Let's call it 4-and-a bit stars :)I finished listening to this audiobook with a huge smile on my face. Yes there were some aspects of the book as a whole that I found problematical, but an excellent performance by Heather Wilds a narrator I will certainly be looking out for in future helped me see (or hear) past those issues, and just sit back and enjoy the story for what it was; a well-written and well-performed piece of romantic fluff. Castles is the fourth book in Ms. Garwoods CrownsRTC
3.5 disapointing stars.Miss Garwood you are one of my favourite authors!But I was so disapointed with this one...Characters were shallow,feelings not well written...I so hope that next one will be better,I'm not quiting on you...
Regency romance with sex. #4 in the Crown's Spies series. Have you ever read a romance series & liked one of the secondary characters? He's nice & funny, but the minute he gets his own book, he changes. He becomes the same cookie cutter hero JG uses in all her romance novels. He's arrogant, pig headed & sexist. Alesandra is a dispossessed princess of a small European country. There's a long story of how she comes to England & her numerous problems. She's a typical JG heroine
The fourth book in the Crown's Spies series by Julie Garwood. Princess Alesandra ends up on Colin's doorstep when everyone in his family ends up ill and he is forced to assume guardian duties while his family recuperates. Funny and fun. Another enjoyable read by Ms. Garwood.
I really enjoyed this! It was a quick and easy read.I loved Princess Alesandra. She was very smart and continually surprised the men in her life with her smarts. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is cause I felt the whole part about General Ivan was left unresolved (Alesandra was forced to marry Colin to escape having to marry the General so he could gain control of her home country). We know the General didn't get Alesandra's inheritance, but did he get control of the country? Does the
Given that this novel has a high average rating of 4.11, I seem to be in the minority, but in addition to the fact that there were several aspects of the story that reminded me why I avoid most historical romances, this book was also very poorly written. The editing was bad too. The use of the adjective "sexy" once (yeah, it was that kind of book) is an embarrassing mistake, but I would have let it pass. Sure, the setting was 1820 and that term wasn't used (at least in the way you mean) until a
