HOW TO PURSUE A PRINCESS by Karen Hawkins

The Duchess is up to her old tricks again.  This time, she has gone to far and may have damaged any chance of her god daughter and god son of ever getting married.  Let me explain!

Lily Balfour is backed into a corner, with only one way out and that is to marry a wealthy man.  Let's go back a few steps, Lily's father is not a very capable man and took a loan from his neighbor to build a green house.

Now the neighbor is demanding his money back, with interest within a month, but all the money her father borrowed is now completely gone.

With Lily being the second eldest, it is up to her to marry well to save her family from ruin; since the eldest daughter has just recently married and is on her honeymoon. 

How can Lily find a rich husband in such a short time, with the help of her fairy godmother of course, minus the fairy part.  Her god mother has been trying for years for Lily to come to her home and find a suitable husband and it just seems so convenient that she got to have her way.

A few days in her godmother's home and Lily already needed a break. Deciding that a ride in the forest would do her good, Lily sets off, only for her horse to startle, throw her off and ride away.  When she awoke, it was to find herself in the arms of the most gorgeous man she has ever seen.  Sounds like a fairy tale doesn't it!

But at last it was not meant to be, for even though her rescuer is a Prince, he does not have a penny to his name.  So even though he speaks the secret language of her heart, she must not get herself caught up in him for she has a family to save. 

Prince Pietr Wulfinski is determined to find the woman of his dreams, literally.  This is why he left his home country and came to England to find her.  Wulf, as everyone calls him, wants to marry for love like his parents, but in order to do that he must first pretend to be poor.  He does this for women to love him for him and not for his wealth.

A shout in the woods alerted him to someone in danger but he never expected to find the woman who has been haunting his dreams to be there.  Wulf used all the tricks he has in his arsenal and it would have worked too if he had the money to back it up.

Would these two troubled souls find their way to each other, would their goals, one wanting to marry for money and the other for love, clash to much  for them to find each other.  It does not help that there are pesky old women determined to have their own way as well.  Don't miss out on all the drama and excited in How to Pursue a Princess.  Second book in The Duchess Diaries and the first book in The Oxenburg Princes.

+Karen Hawkins has done it again.  She has written a book so wonderfully packed with everything I liked that when I came to the last chapter, I closed the book and came back to it a few days later;  I did not want it to end.  But it did, and now I'm sad.

Wulf has been added to my list of book boyfriends since he is so passionate about everything.  I was so angry with Lily, the answer is right in front of you but at the end of the book I realized that she was in battle with herself.  If she went with Wulf, she'll be abandoning her family for her own selfishness and if she does not, she would be married to a man she does not love, but her family would be secure.  Which would you choose?

It all worked out in the end, but how it worked out was so adorable and funny at the same time.  Use your imagination to see what happens or better yet, go out and buy the book and know what happens! 

If you were wondering that the Prince is hot the Duchess godson, then you have to read the next book in The Duchess series, How to Entice an Enchantress.



Happy reading!

GETTING BETTER

Sorry for not updating for a while.  I have been sick for the past week and the glare from my computer screen made my eyes and head hurt more than it did, so I banned myself from my computer until I was better. It has not completely left me yet, but I am getting better and the computer screen no longer hurt my eyes.  The only thing is that I am backed up with all of my reviews.  I read a lot when I was sick, seemed like the only thing I could do.  I did not even have the energy to go to school for the first week. I'm getting better now and look forward for my new reviews and I might post more than one this week.

BED OF ROSES (Book two in the Brides Quarlet) By Nora Roberts

I love flowers but not as much as Miss Emmaline Grant, she lives for them.  Emma is part owner of Vows, which is in the wedding business and Emma's part is with the flowers.  The bouquet, the table center piece, once it involves flowers, Emma does it and does it with a fairy tale quality. Growing up with a love story like her parents, Emma's head constantly romanticizes everything.  She keep looking for Mr Right and she found him in Jack. Jack Cooke is a enjoy them now and leave them before they get to close kind of guy.  His mindset encourages him into not wanting or needing a relationship knowing that they never last and people get hurt. With Emma, there was no holding back and he was constantly hesitating when she says or does something that he thinks violates his space. He constantly hurts Emma unintentionally and Emma feels as if she has to frequently hold back her feelings so as not to scare Jack off. Shit hit the fan when she couldn't take ho...
