Sensuality: 8
Imperious and beautiful, Princess Serafina has loved Darius Santiago, the king's most trusted warrior, since she was a child. But Darius was plucked from the gutter by the king to be trained as a spy, and although he loves Serafina beyond reason, he conceals his heart for he believes his background forbids a union between them. When Serafina is betrothed to a ruthless Russian aristocrat in a bargain that gains her tiny island kingdom protection from Bonaparte's armies, Darius intervenes to save her. His actions set in motion a sequence of events that will challenge the strength of their love and threaten their lives as well as the survival of the kingdom.
This energetic plot has the hero and heroine poised on the razor's edge of physical danger at the same time they're struggling to trust each other with the deepest secrets of their hearts. The supporting cast of secondary characters is excellent, especially the members of the heroine's family. Their normalcy provides a stark contrast to the hero, whose childhood of neglect and abuse has left scars and built emotional walls that only the heroine's love may heal. The delightful tales of Ascencion's royal family, first begun with The Pirate Prince, will continue with Foley's next novel, Prince Charming, the story of Serafina's brother, Prince Rafael di Fiore. --Lois Faye Dyer

another foley great!,

This review is from: Princess: (Book 2 in the Ascension Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

Without a doubt, the BEST book I have ever read!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Princess: (Book 2 in the Ascension Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
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!

Princess,
This review is from: Princess: (Book 2 in the Ascension Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
What an incredible match those two made! I never would have thought a world weary warroir would fall for a little spoiled princess but the effect was charming! I guess Darius needed relief from the world he was living in - the cold heart-less world of whores and danger - and so he turned to the delightful little Serafina. Admittedly Serafina annoyed at the beginning she seemed like a baby and I couldn't figure out why Darius would fall fo her. But then you get to know her character and what a good person she is and how much Darius needs her. How much Darius needs to unburden his soul to her - I mean the book is a work of art: you fall in love with both these characters eventually and for different reasons. Perhaps I would have prefered the book if Serafina wasn't soooooo beautiful, it would have meant that Darius wouldn't seem like a man running after an innocent young girl. Although truth be told, his resisting her charms shows that he was trying to save her from him so I suppose you could say that he wasn't really running after her. I found it SOOOOOO romantic when Darius finally gave into desire. He was such a gentleman all the way through the book! I fell in love with him from the start! Serafina was brilliant too! She seemed like a child at first but later on in the book you realise that she is smart and behind those beautiful eyes there is some wisdom. By the end of the book you really do appreciate all the effort she puts into saving Santiago's soul. You recognise her as a mature young women by the end of the book and Santiago as a sensitive warrior not a brutal one! What a romance! What a love! RECOMENDED - A TRULLY, TRULLY ROMANTIC BOOK!
