BOOK REVIEW Release Date-1/12/12 I really enjoyed "At His Majesty's Request" by Maisie Yates much more than I was expecting to. This was a sweet and poignant tale that I couldn't help but like. Matchmaker Jessica Carter is tasked with finding a suitable wife for Prince Stavros Drakos. he doesn't require or want a love match just a certain list of qualities that must be met. The most important being that she provide him with future heirs. Watching his father the king crumble and morph into a shell of a man after the death of his wife Stavros sees love as a weakness and only requires duty in his future spouse. The only problem is that all candidates put forward for his consideration pale in comparison to the lovely quirky and snarky matchmaker. Stavros cant get her luscious curves and prickly personality out of his head. Trouble is Jessica is not suitable wife material for him at all. In return, Jess is fighting like crazy to batten down her hatches and resist her attraction to the sexy prince. Both damaged by there pasts and against her better judgment the two succumb to there lust and mutual magnetism. Knowing that this affair is going to be short-lived before they both get on with there lives. So I loved both main characters here, they were just so relatable and human in their interactions with each other. I especially adored the backstories they were both dealing with it made them both seem much more approachable overall. This was not major angsty and apart from the obvious, there was no OW action that felt wrong. There was, of course, the matches put forward by Jessica but this felt totally separate and we never really get to know them as people, so it didn't really cause an issue, as it was all so cold, sort of like a job interview. Stavros himself even uses that terminology when describing his future union. This was told from both Jessica and Stavros's POV helping to get a well-rounded insight into reasons for both their emotional states. I also found this to be so sad and heart-rending there were instances I got an actual lump in my throat from the emotion conveyed here. This was a great read that kept my attention.

"Marry the jaded prince and receive a title, a small island, a castle and a tiara. Matchmaker extraordinaire Jessica Carter arranges marriages that work. And that is exactly what Prince Drakos is looking for. The last thing he needs is someone as unsuitable as her ... but none of the beautiful socialites paraded before him excite Stavros as Jessica does. Usually unchallenged, Stavros welcomes Jessica's defiance--his fingers itch to lower her prickly facade and discover what lies beneath. Will Jessica agree to his final request? One month to exorcise their scorching passion, before he marries someone fit to be his queen"--Publisher. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
