A male—and royal—Eliza Doolittle meets a female Professor Higgins.
Having completed his military service, Prince Marco diTalora of San Rimini wants only one thing on his return home: his freedom. He has good reason for avoiding the public eye, and little interest in his father’s plans to immerse him in royal life. In the hours before his brother’s high-profile wedding, he dodges the media hordes … media hordes for a few hours of respite.
Amanda Hutton is an ace at her job, working with children of the rich and famous to ensure they have the skills to navigate life in the public eye. But she’s between clients and under financial stress, so when she’s invited to serve as a royal bridesmaid in beautiful San Rimini, she views the trip as an essential escape.
Amanda soon finds herself hunting down Prince Marco and dragging him out of a casino’s private gaming room. When she gets him to the church on time, she figures her interaction with the rebellious—and flirtatious—prince is over. But then King Eduardo offers her the solution to her financial woes in the form of a job…and it’s not a child he wants her to tutor, it’s Prince Marco.
It’s an offer she can’t refuse. Then again, Marco just might have something to teach Amanda.

Prince Marco diTalora is San Rimini’s version of a royal bad boy. His aversion to any political or royal duty is widely known. Why work when you can play? Enter one Amanda Hutton, an etiquette expert who teaches the children of high profile professionals, politicians, celebrities etc. how to navigate being in the public spotlight. Now she’s been engaged to impart her wisdom to Prince Marco. His success will guarantee her future success. Marco finds that he’s more comfortable with Amanda than any other person in his life other than his family and close friends. Amanda is not immune to Marco’s charisma or easy going nature but there’s no future for them because she has a dark secret and he’s a prince, after all.
Nicole Burnham is one of my favorite authors writing one of my favorite troupes in romance. She has built a beautiful world to get lost into with characters that I’ve gotten invested in. This was such a sweet read that provoked my emotions of heartbreak as well as heartwarming. Prince Marco and Amanda make a wonderful couple that I hope to see in other books. This will be worth putting in my to be read again collection.
I love the San Rimini series and The Prince’s Tutor is no different. Love that the siblings are close and always there for each other. Marco’s story is a little sad. He was there when his mom passed away, saw how his father, the king suffered of broken heart so he avoided love all together until he met Amanda. Can’t wait for the next books and hear about Jennifer and Anthony.
This is Book 3 of Royal Scandals: San Rimini Series.
This is the story of Marco & Amanda. Marco is a crowned Prince. Amanda teaches children of high society how to speak at special occasions, and politely have a conversation without getting to close to people who are after money or titles. They meet when the bride, her best friend, sends her to find Marco so he is not late for the wedding. The King hires Amanda as a tutor for Marco because he is very uncomfortable at social gatherings. They keep denying their feelings for each other. Amanda holds a secret within her. Marco doesn’t want to deal with anymore loss as he felt when his mother died. It all comes to fruition as time goes by. This is an intriguing story. It grabs your attention from beginning to end. I’m looking forward to Book 4 of this series.
I enjoyed returning to the beautiful island of San Rimini. Prince Marco is the wild, erratic son of King Eduardo. It is time that this prince grows up and be a full time working royal. Amanda, is an American nanny who has molded and guided many children. She taught these young people how to make good choices and become productive citizens. The king feels Amanda is just the person to tame the prince. Just the type of light hearted story we need while sheltering in place. This story has a happily ever after ending. Another hit from a wonderful author. I received an ARC for an honest review.
Today may not be a fairytale, but tomorrow could have it’s own happy ending. Burnham continues to tap into the heartache that makes us human and the hope that gives us the courage to try again. Marco and Amanda take a classic tale that has forever held a special place in my heart and make it their own. The Prince’s Tutor is a life lesson. Burnham spins a tale of life and love that blossoms out of a unique set of circumstances. With an empathetic sense of grace and a fearless sense of character, Burnham pulls the heart into a mesmerizing wonder of love.

I adored the previous story in this series, so was looking forward to Prince Marco and his happy ever after. Prince Marco diTalora is San Rimini’s bad boy. He spends his time, boat racing, hiking and skiing with his friends, so when Prince Antony weds his love, Jennifer, Marco must step up in royal family. His fear over large groups and speeches creates the kings newest project. Enter etiquette coach Amanda Sutton.
Amanda Sutton is Jennifer’s best friend and is in San Rimini as Jennifer’s maid of honour. Imagine her surprise when the king asks her to take on Prince Marco to prepare him to take a larger role in the royal family. They don’t start off well, when she finds him at a casino mere hours before his brothers wedding, but working one on one, brings new drama… Their chemistry is hot from first glance, and only heats up in the days and weeks following.
Seeing Marco pass his first real test, Amanda is so very proud, and they celebrate in their own personal way. But when life takes a turn at the palace, her own life comes to the forefront and the truth that she can never have a life with Prince Marco, and the rest of the royal family. Leaving her with no other option then to return the states and her old life. For Marco letting her leave was never an option, but as his fathers pushes for arranged marriages, he must decide – marry for real love or marry for convenience. Antony paves the way for Marco to make his choice easy, as long as he doesn’t lose her first.
