"Being engaged is the perfect way to avoid getting married." -- Prince Nicholas Dumont

Prince Nicholas Dumont's royal relations were forever trying to marry him off to this princess or that heiress. But their latest choice -- a shy, awkward American billionaire's daughter, more interested in computers than in men -- was a disaster. And that made her the perfect "fiancee."...

A fake engagement to this "ugly duckling" would let him return to his first love -- medicine -- and would surely never go anywhere. Except...Tara York was turning into a swan -- a confident, sensual, extremely desirable woman -- before his very eyes. And suddenly, he was aching to truly make her his princess....

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale to savor -- Very highly recommended, May 9, 2002

This review is from: His Majesty, M.D. (Man Of The Month/The Royal Dumonts) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

Following eight failed matchmaking attempts, Tara York journeys to Marceau to become a guest of the royal household. Her father has hopes this attempt will be more successful than earlier matchmaking attempts, but Tara has perfected the art of making herself completely resistible. Baggy clothes in the worst colors, thick glasses and a carefully dull personality have kept previous suitors at bay. But then, she has never met a man like Prince Nicholas Dumont before.

Nicholas has more failed matchmaking attempts to his credit than even Tara. He would rather practice medicine than produce royal heirs. But when he meets Tara, Nicholas finds himself captivated by her determination to present herself as undesirable. Nicholas is used to women throwing themselves at his feet, and the challenge to get to know Tara results in a deeper attraction than he cares to admit.

Leanne Banks gift for dynamic characterizations makes HIS MAJESTY, M.D. a delightful read. Tara York's determined ugly duckling routine cannot conceal the passion and honesty that draws sexy Prince Nicholas Dumont like a moth to fire. Despite his best intentions, Nicholas will quickly learn that heated passion cannot conceal compelling emotional complications, despite his best intentions to allow them both to maintain their independence and goals to seek very separate dreams. Secondary characters likewise add complexity, including a queen who wants her son married and a sister with a perchance for shopping and rebellion. This perfect balance between fun and sensuality deftly demonstrates why Banks has earned such accolades as Romantic Times Career Achievement awards for her writing. A tale to savor, HIS MAJESTY, M.D. comes very highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid Banks romance, June 14, 2002

This review is from: His Majesty, M.D. (Man Of The Month/The Royal Dumonts) (Silhouette Desire) (Paperback)

Sexy hero, independent heroine, pithy repartee and hot sexual tension are present in Leanne Banks's latest Desire. There's nothing new to make this stand out from the plethora of royal offerings from Silhouette Books, but it's a nice heroine-in-disguise/transformation story, with fun characters and plot events. Although it doesn't hold a candle to one of Ms. Banks's best category books, The Lone Rider Takes a Bride, it's still a good, solid category romance that won't disappoint most readers. Also, although the "missing royal" continuity element has been shamelessly overused in category of late, it's still engaging enough as presented here by Ms. Banks. A nice, solid read.
