Despite being part of the Harlequin Intrigue line, Royal Captive was light on both the romance and the intrigue. The book starts with the crown jewels of
Valtria being stolen while the princes are distracted by matchmaking schemes
and the daughter of an art thief is in town.
Prince Istvan, who has been burned by love, immediately suspects Lauryn
is responsible for the theft, so he takes off after her and they both end up on
a ship run by criminals. They escape, of
course, and then run around looking for the jewels while noticing how
attractive the other is. It was all
pretty snooze-worthy with a conspiracy to explain it all thrown in at the
end. On the plus side, Lauryn is a
strong female lead.
2/5
