The Perfect Prince by Michelle M. Pillow
4.0
Nadja,from afar, looks like a pampered princess with the world at her feet. But up close she is trapped in a golden cage. Every minutiae of her life, including what she eats, wears and who she meets is controlled and monitored by her father. Her father is a powerful doctor in the "medical mafia" and when he announces that she is to marry his coleague, she realises that the time has come to flee.
Nadja ends up on the Galaxy Bride’s ship with Morrigan from book 1. Nadja wants a low key groom, a miner, farmer or local doctor. Nothing glamorous that will be broadcast on the news and alert her father to here whereabouts.
Prince Olek, 2nd of the 4 princes, is an ambassador. He knows that having wife would benefit him in his duties and dealing with offworlders. His crystal selects Nadja and he is ecstatic with its choice. He sets out to woo her and Nadja knows that if and when she removes Olek’s mask she is bound to him from that time on. She understands their traditions and knows he can't say too much but believes he is a simple working man.
The feathers fly when Nadja realises that he is a Prince, she believes she has fled from one cage to another. She believes that being married to royalty will bring her father to her doorstep. There is much conflict but also passion between Nadja and Olek. I also loved the rapport between her, the other princesses and the Queen. It was very much girl power LOL. The worst happens and her father finds her but will she capitulate or will she fight for her freedom?????
As with other Mandy books, this overlaps with other books in the series so that you see the same action from different perspectives. I took to Nadja a lot more quickly than I did Morrigan. She seemed to just make a niche for herself with the locals and acclimatise that much better. The final set piece in the show off between herself and her father was wonderful and I would have been disappointed if Olek removed the problem for her.
A well deserved 4 stars and looking forward to the next in the series.
