Summary: AWESOME
Comment: Darius is the King's most trusted spy and master assassin. As a royal ward, an adopted son of King Lazar and the captain of the Royal Guard, he lives in the world of treachery, political intrigues, and espionage. With a dark and tortured past, he is ruthless in his pursuit of perfection. Quiet but fearless, always on guard with his emotions, his emptiness and desperation mirror his need to prove himself worthy in the eyes of one stunningly beautiful royal protectee, Princess Serafina, the only woman he loves beyond reason but will never possess.
Serafina is betrothed to a Russian prince to ensure the safety of the kingdom from Napoleonic conquest. As head of the palace security, Darius acts as her personal bodyguard, protecting her from men at all cost even from himself. He is aware of the feelings of adoration and devotion Serafina has always harbored towards him but he fiercely masks his smoldering attraction in favor of gratitude, honor, loyalty and love for King Lazar and the royal family.
Gaelen Foley weaves a tale of the inner battles of Darius to resist the irresistible Serafina whose caresses promise ecstasy beyond his wildest dreams. She pursues and he flees in this fiery dance of passion. Gaelen Foley sets in motion a sequence of events that will challenge the strength of their deep and unconditional love.
Aside from the sizzling erotic moments, she also packs exciting fast-paced actions, from the violent rescue of the princess by Darius, his suicidal mission in Milan, and his final encounter with Prince Tyurinov.
Gaelen Foley has created the character of beautiful Serafina as a pampered and spoiled princess who can have "any man in the planet" but who worships only her dark, brooding protector. Intelligent and beautiful, kind but willful, Princess Serafina knows what she wants and that is the love of only one man, Darius. She will pursue him at all cost even in treachery and seduction for she vows no man will ever rule her heart. She seduces him in their secluded hideaway. In the end, to finally claim her man, she pulls out a scheme this time, in FLAGRANTE DELICTO!
Even her daring a la "femme fatale" rescue of Darius from the hands Anatole proves her deep love and absolute loyalty to her man.
The story begins with the rescue of Princess Serafina by Darius in the garden maze on the night of her engagement party from French spies out to kidnap her to avoid the alliance of Russia with Ascension. The wounded Darius leads the panic stricken princess back to the palace through a secret passage leading directly to her bedchamber.
As head of the palace security, Darius is the only man privy to the secret door to the bedchamber of the princess. Although he has never violated her privacy in the past, his access to the secret door will later seal his claim to Serafina but will destroy the trust of the King and face the wrath of her fiance, Prince Tyurinov.
Inside her bedchamber there are so many tender and poignant moments that will reveal how deeply they feel for each other. He discovers that she keeps a portrait of him on the mantel. While tending to his wound, Serafina finds out that he still wears the medal she has given him on her twelfth birthday when he took the bullet meant for the King.
When security demands that she be whisked away to a secluded hideaway alone and unchaperoned, she manuevered the King to have Darius as her protector. She senses that Darius needs to learn how to love and heal the wounds of his past and she is the only person who can handle him. He tries to resist Serafina but the smoldering passion is a force to reckon with. What follows is the battle of wills...
I like Serafina's relentless determination, gentle persuasion even brazen maneuverings to get her man. You will feel the inner turmoil Darius suffers in trying to ignore her romantic advances and sweet seduction. Her gentle yet not too innocent declaration, "You can take anything from me", when he takes the white bow she ties around her head for keepsake when he leaves for Milan in a suicidal mission is utterly provocative and seductive. Imagine what Darius feels!
I love their verbal sparring and I admire her spunk in one incident, which I quote:
Studying him intently, she rested one juicy hip against his desk, her slim arms folded under her breasts, "You're very handsome when you scowl".
He gave him a dirty look. Laughing softly, she reached out and gently smoothed his hair out of his eyes. "You need to learn to relax-".
He grabbed her wrist and forced her hand away. "Stop touching me, for God's sake! Why are you always touching me? What are you trying to do to me?"
Poor Darius, can he ever resist such a temptation from the virginal princess who is off-limits? Secluded in a villa, passion explodes. While she remains intact and technically a virgin, he shows her all the wondrous ways a man can physically and sexually love a woman.
Their physical intimacies in the secluded villa, the taking of her maidenhead in her bedchamber on the eve of her wedding and later the incredible bout of afternoon sexual delights in the pink room in the same villa days after their wedding are so sensual and graphic and yet poignant and romantic you will appreciate Galen Foley's talent to satisfy the romantic and sensual fantasies of her readers.
This is a beautiful and satisfying sequel to Pirate Prince. Read the book and get carried away in this forbidden love by Gaelen Foley. She knows how to deliver a story with a strong plot, well defined characters, and scorchingly sensual love scenes that capture the readers' imagination. This blazing tale of seductive desire and passion is simply AWESOME!

Summary: Without a doubt, the BEST book I have ever read!!!!!
Comment: I have read A LOT of Romance novels (and I mean a lot), but this is the BEST one I have ever read. I never thought anything would top 'Honor's Spendor' by Julie Garwood, but this one did it!!! I loved the book so much I wrote to Ms. Foley and thanked her for writting it (and I've never done that before). I have never read such passion, devotion, and fierce love between two characters as I did in 'Princess.' Darius loves Sariphina so much it hurts. And likewise, she always knew she belonged to him. This book was everything I have ever looked for in a love story. I mean, you could feel every emotion they felt as you were reading. I cannot say enough about how great this book is. You have to give it a try. I read the book before this, 'The Pirate Prince' and though that was an enjoyable read, this book surpasses it a billion times over in my opinion. Read them both for yourself and see if you agree with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ms. Foley for writting the best book I have ever read!!!! Oh, if you want another good book by Galen Foley, you will LOVE Lady of Desire as well! She is such an intense and gifted new writer and she knows exactly what women want!

Summary: another foley great!
Comment: The Princess is the tale of a jaded, lost hero who rediscovers the joy of love with the princess of his dreams.
Darius Santiago has been in love with Princess Serafina, his protectee, since she blossomed into a beautiful, young woman. But he knows that King Lazar (who adopted him as ward) would never approve of such a match, especially since Serafina is engaged to the mighty Prince Anatole in order to save Ascencion from Napolean's attack.
Serafina has always been in love with the darkly handsome Santiago. But having been rejected once, she believes that his recent attraction to her is only because she is forbidden fruit.
Darius risks death in order to keep Serafina in her protective, little bubble world, uncovering dangerous evidence against her fiance and her failed kidnappers. But as he finally succumbs to his feelings, he realizes that only by unveiling his darkest secrets to her can he hope to keep her forever as his bride.
This is a fantastic sequel to the Pirate Prince and even though some reviewers seem to think that Lazar and Allegra aren't stellar parents, I can only see their love for Serafina and Rafael. Lazar dotes on her constantly, wrapped around her little finger. As always, Foley's books are filled with interesting plot twists and devious villains that I've come to enjoy as part of her romance book experience.
