![]() Saber/Raul is the true king he gets his royal Moricadian blood through his dead mother. Saber/Raul is the heir to a kingdom - the fictional Principality of Moricadia which is currently being run by de Guignards, a usurping bunch of the blood thirsty, torture-prone tyrants. The prince of the title is Prince Saber aka Raul Lawrence. It’s much better than bad, but not memorable enough to be really good. ![]() Dodd’s latest historical romance, Taken by the Prince, tells the story of a lovely plucky virgin captured by a hunky, oh-so-good in the bedroom prince and, while it’s a fun read, it was a little too formulaic for me. No, the true fantasy fellow is also a prince and, by marrying our more beautiful than the sunrise heroine, he makes her - bluebirds twitter, flowers bloom - a princess. It’s not enough that a man be noble, gorgeous, rich, sexy as sin, and blessed with a fabulous tailor. Novels that feature princes as the hero strike me as the supersizing of the hero in historical romance. And yet, the Princess saga clearly sways many a little girl - Disney anyone? - and big girls too. ![]() ![]() I never dreamed of being a princess when I was young. ![]()
