Summary: Book Description
Review: From the Back Cover:
HE WAS THE POWER AND THE FURY OF A DYNASTY. SHE WAS THE LOVE THAT COULD DESTROY HIM Edward Eden, a noble and passionate man of the people pursued a course decreed by his(...) heritage. Heir to the vast wealth but not the title of Lord Thomas Eden's estate, he rose to become the most splendid libertine in all London...and fell into the iron grip of a sinister addiction. Dashing conqueror of hearts more, willing then wise, he drank freely, recklessly from the waters of passion...only to lose himself body and soul to the one woman whose intoxicating thirst he was -- and forbidden -- to quench. Her world was forgotten, his destiny sealed, a dynasty dammed, in one silent hour of lose.

Summary: Prince of Eden by Marilyn Harris
Review: This is the only romantic novel that I can still remember after 15-18 years and I have read a large numbers of novels. A friend lent it to me when I was in high school and after the first few pages, I am awed by the development of the story. Marilyn Harris is a rare top-class writer whose writing skill is able to capture the interest and emotional participation of the reader. Prince of Eden is not frivolously written unlike most romantic novels with a shallow or sugar coated plot and a cinderella ending. This is a solid piece of work with substance. You will sense that the writer has put in a lot of thoughts and ingredients to make the story come alive. All the plots are intricately plan and brilliantly presented. You will be surprise to find a number of vivid and humanly interesting characters seeking your empathy in this wonderful historical novel. I believe you will be as absorbed in it like in a movie. I have never shed a tear and feel so emotional for other books except this one. It is a pity this novel is out of print.
