Andi McDonough is working hard as a waitress in Las Vegas, so she can fund her graduate studies in social work. She has always known she wanted to help people and is finally getting close to achieving her dreams. But when a rebellious Prince strips at the bar, Andi cannot help but snap a quick picture for memory's sake. Sadly this ends up with her being fired and her future plans in disarray.

Fast forward one year and Prince Alexander, or Zander to his friends and family, is still getting in trouble as the scandalous one of the royal family. A charming heartbreaker, Zander never has to search for female company. But when he bumps into a fiery, beautiful woman who seems to hate him on sight, Zander becomes fascinated with this exquisite woman. Andi has spent the last year travelling the world, helping people in any way she can, and has finally ended up in Italy. But the last thing she expects to find is the Prince who cost her everything. Thrown into each others company through mishaps and unusual friends, Andi and Zander cannot deny their strange and intense connection. But can two people from the opposite sides of life ever really be together? And when things get more complicated, can they overcome their misconceptions and fears, to take a chance at love?

BAD TO THE THRONE by Jenny Gardiner is the third instalment of the It's Reigning Men series, and is another wonderful addition to this charming collection. Andi is tough, independent and a little judgemental, and she has always shyed away from relationships. Zander lets the world believe he is the superficial Prince, but he has so much more depth and emotions hidden beneath his charming surface. As Zander and Andi navigate their new friendship and explosive chemistry, it is a joy to see inside their personalities. BAD TO THE THRONE by Jenny Gardiner is a compelling and enchanting tale of romance and chemistry, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Book Summary

Sometimes you can let your heir down a little too much...

But when she's fired for capturing the royal treasures, she heads off to find herself. After backpacking the world-over on a dime and a prayer, she finds herself in Rome, where a chance encounter with the wayward prince only reinforces to her that Prince Zander is indeed bad to the throne. And more than likely to her fragile heart as well.
