This is a fairy tale romance that is fun to read. Carol Grace tells a wonderful story. Suspend reality and enjoy the tale.

So do you get what you pay for? Sometimes. I guess though that it usually works in reverse where you don't end up thinking that it was worth what you paid for it! Nevertheless, this was free so the expectations were low and I was not disappointed. It was typical although a few times the normal human action or reaction did not readily appear. I'm not too sure that nannys or princes would behave thusly. Not awful but nothing to write home about either.

This was a nice quick story. If you're in the mood for a romantic villa setting, two main characters who have been hurt in the past, a little bit of angst, and a HEA ending, then you'll enjoy this book. If you're looking for something with depth, a realistic plot, and significant personal growth in the main characters - read something else. My only complaint is the too abrupt ending. Makes a good beach/summer vacation read.

Rating: 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

Simple storyline, interesting characters and enchanting descriptions of the sights, sounds and smells of Italy. But this book could have done with way more editing and punctuation. The characters too are never well developed, there is no suspense, no villains and the conversations are too abrupt, robotic even.

[Kelly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lots of spelling and grammar errors. The ending was abrupt.
The main characters sucked at communicating with each other, which led to more conflict than necessary.

The plot idea was cute though, I just wished the execution was better.

Got this free on my Kindle, not realizing it was a romance novel (not my style). Definitely glad I didn't pay for it. Although a cute story, lots of typos and could have been much more developed. Also, the ending seemed very abrupt to me.

I like the fairy tale.
The nanny goes to a prince in Italy to take care of his twins.

I'd read her again.

I loved the plotline. I reminds me very much of the Sound of Music. It was a nice 'feel good' book.

Worst book ever and the translation onto kindle was terrible.

Got this free on the Kindle...didn't realize it was a short novel...would have liked a better character & story development. For the short that it was it was ok.

Another good short read from Carol Grace.

Utterly predictable

[Kitty Banda-gowland · Rating 2 out of 5]

Even for an easy read I didn't find it very good.
A lot of repeatitive character thinking. Confusing dialogue and thoughtprocess.

Cute, traditional storyline though.

[Jennifer Greene · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun, quick fairy tale. But the back and forth banter near the end was a little tiring.

[Ali · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quite good, and funny. I would compare to Sophie Kinsella.
