I usually pass on books with a suspenseful theme.  However, the synopsis of To Catch a Princess by Caridad Piñeiro sounded so engaging and cosmopolitan, I just had to read it. I am so glad I did.Princess Tatiana is an independent woman running her family's Atlantic City casino, Russian Nights, along with her brother Alexander. Southern New Jersey is where Tatiana feels the most comfortable, not being recognized and living a non-royal life. That is until her parents inform her of a promise they made years ago to the Grand Duke, a marriage arrangement between herself and his son.Unbeknownst to Tatiana, her brother's best friend, Police Detective Peter Roman, is really a royal and the Grand Duke's son.  Tatiana has secretly lusted after Peter for years and when they are in each others' company, their eyes sparkle with desire.  Tatiana and Peter will be spending a lot of time together in the near future, because he is overseeing the security detail during Tatiana's charity fashion show in Monaco. Recently, some very expensive jewels and heirlooms have been reported stolen, so high security is at the show is imperative.Naturally, Tatiana and Peter become much more than friends.  Their business dealings become very intense because a thief is among them.I enjoyed this sophisticated book.  The steam between Tatiana and Peter is sexy and hot. The story is well-written and the characters are likeable and alluring.  This story has a nice combination of heat, suspense and mystery.
