This Cinderella didn't plan on a prince . . . Kat MacTaggart is a girl who has a plan for everything-including her holiday ski trip to Monterra with her best friend. Everything is going according to plan until she finds herself careening out of control down a mountainside and being rescued by a guy who looks like Superman's hotter Italian cousin. HRH Prince Nico is intrigued by the woman he saved on the slopes and her refusal to date him. He offers Kat a deal-let him show her his country and he'll pay her to write articles that will help Monterra's tourism industry. Kat agrees, but given her past and lingering distrust of men, she has one condition-absolutely no kissing. Thanks to the claims of a jealous British noblewoman and the schemes of a meddling paparazzo, Kat's rule doesn't seem to be a problem at first. But the more Kat gets to know Nico and the people around him, the harder it is to remember her keep-your-distance plan. Should she stick to it or risk everything for a chance at happily ever after?

There were only a few things that pissed me off about this beautiful-happily-ever-after book.
1) I was pretty darn annoyed when Kat didn't immediately tell someone, anyone, about Seamus's offer. I understand and accept how she debated about it at first (or second, really, since she'd made up her mind about not doing it before Seamus left the money and phone with her), and I'm very glad to see she still didn't make a stupid decision by committing to Seamus' nefarious plan. But still, I am very displeased with how she didn't tell someone right away. The tension just kept building and building because we, the readers, knew her decision to keep this quiet would blow up in her face. Thank Sariah Wilson, it didn't blow her whole face off. And thank her again for avoiding a whole misunderstanding-leading-to-a-sort-of-break-up-with-lots-of-unnecessary-heartbreak. And let's just give her another thanks for making sure Nico was smart enough to read the signs and see that Kat isn't with him because she's interested in money. THANK YOU SARIAH WILSON.
2) When the king kindly informed, subtly threatened, Kat about the women in Nico's past who'd screwed him over for fame and fortune, and Kat immediately said she wasn't interested in those things. Um, excuse me, but I believe you are interested in fortune, no? Did you not have a whole chapter about the guilt you felt for being tempted by Seamus' offer?
But yeah, those are basically my only concerns/criticisms. I don't think I need to fangirl to anyone how simply amazing this book this.
