3.0 out of 5 stars good but not her best 12 Aug 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having Read most of her works I was really looking forward to her latest series.
This is the first of 3 books about half brothers who are all by-blows of Prinny set in 1813.
The first book is the tale of Alec, the Earl Of Iversley (no-one other than himself, his mother and her husband know that he is the Prince of Wales' by-blow). Who has recently come into the earldom and has found out that his "father" has let the estate go into disrepair.
So he decides to arrange a get together with his two other half-brothers Lord Draker and Gavin Byrne, and form an alliance. Thay help him to marry an heiress and he helps them to attain a goal of their own.
Enter Miss Katherine Merivale, who has been waiting for years for her childhood friend to propose.
Alec "meets" Katherine at a ball and "suggests" that he play the role of a suitor to gently push her friend into proposing. In the meantime allowing Alec access to her and to court her.
Katherine finds that Alec isn't what the ton (herself included) think he is. With his mysterious past and what she feels for him, she feels drawn towards Alec. As the inevitable happens Alec's conscience starts to weigh on him. Even though now he loves her how will she take it that he originally courted her for her money?

This is an average run-of-the-mill romance with non of the real jest she has demonstrated in some of her other works. If you like Sabrina Jeffries you will not be disappointed but wont be really entralled either.

4.0 out of 5 stars I may be in the minority here but I liked Katherine! 11 Sep 2004
By tregatt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The first installment in a trilogy (The Royal Brotherhood) that, in my opinion anyway is off to a good start. "The Prince in My Bed" engaged my interest primarily because I came to care, early on, for both the principal characters (Alec, the Earl of Iversley, & Katherine Merivale). Yes, the storyline is a much used one (Alec is penniless and must marry money in order to repair his estate; and while Katherine is an heiress, she's living in penury herself until she marries), and yes, Ms Jeffries doesn't exactly put a new or fresh twist on her particular version of this much used storyline, but then she does provide us with a lot of tantalising sizzle in the interactions between Alec and Katherine as she makes her case as to why these two characters should end up with each other. Nowadays, many storylines are rehashed ones, and not every authour is able to out a new or unique twist on an oft told tale. So that for me the true test as to whether or not the book is a one worth recommending sometimes boils down to the main characters: are they likable, if we care for them and if we empathise with the situations they find themselves in. Reading over the other reviews, I noticed that while everyone feels for Alec, very few have any sympathy at all for Katherine. So, I'm going to mount a defense for poor Katherine, whom I really empathised with.

Here's a young heroine, up in town for her first season, and she needs to find a husband so that she can (finally) touch her inheritance that her family so desperately needs. She thought she had everything figured out since her childhood sweetheart (a sober and trustworthy gentleman) has more or less promised to marry her -- except that he keeps putting off officially asking for her hand because of his mother's "illness." And then Alec turns up and makes a dead set at her. Now Katherine suffers from another handicap: her father was a hopeless rake who quite beggared the family. And based on her parents' tempestuous relationship, and her bedside reading material, "A Rake Rhetorick," (a primer with instructions on how to woo and seduce a young lady), Katherine has quite a healthy distrust for handsome, rakish men. Some readers have been dismayed at Katherine's lack of trust, and how she would keep on defending Sydney (her childhood sweetheart), and keeping Alec at arm's length. But as Katherine notes over and over again, the one reason she doesn't trust him completely is because she senses that he's hiding something from her: and she's right, Alec is pretending to be a rich suitor so that Katherine will not think of his as a fortune hunter. And I'm not sure about other readers, but I'd much rather have a heroine who's awake on all suits to a foolish one who loses her head the moment a tall, dark stranger starts wooing her! And anyway, Katherine's natural doubts about Alec keeps the book humming and moving forwards. It's readily evident that in spite of her natural reservations, she's quickly falling in love with Alec. And knowing exactly what it was that Alec was keeping from her, I was curious to see how the authour would resolve everything and achieve the happily ever-after ending. And I was relieved that Ms Jeffries resolved everything very well and credibly too.

I'm still not sure what all the fuss was about. Reading some of the reviews I got the impression that Katherine was a real witch. And she's anything but! And truthfully speaking my issue with "In the Prince's Bed" was the language -- it was far too modern. And I suppose I'm not too sure about the title either. But then I haven't been sure about many titles for quite a while now. So here's my take: if you're looking for a book with plenty of tempting sizzle, "In the Prince's Bed" in spite of it's much overused plot premise, is just the ticket!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cast of characters 17 Mar 2005
By Sonja Foust - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Loved it, loved it, loved it. NO ONE writes the steamy scenes like Sabrina Jeffries. She is the best. I particularly enjoyed the secondary characters in this book (although, of course, the main characters were charming and lovable, as always too). Mama and Sydney were especially fun for me to read! My favorite scene? Mama finds Alec and Kit in bed together and "covers her eyes." Go Mama. I didn't want it to end, and I'm so excited to read about Lord Draker next!

5.0 out of 5 stars read the entire series 14 May 2007
By SistaSherry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Royal Brotherhood Series (RBS)

In the Prince's Bed #1

To Pleasure a Prince #2

One Night with a Prince #3

Read the RBS first because it is loosely tied to School for Heiresses Series (SHS).

Never Seduce a Scoundrel #1

Only a Duke Will Do #2 (Louisa North, Lord Marcus North's sister & Simon, Regina's stupid brother)

The School for Heiresses #3 (anthology, Story #1- Colin Hunt, Duke of Foxmoor's cousin)

Beware of a Scot's Revenge #4 (Lady Venetia Campbell mentioned in one of the RBS)

Jefferies is a high-quality writer that keeps my interest throughout the book and gives me that feeling of wanting to read the next in the series without waiting. I dig that. So far, I have not been disappointed. They are Regency style romances and I like to mix them in with the other genres. And if you're going to read Regency you should totally read Jefferies'.

It's all very relaxing and comfortable. It has romance as well as being appropriately steamy. It is escapism at its best in my opinion. These books are the sort that gives you a nice ahhhhh feeling when you're finished. I can't think of one bad thing to say.
