Royal Pursuit

The third in Kearney's Royalty The Crown Affair series (Royal Target and Royal Ransom are the first two - King Nicholas and Princess Tashya's stories), this one follows Prince Alex. Nicholas' younger brother Alex is in the US to see the opening of the embassy for the new small country Vashmira carved out of what was old USSR. The previous books saw Alex's father killed, and Nicholas coming to the throne,and an attempt to kill his new Queen, kidnapping of their step-brothers and attempts on Tashya's life. So it's distressing, but not too surprising when Alex's immediately meets with an assassination attempt. He is forced to run for his life, no money, no identification. He runs to Taylor Wells a female PI. He wants her to go undercover, posing as his wife, so they can be hired his embassy to be groundskeepers and caretakers. Giving him a chance to investigate. Taylor agrees. She is drawn to the handsome playboy, but after a rough life she does not trust any man. Taylor must fight her attraction to the Prince, protect his life, and find out who is behind the conspiracy out to destroy Alex's family. It's a fast read, engaging characters, making one want to find the other books in the series.

This is the third book in the Crown Affair series. Alex is being targeted by assassins in the USA and he hires private investigator Taylor to track down the assassins.All in all a good read. The Prince was the usual suave, handsome, brave man who found it intriguing that Taylor didn't trip all over herself to please him.Taylor has a lot of baggage from her father and ex-husband. I found her to be the more interesting of the two characters. They were an interesting couple and I enjoyed reading the drama and romance that they were involved in.The book is well-written for a "typical romance." I didn't learn anything nor did it make me think. That is exactly why I read it.
