Format:Mass Market Paperback
Once upon a time...in a kingdom high in the Pyrenees, three young princesses were forced to flee the chaos in their land -- vanishing without a trace and lost to their people...until the day a courageous prince can bring each princess home.

Life in exile has taught the passionate Princess Amy to hate injustice, and on the enchanting English isle of Summerwind, she finds injustice personified in the powerful and wickedly handsome Jermyn Edmondson, marquess of Northcliff. Since he has stolen the islanders' livelihood, Amy decides to steal him. She kidnaps the arrogant nobleman, chains him with his own manacles, and holds him for ransom.

It's a simple plan, destined to succeed. Surely Jermyn's uncle will pay his ransom. Alas, his uncle would be delighted if someone killed his nephew and left him to inherit the title and fortune. And holding the furious, guileful, sensual Jermyn chained in her basement provides a challenge to Amy's restraint...and her virtue.

How could such a little revenge and blackmail go so passionately wrong?

Better than I expected from the premise, and better than the first book 3 Feb 2006
By statengirl - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the second book in the "Lost Princesses" series about three royal sisters who must flee their homeland in the Pyrenees during wartime, and now - ten years later - are still in hiding for fear of assassination by their country's enemies. This is the story of the youngest princess, 19-year-old Amy, who is currently living with the elderly spinster Miss Victorine on a small English island off the coast of Devon. The islanders are near starvation because of profound neglect by their wealthy liege lord, Jermyn, Marquess of Northcliff. Jermyn has been living a life of leisure in London since inheriting the title from his late father thirteen years earlier. He has left the running of his properties to his uncle. Unknown to Jermyn, his uncle has been stealing from him and ignoring his tenants' needs. Princess Amy decides to take drastic measures and, with the help of several islanders, she drugs and kidnaps Jermyn and imprisons him in Miss Victorine's cellar with his ankle shackled (but otherwise treated and fed very nicely, thank you). A ransom demand is sent to Jermyn's uncle, but he refuses to pay it because he wants the kidnappers to kill his nephew so that he can inherit. Meanwhile, captor and captive are spending a lot of time in each other's company and, although often sniping and snarling, are starting to look rather longingly at one another. Amy seems to be the only person who has ever spoken honestly with Jermyn, which both infuriates and fascinates him. Because of Amy, Jermyn begins to wonder whether he has neglected his duties. And Amy begins to wonder whether Jermyn is the devil she first thought, or rather is he her destiny?

I found this book to be a fast and fun read. I really liked the chemistry between Amy and Jermyn, and his shackled leg definitely added to the humor and sexual tension. There was also an interesting cast of secondary characters, including Ms. Victorine and Jermyn's valet. And the heroine did not make herself needlessly difficult, but was refreshingly obliging. Towards the end, however, the plot became a little weak with respect to the problem of Jermyn's uncle, whose resolution was pat and uninspired. Although this deflated the story a little at the end, I felt the majority of the story was good, particularly the couple's spirited relationship.

barefoot pleasure 5 Feb 2006
By Cheryl Dennemann - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I always love a sassy heroine and a slightly bedgragled yet utterly handsome hero, Jermyn, who is only slightly a rake with a lesson to learn. Great scenary( and I am not talking about the landscapes here), great dialogue. The whole story made me smile, the fabulous intrigue, lust, and the love. I loved this one. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Clarice's tale, but I devoured Amy's. She's more my kind of a princess, the one who speaks her mind and wants to do good and right wrongs, a little Ever After- ish. I mean really. She's strong, great minded, takes what she wants, stands up for what she believes in. Ties an utterly handsome marguess up in the basement with a manacle. You know all in a days work. Witty is an understatement. Amy is Charming, intelligent, and very much the kind of a women we all admire. Of course you have to have a little devilry too. I mean really, who hasn't wanted to kidnap a hndsome man and have him totally helpless to your will, in the basement? hm....

I Can't wait to read Sorcha's adventure. so far they are only getting better. I mean really, who wouldn't want to be kidnapped by a handsome, strong, slightly dark prince that's a little rough around the edges from being imprisoned who has eyes only for you? Especially if you've been in an abbey on an island for over ten years, separated from your family and your home, oh, and you're a raving beauty with normal famale inclinations. uh huh, I can't wait. I could barely keep myself from calling off of work to read, "barefoot Princess," who knows, I may when the final one is released they are that good! Candy for a woman's soul.

BAREFOOT fun. 14 Mar 2006
By twinpeaks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS is about a kidnapping gone awry. Amy (princess #2 in the series) captures Lord Jermyn, chains him in her cellar and sends off a ransom note to his uncle. She wants the money to help Jermyn's downtrodden villagers, but his uncle wants him dead, so he doesn't pay. Pretty soon she's discounting Jermyn (who is not used to being treated like this) and it gets very funny and very sexy. The sex while he's chained is very very hot and when he gets free and gets revenge it's even better.

THE PRINCE KIDNAPS A BRIDE is book three in the series and according to Amazon, it comes out in December. The sooner the better. I want to see the prince get his.
