Ruben was recently involved in a scandal where a lover of his recorded some of their sexy talk and then released the tape to humiliate him because he didn’t want to marry her. She’s also not thrilled when he asks her to pose as his fiancée for damage control reasons. They hit it off and agree to go on another date, which somehow leads to Cherry and Ruben making out in front of her apartment and getting caught by the paparazzi.Ĭherry is pissed that Ruben didn’t say, “Oh, BTW, I’m a prince” and rightfully so. She has lunch with the potential donor, Prince Ruben of Helgmøre, never knowing he’s royalty. She hears whispers one day about a very handsome visitor and goes to scope it out. I do want to add a trigger warning for depictions of child abuse in this book.Ĭherry Neita works in human resources at an elite private school in England. Also the heroine wears a Dolly Parton tee shirt to bed and fuck yea, Dolly Parton. The pacing was a little off at the end, but my appreciation for an emotionally-fluent hero let me overlook that. It was the read I needed for a crappy day and it went down like a hot cup of tea followed by a cookie. Contains mature themes.The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert made me feel really good. Unfortunately, Cherry isn't pleased with Ruben's 'fake engagement' scheme. There's only one way to turn this disaster around-and it involves Cherry, some big fat lies, and a flashy diamond ring. Now the press is in uproar, the palace is outraged, and Ruben's reputation is back in the gutter. But when paparazzi catch the pair, erm, kissing in an alleyway, Ruben's anonymity disappears faster than Cherry's knickers. Even better, when she propositions him, she has no idea who he really is. And bossy whirlwind Cherry's got the face, the body, and the attitude to make Ruben's convictions crumble. The outcast royal is rebuilding his reputation-all for a good cause-but he can't resist a pretty face. Prince Ruben of Helgmøre is reckless, dominant, and famously filthy. But a girl has needs, and the smoking-hot stranger she just met at the office seems like the perfect one-night stand. As far as she can tell, they're overrated, overpaid, and underperforming-in every area of life. Cherry Neita is thirty, flirty, and done with men. From bestselling author Talia Hibbert comes a story of wicked royals, fake engagements, and the fed-up office worker trapped in the midst of it all.
