This book is a case of insta-attraction. Which of course, is common in these books. Elly Anderson is a geneologist doing work on a family tree (a royal family tree) which leads her to having to tie up a loose end.
Daniel Eastwood is the loose end, a previously unknow illegitmate heir to the Elbian throne. He is also, several months older than the reigning legitimate heir, something that causes a bit of a stirr. It ends with the pair and her father being holed up in the royal palace of Elbia along with the half-brother king.
To even the dramatic scales, Elly has a dark past. Her mother having died trying to have another baby. This and pressure from her father have forced her into deciding never to have any natural children.
With the insta-attraction it is hard for Dan's desire for a family and some roots and Elly's aversion to having a family to find a happy middle ground. This is the real dramatic tension of the book--remarkably, the royal ancestory is more of a setting than actual tension.
Its a pretty enjoyable book. By the end of it, one is pretty convinced how much these two characters (despite the insta-attraction) care for each other. The supporting characters are pretty amusing too, but don't play as major a role as I might have enjoyed.
