The Prince of Ravenscar by Catherine CoulterMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Catherine Coulter has always been a favorite romance writer of mine so I was really excited about getting my hands on this book. It was an uncorrected proof copy, which might explain why I felt like the book was still rather unpolished.
The characters in this book are fun and larger than life, although I was confused in the beginning about who liked who, since there are two main couples featured in the book and they got pretty mixed up before everyone finally sorted themselves out. There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor, which is Ms. Coulter's specialty, especially with one of the characters pretending to be a vampire.
Although the characters are a lot of fun, I was not blown away by the plot. It was rather standard, with the hero swearing never to get involved with another woman after a tragic end with his first wife, and all the secrets behind it all. But of course this does not stop his family from pushing him to marry, or from him being smitten with the heroine.
There were also times during the book when I was not sure whose perspective I was reading from but that was probably due to the unpolished nature of the book.
Fans of Catherine Coulter will enjoy the book, especially with the history of the Sherbrooke family behind it, and the characters are a lot of fun. Although I was not impressed by the book, I was still entertained.
I received my copy of this book through the Goodreads Giveaway.
