If you just want to escape real life for a little while and read a fairy tale, pick this book up. It makes for a nice escape into a world with castles, a handsome prince, and a beautiful princess. The couple has trails to go through before reaching their happy ever after, But the suspense was perfect.Izzy had been raised in the states by her uncle. He taught her everything he knew about cars. She was a mechanic, and a darn good one too. Her whole life changed when a limo pulled up to the shop where she worked. She found out she had a husband, and that she was a princess to a small country named Vernonia.Here is a sample from chapter 4 – A man was calling Izzy’s name, but she didn’t open her eyes. Her alarm clock hadn’t buzzed yet. That meant this must still be part of her dream, an odd mix of fairy tale and nightmare with a brooding, handsome prince holding her captive in a tower. “Isabel,” the man said again. She liked the way the three syllables rolled off his tongue. I-sa-bel. She snuggled against the pillow, wanting more sleep and more of him. The bed lurched, as if she were riding on a flying carpet that had come to a sudden stop. “Welcome to Vernonia,” the male voice continued. Where? And then she realized. Izzy wasn’t in bed dreaming. She forced her heavy eyelids open. Bright sunlight streamed through the window. She blinked. The plane had not only landed, but also parked. A small turboprop taxied by. Every single one of her muscles tensed. Yesterday had been real. The box, Her parents. The prince. She clutched the armrest. “Good morning Isabel,” Niko said from the seat next to her. Izzy saw nothing good about this morning. She was tired, surrounded by strangers and far away from home. She turned toward Niko to tell him as much, but her mouth went dry at the sight of him. Hello, Prince Hottie. Heat pulsed through her veins. The stubble on Niko’s face made him look sexier, dangerous.
