This is a lovely book. I read it in one sitting, and the premise behind the story, of fairies amongst us, is lovely.
Robin is great character, just as you would expect Puck to be - full of laughter, cheekiness and a good measure of sexiness thrown in there as well. Kate is a different type of heroine as well. With a good sense of humour and just like a real woman she doesn't have a waist that a man could put one hand around(!), she makes a nice change from your usual fare in romance novels.
The story is one of love, friendship and fighting the vindictiveness of Titania. Sprinkled with magic and featuring the sexiest fairy to ever step out of Shakespeare, this book gets 3 stars. It would have earned more if it had been more detailed and the writing more in-depth, but it IS a romance novel not a Booker prize nominee!
So if you are looking for a good book to curl up with on a rainy day with a tub of chocolate ice-cream, `Prince of Charming' will definitely keep you company.
Very enjoyable, lovely characters and the heroine is "reubenesque." Thank you, Ms. Fox! Good situation, tight plot, very welcome bits of humor. My only wish would be that there would have been maybe two less touchy-erotic scenes in the first half. Other than that, the relationship was electrical and the book kept me guessing about possible endings.
This is the first romance book that I thought I'd like to see made into a TV movie, if only so lots of other people would get to enjoy it, too. I very much look forward to the next fantasy romance book due out, what, this fall?, from Ms. Fox.
When Kate lifts the portrait and peers at the back, her fairy sight picks up on a mysterious name. When she reads the name Robin Goodfellow aloud, a charming, sexy man suddenly appears before her. Two hundred years of banishment into a portrait at the hands of the Queen of the Fae left Robin Goodfellow with only the ability to watch and listen. He's watched Kate grow and mature, and cares for her deeply. Now Kate has a week to move, and must cope with this man with a gift of charm, as well.
Robin doesn't stay long wit mortal women, as a rule. But Kate is different. He enjoys her friendship, and is wildly attracted to her Rubenesque figure. Robin's magic, a gift for charm, has always provided whatever he wants or needs, but when he finds himself needing Kate, true magic begins. Of course, the fact that he can't get further than fifty feet away, without magically reappearing at her side, has it's own attraction!
This whimsical tale will delight the heart of romance readers who believe in magic. The light humor and depths of passion prove to be quite delightful. Moreover, I find it refreshing for other reasons, as well. Not only does PRINCE OF CHARMING blend fairly lore and marvelous archetypes, but the heroine is quite remarkable-a sexy, tall, full figured woman, to be precise. Watching Kate's metamorphosis into self acceptance and full womanhood is wonderful! This novel is a marvelous read! Very highly recommended.
