A review by theeditorreads
Il principe e la cameriera by Sarah Morgan
5.0
I am just in love with her writing! The camaraderie between the H/h is to die for, their slinging matches so funny, in fact, this is the first book among a long list of Harlequin’s which is as emotional as it is a fun read! Looking forward to lapping up all the books [a:Sarah Morgan|45898|Sarah Morgan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1485947728p2/45898.jpg]’s ever written!
Updated Review (after re-read):
I have joined Manali Dey, a friend on Bookstagram, for the #MillsandBoonReadathon for which we are reading 18 books, coz it's '18! This is Book 9.
Anyone who knows me knows that she's my favourite author. And this book, which I'm going to re-read, is my favourite book of hers.
Book 1 of the International Billionaires Series, the introduction by the author had me in splits. Shhh... No reason at all. (I haven't read the other books of the series.)
Waitress Holly Phillips is miserable after her boyfriend Eddie dumps her (practically accusing her of her virgin status), but she has to keep her chin up since she has to work. No time to mope around, as their team is serving the royalty at the Six Nations Championship (England vs. doesn't matter).
Unnerved by Prince Caspar's romantic exploits, the palace had asked for an unattractive server to approach him, so as not to tempt him. And according to Holly's boss, she's the perfect fit with her red hair and freckles, since he prefers blondes.
Prince Casper of Santallia comes in front of her just when she is about to cry, and with a close-up view of him, she is smitten. After expert seduction by the Prince boosts Holly's morale, as far as her body image issues are concerned, they give in to their mutual desire. But, he dismisses her cruelly, due to a misunderstanding on his part and naivety on hers, following an incident. That same incident leads to Holly losing her job, two weeks later she finds that she is pregnant, and with the media hounding her she can't even go back to her flat. He has strong reasons to believe the child she is carrying is not his.
I loved Holly's sunny nature and chatty demeanour. She was a delight to read. She may have been naive but certainly doesn't take anything lying down.
Morgan nails the humour in her books, and this was no different. Sending a charming Prince and his Princess to a rugby date, that's entirely something else!
But, there is so much hurt here. And it's almost towards the end when they reveal their pasts to each other. I loved Emilio's character, Casper's head of security. He is so defensive where Holly is concerned. There was a mention of the palace cats, I'd have loved to see some in action. And the way she dismisses Casper, ha! It literally had a happy ending, but still, I missed an epilogue. There's an eight-page guide at the end though, about rugby. And Twickenham Stadium where Casper and Holly met. And the places to visit nearby.
I have read a total of six books by her till now.

You will have realised how wrong you are about me and give me a big, fat apology.
You are so selfish! You just come to bed and do your whole, virile, macho-stud thing, and then you swan off, leaving me.
