| Professional Review: |
| Her name was Aria...a beautiful, arrogant princess from a small European kingdom. Stranded in a storm of intrigue near the Florida Keys, she is swept ashore and into the arms of dashing J.T. Montgomery, an officer of the American Navy. Disdainful at first, Aria is secretly tantalized by the handsome Lieutenant's brash independence...and beneath her proud reserve, J.T. discovers a woman of sensuous fire. To escape her enemies, they return to her royal domain -- with Aria posing as an American bride. But if their daring charade succeeds, Aria must choose -- between the kingdom she was born to rule, and the man she was destined to love! |

 Written on March 24, 2006 Summary: Recommended read An excellent story, fun for those who like Jude's books. Passed it on to a friend after I read it and she loved it too. Written on March 8, 2006 Summary: Another enthralling Deveraux read! Jude Deveraux has once again delivered an enthralling romance with The Princess. Set in the year 1942, during World War II, this novel tells the story of Aria, the Princess of Lanconia, and what happens to her after she is kidnaped and left for dead on a Florida island during her first visit to the United States. Navy soldier J.T. Montgomery had looked forward to a quiet time of fishing and resting on the remote island when he sees men on a boat shooting at a dumped body in the sea. When he rescues the person, he sees that the person is a beautiful woman, but his life is never the same when the beautiful woman turns out to be royalty. A potential alliance with her country ensues and the US government forces J.T. to marry Aria, and when he is determined to show the pampered princess what married life to an American is like, he gets more than he's bargained for. Will Aria adjust to the simple American ways? Will feelings ensue between them? Who is trying to kill Aria? There are various twists throughout the novel. This novel has a nice mixture of historical, romance and suspense. I couldn't put this book down and enjoyed the roller coaster ride of emotions. I almost threw the book across the room whenever J.T. was mean to Aria. Yes, Aria is irritating at times with her demands and her pampered ways, but she knows of no other way to live. She had never left the safe shell of her country and her castle before and knows nothing of commoners' ways and customs. J.T., on the other hand, got on my nerves big time. He is mean, demanding and insensitive and behaved like a typical 1940s, a woman's-place-is-in-the-kitchen male chauvinist. But he is absolutely hot in his developing feelings for Aria, and I love it when he calls her "baby" or "honey." So, even though his stubborn personality annoyed me at times, he was also a very appealing and sensual alpha male. He reminded me of a Judith McNaught hero. The protagonists have great chemistry and the love scenes are wonderful. I see that J.T. is the son of the couple from The Awakening, which I meant to read first, but hadn't gotten the order in on time, but I look forward to reading said novel soon. My two complaints are that Aria adjusts to American life rather quickly and that I would have liked there to be more of a backdrop of WWII and an epilogue. Ah, well. The Princess is another winner by Deveraux and I look forward to reading more of her stuff. I just can't get enough of this author! Written on February 9, 2006 Summary: First Jude Deveraux book I ever read This was the first of Jude Deveraux's books I've ever read and fell totally in love. I've read all of her books since then but the princess is still one of my all time favorites. It's a wonderful story and my only complaint is that it ended the way it did. In my opinion there should have been a little more to let the readers know what happend to the happy couple. I still gave it 5 stars because this book introduced me to the wonderful world of jude deveraux, my all time favorite romance/history author. Written on July 28, 2005 Summary: Jude does it again!! This book is great. Def. don't hesitate to give it a chance. Sure the princess gets on your nerves in the first half of the book but you can't help feeling sorry for her because of the way J. T. is treating her. It's a very funny book. Esp. she dresses up as Carmen Miranda and does the "Chica Chica" dance with her mother-in-law. I didn't have any idea who Carmen was but the way Jude described it, you can't help but laugh out loud. Although the story takes place in the 40's but at times it doesn't feel like it (esp at the end it feels like a medieval). Written on July 9, 2005 Summary: One of her best I could read this book over and over again. It's funny and sweet. I love that this book is connected to both the awaking and a knight in shining armor. Both J.T. Montgomery and Hank Montgomery fall in love with uptight women. In the The Princess J.T. Montgomery rescues spoiled Aria and shows what passion is. He helps her become the woman she was meant to be. The reader will feel the despair, the heartbreak, passion and the joy of Hank and Aria in this very excellent character driven romance. I found the characters to be multi-dimensional and the author weaves a mystery into the story without slowing it down or interrupting the romantic flow. The plot and characters seemed fresh, the pace was quick, and it was a totally engrossing read. Full of enjoyable supporting characters and stories. This was just the kind of romance novel I love. Wonderful characters. Characters that seems real because they are not perfect-something most novels like this lack. Jude Deveraux developed Aria and J.T. Montgomery's personalities and motivations very convincingly, to the point where you feel as though you know them well enough to be friends by the time you finish the book. Ms. Deveraux writes some of the wittiest dialogue around -- I was laughing out loud at times. One of the things I liked best about this book is the way the author wove the emotional storyline with such a light touch -- I was engrossed with the relationship between the hero and heroine and truly felt as if I knew them both. The Princess was an emotional roller coaster, and I felt all the pain and joy they did. I was so engrossed, I read it in a day. The love scenes are ample & steamy, and the plot is a good one. A fast paced book with an intricate plot that I cannot help but enjoy. The Princess has a strong heroine who is in no way ordinary, a back story which is compelling but doesn't get in the way of the love story, and of course a wonderful hero. I love this book. |
