Just okay. It seemed to me to be very much on the surface. The story seemed to be lacking in a clear focus. The prince had emotional issues from how a woman had cheated on him years ago. And he thought he was sterile and he leaped to conclusions and he was wishy washy. Felt like the author was just pushing buttons or choosing stacks A, B and C to make up a story. Like you can sometimes do in children's books to design a princess or something. There was a definite lack of concrete details here. I don't enjoy books where there is no effort made to set the scene. I don't want to read a travelogue but some description of place would be nice. No effort was made to set a time line. I have no idea how much time passed in this book. Didn't work for me and I have liked this author in the past. I won't give up on her because of this weak one though. ( )
