The Little Lady Agency and the Prince

THE LITTLE LADY AGENCY AND THE PRINCE: Hester Browne: Pocket Books: 2008: Fiction: 391 pages

This is the third book in the Little Lady Agency, and my favorite in the series. I was little hesitant after seeing the title. The idea of having a prince as a potential love interest seemed a bit cheesy, but I read it anyways and was pleasantly surprised.

Melissa who is now engaged to her sophisticated boyfriend, Jonathan Riley, must once again deal with her overbearing family and a fiancé who is pressuring her to sell the Little Lady Agency and move to France with him. While making plans for her wedding, Melissa’s grandmother asks her to turn slimy Prince Nicolas von Helsing-Alexandros into a perfect gentleman so he will be allowed to return to his tiny country after his family was kicked out two generations ago. But Nicolas is a much smoother man than she’s used to fixing and she may be in over her head.

What I enjoyed most about this novel is the growth and development of Melissa. She stands up for what she wants and makes some difficult decisions creating some-what of a surprise ending.
