"...a memorable love story."
Once I began reading The Prince's Virgin Wife, I was compelled to keep reading. The story flowed, moving forward quickly, and built a memorable love story.
Principe Tomasso Scorsolini has set a trap to catch Maggie, his housekeeper from his college days, because he wants a wife and mother for his children. Maggie knew him only as Tom Prince, not the actual prince he is. Tomasso is looking for a peaceful married life, but he requires passion and because of a single sexual encounter with Maggie, he knows he will find passion with her.
What I liked about Maggie was her ability to handle Tomasso's arrogance. Tomasso is single-minded in his efforts to get Maggie to become his wife and Maggie is just as determined to avoid the fate of being married to the man she's been in love with for the last six years. She desperately wants her own family, but she's been in the foster care system since she was a young girl and it seemed she always had to earn her place. A marriage to Tomasso seems a little too close to a reenactment of her place in all those other families. I love that Maggie is so able to stand her ground even in the face of her own desires.
The children are key players in this story of boss-wants-nanny and yet they never interfere with the forward motion of the story. I didn't find them an annoyance, and I'm usually very unforgiving of children in my romance. (Children in a story are usually a major stumbling block for my enjoyment of the story.)
Maggie and Tomasso are well-fated and their story is a good one.

Book Description for The Prince's Virgin Wife
If I find you naked in my bed, I will fire you on the spot. Maggie didn’t need Tom Prince’s warning. She knew her gorgeous Italian boss was far out of her league. But it didn’t stop her wanting him…
Now Principe Tomasso Scorsolini needs to marry. He’s had enough of gold-diggers. Innocent Maggie will make a highly convenient wife! She doesn’t know that her new royal employer is the man she’s dreamed of for years, or just what he intends her duties to be. Being naked in his bed is no longer a sacking offence — but a requirement!
