His Majesty, M.D (Desire, 1435)

Rating:
Summary: A tale to savor -- Very highly recommended
Review: 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.

Summary: Solid Banks romance
Review: 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.

Summary: A good story
Review: This book is definitely a book that while predictable is thoroughly enjoyable. The ugly-duckling-turns-into-a-swan story is often over-used but if you haven't read one like that in awhile, you will like this one. The best part of this story is def the hero because he is not only a prince but a doctor to boot! Don't we wish this could really happen?
