I loved this story! I felt like I was watching an episode of The Royals.

Love, angst, deceit, suspense this story has it all! My first read by Pamela Dumond and I am looking forward to the next installment of The Crown Affair.

Love triangles are not my thing, but this one was absolutely perfect! Max and Viv will stick with me for awhile.

I absolutely loved this book. I love Royal Romances, just something about the culture and how they do things differently than us. I am hooked! This book was exciting, thrilling, romantic and I read it in one sitting. I loved the plot and fell head over heels in love with these characters. I loved the bachelor feel with the twist and turns that lead up to the ending. I can't wait for the next installment. I need more!

Sweet baby peanuts, this book had me laughing from start to finish!

From the blurb, I figured this would be a pretty straight-forward story, but once I started reading and got further into the story, I was surprised by the extent of emotions that occurred, and by how funny the story itself was. The chemistry between Vivian and Max is great, but add in the chemistry between Vivian and Leo, and the fact that both brothers are catching feelings for Vivian makes for a fantastic story. And I can't wait to find out what's going to happen when the real Cici shows up!

There was so much to like in this book! While there was a love triangle there was also a rich story with twists and turns for both Max and Vivian. The book was also fun and I have high hopes for the next book!

I absolutely loved this book. This was a first read by this author for me and it will not be my last. I could not put this book down. Max was so great and I was rooting for him with all of the angst of him trying plan everything and watch the woman he loves be with his brother. Vivian is a wonderful stand in and what will happen with her and CIci. This story had many twists and turns.

I cannot wait for the next installment of this series.

I honestly have to say, I truly love the way this author writes. Pamela DuMond knows how to capture your attention early on in the story then take you on a fun-filled ride. It was fun and witty, totally what I needed for an afternoon read. A romantic comedy unlike anything I've read before.

The blurb sort of had me thinking one way about this story but it ended up being so much more than I anticipated. I wasn't sure if a "royal" type romance would be my thing, but after I got to know the characters and more what the book was about, I couldn't stop reading.

I absolutely loved Vivian and Max. Vivian was like a breath of fresh air and the craziness between her and Max was so over the top. The steam between them was an added bonus. Ms. DuMond will have you falling in love with Max too.

If you're looking for a story that's totally original, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with The Prince's Playbook.

The Prince’s Playbook by Pamela DuMond
This is my second book by Pamela DuMond, and while it was a little bit different from ‘The Client’ it was still a great read. There were a lot of twist and turns in Max and Vivian’s story, which is a love triangle angle full of heartache and deceit. I can’t wait to see how this angsty romance plays out in the next installment.

Max & Vivian's story is very fun and chaotic - an overall pleasant read.

The banter is fun, witty and entertaining, and the entire cast of characters could very well pass for that of a romantic comedy movie.

Ms. DuMond is quickly becoming a go-to author for fun, quirky romance. I recommend Max & Vivian to you - enjoy their romance story.

I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book, which I received from NetGalley.

A hysterical, make your heart all mushy, sexy and delightfully entertaining romantic comedy by Pamela DuMond! I so get giddy when I hear about royal romances, and I know that Miss DuMond's romcoms are fun, flirty, sexy and charming, but The Prince's Playbook was even better than I thought it would be with grade A banter and fanfreakingtastic characters and a heck of a worthy storyline. The moment I opened up this book I was hooked! I got lots of smiles and laughs out of it as well as some heartfelt moments that made it all the better. I could seriously read this one again RIGHT NOW because it just quenched my thirst for fun, humorous and steamy romance.

Maximillian and Vivian have such a electrifying and steamy chemistry. Their personalities mesh perfectly together and the light push and pull just makes it all the better. The sex is SMOKING HOT and and the witty dialogue makes it all the more enchanting. Its no wonder Pamela DuMond's books are so popular and why readers are swarming for more.

I give The Prince's Playbook a FUN, FLIRTY, AND SWOON WORTHY FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

This book had it all, every emotion -- deceit, suspense, jealously, heartbreak, Love, angst—it was like reading a contemporary version of The Crown. I could not put this book down. I enjoyed the Love triangle that is going on and I adored Max- he has a lot on his plate but he is making it work. He is in love with a woman who is with the wrong brother. Vivian is a wonderful woman who happens to be a stand in for CiCi..I wonder what will happen on that front between her and CiCi. This story has so many twists and turns. I am looking forward to the next installment to find out who wins the fair maiden’s hand-- Max and Viv ‘s story will stick with me for a while and one can hope…


My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
