You Belong to Me (Cardinia's Royal Family, 2)

After reading Once a Princess, finally Vasili was going to get his comeuppance for being horrible to Tanya by getting his very own betrothal-from-birth-but-i-don't-want-to-marry adventure. (Insert evil laugh here)

You Belong to Me is a wonderful story, which is a sequel to Once A Princess. Alexandra Rubliov and Vasili Petroff are forced to honour a betrothal agreement that their fathers 'supposedly' arranged. Neither are happy about it and do their damndest to get the other to break the engagement. Set in Russian times, you can just imagine the expolsive tempers that they both have. I loved the manner in which Alexandra tried to disgust Vasili and found myself laughing as I thought that Vasili was a bit too full of himself and definitely needed taking down a peg or two. The passion that flares between them was consuming. Neither were prepared to give an inch. Most definitely a keeper, as are all of JL's books (even the odd bad one). This is yet another JL book that I read over and over again.

Set back in Russian times, this book is a beautifully written historical romance. The "drop dead" gorgeous Count Vasili, must honor his deceased fathers so called wish, for him to wed. His mind is set on making his bride to be loathe and despise him. Little does he know that, the stubborn though well bred, Alexandra (his bride to be) has the same thing in mind. Known for her manner of always saying "the truth", this is a "no holds barred" battle between two stubborn Fools. You will love the misunderstandings and humour that goes on between these two. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys lighthearted and hilarious banter between two people who are obviously made for one another. I recommend this book wholeheartedly!

One of Johanna Lindsay's finest works of romantic fiction. Alex, the whip-brandishing heroine is one of the most unusual, and delightful romantic leads I've ever had the pleasure to read. The book was certainly unique; featuring fresh ideas and characters not frequently found in historical romance. The setting was unique, too. Lindsay made a wonderful decision to revisit the eastern hemisphere to continue the saga she began with Stefan and Tanya in Once a Princess. You really get more for your $ with this book!

Johanna Lindsey never dissapoints me in all of her magnificent compassionate romance stories.Romance runs wilded in 'You Belong to Me', especially between Alexandra and Vasili. Many parts of the story are emphasised in various ways showing so much unexpressible relatively explanations. I was so much inclined with this book that led to a sense nothing could be done while reading 'You Belong to Me', except placing yourself as the main character, Alex. Romance is the key to enticement. I strongly recommend EVERYONE to read this story. Positively,I am sure that little regrets will remain.
