Customer Reviews

Funny and lighthearted fairy tale

I really enjoyed this story. It is my first time reading something by this author and I will definately buy more of her books. It was about a princess trying to find the right man to marry and along comes a mercenary who becomes her bodyguard. Of course he is mysterious and doesn't seem like a candidate for the princess. As the story unfolds, we see his background and even more of hers. There is intrigue, hurt, murder, plotting, etc... Everything needed to make a good story. I liked the wittiness also.

*sighs with longing*

I really should stop reading romance books..it just wants to make me fall in love but I seem to be failing to do that. I love this book by Christina Dodd...this proves that no matter how much you hate..there is still redemption and peace for those people.I truly recommend this lovely book..the story is enchanting...the two main characters are so complex that it just makes you want to peel them layer by layer...

Sexy and fun!!!

Once again, Christina Dodd kept me up late reading. I just couldn't put this book down. If you only buy one book this month, make it SOMEDAY MY PRINCE!!!

The perfect romance book.

This was a great romance book that I couldn't put down. I read it in one day. I like it when the two main characters are together for the whole book and not in separate places or parted by war or some other tragedy. It had totally likable characters and Dom was one sexy guy. The love scenes were hot, too. I'll read Christina Dodd any day and look forward to her next book.

Excellent historical romance

In May 1829, the Crown Princess of Bertinierre, Laurentia, turns twenty-five. As the heir to the throne to the small Mediterranean kingdom, Laurentia worries that she must soon marry and produce the next generation. None of the aristocracy paying tribute to her beauty fits the bill of her prince. That lonely feeling changes when Prince Dominic arrives at court. Dominic behaves like a mercenary rather than royalty. However, in light of recent acts against his throne, Kin Jerome worries about the safety of his daughter. The monarch hires Dominic to protect Laurentia. For the first time in her life, Laurentia feels she has met someone who comports himself as her equal, not a slobbering servant. Soon they fall in love. However, Dominic insists that her princely mate will someday come, but that it is not him. Laurentia has her work cut out to prove to her bodyguard that he is her Prince Charming. Anyone who has had the pleasure of reading a Christina Dodd historical romance knows they have been treated to a royal novel. The books are always excellent. The great author's newest tale, SOMEDAY MY PRINCE, is a fabulous story that never slows down for a moment. The heroine is in trouble by enemy forces who want to control this strategic country. Under fire, her bravery, level-headedness, and kindness make her a magical character who will attain much acclaim for the author. Dominic is dangerous and intrepid, but loyal to his loved ones. These two protagonists take a well-written historical romantic intrigue and add humor, depth, and warmth. This combination turns the novel into a sure award winner for Ms. Dodd.Harriet Klausner
