![]() 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. ![]()
