Narration To 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 Taylor, the wide-open spaces of Montana sounded like paradise....Mention Books Conducive To Prince Charming

Let me start by saying: New favorite! Stuffy Regency meets Western/Mountain Man Romance!There were some annoyances mind you. This biggest was the ending. Super abrupt, no epilogue and lots of unanswered questions. Its not a cliffhanger by any means but if you enjoyed the supporting characters as much as I did you wanted more answers surrounding their issues.A minor annoyance was the hero and heroine would have taken a axe to the head before theyd talk to each other about freaking anything. SomeTaylor'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.
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.

Very cute. I like how the main lady character has always dreamed of the 'wild west' and then finds it's not all fanatically charming as she thought it would be (but she still likes it). I love how the main guy, Lucas, is actually very vulnerable emotionally and doesn't think he is loveable due to his childhood. But he still comes off as tough enough that you respect him. Just a cute book but I'll read it again sometime when I'm in a lull.
Lady Taylor is about to lose her grandmother but before her grandmother passes away they make a deal with Lucas Ross. Taylor marries Ross so that he can protect her from her Uncle Malcolm. Malcolm wants the entire inheritance as well as control over Taylor. Taylor's sister has moved to the states with her husband and twin daughters. Unfortunately Taylor's sister and husband pass away and the twins need Taylor's protection and guardianship. This starts a series of incidents where Lucas is drawn
