Customer Reviews

Expected more

I have read many romances and have discovered that there is a wide variety of styles. After reading the synopsis, I was expecting a really exciting plot, but I have found this book to be very predictable and not what I anticipated it would be. This is my first Medeiros novel, so perhaps her style is not my style. I love to be surprised by the twists and turns of the plot and appreciate humor, especially more sophisticated humor. I haven't found that in this book, so perhaps I should try another one of her novels to see if it's a better fit.

Charming

In 1360 England, Lord Bannor the Bold returns to his home after years at war. Bot h his wives have died, leaving him with a dozen children to raise. With no mother, the children have become royal monsters. Bannor, afraid that he'll get another woman with child, sends his steward to find him an ugly wife who will be mother to his children. What he gets instead is Lady Willow, a beautiful young woman whose dreams are of a prince charming.At first Bannor is horrified! Lady Willow would surely be too tempting for him. He ignores her and sets his children out to terrorize her. He is surprised when she joins forces with the children to make HIS life miserable. Eventually the two find a truce and find that true love always wins.This was my first book by Teresa Mediros, and I found it to be very charming and sometimes extremely funny! Highly recommended.

Original

I enjoyed this book because although it stayed within the confines of the romance genre, it still managed to be very orignal. A happy ending was a sure bet, but watching them get there was a real treat.Instead of tucking children away out of sight, the author brings the kids actively into the plot. They manage to be interesting without being too cute, too.A good read.

Positively Charming

I loved this book. I am a fan of the author of this book. I previously read only her time travel books and enjoyed those thoroughly. This was the first actual period piece that I read by her and I was not disappointing. This book was absolutely hilarious. I still can't remember what made me laugh more, the devilish antics of the brood of kids or the interesting relationship between the hero and heroine. My favorite scene in the book is when the heroine first meets the hero and the kids. This book is a great read. It's sexy, intellectual, and probably shows exactly how some stepmothers feel. It was a great book and I highly recommend it to all.

The best yet

I loved this one out of all her books. I have bought everyone of them, the first being "Fairest of the All". I love romances with humor, and I was just hooked on her books after that. "Charming the Prince" is her best one of all, and it's great reading it over and over again. It just pulls you in, and makes you feel you are there and experiencing what they are feeling. I hope she has more books with them in it. I would like to know how many kids they will have.
