LC.Library.Master | Jan 27, 2024 |  Here's my full review: http://www.sholee.net/2017/06/mpov-hrh.html (  ) Sholee | Sep 9, 2021 |  ) soosthemoose | Aug 30, 2016 | She is raised by her father, the king of their little country closeby to Russia and he's doing a fine job til her teen years and her mother has died. Her 10 year older brother is a playboy and goes from country to country accumulating women and cars and having fun. She is in prison at the palace but she does visit her wild cousin in England from time to time but her interests are so different than Christians. She is drilled from birth about duty to the country and people of the country. Her father knows the son will never lead the country and hopes she will some day. She does talk him into letting her help out with children Red Cross events that occur and is brought home a woman from what she experienced. Rather than going to charity evens, opening hospital wings, etc she'd rather be doing something that will make a difference in her life and she finds it. Helping doctors without borders in SA and she has to take her body guards along and check in from time to time but things change her even further there... Love all the detailed descriptions of the places she visited. (  ) jbarr5 | Apr 30, 2013 | Horrible deus ex machina to resolve the conflict. Very repetitive. And the phrase "SHOW don't tell" came to mind when reading this book. I can't tell you how many times it said something along the lines of "She was such a good girl, and she always did her duties." Ugh! Many times in my head, I was like "we KNOW that already!! Get on with it!" The only bright spot was that I did like and identify with the main character to some extent, but other than that, not much redeeming value here. I read one Danielle Steele book about 8 years ago, and I don't remember it being this bad. I wonder if I just had not developed any critical reading skills by then :) But this one makes me question if I will ever pick up another by her. Her style of books doesn't exactly appeal to me in general, but I like to read things by really popular authors just to see what all the fuss is about. I did this with Harry Potter, and I ended up LOVING it, especially after I got through the first few books. So sometimes it's worth it.
