Unfortunately Hawk is getting more desperate to close the deal. The heiress is not making her decision fast enough for him. He devises a plan to compromise Miss Jenny but instead of the heiress in his arms it is her chaperone. Louisa and Hawk are caught and she is completely ruined……

I thought this was cute….
I found this while searching for love poems/quotes and thought it was cute….
I have found men who didn’t know how to kiss.
I’ve always found time to teach them.

The Prince Kidnaps A Bride
After a revolution there were three princesses sent far away to be safe. This is the story of one of those princesses. Her name is Sorcha. Sorcha was sent off to a Scottish convent to escape death. She had not seen or heard from her family from years. She didn’t even know if her sisters or grandma were still alive. She knew that her father had been killed fighting and that her fiance was captured and murdered.
Sorcha was content to live at the convent until someone came to bring her back home. One day a lone fisherman comes upon the shore of the convent and claims he has lost his boat. The convent is known to help stray travelers so they let the fisherman stay for awhile. Sorcha is drawn to this man even though he acts like an idiot. There is something familiar about him.
Rainger is that fisherman dressed in disguise. His job is to get the princess and take her back to her kingdom to marry her but he doesn’t know if she will go if she knows who he is. He was once an young arrogant boy that never had any time or patience for his fiance. He was too busy with all of his lovers and Sorcha always resented him for it.
Assassins are sent to kill Sorcha so she has to escape. She goes with Rainger(silly fisherman in disguise) and they set out for her country. Along the way Sorcha falls in love with Rainger and they end up married. Sorcha thinks she is marrying a commoner but she soon finds out who her husband really is. Can she still love him now that she knows….
This story is by Christina Dodd. It is part of the lost princesses series. I have read all three and I love this series. The only thing about this last one is that it went on forever. I actually got bored and put it down a few times. I love reading books by this author but this story just didn’t keep me glued to the couch until I finished it. I always recommend books even though I might not have totally loved it because my opinion could be different from yours.
Looking forward to any comments you have on this book! Happy Reading!

She Walks In Beauty…..
She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Lord Byron
