Jennifer Blake's prince in Royal Passion has a wonderful mix of physical and mental attraction. Nothing needs to be spelt out for him - he just knows! Highly intelligent and intuitive - this man is fathoms deep. There is a great blend of characters, and all of them are unique in themselves. I have read many of Jennifer's books, but keep coming back and re-reading this one as, firstly, I enjoy historical romances, but mainly because the main characters have an integrity that one can only admire. Loved it!
From the back cover...
When a boldly innocent maiden tries to seduce a gorgeous, brilliant prince, the result is royal passion.
Amid the color and music of a gypsy camp in the foothills of France, Mara Delacroix if Louisiana and Roderic, Prince of Ruthenia, met for the first time. She was the daughter of Andre Delacroix, who had lost his great love Angeline to Roderic's father in a daring gamble.
Now Mara was involved in a deception of her own. Visiting France with her grandmother-who had gotten them into debt to the ruthless Nicholas de Landes-Mara had to seduce Roderic (for reasons Landes would not explain) or see her dear grandmother suffer.
Mara wanted only to use Roderic in a game of intrigue. Roderic was well aware of her beauty and charm but didn't want to be anyone's fool. How could they know that passion would explode between them?
