A truly surprising and electrifying contemporary romance, it had all the classical characters of a contemporary but yet there is something undefined that captivates you and binds you until you have reached the end. This book is how should I say it, I’m going to come straight out and say it, it’s hot, this book is practical steaming with romance, the excitement is palpable you can almost literally feel it. Well after taking a glass of cold iced water I have to say the storyline is well-defined and the book is well written, Mackenzie and Devereaux are a combustible couple, in all this has been a most enjoyable read.

A tale of love at first sight; Mackenzie and the Prince form an instant attraction to each other with their pasts playing a crucial role in the story.

It's light, happy book, suitable to casual reading. Perfect for readers who enjoy plots which are tied up in little bows. A critical point would be the many coincidences which serve to resolve the whole plot border a little on predictability and implausibility. 

Personally, this book was eerily familiar to me in terms of its storyline. There were moments I found myself skipping a few paragraphs due to a lack of 'importance'. 

It's a book that is reasonably cliche but has enough excitement that you'd want to finish it in one sitting.

Dev is the ultimate royal bad boy – his womanizing and alcohol-binge sends him direct into the front-page daily, and his brother, the King is finally putting a stop to everything by hiring an image consultant, which he totally opposes until he got a glimpse of her. 

He tries to make her quit, but the more they spend time together, the more the attraction grows. The chemistry is near combustible. I love their banters, the innuendoes being thrown and the surprises each character gives as the story goes. It keeps you entertained, and well, panting for more until the end of the story.

It’s a mix of sexy, fun, revelations and unexpected plot twists. This is a great read.

Although I enjoyed this book I wasn't drawn into it 100%.  The plot seemed a bit of a stretch, especially where Prince Devereaux was working undercover for MI5 and Mackenzie Robert's past fiance was one as well.  The two characters were likable however.

Prince Devereaux is not an ideal role model. Rather than working to benefit his country, he spends his time drinking and dancing with a succession of beautiful women. He seems to have no interest in anything more serious.

Despairing of his brother, King Gabriel hires an image consultancy to improve the prince’s public image: the kingdom must have an heir, and no one will marry someone with Devereaux’s reputation. At first, Devereaux is reluctant to go along with the scheme, but he quickly finds himself enthralled by the passion and beauty of the consultant.

The modern romance world seems filled with billionaire playboy princes, in much the same way that Regency romances suggest an unsustainably high number of unmarried dukes are wandering around London at any given time. Prince Devereaux is a completely standard romance hero – he’s devastatingly handsome, emotionally damaged, highly and deceptively principled, as well as being fabulously wealthy.

There is a female lead as well, though (oddly), she’s not actually mentioned in the blurb. Mackenzie is at least as central to the plot as Devereaux is, and the narrative switches viewpoints between them – she’s more of a focal character than he is. Like Devereaux, she ticks all the romance boxes – she’s gorgeous and vulnerable with an iron will that simply melts when around the hero.

The Irredeemable Prince is very formulaic. It’s not trying to challenge your expectations or the conventions of the genre at all. Two damaged attractive people discover an intense attraction to each other, and fall in love while learning to heal. Everyone knows how it works. Go in expecting that, rather than anything groundbreaking, and you’ll be perfectly happy.

The book is longer than I expected, with rather a lot of plot hooks and important details being thrown out early on. Some of those hooks are for other books – links to a wider series involving other eligible bachelors – but an awful lot of them are part of the main narrative. All of those have to get wrapped up, and all of them have to link together. In places, the going gets a little slow – the romance is put on hold while the mafia angle is resolved. I could have done with a little less plot, with fewer characters having secret backstories and motivations. More focus on the main couple in the moment would have a made a tighter, more satisfying read.

Everything is very passionate. It oozes from every line. No one, in the world of The Irredeemable Prince is ever vaguely annoyed, or slightly tired. People are constantly on the edge, riding waves of intense emotion. They despair, they rage, they thrill. The situations, characters, and interactions are all dialed up to 11. Escape Publishing would like you to know that they rate it as “steamy”, though to my mind it’s no more steamy than the norm (insofar as that is a quantifiable quality).

The only real problem I have with the book is the occasional appearance of clanking prose, and that tends to die off later in the novel. Occasionally, the author tries to subtly add exposition to passionate clinches, which is a little bizarre. I’ve never kissed anyone while thinking about their place in society, and – if I had – I doubt that I would see that kiss as an intoxicating one. Similarly, a metaphor occasionally gets mixed or too specific, pulling you out of the story. To be honest though, I found these linguistic quirks to be more amusing than damaging.

The Irredeemable Prince is exactly what you’d expect from the cover, and no more than that. Romance tends to be something that people either take or leave, and this book isn’t going to make anyone swap sides. It’s energetic and enthusiastic, providing the right kind of happy ending for the right characters. I wouldn’t rave about it, but I would read it in an airport.

Devereaux has the world at his fingertips. He enjoys all life has to offer and until he is given a royal mandate by his King to change his image from the philandering play boy to a productive member of society. Securing an heir is all he was asked to do but what woman would find him redeemable? Max Harper is an image consultant who had difficulty not saying what was on her mind. Dev makes her question her ability to change his image and become a beloved member of the royal family. Can he actually leave his past behind and become the person who his brother sees glimpses of? The chemistry between Mac and Dev is off the charts and they complete one another in every way possible no matter how hard they fought the attraction to one another.

Prince Devereaux is a playboy and his brother the king is tired of it. He needs to settle down and his brother will see to it. The king hires a PR lady to help get Dev on track and improve his image. But is he doing what it seems or is there more than meets the eye? Their sister was murdered and Dev has been working undercover to find who did it. The story has suspense and romance to keep you interested.

A good solid romance with an original plot. Excellent romance.
