Summary: A laugh out loud hoot and holla
Review: I adore MJD, her books are both a hoot and a holla. I cannot even begin to say how funny this book is. I liked it almost as much as her 'Undead' series.

Summary: A really fun book!
Review: I enjoyed this book a lot (but not as much as UNDEAD AND UNWED). The characters weren't as deep as in UDEAD and I think that kept this book from being a keeper for me. But I really did enjoy the story and highly recommend it if you like to laugh. I sure did giggle! I can't wait to read more from this author.

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: I got the title of this book from a friend who'd just read it and I really liked it. The main character is funny and charming. Also, the plot twists in it are very surprising and kept me turning the pages. I'd highly recommend this book!!!

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I honestly haven't laughed so hard while reading a book - The part about the baby pengiun had me in tears! But beyond Ms. Davidson's wild sense of humor, there is a pretty good story. I finished the book in a matter of hours but I didn't at all regret the purchase. If your looking for a highly entertaining romance read than I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Funny & Sexy
Review: I just loved this book. Christina is pure joy. Says what is on her mind, good or bad. Prince David is so sexy and when they get together, Alaska will never be the same. The royal family is also full of quirky individuals that are just begging to have their own stories written. I hope we do not have to wait too long for the next peek into the "Alaskan Royal Family".

Summary: What happened?
Review: I love her Undead series, I've read some of her novellas. This was a major disappointment. Actually an expensive disappointment. I was really surprised that the heroine was so unlikable and the hero so wishy-washy. The only person of substance was the King (the father). I gave this away without a whimper.

Summary: 4 1/2 *s a LOL funny, sassy (...) read!
Review: I love MJD's stories and I enjoyed this one as well, but I am a bit concerned that her heroines are becoming a bit of caricature. As with UNDEAD & UNWED, we have another smart aleck, foul-mouthed sarcastic heroine as Christina is very similar to Betsy (from U&U). Though I enjoy these spirited, tough chicks, they're best in small doses and having Betsy and Christina's stories follow so closely to one another, I was sort of on sassy chick overload by the time I finished this book. Don't get me wrong, I liked Christina and did recognize that deep down, WAY deep down inside her she had a heart of gold, it was just that her surface was so sharp and brittle. I would have liked to see a bit more softness in her and less of the sharp elbows (or should I say tongue!). But that said, this story was still a hoot!Wiseguy Christina fits in perfectly with the off-kilter, wacky and unconventional Alaskan Royals! King Alexander is known to sport an "I'M THE KING - WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" t-shirt, recline in a lazy-boy in his office and captain a fishing boat incognito (but he's frustrated that he is almost always recognized!). On one such fishing excursion, he meets Christina who's just lost her job as a cook on a cruise ship. With no money and no where to go, "Al" offers to let her stay at his place (she doesn't realize who he is at first). She takes him up on his offer only to discover that he's matchmaking for his reserved, penguin-obsessed son, Crown Prince David. David is about the only calm, sane member of the family and Al thinks Christina is just what he needs. She's cute, smart and will make a tough, no-nonsense queen that David can depend on when the time comes. David, being a prince, has never had to work hard to be with women - they usually throw themselves at him - and he shows no interest in who he marries figuring any woman will do as long as she's healthy enough to give him an heir. But Christina is different and lets him know that he's a little deficient in the romance department. He finds he likes her very much and tries to woo her (he's real cute) eventually winning her over. And so the orphaned American commoner Christina (the "e" is silent!) Krabbe agrees to marry Crown Prince David! From there we watch in amusement as they make royal wedding plans, meet for pre-marital counseling, deal with an ex-boyfriend of Christina's, a family feud over youngest Prince Nicholas, attempted abductions and a life and death struggle for a member of the family. All the while Christina and David grow closer and the staff become used to her unique style. There are some great secondary characters - the whole royal family, the king's right hand man Edmund, Christina's ex Kurt, therapist Dr Pohl and PR rep Jenny. There's enough raw material here for more stories about the Alaskan royals, though I have no idea if that's the plan. If you're looking for a fun, fast read and don't mind swearing and snarkiness, you'll probably like this book as much as I did!

Summary: Fun read; author shows potential
Review: I picked this up for a quick fun read and it was certainly that! I was laughing throughout most of the book and enjoyed the characters. However, the book will not be a "re-reader" for me. The author does have a few things she could work on. Characters are snickering practically every page, plot points are made too quickly, and the "book excerpts" were more confusing than anything else. I'll keep an eye out for other books by Davidson. She could be a very good author if she can develop her stories a mite better.
