Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Women never said no to the dashing Lord Matthew Weston and he never said no to them. But this was the very first time he found one tempting enough to impetuously say 'I do.' Was it any wonder he awoke to discover her gone? And when Matthew learned the enchanting creature he'd married was of royal blood -- and would abandon their marriage bed without a second thought -- he vowed to put her out of his life forever.
But even a princess makes mistakes. And now Tatiana's back, asking for the kind of help only he can give her. But is his assistance all she wants or are there secrets the willful royal is keeping from him? Matthew may well lend her his hand but he'll never again give her his heart. Still, he's determined to tame the green-eyed beauty and change her from a perfect princess to his passionate bride.

England 1800's
HER HIGHNESS, MY WIFE is a light nice read, however, sort of bland compared to the very first novels in the Effington family series.

I admit that I love any plot with princes or princesses and the story of the fabled Avalonia drew me in from the very first book of the series. I agree with the other reviews that the very first half of the book dragged. Normally, I read through my lunch hour and have a hard time putting a book down and getting back to work. I didn't have a hard time doing that with this book until the second day. Once I was past the half-way mark, I was finally intrigued. I was worried that Ms. Alexander would disappoint me, but she did not. Read through this book and I promise the end will be worth it.

`Her highness my wife' by Victoria Alexander is fun historical novel based around 1819. Tatiana princess of Avalonia talks Lord Matthew to help her find the lost jewels of Avalonia. The princess and Lord has brief affair the prior year and now they are thrown back together to solve this mystery. Both the main characters are deep and rich with great directness in their communication. I would recommend this book and `When We Meet' by Victoria Alexander and Some Enchanted Evening by Christina Dodd.

Her Highness, My Wife is not my favorite book. It drags on and on. It took me a week and a half to finish it. It usably read a book in 2 to 3 days. I really didn't like Princess Tatiana and really couldn't see what Matt saw in her expect for lust. They really didn't have much in common. She was bitchy to him when he brought up any of her past bad behavior or her lies. I would have like to slap her. Matt took her back rather quick after she treated him badly. As for the mystery and plot twists I like a good mystery and plot twists in my books romance or other wise but I need more romance than this book gave. I need to believe the hero and heroine belong together to enjoy a book. The hero is wonderful but that wasn't enough to hold this book together.
Try When We Meet Again by Victoria Alexander it a much better written book.

While in Paris Lord Matthew "Matt" Weston met and married the woman of his dreams. Yet only a few hours later she left him, leaving behind a letter that she would deal with the legalities. He had not known her REAL name or title. He only knew how much he loved her. After fifteen months, she walked back into his life.
She was Princess Tatianna Marguerite Nadia Pruzinsky of the Kingdom of Greater Avalonia, and she needed his help. Tat still loved Matt. However, she felt she HAD to leave him so she could finish fulfilling her royal duties. She planned to return to him someday, if he would still have her, once her duties were completed. For now, she needed him to escort her around London as his wife. As Lady Matthew she could retrace the steps of Aunt Sophia. Tat told him that she was writing the history of the royal family. It was obvious he did not believe her. As his wife, doors would be open for her to speak with those who knew Sophia, decades ago. The truth of what Tat was up to was kept secret. Tat was searching for something that she felt MUST be found before she could return to Matt forever.
*** I found this story to be complicated. Several sub-plots ran simultaneously, such as, the Princess Valentina being in England, some history of ballooning (aerostats), and some jewels. That was only a few of them. About half into the book, however, things began to come together. I, as the reader, got a clearer picture of what was REALLY going on. Romance between the two main characters seemed stilted until this point.
The second half of the book was filled with perils and romance! I could not pull myself away from it all. Everything seemed to speed up and I simply HAD to know what was going to happen in the subsequent chapter! I admit that much of the information that the very first half of the book was needed for the reader to fully understand the seriousness of the plot. Yet I feel many readers will not be able to wait so long for all the pieces to come together.
As a reviewer, I must say that I feel the very first half of this book seemed to drag. The second half was non-stop. Somehow I believe reviews will be mixed on this tale. This story you will either love or hate. No middle ground. ***
