Codename Charming by Lucy ParkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Pet(unia) De Vere is the vertically challenged sister of Dominic, cake-maker extraordinaire of the first book in this series. She has landed the job of PA to Johnny Marchmont, spouse of the King's youngest granddaughter Princess Rosie of Albany. Now Johnny maybe lovable, a breath of fresh air, and the love of Rosie's life, but he is also a terrible klutz who seems to trip up and fall on/push Pet on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, this has led some elements of the gutter press to speculate about Pet and Johnny, especially after a picture was published of Johnny being kissed by another woman not so long ago.
Luckily for Pet, the stoic, inscrutable, and extremely large royal security officer Matthias Vaughn is there to catch her, sometimes 'catch' is a bit of a stretch and 'break her fall' is a better descriptive, leading some people on social media to start shipping them as a couple. So the royal couple come up with a plan to defuse the speculation, Pet and Matthias will pretend to be a couple operation Codename Charming (as in Prince Charming).
Can these two opposites ever pull off this deception?
This was charming by name and charming by nature. Full of Lucy Parker's trademark good humour and lovable characters. My only gripe is that I liked the sound of C.W. Tallen's book and was disappointed that it was not available on the Zon LOL.
