In England in the year 1291, Finulla Crass, the adventurous daughter of the village miller, is determined to help her older sister, Mellana, who is pregnant out of wedlock and needs a substantial dowry, as her child's father will otherwise be too poor to marry her. The sisters come up with a rather unconventional plan - Finnula will find a wealthy man, kidnap him, and hold him for ransom in order to obtain the money Mellana needs. Finnula decides her captive will be a young earl, HugoAnother book in the summer of romance novels - this one will set a high bar for the others to attain, however. Reading through it brought me back to the basic principle that a good book does not need to be high literature if it it makes you want to stay up for hours to finish reading this one. And I certainly did with this book - much more so than almost any of the others I've plowed through recently. High spirited heroine who is just beginning to recognize the effect that men have on her. A
This is definitely a book I could see princess Mia writing in high school. I wouldn't mind a sequel but Mia is to busying running a country right now. Plus she has the twins. But I don't care what Mia's friends said. Hugo can't be Micheal. Micheal doesn't have hugo's temper. All seriousness. This was overall a fun book. The first half could have been shorter and the second half could have been longer but it's a fun book. This is the only one of Meg Cabot's historical romance's that I've ever
2.5 stars I think.I did not care for Hugo at all (I thought he was kind of a tool) and the book seemed to be longer than it needed to be. I didnt think the character of Jamie served much purpose. Finnula was an interesting, if anachronistic, character. This is supposed to have been written by Mia Thermopolis, which is cool, and the story has some of Mias humor in it. I liked Finnulas family, especially her overprotective brother.
I remember being so shocked when I first read this book. 10 years later and this book is so tame for other HRs I've read this year!
A historical, fun filled romance. This book was "written" by Princess Mia (of course she had help by Meg Cabot)But unlike the Princess Diaries books, this book is NOT YA friendly. Finnula or Finn as she is known, isn't your typical fair maiden. She would rather be hunting with her faithful compainon Gros Louis. Finn is known around her village and also neighboring ones for bringing meat and meals when needed. She has a kind heart and helps her fellow villgers. Her sister, Mellana, finds herself
It is a charming, sweet, adventurous historical romance with lots of humor, mystery, and loveable characters. Finnula is kind, generous, witty, and stubborn. I really liked her relationship with her siblings and the villagers. Hugo is a real knight, quick-witted, and makes no bones about his feelings and intentions. Both Finnulaa and Hugos personalities and motivation are nicely elaborated, and the secondary characters are also well-drawn. Ms. Cabot is able to characterize them with only a few
