A Prince at Last! (Silhouette Romance, 1594)

Rating:
Summary: A DELIGHTFUL READ
Review: We all talk about our "comfort" reads....those books we pick up over and over again....the ones that lift our spirits....that make the hours just fly by....the ones that give us a "fuzzy" warm feeling....
The name Cathie Linz goes hand-in-hand with "comfort" reads....she never fails to delight the reader with her humor, likeable characters, unique plots and zest for life.....also her love of animals shows through over and over again...
Luc Dumont, head of St. Michel's Security Force, has been searching throughout Europe for the missing heir to the throne of the tiny country.....he was not a happy camper to find out that the future king was none other than himself!
The late king's stepdaughter, Juliet Beaudreau, has had deep feelings for Luc since he first appeared at the castle three years before.....although happy for Luc to hear that he will sit upon the throne in the future, she realizes he could never fall in love with a mere "commoner" such as she. With knowledge on royal etiquette, Juliet agrees to teach Luc protocol and traditions, knowing she's preparing him to find a suitable, royal wife....and having to face the fact that he will belong to someone else...
What follows is a darling story, complete with the perfect "villain", realistic conflicts,and wonderful secondary characters, especially the dowager queen.....Luc and Juliet were perfect for each other...and, of course, it had the "happily-ever-after" ending.
Reading any book by Cathie Linz always makes me smile...and in today's world, that says a LOT! I just wish this author would go to single-titles so there'd be more pages of sheer enjoyment for us fans!
