tracks a possible heir of the throne to a multimillionaire in America. Marcus Cordello guards his identity and his personal life carefully, making it easy for an accidental encounter to lead to a false identity and the possibility of lost possibilities.When the lovely woman in the restaurant faints, Marcus insists that she join him for dinner. Curious about her reasons for visiting the states, he introduces himself as Brent Carpenter. He neither wants to be a prince nor a royal heir, liking his life as it is. But he is entranced by the lovely Amira and would barter the truth for a few hours spent in her company. Too bad he underestimates the risks to his heart. Author Karen Rose Smith has gift for story telling, complete with a fluid narrative voice that sweeps the reader away into an extraordinary world where dreams do come true. One of the greatest challenges facing an author in series romance is to create a story that picks up where another ends, and to conclude where another might begin. With this Crown and Glory installment, Smith faces this challenge masterfully, deftly weaving vital information of the continuity into the narrative, yet SEARCHING FOR HER PRINCE works equally well as a stand-alone. Despite their status as companion to princesses or multimillionaire, Marcus and Amira prove that life on the other side of the fence might present dazzling rewards or be filled with fear, but the need for love still triumphs. While not all readers have the patience for a hero who purposefully conceals his identity, the way Marcus backs himself into the dilemma does provide a graceful excuse, and his desperate need to continue to conceal his identity just so he can have time with Amira has its own charming flair. A lovely and entertaining read, SEARCHING FOR HER PRINCE comes highly recommended.
