Taken by the Prince / Christina Dodd / 380 pgs. / RT Reviewer's Choice Nominee

Victoria Cardiff is a proper English governess, who tries very hard to keep her reputation as an icy cold, independent, spinster.  Unfortunately for her the dashing and dangerous Raul Saber Lawrence cannot forget about the passionate kiss he stole from her three years ago at a party thrown for his sister.  It's been three years since that night and Raul is in the middle of plotting a revolution to free the people of his home country Moricadia and instill himself as the rightful king.  When Raul runs into Victoria again this time in Moricadia, he panics, worrying that Victoria will ruin his plans since she knows the truth of his plans and his secret past.  In order to ensure her silence, Raul kidnaps Victoria and carries her away to his castle where she is kept as his prisoner. .... Annnnddd, the plot pretty much ends there.  The rest of the book is Raul trying to seduce Victoria out of her shell all the while trying not to give up his heart to her.  *coughing & gaging noises coming from the peanut gallery* 

The book is pretty sexy and has enough action with the revolution and Victoria trying to escape to keep you reading.  Romance readers will enjoy this book, the rest who are looking for more of a storyline should try Joanna Bourne's Spymaster Series.
