I didn't expect much from this, but it somehow still let me down.
The whole blackmail story was just ridiculous, the insta-love between Katie and Armin was so unbelievable (they barely interact and suddenly they're tearing each other's clothes off).
Yeah no, it just didn't do anything for me.

Fluff.

That's the first word that comes to my mind after reading this book. It was a completely superficial comtemporary novel - a fluff read, basically. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but unfortunately not to my taste.

The entire political spin, was too simplistic to be believable. Monarchy and politics are not supposed to be simplistic. Few pictures here and there, and the entire opinion of the country changes? I would rather, such superficial political tension was not introduced in the book. The entire situation created was a lot of baloney!

The other part that I hard time digesting was the whole blackmail scenario. It was utter nonsense. And it made the heroine come off as stupid for falling for it. As well as the prince. Really? Have you ever heard of such gross security misstep in any of the real monarchy family's households? For a smart journalist, the heroine was pretty naive and gullible. In my opinion, the entire blackmail situation went too far for just few suggestive photos. Also, I just can't imagine a reporter (any real reporter) blackmailing someone for rumours and gossip, at the risk of his career. I did like that at least in the end, Katie stood up to him.

As for the romance, it was short and sweet. Too short, to be honest. There are less than a dozen times that the couple meets in the entire book, and this includes the first meeting where Armin hires Katie. What I did like was that Armin was not a typical arrogant alpha Prince. I would have definitely liked to read more about him. I just wish there had been more character development and longer romance.

In conclusion, I would rate this 3 out of 5 stars and recommend to all the fluffly romance readers out there.

Katie was desperate for a job. Only having a couple dollars left to her name she fell back on a job she had before becoming a journalist. Securing her position in a round about way she connected with the Prince’s young adopted daughters and changed their lives while trying to maintain her principles to keep everyone safe. Great start to a new series.

This book was really cute. It was a quick afternoon read for me. I couldn't put it down until I hit the last page.

I read this entire trilogy in a weekend while I was laid up sick. All three books were sweet and enjoyable.

Short, sweet and lots of fun! This is such a good story that reads like a movie although I do wish it was longer. I love when the hero falls for the nanny! Katie and Armin are simply wonderful together and Armin is such an awesome hero!! I just love those little girls! I really enjoyed this book.

Plot

I really wasn’t in the mood for this kind of book during most of the time I was reading this, which might have been part of the reason why I had a bit of a difficult time reading this. I was in a mood where I easily cringe at the usual kinds of writing in romance novels, so I guess my tolerance level for it, which can be high, was pretty low then. However, I do think the story was able to overcome my funk somewhat.

I did feel that how some things got together was too, what is the term, basic? Or maybe abrupt? One thing I like about romance novels is the lead up to when the characters finally get together or collide, in one way or another, maybe some tension, pining, or anything like that. I do like a good build up, is what I am saying, and it fell a bit short to me in this aspect.

One thing I appreciate though, is that this straightforwardness of the story was a positive at the end. Where some romance novels tend to be too dramatic, which would have made me cringe, especially given the funk I was in, this one did not. It was refreshing that when things came to a head, it was done pretty well to me, nothing too dramatic but still with a pretty decent conflict to carry the story through its climax and to the end. I do note that there were some dramatic parts, it wasn’t completely devoid of it, but it was done in a way that it didn’t bother me, which is why even if some parts might have been a bit too much, I was able to take it.

Characters

I don’t have any particular regard for the main characters in this story. I don’t know what I have against main characters these days, but I just didn’t connect too much to the couple in focus. I guess this comes with the lack of build up that I felt, as it didn’t give me enough to endear any of them to me. The exception would probably be the girls which Katie was hired to be a nanny for, as they’re quite precious.

Do I recommend this book? Yes, to a certain extent. It didn’t blow my socks off, but if you want a straightforward, good old romance story, then you might like this.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the first book in a series. Wildly unbelievable, but still a fun read. No nanny for a prince would be hired in this way. The children were cute. Quick romance 3 stars

This was a great read that involved such sweet little girls, a handsome prince and a woman who fell in love with them all. Leslie North does it again with here awesome writing and story telling!

Katie and Armin have rocky start but Katie helps Armin and his adopted kids adjust to their new lives together. I loved the drama that Katies journalist scandal brought to the story. Like all Leslie North book series that I have read it ended with a sweet togetherness. Now onto book 2!

Blacklisted from her job and despite for money Katie, takes a job as a nanny feeling it's the only other job she's qualified for. She took the job taking care of two kids that the youngest prince took. someone tries to blackmail Katie into getting the dirt on the royals for them or telling Prince Roth who she really is. Not having anything else to do Katie relents. But the more time she spends with Roth and the girls the more she falls for him and the girls.

Super fun read, especially on a day too hot to be outside! Felt like I was in a hallmark movie...ready for a sequel! Very enjoyable and an easy read!

A short and sweet romance between a prince and his nanny.
It was too short for me to really get a get a sense of their developing friendship and romance. There weren't enough cute moments or humorous interactions between them.
The story is typical of the genre and follows a very predictable path but enjoyable enough for a lighthearted read.

Katie Crestley has been blacklisted as a journalist and is running out of money. Her only previous experience is child minding, and she thinks her luck is finally starting to change when a job opportunity as a nanny comes her way. She manages to secure the job taking care of the two adopted daughters of Prince Armin whose family rule the European country Stolvenia.  

An unscrupulous newspaper editor blackmails Katie to get information on the Royal family as the country is rife with anti-royalist feelings. Katie reluctantly agrees but finds it hard to complete her task as she begins to discover how selfless and kind-hearted the attractive Prince Armin is. 

Armin is struggling to resist his feeling for the new nanny at a time when his focus should be on the difficulties facing his country. When he discovers her deception, he is furious, can Katie make him see that she does genuinely care for him and his adorable daughters. 

This is an excellent easy read, perfect for a day spent sitting in the sunshine. 

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Katie Crestley is a blacklisted journalist who is desperate for money, Katie takes the only job she's offered as a nanny for the two adopted daughters of Prince Armin, the youngest prince of Stolvenia. Katie is approached with the opportunity of becoming a legitimate journalist if she spies on the royal family. She is told she either agrees or risk her scandalous past being revealed. She reluctantly agrees. But once she gets to know the Prince and his daughters she has a change of heart. Is it too late to make things right?

Kate is in Stolvenia trying to work as a journalist but her past keeps following her. Prince Armin has taken his best friend's daughters to raise after he and his wife are killed in an accident. The prince needs a nanny for the girls. This is the story about the four of them and how Kate falls in love with all three but is being blackmailed to tell some gossip about the prince. As she finds out more about what a good man the prince is she can't go on with the deception. A good read.

Got a free copy for an honest review.

The story is your typical prince and nanny romance read. There are a few twists and turns which makes it not boring to read.
