Bestselling author Sariah Wilson has never jumped out of an airplane, never climbed Mt. Everest, and is not a former CIA operative. She has, however, been madly, passionately in love with her soulmate and is a fervent believer in happily ever afters--which is why she writes romance. She grew up in southern California, graduated from Brigham Young University (go Cougars!) with a semi-useless degree in history, and is the oldest of nine (yes, nine) children. She currently lives with the aforementioned soulmate and their four children in Utah, along with three tiger barb fish, a cat named Tiger, and a recently departed hamster that is buried in the backyard (and has nothing at all to do with tigers). Her website is www.sariahwilson.com.

A fairly standard romance plot line but with very good character development and a couple of small plot twists that I didn't predict. My one small beef would be the occasional time when the protagonist is 'dense'; for example, if someone watches so many Disney movies that she has a favourite fictional prince then surely she should know to put her arm through Nico's when he offers her his arm.
As Sariah said in her book everyone loves a great Cinderella story and this is definitely a very great story. I really enjoyed the style of writing and highly recommend this book.
Most people's embarrassing moments don't end up helping you meet a prince but they do help you meet the love of your life. In this stories case it did both. Kat had her heart healed, found family, success, love and happiness. Nico found his partner, best friend and soul mate. I laughed, cried and hoped for this pair. Glad they had Lemon to help give them the push they needed.
Loved Nico and Kat. Loved Nico's family and the way they were part of the story. His little sisters are so loveable. I didn't want the story to end and am happy that there are two more books in the story line.
Very well done. I found this story to be very real. The characters were well-developed. I enjoyed the humour, the sensuality, the clean romance. I look forward to reading more from this author. Recommended.
Kat had a very rough and poor childhood so she planned out her life completely and stuck to her carefully laid out path, never allowing herself to be distracted. She has one more semester to go to graduate with her degree in social work and her plans won't allow anything to get in her way. At Christmas vacation her very wealthy best friend, Lemon, talked her into going on a skiing vacation to Monterra.
She met an attractive man, Nico, but tells him she's not interested, even though she finds him very attractive. The first time Kat went skiing she started out on the easy slope but accidentally got on a difficult hill, going very fast and out of control. The man she rebuffed saved her. Nico turns out to be Prince Nicolas of Monterra and he takes her and Lemon to his palace to recuperate.
I just loved this book and will definitely be reading it again. There are lots of Prince and the Pauper type stories but this one was done so well that I got totally engrossed in it. I liked the characters especially Nico. He wasn't just a prince but handsome and thoughtful too. I felt sorry for Kat's troubles earlier in her life but because of that she didn't know how to behave around royalty and that made it funnier. I liked the romance between Nico and Kat and how they each wanted to be with the other all the time because each of them felt better when the other was with them. Nico's little sisters were cute and added a lot to the story.
A light and nice reading. Sometimes we just need to sit down, get yourself a cup of tea and read a cliched romance. And I really liked both the story and the characters. I also liked a lot how the writer managed the plot twist (Even if it was obvious what it was since the beginning...)
Wenn man es als Märchen sieht, hat es vielleicht sogar 4 Sterne verdient...?!? Und der "Traumprinz" ist natürlich umwerfend ;)! Ansonsten ist es mehr oder weniger "Stolz + Vorurteil" in modern (ohne die vielen Schwestern) - und diese Geschichte und ihre Abwandlungen liest man ja immer wieder gern!
