4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely story, July 22, 2008

This review is from: The Tycoon's Princess Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)

In only 185 pages Natasha Oakley has created a beautifully crafted story with fully developed characters.

Isabella is a princess of the Mediterranean island of Niroli. She desperately wants to be taken seriously and believes that she has hit upon a perfect solution to add commerce to her country. She wants to build a hotel on the beaches of Niroli which has a spectacular view of the neighboring island country of Mount Avellana.

The two countries fought a bitter civil war twenty years before and now Mount Avenella is a democracy while Niroli remains a monarchy. Domenic Vincini happens to be a citizen of Avenella and he owns the land that Isabella wants in Niroli. He despises Niroli not wanting it to prosper but even more has dismissed Isabella as a selfish royal.

Isabella has come to Rome to pitch her idea to Dominic and when she meets him she is surprised to discover that he is the survivor of a fire with some terrible burn scars on his body and some on his face. Dominic lost his wife and child to a fire years earlier.

Domenic agrees to sell the land if Isabella agrees to spend a week on Avellana. She does and this is where the novel becomes so incredibly powerful. Isabella is so deep and caring and well, genuine. Like Domenic, I forgot that she was royalty. Domenic longs for her but knows he is not the handsome man he used to be. Isabella is photographed constantly and he believes his scars will limit their relationship. Isabella fights for every scrap of privacy so fighting for Dominic comes easily. Together they forge a beautiful and heartfelt romance.

If you want to read just one book of the Royal House of Niroli series, this is it. I love Isabella, also the way the heroe is a flawed one. You will enjoy this one if you're a romantic like me.

The Tycoon's Princess Bride (The Royal House of Niroli)This is the first book I read by this author and loved it. I liked the tension and the love story--thought the writer made it very, very romantic. I've read a number of her books and enjoy seeing how she resolves these conflicts that appear unsolvable. But she lets love work its magic...great stuff.
