review 1: Out of the three books in the trilogy, I think that this was my favorite as a stand-alone. The part I didn't like was that the story overlapped the prior story just used different POVs. However, none of the emotional/character conflict made it into this one so that if you read it alone, you would know of the happily ever after of the first novel. I felt that the hero/heroine conflict was much more developed and intriguing than either of the other two books in the series. Initially the attraction between the two was not well-developed because there is this past that the audience only knows by the characters thoughts, thoughts which weren't able to fully explore the depths of the emotions of the prior relationship. It is hard to initially believe how deep the feelings go. Ho... morewever, as the story developed, especially toward the end, part iv, where the growth of the characters really starts moving, the emotions were very strong and well-portrayed.Both Leopold and Rose have responsibilities and duties to their families that impact their relationship. They both face challenges as a result and have to make tough choices. Some of the results are not typically romance story outcomes, but I enjoyed that things were not so easily resolved into a happy ever after, if they had resolved all issues right off, it would have been too contrived. I liked how everything resolved and then re-resolved.
review 2: Princess Rose has been in love with Leopold Hunt all of her life. But then two years ago he rejected her and hurt her more than she thought possible. Now she is engaged to another man, whom she may not love, but she knows they will make a good match. When her carriage suffers a accident in England, she is shocked when the marquess himself comes to rescue her. Face to face with Leopold has stirred up all of her old feelings that she once thought were buried. Leopold, knows he made a mistake with Rose those years ago, but now is free from his father's manipulations to pursue his true desires....which lie in a future with Rose. Now all he has to do is convince her how sincere he is this time around, and prove to her of his love and his devotion. Princess In Love is the second in this trilogy. I found myself really enjoying this one, although I did like Rose, I think I enjoyed Leopold even more. We see such strength from him, and I just love seeing how hard he tries to prove himself to Rose. I found him very endearing at various times. Leopold is a very striking characters, that just makes you want to cheer him on. I think Rose could have been more self aware, she seemed to me to be a bit spineless at times. But I did grow to like her, especially at the end. This story is divided into four parts and I just loved how this story was put together. Even though there were parts that I questioned "Why???" I definitely found it to be a sensual and witty read that keeps the reader engaged. I loved the depth of emotion that is portrayed through to the reader. Again Julianne Maclean delivers a compelling love story that will knock your socks off!! less
