This an uneven book. I found it entertaining and enjoyable; I liked both the major characters and had no trouble following the plot line. That said, the characters are static and the plot is superficial. HOWEVER, the dialogue and tension between the major characters is delightful - reminiscent of Hepburn and Tracy. So whether or not you like it, will depend on what you're looking for. It's a light, entertaining read - but not well crafted. ( )

From BackCover:
Once upon a time there was a kind and beautiful princess. She had lovely gowns, servants to do her bidding…and a bevy of handsome suitors longing for one thing only…Her crown.

Women never said no to the dashing Lord Matthew Weston and he never said no to them. But this was the first time he found one tempting enough to impetuously say "I do." Was it any wonder he awoke to discover her gone? And when Matthew learned the enchanting creature he'd married was of royal blood -- and would abandon their marriage bed without a second thought -- he vowed to put her out of his life forever.

But even a princess makes mistakes. And now Tatiana's back, asking for the kind of help only he can give her. But is his assistance all she wants or are there secrets the willful royal is keeping from him? Matthew may well lend her his hand but he'll never again give her his heart. Still, he's determined to tame the green-eyed beauty and change her from a perfect princess to his passionate bride. ( )
