Review:
I really enjoyed The Prince, much more than I thought I would. This story was like Gossip Girl with spies. Kind of that over the top super-rich not really believable yet love reading it kind of way. Because I didn't actually believe Huntley was a super spy and part of this super secret organization, but I loved the story regardless. She was still badass and saved the guy she was protecting so it worked.
Huntley is a spy on a mission. She and her "brother" are sent to Montrovia to make sure the prince doesn't get assassinated. At first it seems like it might just be a fluff assignment, but then people really are out to get him and it is a good thing Huntley is there. She keeps him from getting killed multiple times, but she has to play it off like she didn't really know what she was doing and is not trained to do things like this. It was fun.
Through it all Huntley grows closer to the Prince, but also to another guy she meets along the way. They are both super hot, but she is not supposed to get involved. This story had a lot of teenage drama, lots of hot men and women, lots of Gossip Girl-esque scenes. I loved it. If was over the top and a bit crazy, but that is why I enjoyed it. If it would have been toned down it wouldn't have been as much fun. I can't wait to see what fun adventures are in store for Huntley in the next book.
