Hysterically funny read! If youre looking for The Thornbirds or The Tudors dont stop here. This is a book for those of us who worship at the altar of snarky dialogue. And for those who love a heroine so far south of Cinderella that she wouldnt have gone to the ball unless she was really bored or wanted to check out the appetizers. And a hero whos perfectly OK with marrying whoever Dad picked out and doing his best to produce an heir when hes not busy with his studies on penguins, of course. Is he surprised when she says no
Why wont you marry me? he blurted, then smacked himself on the forehead.
Whoa! Easy on the self-flagellation, there, dude.
Im supposed to woo you, he explained.
Well, dont waste the woo on me. Not that its not a really nice offer. Because it is!
So. Why wont you?
Because, frankly, being queen sounds like a gigantic pain in the ass.
I offer you a country and you tell me its a pain in the ass?
The basic setup is Alaska was never bought by the US so it seceded and set up its own monarchy. Now several generations later the royal family continues to be made up of intelligent but eccentric characters: such as the King who sneaks off to go fishing in disguise and Crown Prince David who knows that that hell be king one day but is far more interested in using his Marine Biology degree studying penguins. Enter Christina, newly fired from a cruise ship where she was a cook for objecting to the head chefs advances. She is a no-nonsense American with down-to-earth values who the King meets and decides shell be just PERFECT for David. As the first step he talks her into visiting them at the Sitka Palace
Cut to parts 2 & 3 preparations and the royal wedding
Christinas comment: Getting marrieds probably not so bad. Its all the screwing around beforehand that gives you a migraine.
On the way to the wedding, Christina proceeds to run roughshod over dress designers, protocol officers, catering staff, wedding planners, and various wedding traditions to finally achieve a royal wedding without frou-frou, a wedding dress she could breathe in, shoes she could walk in, and a Crisco-free wedding cake.
And lastly, part 4 if this was Cinderella it would be fade to black behind the And they lived happily ever after voiceover. But it isnt and things happen and the action gets intense
Again, this is a funny book. In fact, its a very funny book. Fun characters, intriguing setting and a plot that moves right along. Enjoy!
