Customer Reviews

An excellent book

Winter Prince is an example of the "cream" of historical romances. It's definitely a page-turner, the fictional and the historical characters and events are presented in a lively fashion, and the romance is believable. It's not the overdone type where the heroine's bones melt the first time she looks at some guy. The author doesn't make women of the past into crusaders for equality or give them other characteristics of current days. The author is as good at describing the politics of the ladies-in-waiting's chamber as she is at the dynamics of the King's Council, a rarity indeed. I am glad to have found this book and will definitely look for more by this author.
