This is the first in the series and I read it second. It was enjoyable but I liked the book that follows it (Alexander's story) even more.

This is a sweet Jane Austen-ish period romance with a little bit of fantasy mixed in. An average English girl is suddenly confronted with a proposal from a debonaire Slavic prince. She agrees, and enters a very sensual world of romance, prophecy, and mythological creatures. It is a fun and light read, an a little different from an average historical romance.

It was okay. My problem with this story was Penelope. She was kind of weak, especially when it comes to Damien. Whenever she wanted to confront him about an issue, all he had to do was smile at her or kiss her and then all was forgotten. Once or twice would have been okay but it happened all the time. She was very dull and boring.
There were some paranormal elements I didn't expect but enjoyed them.
Things I did enjoy was what happened with Alexander and how Damien's charcter. He really was a good ruler and used all of his resources. Interesting character. There were also some nice bedroom scenes.
Overall, easy read but not as good as Ashley's other books.
