I saw this novel recommeded in another, and thought- why not buy it? Best decision I ever made, I now have the entire series from start to finish, and read them repeatedly- i never can tire of them. The authors writng is incredibly engaging, and one where you have to finish and read the next.
Patricia Grasso has fastly become one of my favourite authors.

Can You Say "Co-Dependent"?
5 Mar 2006
By AVS
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Wow. This book was really something. For the first half, you have your cardboard cutout characters: an arrogant, yet likable prince meets a sweet young girl who has brief flashes of spirit. Very brief. Anyway, our story progresses, the couple fall into lust, fall into bed, even though the prince has sworn never to marry and our heroine has resigned herself to a life as a limping spinster.
Here comes the unwanted pregnancy. Now our prince does a complete 180 and becomes a total you-know-what. He "despises" the heroine, and proceeds to verbally abuse her, humiliate her in front of friends and family, lock her in her room, and force her to marry him, even though he makes it perfectly clear that he can't stand her. What a guy.
The heroine, meanwhile, cries and sobs and feels sorry for herself (with reason),all the while professing her love for the prince, taking his abuse (and her family's), and obeying his every command to "sit" and "stay". Woof woof.
What a disaster. And in the end, all is made clear and they all live happily ever after. Yeah, right. By this time you'll be wishing the prince would get run over by a bus and the heroine would be the one pushing him.

Supremely Inconsistent
29 May 2004
By C. DeMario
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"In to Charm a Prince", readers are treated nee tortured with an "I hate you, don't leave me" mentality. Dubious heroine Samantha varies from righteous indignation, to easy capitulation. She hates Rudolf, she loves Rudolf, she speaks up for herself, she allows herself to be trampled all over. And for a hero Rudolf is sadly lacking. At times incredibly arrogant and rude, he persists in reminding Samantha and the reader that he is a prince and therefore entitled to unswavaring obedience from all his belongings including Samantha.
Were I Samantha and I had been hit in the eye, told I were a piece of chattel, publicly humiliated on a grand scale, and demeaned every day, the prince would have been history. Instead Samantha chooses to take him back time after time only citing the fact that she loves him.
I continued to read the book in hopes that Samantha would come to her senses, her family would intervene or divine providence would assist. As it neared the end and the pages dwindled, I realized that no such thing would happen. The only highlight in this book were the surrounding cast of characters, Aunt Roxie, Samantha's sisters especially Victoria and adopted sons Drake and Grant.
If you choose to read this book, don't be surprised to find yourself banging your head with the book, mentally screaming back at the pages telling Samantha to run and don't look back.

Did I read a different book than the other reviewers?

This was one of the worse romance novels I've ever read! The "hero" (I use the term very loosely) is absolutely despicable. He shows no respect for the heroine and is very condescending. He's an autocratic, uncommunicative bore who verbally and mentally abuses the heroine throughout the novel. ****SPOILER**** He abducts her the night she intends to announce her engagement and later seduces her, even knowing it will ruin her and knowing he will not marry her. The "heroine" is spineless and in need of some self-esteem. She wallows in self-pity and (to paraphrase the "hero") doesn't know how to do anything aside from cry and vomit (yes, he's surely a prince!). This book defines wall banger and it was a test of my willpower to simply finish it.
