"FALLING FOR THE SECRET PRINCESS"--The rules of royal romance may just have to be broken for the sake of LOVE!

Falling for the Secret Princess

A reunion…

…fit for a princess in disguise!

At his friend’s wedding, millionaire Finn couldn’t take his eyes off the gorgeous stranger whose naivety intrigued his cynical heart…until she suddenly fled! So, while on business in Montovia, he’s shocked to come face-to-face with her — as Princess Natalia! Finn’s once again compelled by their instant connection, but Natalia’s duty makes a future impossible. Unless he can convince her their love is worth breaking a few royal rules for…

MY REVIEW: Author Kandy Shepherd brings forward some of the characters and story lines from her delightful "Sydney Brides" series to create the sweetly sparkling contemporary romance "Falling for the Secret Princess". We met the royal family of the small European principality of Montovia in "Crown Prince's Chosen Bride", when Prince Tristan chose to marry Gemma Harper, the non-royal love of his life. Now, it's Tristan's sister, Princess Natalia, who will have a date with Fate. In disguise as non-royal "Natalie Gardner" in order to attend a friend's wedding without causing a paparazzi storm, Natalia meets Finn O'Neill, a wealthy wedding guest. An immediate spark of attraction flares between the two, but Natalia must keep her secret. At age twenty-seven, she had rejected a number of hand-picked royally-suitable suitors, but she wanted the same type of true love and happiness that her brother had found. Regretfully, she leaves Finn behind without an explanation, and without him knowing her true identity. Three months later, they will meet again when tycoon Finn arrives in Montovia for a lucrative business deal. Their surprise at seeing each other again is complicated even further by both Finn's anger at her deceit and by her longing for her romantic dreams to come true. Is it possible that their attraction will become much, much more--perhaps the love of a lifetime? Can the magic that worked so well for Tristan and Gemma strike twice and weave a happy spell for Natalia and Finn? Kandy Shepherd has a magic touch herself when it comes to enchanting her readers with appealing characters and involving story lines. Highly recommended for romance lovers!

Crown Prince's Chosen Bride

The people's princess!

Chef Gemma Harper is on a dating break, so the last thing she needs is gorgeous stranger Tristan tempting her into a fling…especially when he's revealed as the crown prince of Montavia!

Gemma knows forever isn't possible with duty-bound Tristan, but swept off her feet by this charismatic prince, she's determined to make every moment count. And when Tristan throws out the royal rule book, a happy-ever-after could be within Gemma's grasp…if only she's brave enough to say "I do!"

MY REVIEW:  Author Kandy Shepherd continues her delightful “Sydney Brides” contemporary romance series with Book 2, “Crown Prince’s Chosen Bride”. Gemma Harper is a talented chef and a partner in the successful party-planning business, “Party Queens”. Nearing the age of thirty, she is coming out of her self-imposed six months break from dating. Leaving behind the heartbreak of broken romance and moving forward into a happy, prosperous future is her new plan of action. Just as she is confident of keeping her rules for romance, a mysterious, very attractive new client makes use of the Party Queens superlative service to plan a business reception. Tristan Marco is not what Gemma expected, and he is equally taken by the beautiful auburn-haired chef. After their first meeting, Tristan arranges a surprise date. During the course of their time together, Gemma is stunned to learn that Tristan Marco is actually Tristan, Crown Prince of Montavia. Gemma already had trust issues, and now she has broken her own rules and fallen for someone whose handsome charms easily deceived her heart. Tristan never expected to meet someone as captivating as Gemma, but he has royal duties he cannot ignore—or can he? Is it possible that a royal can choose his own commoner bride and live a life of true and lasting happiness? Those who believe in “happily ever after” will enjoy this charming modern-day fairy tale from wonderful storyteller Kandy Shepherd.

Kandy Shepherd





Kandy Shepherd is an award-winning author of contemporary romance. She swapped a fast-paced career as a magazine editor for a life writing fun, feel-good fiction. She lives on a small farm in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia with her husband, daughter, and a menagerie of four-legged friends. Kandy believes in love-at-first-sight and real-life romance--they worked for her!

She won the hotly contested RUBY award from RWA for best short romance novel of the year with Conveniently Wed to the Greek (her May 2017 release from Harlequin Mills & Boon).

Kandy's holiday story from Harlequin Romance is the Christmas-themed GREEK TYCOON'S MISTLETOE PROPOSAL (November 2016).

Also published in 2016 books two and three in the Sydney Brides mini-series from Harlequin Romance, CROWN PRINCE'S CHOSEN BRIDE (March 2016) and THE BRIDESMAID'S BABY BUMP (July 2016). Book one GIFT WRAPPED IN HER WEDDING DRESS was published in November 2015.

Two stand-alone romances from Harlequin Romance were published in 2015--HIRED BY THE BROODING BILLIONAIRE (August 2015) and FROM PARADISE TO...PREGNANT! (June 2015.)

Kandy's Dolphin Bay trilogy for Harlequin Romance is now complete--each book can be enjoyed separately but continuing characters all link to the Morgan family. THE SUMMER THEY NEVER FORGOT is the first (February 2014). It is followed by THE TYCOON AND THE WEDDING PLANNER (July 2014) and A DIAMOND IN HER STOCKING (December 2014).

As well as her titles published by both Harlequin and Berkley Sensation, Kandy is the author of the e-book romances THE CASTAWAY BRIDE (an Amazon best-seller) and SOMETHING ABOUT JOE; and the contemporary women's fiction title, REINVENTING ROSE.

REINVENTING ROSE, was inspired by her Kandy's years working as an editor in women's magazines, in particular the reader makeovers she enjoyed so much. REINVENTING ROSE is about love, friendship and the magic of a makeover.

SOMETHING ABOUT JOE is a heartwarming love story. The hero is hot, smart, great with kids, and he can cook--what's not to love about Joe Martin? But stressed-out executive and single mom, Allison Bradley, fights it all the way when she finds herself falling in love with her little boy's new nanny. Joe is one of Kandy's favorite heroes--he actually came to her in a dream!

Kandy's Amazon bestseller, THE CASTAWAY BRIDE, is a sexy, unashamedly escapist romance about a runaway bride who is shipwrecked on a tropical island with a mysterious stranger.

LOVE IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD, Kandy's debut novel for Berkley Sensation, is a romantic comedy set in San Francisco about a little dog who inherits a big fortune and the people he brings together.

Kandy's second book for Berkley Sensation, HOME IS WHERE THE BARK IS, is a tale of romance, mystery and dogs. It's a follow-on book from LOVE IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD, and tells the story of Serena, the heroine's best friend in the first book. HOME IS WHERE THE BARK IS is a stand-alone story that can be enjoyed without reading the first book.
