5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Garwood, October 13, 2003

This review is from: Prince Charming (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Julie Garwood's style and spirit in all her writings, but Prince Charming is by far my favorite. It is a slightly different style than her other books, which I think throws off some of her other readers, but in my opinion is refreshing. Unlike most romance novels, Prince Charming carries the story farther past the origional conflict. The initial "throw ourselves at each other and onto the bed" that usually concludes a romance novel is more to the side rather than the main focus. Instead there is an emphasis on the character's struggles to understand one another. Prince Charming is a beautifully told story, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, I absolutly loved it, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prince Charming (Mass Market Paperback)

Yes, I am a girl of only 13. I accidentally found the book in my mother's dresser. But I started reading it and fell in love!! I loved the story line and the romance between Taylor and Lucas. It is by far the best book that I have read in a long time. I am hooked on Julie Garwood now. I love the fact that her storys are historical. And for all of you out there who are looking for a good romance, I would suggest this. I am usually boered with books, and this one held my attention untill the very last word. I have read it many times since.

This review is from: Prince Charming (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a relatively new fan of Julie Garwood's and this book is a little different from the others that I've read. This novel takes place in several locations and is a very involved story.

Taylor and Lucas are charismatic as the main characters. It takes a little while for Lucas' character to develop; he's a bit of a mystery man. Similar to other Julie Garwood heroines, Taylor is very likable (also young, beautiful, sweet, petite, from a disfunctional family, etc.) There are also some interesting secondary characters. Taylor's grandmother is only in a brief part of the book, but I began to think she was clairvoyant the way she arranged the marriage between Lucas and Taylor. They really were a perfect match! There is a "knock-your-socks-off" love scene about 2/3 of the way through the book.

Although I really enjoyed this story, there were a couple weaknesses that I would like to point out. Taylor's friend Victoria is an unwed mother to be, but we never got to learn who her ex-boyfriend was. I thought maybe it would end up being William Merritt (Taylor's philandering ex-fiance). Also, Lucas has three half-brothers that are mentioned occasionally in the book, but we never get to meet them.
