But something happens that wasn’t suppose to happen, Prince Bennett is drawn to Hannah and her to him. She must show no emotion or she can ruin the plan that was planned out for 2 years. Nora Roberts is the author of The Playboy Prince. The problem Hannah has to face is lying to the people that she’s starting to care about. She feels bad lying to Eve and Bennett because Eve is starting to become a friend and she’s starting to fall in love with Bennett. The thing is that she can’t risk having them know who she really is because it’s her job. Once she Deboque’s organization collapse, she is to leave Cordina and return to her home. Deboque wants to have everybody in the Cordina’s Royal Family killed and he will do anything to achieve it. He kidnapped King Armand’s daughter, Princess Gabriella, and even bombed a place that he thought King Armand would be but King Armand had a change of plan and Deboque killed other innocent people. As I was reading the first couple of chapters, I was going to stop reading because it was kind of boring. If I hadn’t reread the blurb and read ahead, I probability wouldn’t have known how good this book was. There were so many actions towards the middle of the story. I prefer to read books with action because it gets me excited. I would recommend girls/women who enjoys reading books with kings/princes/princesses and actions (bombs/guns). Reading this book made me realized that being a royal is all that fun because there could always be someone out there that would do anything to see you gone. But there are always people who will do whatever they can, even if they have to risk their own life, to save them.

This might be the first one star rating I've ever given a Nora Roberts novel, because normally I adore her. At first, I really enjoyed it. The characters, world, and plot were all fleshed out and interesting.As I got to know the characters more, however, things got a little creepy. Namely, Bennet comes off as a major creeper. Yes, I suppose Hannah is putting on an act, and that her prim-and-proper thing is merely a facade. I got as far as the scene where he cornered her in the ballroom before I got too sick to continue. At one point, she says "actually, you're making me uncomfortable" and he responds with "good. I want to make you uncomfortable." Boundaries? Hello? The second time they meet, he walks right through their personal bubble and kisses her "because he wants to figure something out." Nooooope. I had red flags going off all over the place. I understand that she responded internally with "hubba hubba, I want to bang this fella" but she didn't say it outwardly, and despite his playboy reputation, Bennet should have picked up on the "nope, she's not interested" and at least slowed down his approach. Or not been a total creeper dick.Couldn't finish it. I got it as part of a twofer though, so I am going to read Camilla's story. Thusfar, it's going better.

Gw udh re-read novel ini lebih dari 5x dan tiap kali membaca novel ini selalu berakhir sama yaitu perasaan sangat suka. Nora Roberts benar2 apik mengemas karakter heroine dalam mengimbangi si hero.Hannah, Lady of Rotchild, merupakan agen ISS yg berpenampilan sederhana; kaku; dingin; cerdas; sangat pendiam&lebih suka menyendiri. Pangeran Bennet, putra ke dua dari Kerajaan Cordina, yang digambarkan sebagai pangeran yg senang berhura-hura, tdk mengerti mengapa sosok Hannah bisa membuat dirinya tertarik&tergugah. Interaksi antara hero dan heroine ini sangat dinamis dimana satu sisi Hannah hrs berjuang utk menolak pesona Bennet agar tetap fokus dlm tugas rahasiannya& Bennet tdk mengenal kata menyerah trs mengejar Hannah dalam segala hal.Gw pengen banget si Hannah di kasih satu sesi berinteraksi dengan ke-2 anjing Benner yaitu Boris dan Natasha sama bermain lagi dengan Pangeran kecil Dorian..itu slh satu adegan favorite gw di buku ini...Sayang sekali bahwa ada pengkhianatan yg tak terelakkan antara Hannah dan Bennet..lalu bagaimana dengan Deboque?Silahkan dibaca novelnya
