Marianna Hedley is finally getting her life back together after she walked in on her boyfriend of three years in the arms of another woman. Now she’s pretty much sure that the emergency room where she’s a nurse and he’s a doctor is the very last place she wants to be. So when she gets wrapped up in helping out a handsome man with a head injury—at the beckoning of his mother—she reluctantly agrees. Once she’s sure this foreign stranger is safe, she leaves the ER and swears to never come back.
Prince Leonardo DeLuca is in America with one mission—propose to the woman he doesn’t love because his parents think it will be the best thing for their country. When he is out for a run and hits his head, he takes this opportunity to fake amnesia with the hopes that his parents can’t force him to marry someone he doesn’t remember. Right? Wrong. His parents don’t care and try to convince him that he will grow to love the woman he hates.
Desperate to get away, Leo “accidentally” proposes to Marianna as part of a plan they’ve concocted. She’ll get away from her ex and his parents will have to go along with the proposal because if not, then they would have to admit to the press that the soon-to-be king is not of sound mind. Everything was going according to plan, until Leo and Marianna soon discover how kind and generous the other person is and their feelings blossom from friendship to something more.

My Review: 4 Stars

I'm a royal lover at heart and love to read stories about a normal, every-day-girl finding love with a prince. Marianna is a nurse and ends up caring for Prince Leo after an accident. How could you not swoon over that?!

Leo and Marianna are fun characters, with a few flaws. I loved how they accidentally became engaged, but would have loved more banter and incidents to go along with it. Leo is contradictory at times--he's so supportive and strong where Marianna is concerned, but has a hard time standing up to his own mother. That's how life is I guess--easy to give advice, but hard to take it for yourself.

I loved the interactions that Leo and Marianna had with one another, especially in the romance department. Swoon worthy, for sure! The relationship that she has with his little sister is especially endearing.

This is one sweet, enjoyable, modern-day fairy tale that wormed its way right into my heart.

Content: mild, swoony romance
