The first 4 books of the Royally Wed series were good so far. One to go and I'm anxious to find out if the conclusion will live up to my expectations. "The Pregnant Princess" is my fave next to "A Royal Baby On The Way." If you like modern fairytale, then this book is definitely a keeper!

I agree with the other reviewers. Doesn't anyone check for consistency in these books?

Elizabeth is one of the three Princesses of Wyndborough who are the focus of this series, along with their missing brother.

Elizabeth is 27 and 5 months ago while at a charity ball she meets the eyes of a dashing man across the room and instantly is drawn to him. She is so taken with him she looses her virginity to him, before he disappears the next morning. Soon she figures out that she is pregnant and on the advice of her sister she takes the business card that was left behind and goes to America to search out her construction worker, while harboring fantasies of "happily ever after".

Rafe Throntonburg is a Prince living the life he wants to live in America. He has distanced himself from his overbearing father and basically cut all ties with his royal family. He can't get Elizabeth out of his mind. When she shows up and he confronts her and determines not only is she a Princess but is Pregnant he reacts badly by ranting and raving, assuming his father has set the whole scenario up.

While Elizabeth is still drawn to him and is continuing to fall in love with him, he continues to push her away more than he bonds to her. Though she sneaks out on him 3 different times he appears to be slow to learn and continues to falsely accuse her of being in cahoots with his father.

Will they get together in the end, will Rafe reconcile with his family, will Elizabeth forgive him? Read the story to find out.

Though if I were you I would look for a discounted copy.

This was the second book I read in the Royally Wed series. I have to admit that while I liked the heroine, I thought the hero was an obnoxious oaf who did not deserve to end up happy. Their relationship was based on the flimsiest of reasons (one night of fabulous sex MUST mean two people are meant to be together), and, aside from a pregnancy and some tepid banter, there was no reason for them to be together. This book was a bit of a disappointment after the first one I read, the fabulous Undercover Princess.

Back cover reads:

Royal Lovers

They shared a forbidden night of blazing passion...identities unknown. Now, months later, a precious secret growing in her womb, Priness Elizabeth Wyndham had come to the States to find the father of her child...

Prince Raphael Thorton preferred hard hats over crowns, the Arizona desert over an island kingdom. And Rafe, the title he favored, had vowed never to marry royalty or to subject his child to the rigorous upbringing he'd endured. But that was before one unforgettable princess reentered his life--and changed his views about vows...and bringing up baby!

I really enjoyed the Princess series and this is my favorite of the 5 books followed closely by Serena and Gabe's story. Elizabeth mistakenly thinks her one night stand wants her to look him up if she is ever in the states, when she does the fireworks start. Rafe is my favorite type of hero, powerful and forceful and determined not to marry a princess but a baby on the way changes everything. Elizabeth is in love with her man but not about to be lead around by the nose. It was a lot of fun to follow them through the ups and downs of their story! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This book had just the right touch! I've read most of the Royally Wed series, and this was my 2nd favorite! Keep it up Anne Marie Winston!

Unlike Undercover Princess (Suzanne Brockmann's Royally Wed installment) this book didn't have engaging characters. Princess Elizabeth of Wyndborough met a man at a masked ball and although she is a virgin, she has sex with him that night and ends up pregnant.

He is actually Prince Raphael of Thortonburg who has spent his life avoiding those annoying Wyndborough princesses because both royal parents would just love to see their children marry and unite the families. When he discovers his lover is Elizabeth he lashes out that she was setting him up, when he discovers she is pregnant, he cruelly taunts her saying that it's probably not his.

Elizabeth never comes alive and Raphael is such a jerk, and unfortunately their relationship never recovers. They get their happily ever after, but I didn't really care.

I loved this book. I thought it was funny and very well written. I could not but it down. If you like humor and romance I think you should read this book and read the other books in this serise. But I think you will realy like this book.

This is the first I've read by Ms. Winston & it'll be the last! Prince Rafael of Thortonburg is certainly NO prince of a guy. He always jumps to conclusions & really rips into Princess Elizabeth with his hurtful accusations & recriminations. Although he apologizes soon after, the damage is done. I really think there should be more on-your-knees-grovelling before he's forgiven. Overall, this is the worst book I've read in the Royally Wed series so far.

Don't miss the 1st 3 books in the series: Alexandra in "Royal Baby on the Way" (ok start), Katherine in "Undercover Princess" (the best), Serena in "The Princess's White Knight" (not bad). The last book is "Man Mercenary Monarch" (its bad reviews warn me to steer clear of it).
