The Playboy
Prince (1997)
I want
to separate out the novels when she reprints them in pairs, and I am
interested in original publication dates of things I read. This was reprinted from
the Royals of Cordina series. I read it a while ago, but it was usual Roberts
entertaining fare. Bennett is a prince of Cordina (sounds like a Morocco type
of country) who likes horses and is know as a playboy. Lady Hannah, who has
come from England to be a companion to Eve, Bennett’s sister-in-law, dresses
inconspiciously, but of course is beautiful. There is a cloak an dagger part of
the story, which of course only brings the two closer together.
Cordina’s Crown
Jewel (2002)
She is Her Royal Highness Camilla de
Cordina, who as the eldest unmarried Cordina royal gets a lot of paparazzi
attention, which finally gets to her at a Washington, DC gala. She takes a
rental car from one of the family and takes off incognito exploring
Northeastern America and herself. He is Delaney Caine, an archeologist, who is
temporarily laid up in his Vermont home with an injury working on notes from
his dig. On a dark and stormy night he ends up rescuing her, when her car goes
off the road. I enjoyed watching her trying to simplify her life, and him
slowly coming out of his grumpy academic mode, both finding things in common.
Of course there are the usual misunderstandings found in these books, and the
issue of her being royalty, but I enjoyed a glimpse into the world of
archeologists.
