The Barefoot Princess (Lost Princesses, Book 2)

Okay so who doesn't want to chain a guy up in your basement, especially one who has neglected the kind hearted villagers? Christina Dodd's sense of humor is fantastic, I must admit I was laughing so much my husband got annoyed when we were reading side by side in bed. Amy has a lot of wit, spirit, and yes a little disdain. Jermyn is a kind hearted lust magnet that is finding his way into his Earldom. The best part about the book is that the characters change and those unexpected twist turns make it a very entertaining read.

The Barefoot Princess is the second book in the Lost Princesses Series and is a perfect follow up to the first book. They both leave you wanting more. I could not wait untill this one came out, and I am now waiting for the third book in the series to come out. They engage your imagination from the first word till the last. The characters are rememberable and well formed. Even the supporting characters are fun. Both books have the perfect combinations of romance, humor, and danger. I loved both books and hope you will too.

I was attracted to this by something I read about the heroine tying up the hero in the basement and not letting him out (what can I say? A little bondage never hurt a hero). Anyway, it was really incredibly sexy -- but funny and sweet too. This is a real winner of a book. I hadn't even read the first one, but it didn't matter. NOw I'm going to buy that one too.

She always dreamed of slaying dragons, but at nine she and her regal siblings Clarice and Sorcha fled their war-ravaged kingdom to live in separate exile in England. Princess Amy Rosabel vowed to fight real dragons not fairy tales creatures as she ardently feels she must intercede when injustice occurs. In 1810 living on the isle of Summerwind, Amy is irate that the gentry stole elderly islander Miss Victorine's beading machine invention that is now the rage of London high society. Amy holds culpable the Marquess of Northcliff for causing this affront. She vows to teach this arrogant aristocrat a lesson on neglect of duties and injustice, and get Miss Victorine the money she earned.. Her plan works perfectly when she and Miss Victorine kidnap the Marquess, Jermyn Edmondson. Amy chains him in her basement and sends her demands to his uncle Harrison to pay a ransom for his nephew's safe return. She thought wrong as his uncle wants Jermyn dead so he can inherit everything. As his anger cools, Jermyn and Amy begin to fall in love, but she wonders how her heart could betray her with the enemy. The second Lost Princess Regency is a terrific historical romance that starts off with SOME ENCHANTED EVENING that includes an abduction, chains and manacles. Stockholm syndrome aside, the lead couple are a delightful amusing match-up who fusses and fights, but falls in love with one another. Fans will enjoy their rousing battles even as his uncle betrays him by ignoring the ransom demands with the fondest wish they kill his nephew (think Ruthless People). Book two is a winner with the Crown Princess Sorcha's tale still to come. Harriet Klausner
