“She’d escaped—but she’d lost her memory and her kidnappers were still on the loose. Now Princess Gabriella needed a protector fast, and brash American Reeve MacGee was the perfect man for the job. The handsome ex-policeman could handle absolutely anything—except falling in love with the stunning, vulnerable woman in his care.”
This book was the first one I've ever read by Nora Roberts and it was interesting. I tried her on by chance when I ran out of things to read on vacation and my aunt happened to have this book on hand. The characters were VERY real and well-developed and I was impressed. I must say, however, that Nora Roberts isn't exactly my cup of tea.
First off, I don't make a habit of reading books that take place later that the 1900's and this one was meant to be set in a "modern day" fictitious setting. I liked it all well-enough, but was not entirely impressed. I'm a little ashamed to say that the "love" scenes were not nearly as...(how do I put this delicately?)...descriptive (?) as I am used to and it made it a little bit hard for me to read. I'm actually embarrassed to say that, when I got to that point, I was expecting a something BIG because of all the tension building between Gabriella and Reeve, but all I thought was "wow...that's it...?".
Through this all, I think I may have to read the other books in the series because the characters of Alexander and Bennett did, in fact, captivate me. They were polar opposites while Gabriella was merely a mixture of the two of them. I would have really liked to read more from Reeve's point of view, but what can you do?
