Prince Maxim Malenkov is being called home to marry someone that had been arranged for him, but he doesn't want to do that. When he spotted a Dr. Pearson on TV, on-air ambushed into finding a husband by midnight, he thought "why the heck not..." // Dr. Deanna Pearson, aka DC Love Doctor, is divorced (which also inspired her research and her current business) She had made 199 matches so far, and it all worked... but an on-air ambush made her add herself to the list... she had to get married by midnight on her reality matchmaking show. When Maxim applied, she's beyond ecstatic... He's the most gorgeous man she'd seen... and rich, and a genuine royalty. AND they have an excellent match score. However, Maxim has his own problems: they had to rush home (to Europe) immediately after the midnight wedding, and it's clear his brother the King did not like how it's going, yet cannot tell him outright why, for there's fierce Royal intrigue, conspiracy, and powerplay behind the scenes... and Maxim and Deanna had to rely on each other... Then Deanna found out her staff had tweaked the score to make Maxim match with her... Her science was flawed... and he may have to divorce her to save his dynasty...
Okay, the palace intrigue and such is quite good. My only problem is Deanna was later described as black. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention, but it seems race just NEVER CAME UP until I noticed that sentence at the end. Otherwise I like the book quite well.
