Prince of Eden

the 2nd of a 7 part series about the eden family. they don't write romances like this anymore. the story sucks you in quickly, and will keep you up at night totally absorbed. a true page turner, both exhilerating and tragic.the characters are so rich and well developed. the sex scenes between heroine and hero are hot but few. oh, and for you ladies who like a handsome hunk on the cover. this is the book for you (paperback only). this guy is so gorgeous, it makes me want to put his picture in my wallet....

This is the only romantic novel that I can still remember after 15-18 years and I have read a large numbers of novels. A friend lent it to me when I was in high school and after the first few pages, I am awed by the development of the story. Marilyn Harris is a rare top-class writer whose writing skill is able to capture the interest and emotional participation of the reader. Prince of Eden is not frivolously written unlike most romantic novels with a shallow or sugar coated plot and a cinderella ending. This is a solid piece of work with substance. You will sense that the writer has put in a lot of thoughts and ingredients to make the story come alive. All the plots are intricately plan and brilliantly presented. You will be surprise to find a number of vivid and humanly interesting characters seeking your empathy in this wonderful historical novel. I believe you will be as absorbed in it like in a movie. I have never shed a tear and feel so emotional for other books except this one. It is a pity this novel is out of print.
