About this audiobook
Once upon a time...in a kingdom high in the Pyrenees, three young princesses were forced to flee the chaos in their land—vanishing without a trace and lost to their people...until the day a courageous prince can bring each princess home.
Life in exile has taught the passionate Princess Amy to hate injustice, and on the enchanting English isle of Summerwind, she finds injustice personified in the powerful and wickedly handsome Jermyn Edmondson, marquess of Northcliff. Since he has stolen the islanders' livelihood, Amy decides to steal him. She kidnaps the arrogant nobleman, chains him with his own manacles, and holds him for ransom.
It's a simple plan, destined to succeed. Surely Jermyn's uncle will pay his ransom. Alas, his uncle would be delighted if someone killed his nephew and left him to inherit the title and fortune. And holding the furious, guileful, sensual Jermyn chained in her basement provides a challenge to Amy's restraint...and her virtue.
How could such a little revenge and blackmail go so passionately wrong?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great story! I laughed and cried many times! Such wonderful writing and really engaging characters!! I love this authors work!!
Loved the princesses adventures. This was a great tale for the youngest sister!
I am currently on a Regency kick and this one was terrific!! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amy doesn't want to be a princess. She wants to explore the world, be unrefined, and have adventures. Fortunately for her, she's a princess in exile with assassins after her. She finds a temporary haven on the isle of Summerwind. The residents have been neglected by their lord, so they decide to kidnap him to teach him a lesson. Obviously, he and Amy end up falling in love. Amy is delightful: witty, defiant, spirited, and clever. Lord Northcliffe is rather highhanded, demanding, and alpha, but I've got a little more patience for that kind of thing in historical novels than contemporary ones. The plot is suspenseful and amusing; really kept me turning pages! The only complaint I have is the use of more modern euphemisms for parts of the male anatomy, specifically one that is a synonym for rooster. This really detracted from my enjoyment of the steamy parts. Other than that, it was fantastic.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Amy is a princess in exile, a princess with a well developed sense of outrage about injustice. She is vry offended about the way in which Jermyn Edmondson, Marquess of Northcliff has tried to squeeze every last penny out of the hands of the islanders and therefore he has to be punished. She decides to kidnap him and hold him to random. However her plans aren't straightforward and prone to problems.Entertaining, light but nothing terribly stand out.
