Margo Maguire (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 27, 2010

The prince of pleasure . . .

To the ton, he is a wealthy and powerful royal, the dashing and enigmatic Prince Thomas of Sabedoria. And to Lady Margaret Blackmore, he is irresistible. Innocent in the ways of true passion, Maggie has lived a life chaste and proper—until now. Mad with a desire unlike anything she's felt before, she would do anything to tempt Thomas to her bed. But he hides a damning secret . . .

In truth, Thomas is no prince. He is Thomas Thorne, sent away for a crime he did not commit. Hell-bent on revenge, he would do anything to destroy his worst enemy, even seduce the man's innocent sister. But he did not count on the one thing that could spoil his perfect plan—falling in love with the beautiful lady in question. Now he must choose between his fervent wish for justice and his devotion to his tempting conquest . . .

More About the Author

As a nice, sane break from the drama and fast pace of working as a registered nurse in an intensive care unit, Margo Maguire returned to college to study history, and fell in love. Writing about the historical characters she encountered in her classes was a good way to unwind from a crazy day in the unit. She soon started creating her own fictional characters and putting them into historical settings.

Margo is the author of twenty historical romance novels. Her books have been published in numerous languages, and have even come out in Japan as manga--animated books. She is the mother of three grown children and lives with her scientist husband in southern Michigan.

Margo participates in Romance Writers of America's yearly Literacy Signing, and does local book signings with every new release. She has given talks on writing and research techniques, and is a featured author at http://jauntyquills.com/, a blog she shares with eleven other romance authors. She is a regular contributor to the Avon Romance forums and sends out bulletins with Fresh Fiction and Eye on Romance.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read the Count of Monte Cristo instead...seriously., August 19, 2010

This review is from: The Rogue Prince (Mass Market Paperback)

The plot was unoriginal, boring, and frankly way too predictable. It's like reading a murder novel where the butler really did do it.

Reading some sections were lessons on how to endure torture. Some of the descriptions during the love scenes were very stereotypically old school bad romance. At some point they "...meld their bodies and souls." I didn't realize I was reading a Star Trek novel in disguise. Was this perhaps a program run on the holodeck?

I had to skip the sections discussing her womb surging and quivering. I'm not saying you have to be crude, but this was a bit...is cheesy the word I'm looking for?

I say skip this novel and read The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas instead.The Count of Monte Cristo

This review is from: The Rogue Prince (Mass Market Paperback)

I did not enjoy this book. Having read other books by this author, which I enjoyed much more, I was very disappointed with the main plot. The characters were lacking, left me wanting more from them.
