The Winter Prince
A new novel of love and war set in 17th-century England-from the acclaimed author of The Code of Love. Praised for her lavish use of history...and vividly detailed settings, * Cheryl Sawyer sweeps readers back to 17th-century England at the time of the Civil War, where a royal duchess and a warrior prince fight to save a riven kingdom. Mary Villiers, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, is a ravishing beauty raised as the adopted daughter of Charles I of England. In 1642 she is shocked to find herself opposed to her king when he decides to declare war on Parliament and therefore on his own people. Mary embarks on a dangerous quest to help save the throne of England for its rightful monarch, but first she'll tangle with the king's charismatic nephew, Prince Rupert of the Rhine

An excellent book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Winter Prince is an example of the "cream" of historical romances. It's definitely a page-turner, the fictional and the historical characters and events are presented in a lively fashion, and the romance is believable. It's not the overdone type where the heroine's bones melt the first time she looks at some guy. The author doesn't make women of the past into crusaders for equality or give them other characteristics of current days. The author is as good at describing the politics of the ladies-in-waiting's chamber as she is at the dynamics of the King's Council, a rarity indeed. I am glad to have found this book and will definitely look for more by this author.
