In the Prince's Bed
3.5 Stars

Three of the Prince Regent's many illegitimate sons join forces to succeed despite or to spite their less than illustrious father. Alec Black, the Earl of Iversley, must marry an heiress if he is to save his run down estate. Enter Miss Katherine Merivale who will inherit a fortune upon her marriage. Unfortunately, the man she has picked out is reluctant to propose, so Alec suggests making him jealous with a pretend courtship. Only Alec and Kit soon realize there is nothing pretend about their attraction.

Will written with engaging characters, but the keeping secrets trope is exceedingly annoying.

Alec is a charming rogue and it is impossible not to admire his determination to save his estate and provide for his servants and tenants even though his "father" treated him so badly. That said, his constant lies regarding his true reasons for pursuing Kit (even though he ultimately falls in love with her) undermine his hero status.

Kit is also quite likable although her distrust of men resulting from her father's infidelities gets old, especially considering her obtuseness when it comes to the reasons for her childhood betrothed's reluctance to marry. How can such an intelligent woman be so blind when it comes to a man's obvious sexual orientation?

Alec and Kit have strong chemistry and their dialogue is witty, so overall, an entertaining read and I look forward to continuing the series focusing on the less than socially acceptable half-brothers. ( )

This is the 1st of the Royal Brotherhood Series, with Alec, Earl of Iversley and Katherine Merivale. I really took a liking to Alec, ,maybe it was his desperate attempt to save his home, even if it means marrying for money. Katherine is very likeable and they become a very pleasant stable couple. Jeffries writes with such intelligence and respect for her readers. she also imparts some information that is important to her and enlighting to the reader. ( )
