Hi. My name is Anne, and I'm addicted to fairy tales. Which is why it took very little persuasion for me to review this book. Besides, I've read Lacy Williams before and liked her writing. All I had to do is ask myself, "Self, does this book sound okay to read?" Self said, "Indeedy do." So Self did. And thoroughly enjoyed both sorta believable/totally unbelievable stories. Five stars for readability, great stories, and satisfying rough cowboys meet sweet but spoiled princesses.
Story No. 1--Princess Allesandra finds herself the target of assassins and runs for the hills. Of Oklahoma, that is. Enter the cowboy--a rather reluctant cowboy. He's just spent the late winter night with a heifer giving birth to twins in tail-freezing weather, and he can't go to bed and catch a catnap before getting on with the day. No, his brother Matt was flying in for a few days leave, so he went to the airport in his old pickup. Which was fine, but he'd picked up an extra passenger in the truck before they rode back to the ranch. You guessed it: the princess, looking to hide out. Where better than a remote ranch?
Story No. 2--Princess Mia, Allesandra's sister, has a wild reputation. "The kissing princess," they called her. But she grew royally tired of the guys who not only kissed and told but were only after her for the title. She vowed never to kiss another guy unless she was going to marry him. Then you need to get acquainted with Ethan, a young guy who'd given up his chance at college to try to raise two wicked stepbrothers. So long veterinarian career, hello back-breaking dairy farm work, barely making it from milk sale to milk sale while the boys managed to get into trouble and denigrate him for being poor and not providing better for them. Why would a princess ever give a smelly dairyman a second glance?
But these are fairy tales, so of course....
Oops, can't say that. Grab this two-in-one and settle in for a good-old-fashioned story or two. I think maybe even guys might like them.
Available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
