This is a romance story published in 1990 so it isn't current. And it's also part of a series by the publisher Silhouette called Desire (they're like a Harlequin series). It's short only 180 pages and doesn't have much meat, so it is the ultimate brain duster.
The story starts off when Kristin Meyer's is suppose to be marrying the Prince of Cabriz but she starts to regret her rash decision. The country of Cabriz is in political turmoil and a war is about the break out. Once Kristin realizes that she's making a mistake and any childhood affections that she had for the Prince are no longer there, it seems to be hopeless for her. But enter hunky hero Zachary Harmon, who is there to rescue her and stir desire and feelings that they both have buried for each other.
Now while you don't take much from the story, it was surprisingly detailed. Now I tried to do a little research for Cabriz and in the book it's a small Asian country, but what I found is that it is a small city in Portugal. Miller gave the reader enough information so that you could figure out the area and culture of this setting without overloading the reader with too much information. If Miller hadn't does any background you probably would have jumped to conclusions and like me, assumed that it was somewhere in South America.
Another thing that I liked about this story is that the two characters Zachary and Kristin share a long history, so it isn't a sudden whirlwind romance that starts, it's something that was built long before the story even takes place. So essentially this story starts with them rebuilding their trust and relationship.
Like I said this is good for your average, romance story. It's a basic brain duster, mind fluffer. So when reading this just take it for what it is and don't expect it to become something for deep thought. Books likes these are what you perceive of them and because I am a lover of romance I thought it was good.
