2.0 out of 5 stars lacking, and no direction, February 6, 2005

This review is from: Seducing a Princess (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book to be lacking and has no sense of direction to the plot. They don't explain the background of the Princess much. Princess and William seem to have a cold interaction, yet he claims he's in love with her, or could it be just in lust with her? The book gives the perspective mostly through William's point of view, but should also reflect the Princess to make their interaction and feelings towards each other more real. I think if the author wrote more of the background of the Princess within the story, then it would make the story more interesting. I've enjoyed most of Lois Greiman's books, but found this one needs improvement on a lot of areas. It was a dry reading for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark Tortured Souls Find Love, February 11, 2005

By

This review is from: Seducing a Princess (Mass Market Paperback)

I thought the book was good -- I like the mostly male perspective (although another reviewer was right in that a little more female perspective would've been better). This is a dark book -- the main characters were tortured, miserable people. In fact, all of the characters were tortured and miserable. I almost put the book down for the depression of it all. But I didn't because the writing was good, I wanted to know what happened next, and the story ended very well -- in fact, this ends the series of her 3 princess novels and draws everybody into its conclusion. I hope future books do not involve characters who hate themselves almost into suicide, though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lois Greiman is a reigning monarch in the Regency sub-genre., December 28, 2004

This review is from: Seducing a Princess (Mass Market Paperback)

Two years have passed since the highwaymen stopped the carriage bearing his wife and son yet William Enton still spends his time imbibing in drink to forget his loss and alleviate his feelings of guilt for not accompanying them. When highwaymen attacked their carriage, courageous perhaps foolish Elli, told the hostler to stride away from them, but the coach took a turn too fast and toppled. A lantern burned the carriage and its riders. The thieves caught up, but never stole her jewelry. Now in 1819 still wondering why she left and why he stayed silent when she said she was going, William vows vengeance.

William enters Darkdowne, a den of iniquity run by thieves who attack him. The Princess rescues him and takes William to her leader Poke. William is fascinated by the Princess, the first woman to stir him since the tragedy and in a deep honesty to himself long before the calamity. As they fall in love while working on a robbery, Princess knows she has secrets that once revealed will send Will running back to either polite society or drink.

The third "Princess" tale (see the delightful THE PRINCESS AND HER PIRATE and THE PRINCESS MASQUERADE) is a fabulous early nineteenth century romantic suspense that is a fitting climax t o a strong trilogy. The story line is action-packed yet character driven as William and the Princess struggle with respective issues that would destroy lesser beings and almost devastate them. It is with each other that they begin to overcome their particular trauma although new ones surface. Lois Greiman is a reigning monarch in the Regency sub-genre.
