5.0 out of 5 stars A torrid Regency romantic suspense novel, February 7, 2001

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

In 1816 London, widow Gwyneth Barrie ekes out a living for herself and her son Mark by providing piano lessons. However, her sedate life radically changes when her cousin Jason Radley arrives at her home with the news that she is the recipient of an anonymous donation that names him as trustee. Eight years ago, Gwyn and Jason were in love, but she left him and married someone else.

From the start of their renewed acquaintance, both realize that the love they once had for one another still threatens to enflame them. However, neither one trusts the other having been previously burned. Still, when a clever, devious unknown individual tries to kill Gwyn, she turns to the only person she believes can keep her and Mark safe, her beloved Jason.

PRINCESS CHARMING is a torrid Regency romantic suspense novel that never eases up on the sexual tension or the suspense. The taut tale thrives because of the charming but scarred lead characters, who have a past to overcome, a present to survive, and a hope for a future. Sub-genre fans know that an Elizabeth Thornton historical always provides a powerful, entertaining non-stop reading experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Read...., March 6, 2001

Book Addict "B.A." (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

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

This was my first novel by Elizabeth Thornton and it was quite enjoyable. The characters are well drawn and entertaining, following a realistic pattern of behavior, rather than being manipulated to fit the plot lines. I am not quite sure if it is true to the Regency period, the class lines were firmly established at that time and it would have been very difficult for Gwyn to be accepted and re-established into the Radley family after having "worked" teaching piano. That said, I would recommend this as a lovely afternoon read and shall look forward to trying another of Ms. Thornton's books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a keeper, February 9, 2001

By 

Flush Barrett-Browning (Tennessee Valley) - See all my reviews

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

I'm an Elizabeth Thornton fan; I look forward to her books and usually keep them. This one is not up to her usual standard [yes, it's far better than many romance novels, but not as good as I've come to expect from her.] There's a lack of passion between the protagonists and the plot is too predictable. Neither of the main characters came alive for me. This said, I'll still buy her next book!
