The Royal Treatment
This is a very, very funny book about a young woman named Christina Krabbe. She holds a waitress-type job on a cruise ship but ends up in Alaska out of work. It's not the same Alaska as the one we know, though. In this case, Alaska never became a state. It developed into its own country with its own royalty. The queen is currently dead, but the king is a very rough sort of person but very kind. He rules the Alaskans fairly. He wants his princely son to marry a nice girl. He sets his eyes on Christina when he meets her while out fishing. It happens, though, that Christina is sort of independent. The prince has almost an obsession with emperor penguins. There's one funny thing happening after another as Christina stays at the castle and then agrees to marry the prince, not realizing all the things she would have to learn about being a royal. There's a lot of sex in this book (there always seems to be in Davidson's works) but there's far more humor in this book than in Davidson's other ones, so much so that you will probably find yourself laughing out loud many times. A very good first book in the series. |
