What do You think about Command Performance (1993)?
Like the last one, just a cute little romance. I liked it a bit better than the first, possibly because I already knew the characters, possibly because they didn't have the amnesia plot-line which got a little irritating in the first one. Also, I pegged the killed the first time he appeared in the book vs. the last one where I was pretty sure, but kept questioning myself.Anyway. Light, fun, good sex, a few laughs, and who doesn't want to dream of being a princess even though we know what negatives come with that kind of public persona. Anyway, again, a nice light break from the heavy tragedies...but I'm diving back into the book-a-day, with a super drama next!

Prince Alexander is next in line for the crown. He has to maintain control of his life and his emotions. Long time friend of the family and theater producer,Eve, is invited to put on four performance in Alex's kingdom. She believes he has alway disapproved of her, but that is not true. There is someone out to punish the royal family and would love to use Eve as a pawn. I really liked Alexander, I could see him exactly in my minds-eye. Eve was likable too, if not just a little too stubborn. There is romance and excitment...good read! Hard to put down.

I have been an avid reader of this author's books for many years. In all honesty I didn't particularly care for this one. The main characters resolved their personal conflict much too soon for my taste and the romance part just seemed cheesy after that. The previous royal assassination attempt just wasn't explained enough for my taste...although I didn't realize this wasn't a stand alone book but book 2 of a series and I had missed reading the beginning of the Cordina story. The ending didn't come at the right time for me. It was almost as if the author had become bored while writing it and just wanted to reach conclusion quickly. After it did end I found myself extremely disappointed that there wasn't an epilogue to go into just how well the heroine had recovered from her ordeal and how she had adjusted to her new life. Sorry but I just won't be rereading this one nor (as I have with other of the author's books that I've read) waiting for a movie to be made of it.
