In the Prince's Bed

Royal Brotherhood Series (RBS) In the Prince's Bed #1 To Pleasure a Prince #2 One Night with a Prince #3 Read the RBS first because it is loosely tied to School for Heiresses Series (SHS). Never Seduce a Scoundrel #1 Only a Duke Will Do #2 (Louisa North, Lord Marcus North's sister & Simon, Regina's stupid brother) The School for Heiresses #3 (anthology, Story #1- Colin Hunt, Duke of Foxmoor's cousin) Beware of a Scot's Revenge #4 (Lady Venetia Campbell mentioned in one of the RBS) Jefferies is a high-quality writer that keeps my interest throughout the book and gives me that feeling of wanting to read the next in the series without waiting. I dig that. So far, I have not been disappointed. They are Regency style romances and I like to mix them in with the other genres. And if you're going to read Regency you should totally read Jefferies'. It's all very relaxing and comfortable. It has romance as well as being appropriately steamy. It is escapism at its best in my opinion. These books are the sort that gives you a nice ahhhhh feeling when you're finished. I can't think of one bad thing to say.

I love the character Alec he is great and funny. I thought that this book was funny yet it was also a tear jerker. I loved everything about this book and it was so hard for me to put it down and do the things that I had to do. But even when I wasn't reading it and doing whatever I still noticed that my thoughts kept going back to that book. And then I would smile because it is just a great book. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I read the second installment of this series first, the story of Lord Draker, but I just finished In the Prince's Bed this morning. Jeffries really deliver's in the first of a great trilogy. Alec Black has just come back from abroad to an estate that is run down and servants that need paying. His father died leaving him up to his neck in debt. The bastard son of the Prince of Wales, he decides that he needs to marry an heiress to secure the future of his estate. He turns to his two half brothers, also Prinny's by-blows, to help him catch his heiress. He picks Katherine Merivale, an heiress that won't inherit her money until she marries, a stipulation that her grandfather wrote in his will before he died. She has always thought that she would marry her childhood friend Sydney, a poet who just won't let go of his mother's skirts and marry her so she won't be destitute. After a fight between them at a ball, Alec takes his chance and confronts her on the balcony. He uses all his rakish charms to snare her. But Katherine has been reading a book that her father had called "The Rake's Rhetorik" and she knows that he just wants her for the chase. She agrees to act like he is courting her to make Sydney jealous, hoping that it will motivate him to finally propose. But, the courtship turns all too real, and Katherine finds herself falling in love. Even better than the second in the trilogy, In the Prince's Bed is an excellent start for the series. Alec is a great hero who falls for Katherine even though he is just courting her for her fortune. Katherine is a bit hard headed at times and slightly aggravating, and I can see why so many don't like her. But she has plenty of courage and spine, just what I want to read in a heroine. Sydney is an odd character that I'm glad Jeffries put into the novel. It gave it a sense of realism, a taboo subject that many don't put into their stories. I HATED Katherine's mother!! Such a spoiled, monster of a mother. I hope that the final installment in this series is just as good as the first and second. Run to the store to buy this one!

Entertaining plot, great characters and keeps you guessing. It is not an original story line, but its a good story. I liked all the characters, mamma was a little anoying at times, but I am glad that Kit finally stood up and snapped a little. I liked it and I do recomend it. Enjoy

Loved it, loved it, loved it. NO ONE writes the steamy scenes like Sabrina Jeffries. She is the best. I particularly enjoyed the secondary characters in this book (although, of course, the main characters were charming and lovable, as always too). Mama and Sydney were especially fun for me to read! My favorite scene? Mama finds Alec and Kit in bed together and "covers her eyes." Go Mama. I didn't want it to end, and I'm so excited to read about Lord Draker next!
