Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-24 00:00:00 Gitte Pedersen [ He tells the Four that Julia is not qualified to serve because of her low birth--a secret she reveals in confidence when they make love for the first time. This creates a whole load of problems for Julia, causing her to go on the run or face being confined to a convent for the rest of her days. I was very angry with him, for hurting Julia that way. I understood of course that he was doing what was best for the country, or so he thought. But there was also selfish, blind ambition at work in his actions. At this point, I was thinking that Marcus was going to have to work really hard to dig himself out the hole he put himself into with his actions, and that Julia was a lot more forgiving that I am.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-13 00:00:00 Matt Atchison The premise for this one was great. A female super-spy wannabe with an intriguing background and an ambitious and attractive rival. Unfortunately, the book just didn't live up to the outline and, frustratingly, it was only for want of a few tweaks. The heroine was clearly super-smart, but I really struggled to think that she wouldn't see through the hero's "disguise". It could have been really entertaining if she had and then strung him along. Also, why make her The World's Most Beautiful? Why not make her ordinary-looking? It would have made the interactions with the hero really interesting. The excerpts from the heroine's erotica were rather long and tedious, although it added a nice earthiness to her, and the secondary characters were good, particularly her unusual household. The hero was a bit weak and disappointing, although not completely. So, the weakest of the Royal Four so far, but I still enjoyed it, just not as much.
