About this audiobook
From New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a tale of palace intrigue and royal romance.
Princess Gabriella had escaped captivity, but she'd lost her memory and her kidnappers were still on the loose. She needed a protector fast, and brash American Reeve MacGee was the perfect man for the job. The handsome ex-policeman could handle absolutely anything—except falling in love with the stunning, vulnerable woman in his care.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I've been aware for some time of Ms Roberts' illustrious career at the top of the best-seller charts, and her prolific output in several genres.
I don't know why I put off reading one of her books for so long. Perhaps it was a reluctance to open and drink a fine vintage wine.
I'm also not sure why I chose this book as a starter. Maybe it wasn't the best choice, or maybe it's representative of her work.
Whatever the case, I didn't enjoy it at all.
The characters were as anonymous as the models on the cover and the narrative as predictable as a long-running TV series.
But what really put me off was not the ludicrous Princess Diaries heroine and her manly protector, but the frequency with which he lit up cigarettes. The book could have been an ad for a tobacco company. The cigarettes had nothing to do with the story, and told us nothing about the hero, except that he smoked.
Could it be that Ms Roberts is a heavy smoker herself and likes her characters to share her enjoyment?
No one in the story reacts to the constant haze of carcinogenic smog generated by the hero, but it was too much for me. Didn't finish the book; awarded a couple of stars for the part I did read.
