Sasha's prince is wicked, Sun's is missing-they take up the sword, L.A. style! Sasharia En Garde Book 2 In the magical world of Khanerenth, there's a long way to go before Sasha and her dream prince, Jehan, can get to perfect. Jehan's deception has left her unable to trust him, and grimly determined to search for her missing father. Jehan only wants to protect Sasha from the dangerous undercover mission he's undertaken to heal the broken kingdom, but he knows she can't afford to listen to him-not when he's the one living a lie. Enemies, allies-and temptation-make the ballroom floor as dangerous as pirate raids. In a world where love is danger and honor is difficult to define, the crown is not the only thing on the line for a wicked prince and a princess with a core of steel. There's a royal price for love.

Twice a Prince - great finish to Sasharia en Garde (SPOILERS),
By Ajousch (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twice a Prince (Sasharia En Garde) (Paperback)
Sherwood wrote on her LJ that this was actually one big book. It starts right after the end of Once a Princess (Sasharia En Garde) (so no explanations for readers who come in later, which is just how I like my series books).
Sasha remains cautious and the hero keeps kicking himself (deservedly) for screwing up by keeping too many secrets when he met her. Not being a villain he lets her go (but sets one of his trusted friends to track and help her). I love the fact that the friend/spy loses her soon after, due to weather and not any special skills by Sasha. I love it when she loses her way out of inexperience, is happy to be rescued from a storm at a military camp of the king and leaves in the morning without ever thinking about the consequences of a report about her showing up (she does use a false name, but her few treasures clearly show the connection to the old royal house). The villainous usurper also does not want to kill the heroine in this one (yay!), he wants her to marry his son and continues to want this (and to try to send his son to find her and woo her, as the prince's supposedly a real ladies' man). The mother, increasingly seeing that the usurper keeps trying to seduce her and showing off to the court how happy she's living with him in his castle, manages to flee (with the help of resistance members whom she helped to escape capture in the last book) once it is clear that the captured resistance people can't be killed outright by the usurper (because their supporters manage to make him agree to a public trial, yay for legal technicalities of rule!). And being who she is and from the time she grew up in, she develops a plan of asking all women concerned (which is basically the married half of the country) to come with her in a big protest march to the usurper and ask him not to start a war (which is the second current plan of this guy). We get great family interaction between the womanising prince who is definitely not as he seems and his father, attempts at breaching the gap between them which both feel. This book has - as always with Smith - no clear cut evil villain, just people going wrong from various reasons who disregard the chances of turning back (with the vague but looming threat of an attack from Norsunder always at the back). There was a military game which actually was supposed to show off the prowess of the nephew of the usurper's right hand man (who really is hoping/wanting to engineer an accident for the "imbecile" prince and make his nephew the next king). It all went wrong and the nephew is now after Sasha with his own corps of cadets, rethinking all the manipulations he has done himself and being done to him by his uncle, especially when he does capture Sasha (who managed to lose track of time in her journey to try and release her father from a spell) and she points out that you don't send cadets off to capture a princess with the clear order to "not tell anyone" and expect her to survive this. It's the hero to the rescue and Sasha goes of on her own AGAIN, all of the major characters finally congregating at the place where Sasha's father is waiting to be released from his spell. Yes, there is a happy end of a sort, but the threat of Norsunder remains and the hero has to bear a personal loss. I liked the hero more than Vidanric in Crown Duel (Crown Duel / Court Duel) when I first read that, because we are allowed into his head this time (we also get into the head of the right hand man and the usurper as well as Sasha's mum), so we had an impression not just of his deeds but of his feelings (since I've read A Stranger to Command, Vidanric remains my favourite Smith hero, apart from Inda). Sasha is more savy in some ways than Meliara was, simply because she grew up always on the look-out for danger and she's simply older. She's around 25, I believe.

Don't judge a book buy it's cover,

This review is from: Twice a Prince (Sasharia En Garde) (Paperback)
OK do not look at the cover! These are great books and the cover is horrible! They are clean and fun to read. I would recomend them to any teen girl who wants a little action and romance. Very fun to read! If I had to start over again I would read all her books in order of publication. She has the same world over and over again in many different books and I am all mixed up about a lot of the history that gets mentioned in every book. Just say-en.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This was a great book! If you haven't read book 1 first, make sure you do. This was a perfect ending to a great story. Not too predictable.
