About this eBook

Prince Maxence of Monaco is my knight in shining armor. Ever since I ran up to him in the middle of the Monte Carlo casino and whispered, "Save me," we've on the run from my mafia ex-husband and his killers. But now the palace and the police have realized he's missing.

They'll never find us because Maxence loves to rescue fair maidens, and I'm in the worst danger a woman can be in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's not good to be the prince when the throne is up for grabs.

Prince Casimir and Lord Arthur ARE BACK in this high-suspense romantic thriller with private planes, limousines, and superyachts as they try to find Prince Maxence before his older brother Pierre finds him, because Pierre has sent commandos to kill Max before.

With the throne of Monaco in play, you play the game of crowns to win or you die, and Max is in real danger.

What I love about Blair Babylon books is the worlds she creates, and One Night in Monaco is no exception. Luxury, power, wealth - all of it beyond your dreams - is a backdrop for our very human, very vulnerable, and often extremely alpha characters who show us how uniquely human we all are — but Maxence? He’s one of a kind. And hot. Whooooo boy. — New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent

Ratings and reviews

Once Upon a Time in Monaco... Maxence is Missing! I’ve been waiting for this book for AGES. Maxence has always been a favorite character of mine. I love that Blair creates such intricate and inter-connected worlds. We see/hear peeks at characters from other books intermixed with this story – I LOVE that! These contemporary romance books are so much more than you’d expect from a typical billionaire story. She pulls us fully into the world of royalty, luxury, wealth, and espionage; with a side of potentially deadly family drama. Blair pours each character’s thoughts and experiences through the pages and embeds them directly into your brain (it’s amazing). Action, suspense, romance, white knights, spies, and royal squabbles all play out in the most exciting 24 hours you’ve experienced in a long time. I can’t WAIT to read how the rest of Max’s story plays out. I just know there’s going to be some wild twists – in typical Blair style! I voluntarily received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, although I would have happily bought it! I’ve read more than a dozen of Blair’s books, and not once have I been disappointed. My general rating rationale: 3 – Perfectly fine story, perhaps some minor editorial errors. Entertaining. Typically with this rating I feel like there could have been MORE – be it believably/relatability, character development, internal dialogue, explanations or depth, richness to the overall storyline, etc. May lose a bit of engagement here and there but always finish reading. 4 – A very good book. Engaging, with well-developed characters, a great plot, relatable scenarios; keeps you invested to the last page. Would recommend to reader friends. 5 – Can’t say enough amazing things, loved the characters, fabulously detailed plot, a quick hook, intense investment in both story and characters (including supporting characters) throughout the book. Will tell anyone who will listen that they should read it (if they won’t listen, I’ll be louder).

Off to an amazing start. Yay, the gang is back! Although it is preferable to have read the previous books covering Arthur and Casimir's stories, there is enough detail and background to the characters to allow you to read this book on its own. For me, the familiarity of the characters felt like coming home to the heart of the family, snuggling up on the sofa with a warm throw blanket and settling in for an action-packed movie. After watching Casimir and Rox's characters develop in the Billionaires in Disguise-Runaway Billionaires spin off. Arthur and Gen's characters develop in the Billionaires in Disguise-Runaway Billionaires Arthur Duet, here we finally see them all converge to save Max's ass, literally! Ahhh Max, otherwise known as Sir Galahad, a character I had not managed to find a connection with in previous books, yet here I find myself deeply engrossed in his story. Max is a sweetheart, too busy saving the world and damsels in distress to stop long enough to worry about his own safety. Or maybe saving others offers Max a distraction from what is really going on in his own life. Then, teasingly, from characters of old comes a new character. Maybe Max will finally find his someone special, a chance to find his very own Rae of sunshine (get it) and of hope. I have found myself instantly drawn to this new character and I am excited to see exactly where their story is going to lead us. Desperate to get my hands-on Rogue: Billionaires in Disguise: Maxence #1, I have ordered in advance. If you're looking for the next big character or storyline that is going to leave a lasting impact, then look no further. No other author has managed to leave an impact as much as Blair Babylon and her characters have. I cannot recommend this series enough.

5 star Review One Night in Monaco (A Billionaires in Disguise: Maxence Prequel) by Blair Babylon AUDIO REVIEW: It was great to be back with Cash and Rox, Arthur and Gen, as they search for their missing friend Maxence. The story is told mainly by Arthur, Cash, Rox and Gen with a little from Maxence. I was totally invested in the story and had a hard time putting it done. With a stellar cast of narrators including Shane East, Lucy Rivers, Joe Arden, John Lane, Maxine Mitchell and Virginia Rose they all did a fabulous job bringing Ms.Babylon’s story to life and added another layer to my listening pleasure. One Night in Monaco was well written, witty, nail biting, suspenseful as well as intriguing and all in all a great book to listen too. It is a fast paced adventure, which at times had me on the edge of my seat and my heart pounding as they search for Maxence. The friendship between Arthur, Cash and Maxence is all encompassing and I have to say it is heartwarming.They have had one another’s backs since they were children and nothing will change their loyalty and friendship towards one another. I have been intrigued by Maxence Grimaldi since he appeared in the first book and this prequel has made me excited to read his story even more.
