      Summary Emma knows that soon it will be time for her to marry the man her brother has planned for her. She has been craving freedom and a bit of fun before she is truly shackled to a man she hasn't ever met. So she comes up with a way to run from her companion, and heads to London. Where she bumps into Nick Gregory. He shows her the true enjoyment of life, and she finds herself charmed and fascinated and only wants more of him. Then when she least expects it, she knows that she is falling in love and that is dangerous. Emma knows she has a destiny that differs from what her heart truly desires. So she leaves him, but when she is returned to her brother she comes face to face with Nick once more. Now she knows she will have to make the most difficult choice...the duty to her country and her brother...or of one to true love.The Hero (Domonic Gregory)Nick, once a naval captain, has recently become the new Earl, since his brother's death. Nick, is way out of his element. But plans to make the best of the situation he finds himself in. When he finds a lone woman, being robbed he goes out to help her and finds himself offering her a place to stay. Thinking that she is a governess out of a job due to her age and beauty, he feels very protective of her. When he learns the truth about her he is overwhelmed, but he is willing to fight to keep her in his life.The Heroine (Princess Emmaline Whyte)Soon Emma will have to marry a King Otto, and she knows she has no choice in the matter. So she decides to abandon her companion and escort and head on her own to London. When she ends up being robbed and stranded but then a gorgeous stranger rescues her. She knows he is the kind of distraction that she is looking for. What she doesn't plan on is finding that matters of the heart are never easy to let go of...and all she wants to do is stay with Nick forever even though she knows its impossible for her.My Thoughts The Princess and The Peer is the first in the most recent series by Tracy Anne Warren. I have just fallen in love with every one of her books that I have been able to read. She has a unique way of making a story come so vividly alive. I really enjoyed the entertaining characters that just made you want to join in, through the laughter and the tears, there is such a endearing quality to the plot that it keeps the reader engaged until the very end. I really loved seeing how Nick and Emma start to fall in love. Nick from the start is strongly attracted to Emma, but at first treats her as a friend, and after some fun scenes, we see the first romantic spark which turns into a whirlwind of a romance that will take your breath away. A wonderfully portrayed story that will seduce you!!

      Review Courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: A story of love and royalty.Opening Sentence: Her Royal Highness Princess Emma of Rosewald stared at the letter held within her eighteen-year-old grasp, her fingers grown icy against the cream-colored vellum.The Review:In this story, taking place in the times of kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, there lives the Princess of a small country I don’t remember ever hearing of and the man who would be her husband, the Earl of Lyndhurst.Emma is a princess, on the run from her duty, looking for a bit of adventure before submitting to a life as a royal, in a loveless marriage to a man almost twice her age. But on her way to the home of a previous teacher, she is robbed of all of her money. She is saved by a handsome man, who gallantly offers to bring her to her destination. Upon her arrival, they are informed that the former teacher is out of town, thus leaving Emma not only penniless but without a place to go.As a peer of the realm, and former captain in her majesty’s navy, Dominic Gregory feels the need to help out this poor young lady. When he realizes the full extent of her misfortune, Dominic offers her a place to stay in his own home for the time being, and also brings in his aging aunt to observe all the necessary proprieties. For even he can tell this young woman is an innocent that was raised to be a lady, even if she is telling him otherwise.What neither of these two planned on was their mutual attraction and affection, taking them from their roles of savior and damsel in distress to the roles of two lovers, and the toll it will take on their hearts when the two must separate. For they must separate, Emma being a princess and all, and her upcoming betrothal to a king soon to be announced. One thing though, she has refrained from letting Dominic in on this little bitty secret, allowing him to believe she is an out of work governess. And after a night of passion, which involves giving up her innocence, instead of sharing her burden, she runs out on him, leaving behind only a note.Dominic spends some time and money trying to find his penniless governess, but to no avail. Not hard to figure out when she actually isn’t a governess. But, when the two are reunited at a ball held by the King of England, and the whole sordid mess is revealed, our Earl is one mad gentleman. But as time passes, he realizes the anger cannot eclipse the love that had developed in her time under his roof. With the help of Emma’s friends, also princesses, Dominic is able to see Emma again, to be with her again. And he decides that no matter what, even if it involves a trip to Scotland, he and Emma will be man and wife.In the end, these two find a way, with a little unexpected help from Emma’s sister.A nice love story, true to the regency romance genre, well written and organized.Notable Scene:“All alone?” he drawled darkly before sauntering into the room. “I presumed you would have company.”Her brows drew close. “No, I needed some time to myself. The ballroom had become—“Oppressive.Overwhelming.An opulent, unendurable hell.“—too warm,” she finished. “I decided to come here to cool off.”Wherever here might be, she thought. She wasn’t entirely sure at this point exactly how far into the house she had wandered.“Oh, of course,” he said sarcastically, strolling closer. “It’s only natural to withdraw to an interior room hundreds of yards from the festivities in order to cool off. Have you managed yet?” Pausing, he cast a pointed look at the fire that burned robustly in the room’s overlarge grate.Emma knew he was angry with her—understandably so—but what was wrong with him? And why was he looking around as if he expected to catch someone hiding behind the curtains or under one of the chairs?“I am much improved,” she said. “In my estimation, however, your prince has invited far too many people, even for such a large edifice. I suspect all the guests would be far more comfortable if the windows were opened to let in some fresh air in spite of the season.”He stared at her for a long moment. “My prince? What an interesting way to refer to the prince regent. But I suppose you are right that he is my prince. I guess your brother is yours, is he not, Princess Emmaline?”She flinched at the nasty way he said her name, as if it were a curse or a taunt. But Princess Emmaline was who she was—the truth at long last laid bare between them.“Yes. Rupert is regent in my country, so I feel the distinction needs to be made.”He bowed, the act mocking rather than respectful. “As you say, Your Highness.” Straightening again, he surveyed the room. “You really are alone, aren’t you?”Her frown deepened, puzzling at the remark. “Yes.”“Stood you up, did he?”Now she truly was perplexed. “He who?”Nick turned a pair of stony eyes upon her. “Whoever it is you were planning to meet here. Which one of your admirers is it? Not that royal duke who took you into supper, I hope. The man looked oily enough to leave grease stains behind.”She drew a steadying breath, finally understanding his line of questioning. Could it be that he was jealous? Was it possible he had been even a fraction as wounded by their parting as she?“There is no one,” she said, her voice softening. “How could there be after…”Her words trailed off as memories of their night together raced through her mind.“After? After what? Us, do you mean?” He gave a mirthless laugh. “Oh, I already know how deeply affected you were by our interlude, seeing that you ran off without so much as a word.”“I left you a note,” she defended.The Princess Brides Trilogy:1.

      I have lost interest/patience with wide eyed teenage ingenues attracting the attentions of men in their thirties. From the first line of this novel, tired cliche follows worn out trope. I barely made it to the second chapter. Nothing new or compelling made me want to read further and the retread feeling made me slam it shut and throw it down.
