All I Ask – Tamara Lush – NextBookAroundTheCorner

She’s a European princess. He’s a laid-back island lawyer. Is it true love, or a massive royal scandal?

Princess Isabella of Montignac is supposed to marry a prince that she doesn’t love. But he was caught on a viral video snorting coke off a stripper’s butt in Las Vegas, and she no longer wants to pretend for the sake of the royal crown. When she checks into the Paradise Beach Resort for a week of soul searching, a fat pug takes a wee on her travel pillow. Then the dog’s owner, a stunningly handsome man named Tate, asks her to dinner. But just when things are looking up, an unpredictable turn of events happens.

Isabella’s arrested for harassing an alligator and an island cop suggests she call a local lawyer. Turns out it’s a familiar face: Tate, the hot man candy from the day before. And since she has to stick around on the island to clear up her legal troubles, she and Tate have a hard time keeping their hands off each other. Will Isabella forsake everything she knows—a royal title, palaces and riches—for life and love on Paradise Beach?

My review

I was just enjoying All I Know and All I Want, when I saw the arc of All I Ask coming on Netgalley. So, of course, I had to request it. The story continues in All I Ask with Tate taking care of the cute pug dog, that they had rescued in the previous books. When the dog accidentally pees on the pillow of one of the guests of their resort, Tate asks the gorgeous woman out as a repayment. Little did he know, that this woman is a princess. Isabella cares more about her environmental work, than her throne. But when her betrothed has been caught sniffing coke of the back of a Vegas girl, she flees the country to Paradise Beach. But when she ends up in jail for harassing a crocodile (who tried to eat her paddle, thank you very much!) she asks for a lawyer. And ends up with Tate (the owner of the cute dog who asked her out) being her representative.
To ensure her privacy, Tate takes Isabella home, to await her trial. Being basically trapped in his apartment, Tate and Isabella learn a lot about each other and their common interests. But how can a lawyer and a princess be a match? Is Isabella willing to give up her title and her throne for Tate? And is Tate up for the total lack of privacy as a famous royal? Find out for yourself in this sweet read. Four out of five stars from me and I will be awaiting the next parts in this series. Thank you Netgalley for providing the arc.
