[.ca] Some Enchanted Evening (ISBN 0061259462)

I loved this book!:
I thought this was a perfect book to read on a summer evening -- sexy, fun and a great read. I was looking for something to take me out of the dumps, and I remember liking a Christine Dodd book before. But this one was better, I could see why they made it a hardcover. It was worth the money!

I adored this book!:
Christina Dodd is in top form with this one! I always love "royalty romances" anyway and this is one of the best plus a promising beginning to a new series. I thought Princess Clarice was a wonderful heroine because she was smart and funny and her "make-up" lessons for the other women are priceless (and timeless! I picked up a few tips myself.) I thought Robert was one of the most winning heroes ever, so real and so sexy. I couldn't blame Clarice for falling for him because I fell for him too. I can't wait to read more about the "Lost Princesses". Here's to hoping they all find the love they deserve!

Good Book!!:
Congrats to C. Dodd! This is a fun book, although I did hesitate with how at ease everyone is at the end when the decides to strike out on her own. Most of the characters are interesting, and the sexual tension is very well done! I do, though, have this ominous feeling that it is going to take years to finish the book. Start typing Christina!

Another good Dodd Story:
I've read nearly every Dodd book. While I would not call this her "best," it was an enjoyable read. The hero, Robert, is a little colder than most, but he warms up. The old men were priceless. All of the reasoning was not perfect -- but I can suspend my belief and enjoy a good passionate novel like this. I look forward to the other books in the series.

4 & 1/2 stars really; an entertaining read:
I docked the book for these reasons: Godfrey's character remains too uncertain throughout the book; it's hard to understand why Clarice wants to return so much after reading all about her grandmother; Robert worries about being like his father, but the reasons for that fear are not clear enough; it's not entirely believeable that a royal princess like Clarice would stoop to essentially being a peddler; and the resolution could be longer, more detailed. By ignoring those minor problems and maintaining the suspension of disbelief, Some Enchanted Evening is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours. Despite some believeability concerns, Clarice is a strong and likeable heroine who steels herself to put duty before love. Robert is a powerful and compelling hero who does not believe she's a princess until halfway through the book. Their love scenes ignite the page, and their sorrow at being parted echoes in the heart. There are some wonderful secondary characters, especially the old men--they're delightful! I'm looking forward to the next book. This one ends with a cliff-hanger -- humorous and exciting, just the thing to generate interest in the Amy's story....it's the wait that gonna be tough.
