This is about the same as all Cartland books - Heroine is young and passive. And of course the hero is larger-than-life and domineering. No sex and I don't think they even kissed till very close to the end. Cartland has a way of writing just a little over the top, but she was very popular in her day.
Inside flap: Ilona knew what it meant to be alone. Knew how it felt to be hungry, mistreated, defenseless.
But now Ilona was going home. All the hardships of exile were behind her. She was going back to Dabrozka, the tiny kingdom whose throne would someday be hers. She was returning triumphant -- the beloved Princess of a proud and independent people who needed her desperately.
Ilona was Dabrozka's last hope for salvation. She alone could save her subjects from domination if she married a man who despised her. A man with whom Ilona was already falling wildly in love.
