The Royal Mess (Wheeler Softcover) [Large Print] [Paperback]

MaryJanice Davidson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2008 | Series: Wheeler Softcover

Jeffrey Rodinov is descended from one of the oldest families in Alaska, and a Rodinov has been protecting a Baranov for generations. No one ever sees Jeffrey Rodinov coming, and no one-not even a mouthy, illegitimate princess-is going to keep him from playing bodyguard when his king decrees it.

But no Rodinov ever had to protect Princess Nicole Krenski. Her credentials? Hunting guide in the Alaskan wilderness. Smart. Stubborn bordering on exasperating. The lady says she doesn’t need a bodyguard, but that’s where she’s wrong. Someone needs to watch her and show her the royal ropes. Someone who can make her feel like a queen-in and out of bed.

This review is from: The Royal Mess (Alaskan Royal Family, Book 3) (Paperback)

This is the third and possibly final (say it ain't so MJD!!) book in the Alaskan Royal Family series. Alaska is not a state it is its own country ruled for generations by the Baranovs. The first book in the series was The Royal Treatment (Alaskan Royal Family, Bk 1)followed by The Royal Pain (Alaskan Royal Family, Bk 2).

When King Al receives a letter from a woman claiming to be his 30 something illegitimate child, Al can't wait to meet her and welcome her into his zany family. Nicole Krenski loves the outdoors and is a wilderness guide in Alaska. She writes the letter to King Al as she promised her mother she would do so. She plans to have no contact with him after that; she wants no part of the royal life.

King Al and his bodyguard Jeffrey show up at Nicole's trailer hoping to lure her into the family. Hilarity ensues and the journey from guide to Princess begins.

It seems like forever since I read the last two books and I was concerned I wouldn't remember the family or the previous stories. It took no time at all to reacquaint myself with the Baranovs and all their eccentricities. Nicole is a typical MJD heroine; she's loud, brash, sarcastic and sexy. Her chemistry with the intelligent and dutiful bodyguard was electric and this book was impossible to put down.

At the end of this book MJD states that this is possibly the last of the Royal series, unless the Baranovs demand to be heard. I hope that they do because this is one family that is endlessly entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I hope you do to.

I couldnt even finish this book. The first one was great, the second passable, the third one awful. The characters are so irritating!

i usually like MJD books and download all 3 Alaska books. after reading the first one, I was sorry I download the others. all the books are so similar in plot and characters. the character are one dimesions with no depth or feelings. they jump into bed at the beginning of each book with no drama, conflict or conscience. there is no plot, no intrigue, no angst. sooooo disappointing. don't spend your money.
