So Good I Can Read It a Million Times Over, Jun 30 2004
This story is simply amazing. Johanna Lindsey outdid herself with "Once a Princess," a novel about a girl raised in a Mississippi tavern who is really a long lost Eastern European princess.
Tanya is a splendid heroine. She is feisty, spirited, and witty, AND she knows how to stand up for herself. Stefan is her perfect match: dark and brooding with "devil's eyes," the future king of Cardinia fights fire with fire, with some passionate results. The two are an excellent pair together and fun to watch.
The fact that Tanya absolutely refuses to believe she's a real princess leads her into quite a few adventures as Stefan and his dashing companions escort (er, kidnap) Tanya back to Europe. Stefan's three companions are great characters, but the best is Vasili, the nasty conceited peacock who is so gorgeous women fall all over him. Of course, he gets his own book in the sequel "You Belong to Me."
What else can I say about "Once a Princess" but read it, read it, read it. It is my second favorite JL, the first being "Savage Thunder."

Not the best of hers, Sep 29 2003
By A Customer
I thought this book was good, but not up to the quality of the Malory books, which are the best of hers by far. The hero, Stefan, really is handsome man, though he dwells on some minor scar tissue and for those marks on his face, women for some dumb reason find him completely unattractive. He also uses Tanya a time or two when he really just needs some anger management courses. He calls her a whore throughout the book without once asking whether or not she is, and she never bothers to inform him otherwise. The story could have been a lot better if his character didn't seem so shallow. I don't know about other people, but I'm a little tired of JL's always beautiful and perfect females. How many of us are really like that? It was a decent book to read once, but I don't think I'll pick it up again.
