Summary: Not so bad.
Review: I have read both books in the series, how they are suppose to go. And yes, Dominic was not a good guy in the first book, but was not all that bad. Not as bad as some villans. He sparked interest in what would happen to him and his book jumps up 13 years. So, he is not the same. He is more of a ruthless character that has had the bad end of the stick for his whole life. You get a good background of Dom in The Runaway Princess and then in Someday My Prince, you get more of his story which is not a good one at all. Dom has led a hard life and did what he had to do to get by. Because of his life, it makes him an ok hero. He had to learn the hard way, but instead of being a really bad apple, he tried to keep whatever honest qualities that he could and still live his hard life. That is why he gets so hung up on giving his word. When that is all you have it has to mean something. I liked that he had a depth to his feelings that was like a hidden well. He was not the average hero, but neither was his pain. He could have been worse then he was and done worse. He stillhad some morals. I liked it, gave it five stars and would reccomend it as well.

Summary: Funny and lighthearted fairy tale
Review: I really enjoyed this story. It is my first time reading something by this author and I will definately buy more of her books. It was about a princess trying to find the right man to marry and along comes a mercenary who becomes her bodyguard. Of course he is mysterious and doesn't seem like a candidate for the princess. As the story unfolds, we see his background and even more of hers. There is intrigue, hurt, murder, plotting, etc... Everything needed to make a good story. I liked the wittiness also.

Summary: *sighs with longing*
Review: I really should stop reading romance books..it just wants to make me fall in love but I seem to be failing to do that. I love this book by Christina Dodd...this proves that no matter how much you hate..there is still redemption and peace for those people.I truly recommend this lovely book..the story is enchanting...the two main characters are so complex that it just makes you want to peel them layer by layer...

Summary: Excellent historical romance
Review: In May 1829, the Crown Princess of Bertinierre, Laurentia, turns twenty-five. As the heir to the throne to the small Mediterranean kingdom, Laurentia worries that she must soon marry and produce the next generation. None of the aristocracy paying tribute to her beauty fits the bill of her prince. That lonely feeling changes when Prince Dominic arrives at court. Dominic behaves like a mercenary rather than royalty. However, in light of recent acts against his throne, Kin Jerome worries about the safety of his daughter. The monarch hires Dominic to protect Laurentia. For the first time in her life, Laurentia feels she has met someone who comports himself as her equal, not a slobbering servant. Soon they fall in love. However, Dominic insists that her princely mate will someday come, but that it is not him. Laurentia has her work cut out to prove to her bodyguard that he is her Prince Charming. Anyone who has had the pleasure of reading a Christina Dodd historical romance knows they have been treated to a royal novel. The books are always excellent. The great author's newest tale, SOMEDAY MY PRINCE, is a fabulous story that never slows down for a moment. The heroine is in trouble by enemy forces who want to control this strategic country. Under fire, her bravery, level-headedness, and kindness make her a magical character who will attain much acclaim for the author. Dominic is dangerous and intrepid, but loyal to his loved ones. These two protagonists take a well-written historical romantic intrigue and add humor, depth, and warmth. This combination turns the novel into a sure award winner for Ms. Dodd. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Boring and Unbelievable
Review: Not one of Ms. Dodds best. I could not even finish it. I was tired of Dom talking about his honor and having to take care of Brat and Ruby. Give me a break. At the end of the book we are suppose to forget all that he did. I think not. I really disliked this story.

Summary: Sexy and fun!!!
Review: Once again, Christina Dodd kept me up late reading. I just couldn't put this book down. If you only buy one book this month, make it SOMEDAY MY PRINCE!!!

Summary: The spin-off of THE RUNAWAY PRINCESS
Review: One of an author's favorite challenges is to turn a villain around and make him the hero of your next book. That's this hero -- Dominic, the ultimate bad boy from THE RUNAWAY PRINCESS. Only the love of a good woman -- well, actually, two good women, the heroine and a baby -- can redeem this guy. A lot of readers write me to say they hate Dom, and more write me to say they love him. Decide for yourself.

Summary: good, but problems because of previous book
Review: People that have not read Chrisine Dodd will like this book, people who are her fans will have a bit of trouble with Prince Dominic (because of Runaway Princess - he was not NICE). The books really need to be read together, and when you do that, you come off disliking Dominic, so its jarring to have him suddenly presented as the hero. (Catherine Coutler did this in Chandra and the first of the Fire series - he was a total louse and suddenly he is hero in the next book.) It just makes it so hard to switch horses in mid-water. Dodd's writing is always engaging and she sort of pulls it off, despite Dom's shady past. I enjoyed the book, but Dodd as done much better.
