Publisher's summary

Orphaned and besieged, Princess Alesandra knew that only hasty marriage to an Englishman could protect her from the turmoil in her own land. To the amusement of her makeshift guardian, Colin, younger brother of the Marquess of Cainewood, the bold raven-haired beauty instantly captivated London society. But when Alesandra was nearly abducted by her unscrupulous countrymen, the fighting instincts that won Colin a knighthood for valor were kindled.

Deceiving himself that he wanted only to protect her, Colin swept her into a union meant to be a marriage in name alone...yet Alesandra's tender first kiss and hesitant caress ignited a wildfire in his soul. As the lovely princess dashed headlong into unforeseen dangers, Colin would follow, knowing he must claim her as his own forever. Now he would risk life itself before he would lose this sweet, tempestuous angel....

Book is more enjoyable if you know the series

I loved this book because I was so familiar with the character and the whole family after reading the first 3 books in the series (definitely begin with 1). It can stand alone fine, but it is much richer if you know the history of the main character, which is much more filled out in the first book of the series. Up until this book he's a rather minor character, but in his own book he a real sexy hunk. So read them all!

wonderful

I am a big fan of Julie Garwood. This book was very entertaining. The performances was great.

Good!!

Throughout the book, I wondered when the author, Julie Garwood, would bring the murderer back into the story- and she finale did near the very end of the book - I guess for the excitement!
At first I hated Colin ( Colin - really? That part off the digestive system, isn't it?) I hated the American way the narrator pronounced this name , instead of like Collin(!) Which is the true pronunciation!) Colin was so autocratic and self-centered ! Alessandra ( the Princesd he married ) was too stubborn and lied often to him because he would have got angry at her. But as the book went on, Colin became warmer and more understanding ofm Alessandra and loved and accepted her as his wife. There was excitement and intrigue in this story which made it good!

This book was great.I'm glad I
didn't listen to the reviews.I enjoyed this book very much!

The characters! we're amazing!

This series is one of the best historical romance I've ever read and because it is I can not tell how many times I've reread it if you haven't read any of it you will surely enjoy it!

COLON IS A BODY PART NOT THE LEADS NAME!

The narrator ruined this book. I just really wish they had kept the original narrator for the series. This narrator pronounced the male romantic character’s name as colon. Really, how can you listen to a book that makes you think of colonoscopies every single time she mentions his name. It just doesn’t work! HIS NAME IS COLIN!! IN not ON. I got through the book, but I just didn’t enjoy it.

Love Julie Garwood's work!

I've read all of Julie Garwood's books and was thrilled to find them on Audible. The performer did a great job. Truly did the book justice. I would recommend this
audiobook.

I love this Family and their stores!

loved it ! I was chalk full of excitment i love the fact that the story lines continue to run thru a family and we can grow with them as the move thru life get married and have children.

Audio book review

Love this story, but the narration was a little lacking. If you have listened to other books in the series this is a new narrator and she keeps pronouncing Colin's name as "Colon" how someone didn't connect this with the other books in this series baffles me.

Good one

I read this first when it came out in 1994 or there about. I enjoyed it then but I enjoyed the audible even more. It’s been a favorite book and now a favorite audible. Lively characters. Some old friends from her other books and some crazed butlers, in a good way. HEA, no cheating, no cliffhangers. Enjoy
