Since then, she's kept to herself, determined that no other man is ever going to use then discard her. Phillip De La Croix isn't just another hunk. Aside from being a pediatrician, he's the youngest son of Boisdemer's reigning king. The moment he meets Catharine and her son, he's sunk. But can he convince Catharine to believe in happy-ever-after, with him? Hannah Jones has never had an affair in her entire life! But then, she's never met a man as intriguing as Alex Cross. Soon, she opens her heart and her body to Alex. Alex has been coming to this resort for years, but has never been tempted before meeting Hannah.

5 Kisses: "The Prince and the Single Mom is a charming story by Morgan Ashbury. I love the fairy tale feel of the story and the fairy godmothers. Catharine has been so hurt by a man in the past that her response to Phillip takes her by surprise. Phillip is the perfect hero! He sweeps Catharine as well as her son off their feet. I loved the way he doesn't disregard her child. Hannah and Alex's love affair is a wonderful addition to the story. They share true passion and caring and their love scenes are very poignant. The Prince and the Single Mom is a wonderful read I highly recommend!" -Tara Renee, Two Lips Reviews
4.5 Stars: "The Prince and the Single Mom is a sweet fairy tale that confirms the power of love. I enjoyed both Catharine and Hannah's stories. Catharine became a single mom at a very early age and is skeptical of men. I love that Philip is patient with her and anticipates her concerns. He's wonderful with her little boy, interacting with him as one would expect a father to do. The love scenes between them are steamy and the ending will melt your heart. I loved the way Ms. Ashbury wrote Hannah's story. She's a young widow who decides to throw caution to the wind and have an affair that will last her a lifetime. The interaction between Hannah and Alex is superb with great dialogue and sexual encounters. Hannah's story does not conclude at the end of this book, which makes me hope that in books two and three of the series, Ms. Ashbury will continue with Hannah and Alex's tale. I definitely will be returning to the Kingdom of Boisdemer in the future for other stories in this new series." -Claudia Orpik, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 Angels: "Catherine is a lovely heroine and Phillip is truly 'Prince Charming'. These two are just spectacular together. Their chemistry is spot on, with lots of tender moments. Catherine's hesitation to embark on a relationship is understandable, and Phillip's ability to sway her will win the heart of readers. He is such a yummy hero, it is not hard to understand Catherine's capitulation. Hannah and Alex's story begins in this book but is not resolved. Hannah and Alex are the respective parents of Catherine and Phillip. This is a mature couple, and their story is just as compelling as their children's. The dialogue between them is sizzling. Hopefully, the author will present more of their story in the upcoming books in this series. The Prince and The Single Mom is an enchanting romance with fairytale aspects to the story. The author has done a great job weaving her storylines together. It contains plenty of eroticism and romance. This reader looks forward to the next book in this series." -Susan T, Fallen Angel Reviews

The Prince and the Single Mom, September 10, 2008
By M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" -
This review is from: The Prince and the Single Mom [Magic and Love 1] (Siren Publishing Classic) (Kindle Edition)
Single mother Catherine Jones and her young son (Jamie) are accompanying her mother (Hannah) on a trip to the kingdom of Boisdemer, which Hannah won. This is really the first time that Catherine has let loose and had some fun since she was duped by Jamie's father. She is enchanted by the man who is helping Jamie on the horse, during a horse-riding outing from the resort. She is intrigued by his looks as well as his demeanor. Though when she finds out he is a real life prince she is not so sure anything can come of the spark they seem to feel. Can Phillip convince her that she is meant to be a Princess and that he loves her son?
Hannah is drawn to the older handsome man (Alex) she sees across the room. She is not sure she ever felt a fluttering her stomach over a man before. But, she takes a chance, as she is on the vacation of a lifetime, and decides to do more than just a little sailing on his boat. While both of their feelings for each other grow ,Alex is also `digging a deeper hole for himself' you see he has forgotten one important thing in his dealing with Hannah. He has forgotten to tell her he is not really mild mannered Alex Cross, he is actually King Alexander.
The two fairy godmothers that are trying to get these two couples together definitely have their work cut out for them in this story.
The Prince and the Single Mom is the fantastic start of a series of stories by Ms. Ashbury featuring the modern day kingdom of Boisdemer and princes, kings, and a fairy godmother or two. For those who don't believe in fairy godmothers anymore you should read this story and it just might change your mind. Ms. Ashbury does a wonderful job with the romance between Kate and Prince Phillip, including how Jamie would be a strong part of any relationship and Phillip's acceptance of him could make or break a relationship. Additionally, Hanna and Alex's romance shows the reader that just because you are more than forty does not mean you are dead. The author did a great job in planning out the story so that both plot lines worked together and even fed off each other in places. She additionally made the reader see how important it is to tell the truth and even lies of omission may someday come back to bite you. I found The Prince and the Single Mom a fun contemporary romance.
