Prelim review: Its been a while since I picked up a harlequin romance title by an author I wasn't previously exposed to. However I'm kind of a sucker for ordinary girls who swap with their royal friends (or royal look-a-likes or twins swapping lives or anything in that brand of romance actually) and Borders had both books in the duology for 50% so...
I was pleasantly surprised! While I still kind of grew exasperated by the sheer amount of miscommunication that occured between the leads, I enjoyed...more

I have been buying quite a few Jessica Harts, after reading (and loving) Juggling Briefcase & Baby.
This one unfortunately didn't quite live up to my expectations - too much head-hopping (pet peeve of mine) and also umm... less realistic than previous Harts (I know, I know - it IS an M&B, but I think I prefer something more rooted in reality).
Oh well. I did think the release was spot-on timing-wise, what with Wills & Kate's wedding at the same time.

Bueno, a mi me gustan leer algunos libros de Harlequin (Esos libros romanticos pequeños que venden en las revisterias y que seguramente nuestras mamás leen) pero es que, después de terminar una aventura en libros fantásticos o sagas adictivas, me gusta leer un libro entretenido sin muchas páginas, ideales para leer mientras estas en bus camino a la escuela (¡Además de que son baratisimos!)
Sin embargo, este libro, sí que me gusto un montón, (ya me he leído varios de esta autora) Ademas pensé que...more

I loved this book. I'd been put off getting it for a while by the hideous UK cover but as I own almost all Jessica's books I knew I'd end up giving in. A lovely sweet satisfying read. I could have done without the brief epilogue and had more time at the ending bit but the dialogue was so lovely and the hero and heroine so good. It's another 5 star read.

This was such a lovely story! I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! Just another sweet and fluffy love story about an ordinary girl, who happens to be best friends with a princess, and how she falls in love with her best friend's cousin, the Crown Prince. A lovely story about how, underneath the titles and glitz and glamour, a Crown Prince is just a regular guy.
Very cute story. I'd definitely recommend it.

Awesome, delicious read! Each word held me spellbound...I fell in love with the quirky Caro and princely yet vulnerable Philippe. It was one of those books you couldn't wait to find out the ending but never wanted to end. Jessica Hart is one of my all-time favorite authors. I will be reading this again soon.
Loved this book. It made me laugh, cry and sigh. Read it in less than a day and kept meaning to put it down, but I was so caught up in the story that I kept missing the chapter headings and so kept reading!

I really liked it! I've read many stories with the same formula, and I'm not going to say that it offers something new, because it kinda doesn't, but I still like it.
I really like it.

Oh my. This book is so awesome. An ordinary girl who got to live with a prince. I think even Cinderella will envy Caro if she can have the chance reading this book :)

This was quite cute.
I haven't read a Jessica Hart title in a long time, and I'm sorry now that I haven't.
This is a poignant, funny, and romantic tale that, unbelievably (because I don't typically do this over Harlequins unless it's written by Betty neels) made me cry.
I can't wait for Lotty's tale.

Awwww. Stupid "doing the sensible thing" interlude annoyed me but a HEA = yay!

After a haphazard career spent working and travelling around the world, I stumbled into romance writing as a way to fund a PhD. My first book, A Sweeter Prejudice, came out in 1991, and since then I've written a further 59 books, some of which have won awards in the US and the UK.
