Katie Crestley is in a world of trouble. A blacklisted journalist and desperate for money, Katie takes the only other job she’s remotely qualified for: nanny to the two adopted daughters of the youngest prince of Stolvenia. But just as she’s given up on her dream of becoming a legitimate journalist, the editor of a major Stolvenian newspaper approaches her. With a new anti-royalist movement … growing in the small country, getting the dirt on the royal family could lead to big things for Katie’s career. She’s reluctant, but if she’d rather stick to her morals, then the editor will just have to let the royal family know about her scandalous past—ensuring she’ll be fired.
With little other choice, Katie caves to the blackmail and agrees to spy on her boss. Problem is, the longer she works for Prince Armin Albericht Von Roth, the more she realizes what a good, selfless man he is. Worse, she’s falling hard for him and knows he’ll never forgive her if he finds out what she’s done…
Armin always does what is right and believes everyone else should follow suit. Structure, rules, and protocol are what’s important. So he’s taken aback when he learns his late best friend named him guardian of his two little girls. What does he know about children? He’d thought a nanny would set things straight, but Katie is far too pretty, far too free spirited, far too distracting. She doesn’t follow rules. She doesn’t understand the importance of structure. She’s getting under his skin, disrupting not only his life, but his very thoughts—which seem to be centered more and more on her…
But as Armin begins to fall for his daughters’ beautiful nanny, can he forgive her once he finds out what she’s really doing in the palace? Or will it be best for him and his daughters to forget the pretty American who made their lives a little brighter?

When Katie Crestley finds herself blackballed in her professional field, through no fault of her own, she backs up and applies for a position she has experience in. She was a Nanny during her years at college to support herself.
When Prince Armin stumbles across a strange lady, beautiful one at that, playing with his daughters whom he adopted after the death of their parents. Their Father was his best friend. He hired her on the spot because it was the first time since the death of their parents he had heard them laugh and he liked the sound and had to keep the woman that made it happen as their Nanny.
The chemistry was unmistakable between Armin and Katie and she seemed to bring out a different side of him, the parent.
But Katie was being blackmailed for information on the royal family and she could not produce the information that the rag of a newspaper was looking for so she had to come clean with Armin and left immediately.
Was this the end before it ever really began or would Armin go after her? Grab a copy of this book, a glass of wine and get ready for a little adventure as another Prince bites the dust, this one is Prince of Stolvenia and another handsome one 😉

Prince Armin Albericht Von Roth adopted his best friend’s twin girls after their parents died. They have an immediate attraction. However, Katie finds herself being blackmailed after a sleazy reporter approaches in the park. She gives in. With all that stands between them , the class differences, the secrecy and her fears is a relationship even possible?
This is a wonderful contemporary romance between a royal price and a nanny. The characters are amazingly well defined and the narration fills in their backgrounds allowing the reader to grow attached to them and invested in their story. The dialogue adds a lot to the depth of the book. The writer weaves all the elements of a great romance, including a steamy scene, to provide a compelling story. It is a story about trust, compassion, finding your true self and what is really important. I loved how the characters grew and developed over the course of the novel. The emotional drama is impactful as the characters deal with internal struggles and external obstacles. It is the first in a series and I, for one, can not wait until the next one comes out.

Katie was the nanny to Armin’s adopted twin daughters. He was the youngest prince of Slotvenia and was quite progressive in his political approach to his country. The story was interesting, world building was good, and the characters were strongly portrayed. Good read.

I love Leslie North and sometimes I worry that some of the stories may start sounding the same as they have similar themes. However, I love that this was somewhat different. Prince Armin hires Katie as his adopted daughters’ nanny and after a rough start, they start to get to know each other better. Katie begins to see the real man he is and helps him connect with daughters better and he starts to open up. But she gets blackmailed into providing palace information and she tries not to, but she knows if he finds out, he will let her go. What happens when real feelings get involved? Katie has to make a hard decision and it’s up to Armin to forgive. The two girls are adorable and the background stories and the intertwining stories give more depth to the characters. I loved it! It didn’t hurt that there was an epilogue but the story is also left open for us to finding out more in the subsequent stories. I can’t wait to see what happens with the brothers.

The story of Katie and Armin is wonderfully told. It is beautifully written with beautifully developed characters. You can feel their personalities and chemistry throughout the story. The story is full of romance and drama. It pulls you in and keeps you there until you reach the end. The descriptions throughout the story allow the read to vividly picture the scenes. This is most definitely worth reading.

Will Katie be able to get under Armin’s skin
Leslie is a top 10 author for me and this one did not disappoint. Prince Armin is looking for a nanny for the twin girls he adopted after his best friend and wife died. Katie sees the nanny job as a fortuitous position after her money ran out touring Europe. But will Armin accept Katie after her secret is revealed? You have to read to find out and will be turning the pages to see how it ends!
WOW – Leslie doesn’t disappoint! These American women who find their Prince is too much. This book is about Katie and Prince Armin. She is a journalist by trade that is blacklisted and is now looking for work in what she knows how to do which is care for children. When she goes for the interview, she is told immediately that she is not what they want due to her background of a journalist and what the kingdom is going through, so she see herself out, except this is where she meets both girls Lily and Seraphine and spends time with them. The Prince of course realizes that she is very good with them and chooses to hire her immediately. This is where the story takes off as Katie is then blackmailed to obtain information while in the kingdom against the noble Prince.
Will he be able to forgive her once he finds out the secret she is holding? I loved the ending – did not expect it but was wonderful. I can’t’ wait to read about the brothers.

Having been caught up in a scandal, Katie Crestley couldn’t hope to get a journalist job in the United States. So now she was in Stolvenia where there was political unrest with people wanting to get rid of the monarchy. But until she landed a journalist job, she needed to find work to pay the bills, and her fallback skills were in the area of childcare. She applied to be nanny for the youngest prince of Stolvenia, Armin. Not only would she be perfect for the job, but it would give her a good close look at how the monarchy really worked. But from the start of the interview, the woman told her “Hiring a former journalist to care for the prince’s children is a risk. And while you are qualified in terms of experience, I’m not convinced that you are the best candidate for the job.” She had to agree with that, but she needed this job. However, she was turned away.
Heading out of the building, a ball rolled toward her and Lily, one of the Prince’s adopted children, ran after it. She asked for biscuits for herself and her sister, Seraphine. Since Katie didn’t have any, she offered to tell a story instead and the girls dragged her off to the sitting room. She read the book they found 3 times and they were laughing aloud when Prince Armin walked in! As she tried to scurry out, he asked if had interviewed for the nanny position. He told her the girls had not been so taken with anyone else and if she wanted to be their nanny, she could start the next morning!
Everything had been going so well for a month, but one day the girls were unhappy. The sun was out and the park was nearby – they wanted to go there. So Katie finally gave in and they sneaked out to the park. A man sat on the bench next to her and introduced himself as Ciril Papazyan, editor for the Stolvenian Defender. She immediately told him she had nothing to say to him. She tried to move away, but he offered her an opportunity – which she refused. He wanted her to watch the royal family, take some notes, and pass them along to him every once in a while. He even hinted at a job offer. Maybe she would have been tempted, but no longer. She didn’t want to dig up dirt on people who trusted her! She called the girls to her and they returned home. The Prince argues with her about taking the girls out against their schedule, and Katie tells him he needs to spend more time with them and that her parents died when she was that age – so she knows what they need.
When Papazyan demands a meeting, he blackmails Katie into getting him information with the threat of revealing photos of the two of them having a very amiable conversation in the park the day she and the girls sneaked out. He smirked that it would be difficult to explain to Prince Armin. She still tries to protect the royal family and give the editor nothing inflammatory. But she can’t go on feeling like a betrayer and tells Prince Armin the truth as she resigns. Will that be the end of it? Will he let her walk away? Will Papazyan viciously attack the royal family with lies anyway? And who else at the palace may be involved?
This was a very good story that keeps the reader attentive as we see good people with good intentions trying to do the right thing while everything goes wrong. Prince Armin is trying to build a new orphanage for children and a school for them so they can be educated – but the builder doesn’t want his reputation hurt by working for the monarchy. Katie is trying to do right by the family and is blackmailed so that the editor can get his sensationalist, scandalous dirt on the royals, even if he has to lie. With all of this intrigue, you won’t want to ignore this book! Grab your copy and find out if good can come out of the chaos!
Katie’s a journalist, but she made an ethical mistake and has been blacklisted from her profession. Prince Armin’s closed friend and his wife died in an accident, and he has adopted their twin daughter. He hires Katie to be their nanny. The girls adore her, and the prince is smitten with her, until it leads to something more. Unfortunately, she’s being blackmailed into providing information on the royal family to a sleazy newspaper. And her sleazy contact threatens to ruin her. There is eventually a very happy ending, but not before a lot of unnecessary heartbreak. I’ve not ever read a Leslie North book that was the least bit disappointing, and the same is true of this one. It was a fairly short read, and a plot that was interesting but not too complicated, and I loved every minute of it!

I enjoyed this romance. Prince Armin is a man with a strict moral code. To him everything is either right or wrong and Katie is a woman that’s hiding a very big gray area secret. I thought that the plot of this book was interesting and I liked the characters. I would have loved to see more heat and heart in this story. Although I could feel a bond forging between him and Katie, I never got those intense feelings of falling love and passion flaring between them.
