Summary: The Magic of Love
Review: "Prince of Dreams" is a wonderful story. I've always been faciniated by stories that involve the idea of reincarnation and past lives. Especially the idea that we have one soul mate that will be with us in other lives, through out all time. This is only the second book I've read that involves this idea. I think it is the most romantic concept ever concieved, and Lisa Kleypas does a wonderful job of turning this concept into an engrosing book. Once I hit the point that began dealing with past lives, I couldn't put the book down until I had finished it. This story is a wonderful addition to any romance collection. It is now an important part of mine.

Summary: Better than your average romance novel
Review: "Prince of Dreams" is an entire storyline derived from two lesser characters, Prince Nikolas and Emma Stokehurst from "Midnight Angel." If you liked "Midnight Angel" then you will also like "Prince of Dreams." The characters in this story are much more vivid than your usual romance novel characters...even Tasia and Stokehurst from "Midnight Angel" look stiff and artificial compared to Nikolas and Emma. Emma struggles with the fact that she is an untraditional woman and Nikolas struggles with the conflict between his desire to love Emma and his belief that he is incapable of love.This story makes use of a past life/time travel device that I normally do not enjoy in a romance. However, it is handled well in this story and is an essential plot device for the metamorphosis of Nikolas' character. The past life dream of tragic love of his grandparents serves as the catalyst that allows him to resolve his emotional struggle. "Midnight Angel" tells of Nikolas' arrest and torture. "Prince of Dreams" deals with the resultant emotional scars from both his torture and his torturous childhood. The story follows the inner thoughts, desires and motivation of Nikolas in a way that explains and enlightens his actions from "Midnight Angel" Emma and Nikolas have a much more "modern" relationship than is usual for a romance novel. The author has maintained the character integrity of Emma. She is exactly the woman that you would have expected Emma the child to grow into. You'll read it in one sitting.

Summary: Not a pleasant read...
Review: A strange mix of "gritty psychology", psychic babble, and a touch of mystery, this book was not fun to read. The hero was too extreme (too rich, too titled, too sneaky, too damaged from past life) and not at all likable. The heroine was more contrary than strong. Then the 'reincarnation' subplot is just silly. I don't know what Lisa was trying to do, but she missed Fun Reading. Skip this book.

Review: Firs of all I have to say that its one of the best romances ever, at least which I have read. Emma is a really great heroine, so beautiful, so charming. And Nikolas is absolutely stole my heart. Wonderful story.

Summary: Amazing Storytelling
Review: I absolutely loved this book!!! It makes most other romance characters pale in comparison to Emma and Nikolas. I also don't usually like the past life/reincarnation story, but Lisa Kleypas pulled it off wonderfully. Some complained that Nikolas is cruel, and this is partly true but Kleypas also gives you a glimpse into the unresolved abuses and horrors Nikolas experienced and she shows you how it has affected him as a person. He is so bitter and miserable, and he does not know how to cope with his past experiences. When something happens to Nikolas, sending him into his past life, he gets a chance to come to terms with his past and see what he is missing by letting it rule his life. Emma is an awesome heroine. She is not like other women of her station. She is close to six feet tall and has different hobbies then most ladies like caring for animals. She stands up to Nikolas's cruelty and bitterness, and does not let him bully her. I just loved this story, it is so different from your average romance.

Summary: A very moving story
Review: I am an avid reader of quite a few authors and very few books truly touch me but this is one of two that i can honestly say stole my heart. The tenderness of some of the characters along with the inner turmoil of others made this book one that i will never forget. The tragedy was written so well that i sat and sobbed. I will look forward to reading my next book by Lisa.

Summary: another kleypas gem
Review: I believe this was the first historical romance i read where the gentleman doesn't stay faitful the whole book. Usually the men in romance novels stay faitful as soon as they meet the heroine. Not in this novel, though. But that is what made me love this book. The fact that the characters were more true to life than in other romance novels. Bravo to Lisa Kleypas for penning another unforgettable read.
