My Thoughts
My Ruthless Prince, is the fourth in the series, and the first book that I have read from the series. I have just loved Gaelen Foley, but for some reason I must be behind in the times or lost in a cave somewhere, but when I discovered these books at the library I knew I needed to read them…not even knowing which book is in order. However when I started reading My Ruthless Prince, I don’t know I even got up once, I was so enthralled into the story…I mean the plot wasn’t something I had never read at least the basics, however there was something that completely drew me into the story, the plot and the vivid portrayal of the characters. I think one of the things that kept me so involved into the book, was how there was surprise after surprise, things I would never suspect to happen, which definitely had me intrigued at the least. So if your in the mood for a good spy historical romance, I would recommend My Ruthless Prince and I am sure the rest of the books in the series so far….there is something almost magical about the way this author writes!!! You just won’t be disappointed!
