After being pranked by her twin sister Sarah Summers now finds herself having to follow through and go on a reality tv show. This show could cost her so much including her job and life at home. Evan Mershano must go on this show in order for his parents to give him his birthright and the one thing in his life he has been working his entire life for. Unfortunately he doesn’t want a wife, but when he meets Sarah she is a game changer in all ways. I absolutely loved this book and this was my first read by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. The characters are engaging and witty. The secondary characters just add another layer to the story. Definitely a must read book.
Abbey and Sarah are sisters – they are identical twins in every way but one-
their personalities.
Abbey is the free spirit who thinks the world is her playground – she has never learned that there are consequences to every action
Sarah is the goal-oriented and more serious of the two – she has a plan and she has goals -she does not need a man to take care of her. Sure things are hectic right now, no spare time, no BF –
and that is how this whole mess got started!
Abbey has always felt Sarah needed to loosen up a little and live- so she auditions on a reality dating show as her sister Sarah- it’s a harmless joke right?
I fell in love with Sarah and Evan from the opening scene! They have so much personality and they draw you in and keep you until the last page.
This is one of those reads that you honestly can not put down! The characters are so alive and the supporting cast <3- I can not wait to read their stories!!

The Princes’s Game was the first book in the Mershano Empire series by Lexi Foss. It was also my first book by the author, but it definitely won’t be my last.
I loved the beginning. It set the stage for fun, humor, great characters and an entertaining plot.
Evan Mershano was the heir to the Mershano Empire. He was gorgeous, confident, smart and a workaholic. As part of the terms of his trust and inheritance, he had a time limit to wed and produce a child. He was the typical bachelor, so his parents orchestrated a reality dating show to find a wife.
Sarah Summers was a marketing executive. She had dreams of owning her own firm. She also had an identical twin who played pranks on her, including signing Sarah up for a reality dating show.
Although the premise had been set, the plot wasn’t straight forward. Neither Evan nor Sarah were looking for love or permanency. Floss took us through the dating production as well as private moments between Evan and Sarah. It was told from a single POV, Sarah’s. I enjoyed getting into her mind. I also enjoyed the snarky banter and the chemistry between the two. It was off the charts, sexy and entertaining.
For those looking for safe, not so much. It was a dating show, so other women drama was present, but not exactly like you’d expect. As to the plot, it came full circle and I liked the ending but I craved more closure. There were several issues that I wanted fleshed out more; which would have provided additional depth. Hopefully we’ll see more clarity in the second book.
Otherwise, it was a quick, humorous and fun read. Will (Evan’s cousin) and Rachel (Sarah’s best friend) have fireworks chemistry and I can’t wait to see where Floss takes us next in The Charmer’s Gambit.
Playing the Prince’s Game for a wife
Sarah unexpectedly finds herself as the latest contestant for the Prince’s Game, which includes dating Evan Mershano, heir and current CEO of the Mershano Hotel chain around the world. However, there are a few problems with this namely; she should be working as she isn’t interested in being some rich man’s wife she is more focused on her career; there are twenty nine other women competing for the same position and oh did I forget to mention, her twin sister entered her for the game placement and took off to Europe just before filming begins
Evan and Sarah have an unconventional start to their relationship but I really enjoyed the different nuances of this story and the unfolding events to bring us to the conclusion I was hoping for I voluntarily leave my honest review for this book after receiving a copy from Lexi in anticipation of Rebel’s Redemption being released soon
Wishing for 4.5! Well edited.
Sarah’s twin pulls a huge swap prank and lands her on a dating reality show with Evan as the ultimate prize. Neither party wants to be on the show, but here they are. Sarah had a plan for her life, and this reality show was not in it. Evan is married to his work and company, so being on this reality show is a real inconvenience. They strike a bargain that leads to more than either envisioned.
For something that is really just for entertainment, it raises the question – do our choices/actions really only effect us or do they also have consequences for those around us? Evan has a particular outlook on marriage, not because of his own experience, but because of what he saw in his parent’s marriage. Evan almost misses out in his own life because of the choices/actions he witnessed in his parent’s life. So glad Evan is able to let go and reach for his own happiness.
Funny, witty, and engaging. Great characters. Enjoy.
Engaging and fast paced, funny and unpredictable. I loved the chemistry between the main characters!
I really loved this love story of Evan and Sarah. Two strong characters that beat the odds and give me all the feels! I love that they treat each other as equals and are honest with each other.
I would recommend this read and can’t wait to read the next one!
I’ll start off by saying I loved this book and I had a slightly grumpy feeling inside when I had to put it down on the few occasions I did. This did surprise me a bit as the subject matter, gorgeous billionaire bachelor goes on game show, dates and judges 30 different women to choose a wife at the end, is not actually a TV show I would watch……normally!
The last thing Evan Mershano wants or needs is a wife, especially one who is really only there for the money, but to keep the peace and his inheritance, he agrees to play The Princes Game. He can always bury himself in his work after….. Right?
Sarah Summers is not happy to be a contestant on the game show, but thanks to a prank by her identical twin sister that has stepped way over the line, she’s stuck there until she gets eliminated, as soon as possible if she has her way (even if Evan turns out to be as hot as hell). Evan and Sarah strike a deal to give them what they both wish for when they discover the other doesn’t want to be there, but their water tight agreement doesn’t quite go to plan!
Both Evan and Sarah drew me in from the start, they are likeable and smart, people I like to think I’d get on with. The further the game goes along, the hotter their chemistry (and their “off camera” time) got. They were so good together, but both tried hard to deny where their feelings were headed. You can feel the tension and Evans obvious discomfort with the things he has to do to “make it good tv” I’d want to throttle Paul the director if I were him! Sarah was made to feel very uncomfortable at times, especially where one contestant in particular was concerned.
The story flowed, the backstage parts of the tv show were fascinating and resulted in a fabulous book I loved reading. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and more of Lexi C Foss.
