PRINCE CHARMING by Julie Garwood

Prince Charming is my second to last book that I own of Julie Garwood.  Some how I lost my copy of Gentle Warrior and I am not happy about that, not at all and when I went into the bookstore to buy a new one, they did not have a copy.  Can you believe that, but, I did get the book Ransom and that is going to be the next and last book I read of Julie Garwood, for now.

 Taylor Stapleton will do anything for the greater good, even if that means that she has to marry a complete stranger to do so.  Taylor then has to sneak away at midnight not to raise any suspicions to get away from the evil that living in her home. 

 Lucas Ross, wanting to save his brother agreed to wed Taylor in exchange for money to help his brother.  Lucas never wanted to get married but extreme circumstances has made him do it.

 That's not all he had to do, he had to take her to Boston in America safely; thinking that they would go their separate ways after reaching Boston, the greater good was taken away and Lucas vowed to help Taylor retrieve it.

 Their marriage was suppose to be in name only until they get it annulled, but having to spent so much time together is making that decision difficult to uphold.  Seeing as Lucas would love nothing more than to consummate their marriage and so would Taylor, even knowing that would complicate things more than they already are.

 The greater good was saved and Lucas wants to track down a man and bring him to justice and return home to his mountains.  Taylor has always admired mountain men and have read books about them while growing up and knows where she had to go to keep the greater good save.  Redemption, the place where Lucas was going back to, the place where she can live and still be close to him.

 But the evil that Taylor left in England did not stay in England and came to collect the greater good, even at the expense of her and Lucas's life.

 When you normally think of Prince Charming you usually think about a man with blue eyes and blond hair. He rides a beautiful white horse that comes to a maiden rescue when she is in trouble.  Like Charming on Shrek.

 Seeing as how the book was written the title should have been "My Mountain Prince" but Julie Garwood put a spin on Prince Charming and makes you realize that your Prince Charming can come in all shapes and sizes.  Especially with a Prince charming like Lucas Ross, you'll never want to go back to thinking about Prince Charmer the same again.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
