Synopsis

From the glittering ballrooms of Regency England to the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean, the dazzling finale of Gaelen Foley’s Spice trilogy unfurls the passionate tale of a rebel princess and the powerful warrior destined to become her champion.

Princess Sophia was only a child when Napoleon conquered the island paradise ruled by her father. Raised in England and now twenty-one, she means to claim the throne that is rightfully hers and bring peace to her war-torn land. But an ambush by enemies forces Sophia into hiding outside London. Disguising herself as a peasant girl until she can safely return, she meets Major Gabriel Knight, a wounded warrior whose brush with death has utterly changed him.

Heir to a great fortune, and a master swordsman, Gabriel has given up his worldly possessions and laid down his arms. Sophia is fascinated by his brooding magnetism, and Gabriel, lured by her fiery beauty and healed by her touch, is drawn back inexorably toward the world of the living.

But when Sophia’s royal destiny is revealed, Gabriel knows he must take up his sword again, whatever the cost, to protect his princess from those who would destroy her. And as longing blossoms into passion, Gabriel discovers the one cause that is truly worth fighting for. . . .

BookLender review by Anna on 2008-08-16 18:08:48

Maybe it's just me but it seems that Gaelen Foley's novels are getting progressively more goofy. I really enjoyed some of her earlier books, but by this point they almost seem like caricatures of romance novels - the hero is manly, the steeds are noble, and the sea captains are hearty yes, she actually used those words. Apart from some verbiage that occasionally made me snicker and some logistical details that struck me as nonsensical e.g. the princess is meeting diplomats in secret at a remote castle, and suddenly the place is full of courtiers and they're staging a fundraising ball, Foley's writing is smooth and the book is well-paced. If you're looking for a bit of escapism into Romanceland, you could do worse than this book.
