Narration Toward Books Prince Charming
Only her beloved grandmother, Lady Esther, knew how devastated Taylor Stapleton had been when her fiancé eloped with Taylor's cousin. Now dear Esther -- one of London's richest and most formidable matriarchs -- lies dying. But first she was going to help Taylor pull off the scam of the season. To escape becoming a ward of her unscrupulous uncle, Taylor would wed Lucas Ross, a rugged American rancher. Lady Esther's money would enable Ross to return home to Montana. Taylor had her own urgent reason to go to America...a precious legacy she hadn't revealed to Ross, for they had agreed to part ways once they reached Boston. But as her handsome new husband spoke of life in Montana, Taylor began planning a new future. To Taylor, the wide-open spaces of Montana sounded like paradise....Rating Appertaining To Books Prince Charming

Reviewed for THC Reviews"4.5 stars" I first read Prince Charming many years ago when I was pregnant with my son (I ended up naming him Lucas in part because of this book.:-)). In spite of that, I still didn't recall much about the story. In fact, I thought I remembered a couple of things and then ended up being completely wrong. My memory may have failed me, but Julie Garwood certainly didn't. This book turned out to be one that was well worth the re-read.Prince Charming is a story that isNot my fave historical by JG but it was still a fun read.The ending was a little 'meh' though.setting is post American Civil war in Britain and USA.Taylor connives with her dying grandmother to escape the clutches of her evil uncle with the help of a hired hottie; Lucas Ross.She seems to be the ultimate fancy dress upper crusty brit. He seems to be an American ex-soldier. Together they take a steamer to the States and each has their own preconceived ideas of where the future will go from there.
3 1/2 to 4 StarsNot my favorite Julie Garwood bookit was a bit more chick-lit than I prefer, as the heroine's relationship with the hero seemed to take a back seat to her relationships with the secondary characters. That said, I still enjoy this book, and in typical Garwood fashion, the ending left me feeling blissful, tenderhearted, and grinning. Note: I listened to the audio version of this story and the narration was fabulous.
Taylor's grandmother, Lady Esther, is dying and knowing her granddaughter will need protection she finds a man to marry Taylor and take her to America. She finds Lucas Ross, an American rancher and mountain man.I thought this one started out wonderfully. Unfortunately, it lagged a bit towards the middle. But overall, it was a good read. But not, in my opinion, Ms Garwood's best. Compared to other books of this genre (American West-historical romance), I think it stands pretty well.

This is actually one of my all time favorite Julie Garwood books. For years, I hesitated picking it up because I just could not get past the title. But one day, I decided to take the plunge and am very glad I did! In this book, Garwood really lets her sense of humor loose and I found myself laughing out loud to the antics and escapades of the heroine. In typical Garwood fashion, we get a wonderful romance, a great story, characters that you grow to love, and some very controversial subjects (eg,
Gah! I am officially a big time Garwood fan. LOVED this book! Starts off in London then moves to US. Time period in the mid 1800s. The Matriarch of the family is dying and before she leaves this earth she sets events in place to change her will. Taylor, her favorite grandchild, has been humiliated by her fiance eloping with her cousin Jane(notice no y) just weeks before her wedding.
