review 1: My review:It was good and funny, but also a bit over the top. Maybe this was what the author was aiming for. I enjoyed this book, but did not laugh as much as I was expecting.Synopsis:It was his pheromones that did it. With one sniff, sex researcher Leigh Fromm recognizes that any offspring she might have with the mysterious stranger would have a better-than-average chance of surviving any number of impending pandemics. But when Leigh finds out that the handsome "someone" at her great aunt's wake is Prince Roman Habsburg von Lorraine of Austria, she suddenly doubts her instincts--not that she was intending to sleep with the guy. The royal house of Habsburg was once completely inbred, insanity and impotency among the highlights of their genetic pedigree. (The extreme "bul... moreldog underbite" that plagued them wasn't called the Habsburg Jaw for nothing.) It doesn't matter that his family hasn't sat on a throne (other than the ones in their Toilette) since 1918, or that Austria is now a parliamentary democracy. Their lives couldn't be more different: Roman is routinely mobbed by paparazzi in Europe. Leigh is regularly mocked for having the social skills of a potted plant. Even if she suddenly developed grace, charm and a pedigree that would withstand the scrutiny of the press and his family, what exactly is she supposed to do with this would-have-been king of Austria who is in self-imposed exile in Denver, Colorado?A handsome prince, gut-busting laughs, love, dirty ballroom dancing, pathetic commoners, sex factoids, Vienna palaces, cursing in German, random hilarity, little to no frogs. See why tens of thousands of readers have fallen in love with this Amazon bestseller! Because someday your prince will come...sort of.
review 2: Do you remember the Princess Diary movie with Anne Hathaway? This book is of the same genre.Leigh Fromm is a socially inept sex researcher who lives in a small house in a former trailer park. At her great aunt's funeral, she accidentally steps on a stranger's foot with her high heels. This handsome stranger happens to be Austria's Prince Roman who is now a tree house architect/builder. True, Austria no longer has a ruling monarchy but he is still a prince without a throne.They start a romance. He teaches her ball room dancing which is his hobby. They spend New Year's Eve in Stockholm when the Austrian government has a late night vote on New Year's Eve to reinstate the monarchy (really!?!). Prince Roman is now King Roman. But, what happens with his relationship with Leigh? They both have fallen in love with each other. Will Austria accept her as a queen or girlfriend of the king? The press have called her white trash and her security has nicknamed her Whiskey Tango (W T for white trash).Cute story and love conquers all. less
