The Barnes & Noble Review
Kasey Michaels kicks off the special two-in-one volume Heir to the Throne with a glimpse into the life of modern-day royal Kelly Carradigne. The lovely American-born scientist, whose medical research saved the life of her great-uncle, King Easton, is honored when he offers to name her his heir. However, once she's experienced some of the more stifling aspects of royal protocol, she understands why her brother and so many of their cousins have refused the honor. Agreeing to be crowned queen makes her the target a deadly enemy...and interferes with the romantic plans she and her handsome bodyguard long to explore in this fun contemporary romance. Next, Carolyn Davidson crafts a satisfying historical romance exploring Korosol's past, as Kelly's ancestor, long-lost king Alex Carr, attempts to secure his destiny in Korosol using skills honed in his dangerous life in exile. He dreams of sharing his life with Rebecca Hale, and their struggle to overthrow a false ruler will make history and serve as an inspiration to later generations of Carradigne heirs. Sue Stone
