I loved Peachy!!! She was so funny. This was the funiest book I have ever read. I love Rebecka Paisley. I tell anyone who will listen to read her. I have all her books and I truly recommend this book and all her others. Once you start this book you wont be able to put it down. Biggest Fan, Amanda L. Jones

I love this authors books! They are so full of humor, passion, excitment, tenderness and love. I can't wait to read others by her.

This story is the tale of a young woman named Peachy who has a very unique way of speaking. She's from a place called Possum Hollow, NC. She has just learned for a traveling Doctor that she is going to dye from the disease, Tipinosis. He gives her very little time to live so she is determined to live out her last days as a princess. She has seen all the omens and they have pointed her to a real Prince who has to find a bride soon. She has set her sights on Prince Seneca of Aventine. Seneca has just been told by his father that he must marry the woman he has chosen unless he can find his own bride in the next nine hours. Well that's when Peachy storms the castle and his life will never be the same.

Peachy is totally unacceptable as the wife of a Prince but is determined to make Seneca the best wife and friend she can in the time she's got left. It takes quite a bit but finally Seneca and Peachy find passion and love. They must struggle against the snobs and others who are determined that they shouldn't be happy.

I loved the way Peachy spoke, I could almost hear her. This book is a joy to read. I can't wait to read others from this author.

Definitely a keeper, and one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. It really needs to be republished. I have looked frantically for another copy(I have already had, loaned, and therefore lost about 4 of them)and can't find one yet.My Mom usually only reads mysteries, and she giggled and snickered her way through it. After begging my daughter for 2 years to read it, I read several pages to her while she was cooking one day. "All right, I'll read it!" Then it was my fault because she was reading late at night and not getting enough sleep. She couldn't put it down. Now it makes the rounds of her friends, and they all love it too. Since it is a paperback, it will be all in tatters before it ever gets back to me, if anyone will admit to its whereabouts. Don't miss this one!

I read this book many years ago..Loved it then and love it know. My sister and I both had a copy and both loaned them to others to read. Neither ever got returned and I wanted it in my books for old time sake!!!

I enjoy reading this author's books - unfortunately this book didn't hold me captive as her others have.

I have all 14 of her books and wish she did not stop writing. Her books are hard to find but sooooooo worth it. She by far the funniest and best writer I have ever read.

A big-hearted, country girl is fooled into believing that she's dying. She then sets of to an Island Principality determined to wed the Pricne of her dreams. Convincing said Prince of his fate is another (hilarious) story. I love all of Rebecca Paisley's books. This one is my favorite. It is soooo funny...love that about her books..they're all so corky. I recommend all her books to anyone. Get them anyway you can...beg, borrow, or steal if you have to! :)

I read a lot of books. I can usually tolerate most books, but this book was so horrible. So unbelievable, that I struggled to keep reading it. Peachy would be the most ignorant 'heroine' I have ever encountered in any book. Her ignorance went beyond ludicrous. I couldn't even laugh I was so stunned by how bad this book was.

There needs to be some semblence of reality in a book, something that makes a reader think that this could possibly happen - but I found nothing like that here.

Even after reading the glowing reviews, I'm wondering what planet these people came from. I was completely turned off the lead and to imagine a prince falling for her... well, not in this lifetime.

This is the first and last Paisley book I will ever read. Give me Amanda Quick, Mercedes Lackey, Mary Jo Putney, Jill Barnett, Julie Garwood, Piers Anthony, J.R.R. Tolkein, Gayle Wilson, Maggie Shayne, Ayn Rand, Julia Quinn, Anne Rice - well, the list of good authors could go on for days - just no more Paisley!
