Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ANOTHER GREAT CARA COLTER ROMANCE
Review: I love the series, and this one was very romantic and fun to read. The series plots the characters all too close together... don't we all wish we'd met a prince to marry, and our sister turns out to be a princess... wouldn't all our problems be solved in a heartbeat! Other than the authors having to deal with the pre-arranged unbelievable plot, just sticking to the romance was fun, fun, fun. In this whole series, I've read the entire book before I've gotten any sleep! Keep it up!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What an excellent job, Ms Colter!
Review: I'm generally not one to read, let alone write reviews of categoryromances, but in this case I'll make an exception. I was quite delighted with this book. Considering it is part of a series, and given the limitations imposed upon the writer by having the characters' names, the settings, and a fair bit of the plot predetermined for her, I'd say Ms Colter had quite a challenge before her. It must be much easier starting off with one's own ideas, characters and plot. I'd say the author has done a terrific job of weaving all these disparate strands together in a cohesive, entertaining fashion. I'll admit the name Damon Montague is absolutely putrid, and Shakespeare must be rolling in his cliched grave at how frequently and drearily over the centuries the name Montague has been employed as a high class moniker. Give us a break! Who thinks up these dud names, not to mention the boring generic names for the kingdoms? Whatever you do, don't blame the talented Ms Colter for these sorry boners! If readers want realism, find a Jane Rule book. If they want warmth, heart, humour and romance,all served up with a deft, magical touch, go back through Cara Colter's collection of titles, particularly Baby in Blue, A Bride Worth Waiting For, or Weddings Do Come True. They're all gems, and Ms Colter is about the only romance writer I will take time to read.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK...but not believable
Review: On what planet would a Royal Prince propose to a woman he met an hour ago! Then after a week of marriage, decides to give her up because he cares for her and wants to set her free! This stretches my imagination TOO far. The mystery of sister Victorias kidnapping, and introducing Rachels daughter Carly were very enjoyable. The lead-in to the next book was promising. This 'Royally Wed' series has been REALLY good,(for the most part). I would recommend reading the whole group!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: smarter than your average Cinderella
Review: This is an enjoyable fairy-tale type romance which, refreshingly, does NOT feature an arrogant jerk rescuing a feather-brained ninny. I wanted more, and maybe that's why I felt the ending was just a little rushed.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Read Suzanne Brockmann's Royally Wed book and end there
Review: This series has gone from okay to mediocre to just plain old bad.

It started off with Brockmann's Undercover Princess (one of the first books) and then it deteriorated into royal books about ANOTHER family, and now it's just bad. This book had a ludicrous plot and silly characters.

Don't feel that because you started the series you have to finish it.
