Princess Eliza has just escaped an assassination attempt on her entire family. She joins a group of rebels trying to bring back the greatness of Great Britain (or something like that) and hides her identity to keep her safe. Joining them means getting the opportunity to kill the guy who ordered the hit on her mother ten years back and the one that just got her father killed. The entire premise of this first book is that she thinks she's the only one that escaped, therefore, the last princess of England.

Eliza wasn't winy or bratty which I liked. She didn't always make the smartest choices but she was a bit of a know-it-all, oddly enough I gave her a pass because as princess she would totally be raised that way. It wasn't in a mean way but it just happened. Her wannabe love interest was kind of bland though. One minute they were arguing and then she started feeling things for him even though he's obviously hiding something. I would totally spoil what he is but if I had to suffer through the laughable writing so will you.

Actually, I'll give you a hint: it happens so quickly the ending was the climax/ending. I will give this book one good point, I was so satisfied with the ending it could almost be a stand alone. Meaning, I won't be reading the next one.… (plus d'informations)

This book is narrated by May, the teenage daughter of a troubled marriage. Life changes dramatically when her mother whisks May and her younger brother Eden off to California, to live for a while in a Hindu style ashram.

May awakens sexually, and her mother has to decide between commitment to the ashram or to the people she cares about.

Well written, surprisingly light weight despite thought-provoking issues. I read it in just two days and very much enjoyed it. It's apparently sequel to the author's first novel, 'By the Shore', but thankfully it didn't read like a sequel, and clearly works well as a stand-alone novel.

Recommended to anyone who enjoys light women's fiction.… (plus d'informations)
