I actually read this series out of order (read book one, then book three, then book two), but this was still a fun, fast read that only took me about two hours to finish. This installmant of the royal Baranov family from the country of Alaska centers around Princess Alexandria Baranov, the sister who saved her father's life at the end of THE ROYAL TREATMENT. Suffering from insomnia, nightmares, and a wee bit of paranoia after that event, King Al (along with the royal doctor, Dr. Pohl), decide that Alexandria could use some time away. What ensues is Alex quickly arriving in North Dakota, even more quickly falling in lust with Dr. Sheldon "Shel" Rivers, lots of hot sex, royal misunderstandings, groveling, faster-than-the-speed-of-light courtships, and more sex. If you like MJD's stories, you'll like THE ROYAL PAIN. If you want a bunch of character development, deep meaning, a lack of swearing, and the answers to the meaning of life, you won't find it within these pages. All in all, a fun piece of fluff! Mary Janice Davidson has quickly become one of my favorite authors..The way she writes intrigues me, is sexy, and makes me laugh. ALL IN ONE BOOK! Every time I pick up on of her books i finish it that same day because I can't put it down. She is hilarious! You will love every minute of this book and will want to dive right into the next one asap! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:In a world nearly identical to ours, the North won the Civil War, Ben and JLo got married, and everyone dresses well to attend the Grammys. Oh, and Russia never sold Alaska to the U.S. Instead, Alaska is a rough, beautiful country ruled by a famously eccentric royal family, including oldest daughter, Princess Alexandria, whose acid wit and bad case of insomnia have turned her into a tabloid darling, a palace problem, and overall. . . The Royal Pain Marine biologist Dr. Shel ("Never Sheldon") Rivers has a problem. Some princess expects him to wait on her, hand and dimpled foot. His boss is taken with the royal redheadâ??brunette, whatever, it's not like he keeps track of that stuffâ??and nobody realizes that he just wants to be left alone in his lab. All alone. All the time. Weekends, holidays. . .it's all good. Now here's Miss Royalpants, insisting that he escort her around the marine institute, explain what he's doing, kiss her until her toes curl. . .no, wait, that was his idea. She's not even apologetic about being born into a royal family! Says it's his problem to overcome, not hers. Which leaves him with one option: to kiss her again. And again. And. . . So she's nothing like he expected. In fact, Dr. Rivers can see that this fantastic, exasperating woman has problems no princess should ever have to deal with. And he has an idea to help her get some much-needed sleep. Of course, it involves getting very, very tired beforehand, but if she's up to it, then so is he. . . In this delightfully madcap sequel to The Royal Treatment, the Baranov family is back and as unpredictable as ever, and a prickly princess and cranky Ph.D. are about to discover that love conquers attitude every tim Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Princess Alex has turned into a walking stressed zombie due to her insomnia. The family psychiatrist has decided that a break from her normal surroundings might help, so she suggests Alex take a trip down to South Dakota to help out with the opening of an aquarium that their family is funding. When Alex gets there she meets Dr. Sheldon Rivers who is being a pissy bitch about royalty walking around his work place. Alex thinks his rudeness and grumpy behavior is hot and pounces on him. From then on out there's lots of sex and bickering by the two protagonists and a small side plot involving Jenny, Alex's handmaid/PR person.
My biggest problem with this book is that there was no conflict. The book is almost entirely motivated by Alex and Sheldon bickering at each other. I'm a fan of character driven stories, but not when their personalities never even clash. Everyone gets along, there's no real build up about Sheldon hating royals or even Alex's insomnia. In fact those two problems... the two that were supposed to be the biggest driving conflict in the book? Hardly got mentioned. Sheldon's attitude about rich people was mentioned once in the very beginning and then never brought up until the last couple of pages. As for Alex's insomnia. Yes we see that she's not sleeping through most of the book but really everyone is pretty meh about it so when it gets solved that's your attitude too. Even though towards the end I started missing her insomnia cause it turns out that was the one thing making her character interesting.
I predict that in a week I'll look at this book on my shelf and think "What the hell was this book about?" because nothing happens. And oh lordy, the next one in this series is in the mail to me and its too late to stop it. At least, they're quick reads. ( )
