The Princess and the Peer

Princess Brides Series, Book 1

De: Tracy Anne Warren

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

When a royal summons from her brother arrives, Emma knows it's time to embrace her duties as the princess of a small European kingdom and marry the man her brother has chosen for her, a stranger she has never met. Instead, she does what any self-respecting princess would do - she runs away. All she wants is one week in London. One week to experience everything life has to offer, before she is locked away in a loveless marriage forever.

Former naval captain Nick Gregory has inherited a title he never wanted. As the new Earl of Lyndhurst, he chafes against his landlocked existence - until fate brings a mysterious young beauty across his path. Believing she's an unemployed governess, Nick offers shelter and protection to the captivating girl, never guessing her true identity.

Emma falls hard for Nick, but knowing they have no future, she flees once more, this time back to her royal responsibilities. But when she and Nick unexpectedly meet again, she learns that against all odds, he's determined to make this princess his bride.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"With a subtle nod to Roman Holiday.,\ RITA award-winner Warren's latest gracefully written and exquisitely sensual Regency historical is the perfect literary fairy tale for any romance [fan]." ( Booklist)

Awesome

An amazing story and is grateful young, average fair readers specially, of those who like fairy tales

Loved this book!

Any additional comments?

I loved this book! It wasn't a story line I had heard before and made me want to listen to it all day. I ended up getting the print version of the next one in the series and that one was also really good. I can't wait for the third one to come out now.

Amazing voice

Would you consider the audio edition of The Princess and the Peer to be better than the print version?

Definately better than the printed version, Justin Eyre brings this audiobook to life and grabs me into the book. I couldn't stop listening, had to finish as fast as possible

such a fun series!!!!

This book has moments of happiness, sexiness, dangerous, and romanticism.. I thoroughly enjoyed these series. so much fun!

GOOD - BUT I THOUGHT BOOK 2 WAS BETTER

I listened to the second book in the series before this one and I enjoyed it a bit more. I couldn't empathise with Emma as I found her to be immature and, after weeks of staying with, spending time with and generally using Nick, she was so selfish in the end.

Having said that, if you're looking for a historical romance then you could do a lot worse than this book but unfortunately I didn't think it was quite as romantic as book 1. Yes, it was good but just not great and it's one of those frustrating books that has you shouting "arghhh, tell him!!" and "you love each other .... so just elope" but then that's why I'm not an author - my books would only be about 10 pages long !.

Worth a credit? Despite what I've said above, and if you're looking for a nice historical/romance then YES I would spend the credit and I will be downloading the third in the trilogy.

Great read..

Any additional comments?

This was a real page turner. I loved everything about this book. Loved Nick and Emma. Loved Ariadna, Mercedes, Rupurt and Sigrid. Loved the storyline. Loved Justine Eyre's narration. Truly a great read. This is my first book by Ms. Warren but it's made me want to read all the rest she's written.

Unsure at first, but glad I continued

This first novel is set in the early 1800's. I am a fan of historical romance, especially the Outlander series. This is nothing like those. This is the first of a trilogy written about three princesses. Warren did a nice job making her characters accessible and realistic.The plot is solid and has the right amount of suspense. At the end though, you can most likely guess the outcome. Not withstanding, Emma, is the main character you can get behind. This is much more romance in this book and only scores a one out of five on the steamy scale. You read this because of the interactions of the characters and the time period. Warren is a little light on description, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment.

It takes a least and hour of listening to get used to Justine Eyre's narration as it is accented for the story telling. At first I had three stars in mind for her, but eventually I warmed to her performance. I recommend this book enough that I will listen to the trilogy. I give it a thumbs up.

ok, but not great.

Any additional comments?

This book was ok, the narration was very good. The wedding trap series is much better and I had listened to these before this series. I may not complete this series since the characters are on the boring side. The women are so weak you just want to yell at them.
time for something else, but if you want a easy to listen to romance then you should listen to this.

Really enjoyable

This is a fun story of forbidden love between a princess and a non royal, although he IS an earl. The two meet under circumstances that are interesting and their attract6to each other turns into romance. But the complications may be too many to overcome.
The story had interesting characters, plenty of longing and heat, and the narration was well done.

Enjoyed

Would you listen to The Princess and the Peer again? Why?

I enjoyed this. The story is good and the performance entertaining. I was engaged in the characters an cared about the outcome,
