Description
A Princess on the run…
Just once, Princess Merriam would like to make her own choices, but independence is in short supply when your father, the king, is of the royal opinion that princesses are for looking pretty and being obedient. When she overhears him talking to her broody, sexy, and oh-so-aloof bodyguard about her future wedding, a surprise to her as she’s not currently engaged to anyone, she plots her first rebellion: slip past her protection detail in NYC and board a tourist bus bound for Camp Firefly Falls where she plans to spend the week incognito as a normal twenty-something looking for love during Singles’ Week.
A Duke in pursuit…
Harmon Maxwell , Duke of Carlisle and Commander of the Royal Palace Guard has no patience for spoiled little rich girls who think security is a game. The tempting princess has tormented his dreams for years, but he’s a man of honor and duty, and he intends to bring the reckless beauty to heel until a real threat to her safety means a week at camp might be the safest place for her. It’s his duty to keep her in close protection, and that means she only gets one suitor during Singles’ Week: him.

Not my first Camp Firefly Falls book, but I really liked this one. The Princess flees overhearing her father the King and her chief bodyguard, the Duke discussing an arranged marriage for her. Harmon the Duke, is in charge of keeping her safe, that includes her brother as well. But his main focus is Merriem. When she beelines out of a ball in NYC and hops a bus to Camp Firefly in a ball gown assuming someone else name, she has no idea it's Singles Weekend. Perfect for her!! She wants that one last hurrah before she has to succumb to her fathers wishes.
When Harmon realizes she's given them the slip, he tracks her to the camp and assumes the role of her boyfriend. But still her bodyguard. This guy can't get his head out of his backside. Merriem has a boatload of not so nice nicknames for the Duke of Curmudgeon as she calls him. Takes himself way to seriously. He loosens up on this trip and the surprises just keep coming. When Matthew her brother shows up, it throws a slight wrench into the works. But like in every good story, the other Princess slipper must drop and the royal dung hits the fan. My heart broke for Merriem and I wanted to throat punch Harmon for being a jerk. Ahh, but the Princess survives and thrives despite her wounded heart.
So dontcha just know that Harmon shows back up at Camp (surprise!!) some months later. Caught me off guard. Watching the rest of the story unfold was just perfect.
This story was so well written, Gwen writes a great story the Camp Firefly books are a quick and fun read with lots of love.
4.5 stars from me on this one. Loved it.
