He’s a prince, and I’m his wedding planner,
But I didn’t plan on having his baby!Sasha:

It was supposed to be my dream job,
Plan the no-expense-spared wedding of a European prince.
But it’s not the fairytale wedding everyone thinks,
It’s a loveless engagement, for a sham marriage.
And now I’ve broken my one rule:
I’ve slept with my client.
Dashing playboy Prince Antonio
The man no woman can tie down
Is going to be a father.

Antonio:

The King and Queen gave me an ultimatum;
Find a fiancée or surrender my claim to the throne.
They never said I had to love the girl.
There is one plus side to this arrangement though…
That sweet little wedding planner giving me eyes.
She knows it’s wrong, and she wants me all the more for it
And something tells me she’ll crumble the second I make my move.
I’m gonna give her something to feel guilty about.
After all, I’m not married yet…

My Review:

Not having read any other books by the authors before, I was really excited by the synopsis of the book. Though the idea is not new, the story itself was exciting and well executed. In the story we are introduced to Sasha, a wedding planner whose work schedule has kept her busy and a need to get away is just what she needs. That is how she ends up in San Paluzzi, a small nation tucked within Italy, whose population include the wealthy of European society. It is full of glitz and glam, and most of all a monarchy who strive for perfection. After spending two weeks in San Paluzzi, Sasha is ready to go back home when she stumbles upon a handsome stranger who happens to be a prince. He tells her that he is going to get married and offers her the job as his wedding planner. She accepts his offer, but the more time she spends with Antonio the more she wants him to be hers. When the truth about the wedding comes out things began to change and her life will never be the same. 

Prince Antonio di Maggio has it all, the privilege of being royalty and his looks could get him just about anything he could possibly want. Yet, the only thing that he wants has been put at risk as his playboy reputation threatens his future. When his parents give him an ultimatum, he is ready to get married in order to get the throne, but he never imagined to meet Sasha and now his whole future is hanging on the balance now that he has discover that he is about to be a father. 

I very much enjoyed reading the book, at the beginning I thought their encounter was a bit rushed. Antonio doesn’t hide his identity and when he tells Sasha who he is, she takes it rather calmly. I didn’t liked how Antonio reacted when Sasha told him about the pregnancy, but it all worked in the end. I do wished the author could have extended the ending a bit more, it all seemed a bit rushed for me. Overall, it was a quick read that I’m sure a lot of people will like if you’re into these types of stories. I’m a sucker for a good romance between royals and non-royals. I recommend checking it out. ;)
