King of Paradise
By Kay Layton Sisk 

     King of Paradise is a great example of a light-hearted, almost fairy-tale, type of romance story. It introduces Wyndha O'Brien who has taken on the job of taking care of her two nieces and nephew. She decides to go to Colorado and have them choose the upcoming adventures for two weeks. Little does she know that once she and her family have met their neighbors in the hotel, the children plan on including them in their plans. Enter, Rudy, also known as Rudolph deMarco, a soon-to-be king of a small European country.

     The mystery surrounding Rudy and the other two men who travel with him adds to the interest of the reader and shows that this is not just another romance novel. The romance moves quickly between Rudy and Wyndha but the reader should enjoy it. The story could have taken place at any vacation resort and the adventures could fit into that vacation resort. The characterizations of all the characters, including the children are focused and on point.
