Her Royal Wedding Wish
by Cara
Colter
A
joyous romance!
Cara Colter's Her Royal Wedding Wish is a
captivating reverse play on
the Cinderella story in a short romance. Fine character development and
a fun plot make this book a top choice for short romance lovers. As
well as being a wonderful escape read on one level, Her
Royal Wedding Wish has a powerful message about
independence and love.
Princess
Shoshauna of B'Ranasha, a very conservative land
especially when it comes to women, faces a marriage arranged by her
father. All her life, she has had servants to pamper her and take care
of every wish. What is everyone's fantasy has become her prison.
_Propriety and her station in life forbid normal activities from
cooking to swimming. Even her choice of hairstyle is dictated and
judged by others. Jake Ronan is a member of top notch multinational
military unit composed of the cream of the crop from the SEALs, the
Delta Force, The French Foreign Legion and more. As a member of the
unit, code named Excaliber, Jake has been hired to protect the Royal
Princess and the wedding. What appeared to be an easy job on an almost
vacation spot, turns into a full time alert when someone fires shots.
Jake scrambles, taking her away from the chaos to an exotic island
where he can protect her.
Taken away from
her royal setting, this royal princess is now free
but will she be safe? As she explores all those forbidden things like
bikinis and haircuts on the way to the island refuge, Jake knows he has
met trouble! Everything she does draws attention to her but his job is
to hide her, make her blend in or become invisible. When Jake and
Shoshauna are finally alone together and safe on a deserted island,
Jake's trouble really starts. Her exuberance for life and ordinary
things fills him with joy and amusement. Her beauty is undeniable but
friendship and their growing love distract Jake from his professional
duties. One slip can endanger her life! Can Jake let go of his past
enough to love the woman before him? Can Shoshauna in her new found
freedom discover the inner strength to become her own woman and make
her own way in life rather than letting others dictate her actions?
As Cara Colter
pits a weary hardened soldier against a pampered
princess, she joins an innocent, almost childlike freshness of life
with a hardened soldier who carries a past of sadness and
disappointment in his heart. Through her heroine's eye, Cara Colter
stands the Cinderella fantasy on its head, allowing the modern woman
reader desiring escape, to rediscover some of the joys and freedom in
the small daily acts that seem to be a chore. As the royal princess
becomes a full person choosing to be independent, Cara Colter gives the
reader a beautiful and powerful look into the power of a woman who
lives life to the fullest whether it be cooking or surfboarding. Cara
Colter doesn't stop there, however, but takes this image beyond simple
notions of independence. Several moving passages about the chemistry
between the hero and the heroine develop a portrait of romance that
includes independence and intimacy, bliss over surrender. The final
scenes when the Princess must return home and confront her intended
Prince Mahail are priceless, packed with humor, spunk and emotion. In Her
Royal Wedding Wish, the narrative has a smooth, gradual
feel. The
breakthrough moment feels rich and almost spiritual. At the same time,
this romance is full of joy. I laughed and smiled as the heroine found
herself. Her Royal Wedding Wish made me see my own life through a
news
lens, a prism that made annoying moments in life happier and full of
life.
Cara Colter's Her
Royal Wedding Wish is a must for short romance
lovers who are also cat lovers. From the sad but heart-felt Dear Reader
note and dedication that prefaces her romance to the images of cats
interlaced at emotional points in the story, this romance will have an
added emotional effect on cat lovers!
