Summary: THE PRINCE'S BRIDE falls short of being a royal treat
Review: Lady Jocelyn Shelton is determined to charm a prince in London - and Prince Alexei of Avalon is the prized catch. A rendezvous with the prince is abruptly foiled by an assassination where Jocelyn is rescued by a spy, Rand, Viscount of Beaumont. Their fateful meeting is sealed with a kiss to silence her shrieks on witnessing the account. Their meeting is hostile and even complicated by her aunt's decision to marry her off to Rand in order to protect her from attempts to silence her off.

As Jocelyn becomes the unwilling bride, she is shakened by passion and captivated by Rand. Despite her donning glasses, Rand commented on her intelligence and wits rather than beauty. Just as their love intensifies, Prince Alexei persuades her to come to Avalon in order to bait Rand to restore power to the crumbling kingdom when a mutiny is tearing the hierachy apart. Little did she know Prince Alexei is Rand's cousin. Jocelyn finds herself unable to reconcile with the fact she has married a real prince....

The Prince's Bride may be a royal treat to her fans enchanted to her witty banters and grand passion, yet it definitely lacks the momentum to keep Ms. Alexander in her throne. For the first half of the book, it drones on with Jocelyn and Rand struggling to keep their passion at bay. The later part slightly improves with a political dimension thrown in to make the book more adventurous besides romance. It is a hasty effort from Ms. Alexander without much depth and the book's predictibility renders it disappointing. A princely price to pay in terms of quality over quantity - Ms. Alexander obviously needs time to recharge with her fast release of her novels.

Summary: A wonderfully witty romance continues
Review: This book is a must if you've read the marriage lesson. A lot of news are added in addition to the previous book as well as "her highness my wife". I enjoyed these books as great individual stories as well as a wonderful series together.

Summary: The Princess Bride
Review: This book is wonderful to read to your children or simply to read as an adult. The story is creative and light-hearted. There are a few fight/sword play scenes, so may not be for some younger easliy frightned listeners. Even if you have seen the movie, you will still enjoy reading this book. The plot is solid and has a few twists. The Princess Bride is is an all around excellent read. It ranks high on my personal top ten list!
