title: A Royal Pain (Unruly Royals)
author:  Megan Mulry 
description: Career woman Bronte Talbott never intends for sexy Brit Max Hayworth to be anything other than her TMtransitional man. But as the Duke of Northrop, Max wasnt raised to be the love-em-and-leave-em type that has burned Bronte in the past. The two meet in a Chicago bookstore eight weeks before Max finishes his doctoral work and has to return to England to assume his title. Max is reluctant to reveal his lineage when he discovers that Bronte is obsessed with the royals, but the sudden death of his father reveals his secret, and Bronte realizes that it is she who will be making a transition. Mulry, a newcomer to the romance genre, moves between the perspectives of Max and Bronte with perfect timing, and their relationship is believable in its idiosyncrasies. Though the premise may be that of a fairy tale, the very human characters keep the plot fresh, funny, and engaging, with Mulrys lavish descriptions of fashion an added bonus. --Amber Peckham
