About this ebook
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 the princesses home.
One of Scotland's most dangerous men, Robert MacKenzie is dazzled by the enchanting beauty who rides into the town he is sworn to defend. Though he is wary of the exquisite stranger, Clarice stirs emotions within him that Robert buried deeply years before. And now he must have her at any cost, vowing to gain her trust through the powers of his sensuous seduction.
Torn between her need to protect her secrets and her aching desire for the dark, tormented earl of Hepburn, Clarice is pulled into Robert's glamorous world . . . and into his perilous plan for justice and revenge. And with the winds of treachery swirling around them, a runaway princess must draw Robert's heart from the shadows and make him believe in happily-ever-after.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The three princesses of Beaumontagne have been lost for years. People are after them, wishing both harm and rescue, and they are trying to stay one step ahead. Clarice and Amy have been running a racket selling "royal secret" creams and unguents to make the less than fair townsfolk beautiful. But Clarice gets more than she bargains for when they ride into Freya Crags. The Earl of Hepburn is as handsome as he is tortured. Yeah, they're totally going to fall in love.The main plot, as well as a couple of subplots involving a Colonel who tortured Hepburn while in his regiment and a magistrate Clarice is on run from, are compelling and suspenseful. The sexual tension between to two crackles, but when they actually get down to it, the descriptions are laughable. Seriously, I had to skip those parts as I would chuckle aloud, then my husband would ask what was funny and I'd read it to him, and neither of us could go back to reading soon because we were laughing too hard. However, besides that it was a delightful novel and I'm looking forward to Amy's story next.
- 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 start to the series!
I am currently on a Regency kick and this one was terrific!! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a fun quick read. I haven't been reading many historical romances in the last few years and had forgotten how fun they can be...and quirky...and over-the-top...along with a bit of cheesy dialogue...lol. Christina Dodd is always a fun read.This this the first in the trilogy "The Lost Princesses". When revolution comes to their country following the revolt in France, the three young princesses are bundled off to England for safety. Over time, circumstances change and their whereabouts become unknown. Now that the country is safely back under the family's control, the Dowager Queen wants to bring the princesses home.Rating: 3.5
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I picked up the novel with the exquisite cover art and immediately thought of one of my Mother's favorite songs ~ Some Enchanted Evening ~ as performed by Frank Sinatra and I could often hear the music and the words in the back of my mind as I read this historical romance.
"Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
And somehow you know, you know even then,
That somehow you'll see here again and again.
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love,
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side and make her your own,
Or all through your life you may dream all alone.
Once you have found her, never let her go,
Once you have found her, never let her go."
Songwriters: Richard Rodgers
