Kate Carmichael has not had an easy life. After her mother's death, her father left her in the care of a kind friend while he attempted to settle his debts, but he never returned. Now, twelve years later, Kate's guardian has passed away. And without a will promising her the Victorian house, the guardian's next of kin is ready to take possession and throw her out on the street. With only a week before she's evicted, Kate must find the will. During her search, she inadvertently frees Robin Goodfellow from the portrait he has been magically trapped in for the past two hundred years, but the spell isn't completely broken. Some mysterious force compels Robin to remain at Kate's side. And even as they agree to help each other, a different kind of magic takes hold--leaving them spellbound in love...

saw the title about a year ago and put it on my list of books to get. Well I received my
copy (autographed) last week and read it this week. I couldn't put it down. You are now on my favorite author list, now I have to
read all your other books." "I just read & enjoyed Prince of Charming...I went to
Amazon to find more of your books and was able to find several. I did not find

different than what I am used to reading, but it was very interesting. And I
might add, a well written story." "I just finished reading Prince of Charming
and I wanted to take some time to tell you how much I absolutely loved it. The
way you mixed the mortal world with the world of the Fae was outstanding.

new light was absolutely delightful. I...look forward to more ventures into the
Fae world..." "I just wanted to drop you a note and let you
know the I LOVED Prince of Charming. In fact, I loved it so much I literally
couldn't put it down. The fact that Robin appreciated Kate's body type and
saw her as beautiful makes me wish that he really existed. I can't wait to buy
the next one!!!!" "YOU DID IT AGAIN! You forced me into doing
nothing else on a Sunday afternoon, even though floors needed vacuuming, clothes
needed washing, hubby needed dinner...OH NO, I couldn't put my copy of
Prince of Charming down for one minute...it held me mesmerized, just like

office, and she loved it just as much. We're both eagerly awaiting Queen of
Hearts." "I just finished your book, Prince of
Charming. It was wonderful and I loved Kate's spunk! I love where the

Hearts. Keep writing great magical books!" "[This was] brilliant and touching and
memorable--definite keeper shelf material." "I just completed your book, Prince of

Charming, and I absolutely adored it! Kudos to you for showing that not
every romance-novel heroine has to be reed-thin! I loved the storyline and your

Hilliard miniatures! Your book was so incredibly magical, and the characters
were so alive! I can't wait to read the next one!" "I really enjoyed Prince of Charming.

Queen of Hearts." "I just read Prince of Charming and I
loved it!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for Queen of Hearts!!!!!!" "I was halfway through the last book of a series
when I flipped this one open, and I switched and read this one straight through
to the end. I look forward to the next. And I'll know better than to start it
when it's already late at night. <g>" "..enjoyed it too darned much! It kept me from a
dozen things I should have been doing instead. Very glad to see the next one's
due out in a few months. I'll be first in line!" "I just finished reading your book and loved it,
and I can hardly wait to read Queen of Hearts." "I have just finished reading your book,
Prince of Charming, and I was enchanted by Robin Goodfellow...I even found
myself falling in love with him! =) I really liked your tale and I can't wait
until your next book comes out. As a hopeful future author, I thank you for
writing such a great "faerie" tale! "I read Prince of Charming and I loved
it! I normally do not read books of "supernatural" nature but this book
fascinated me from chapter one. Thanks for the great read :)" "Prince of Charming was a great book.
Loved it." "Karen, I loved Prince of Charming and
have been recommending it to others in the Paranormal Romance Chatroom. Since I
read it, I have been getting as many books as I could find that you wrote! Just
got Grand Design last week and am looking forward to Buttercup Baby.
I am so glad that you will be writing more Jove Magicals--I love them and I am
sure yours will be wonderful." Why Did I Write This Book?In glancing through my book of Things That Never Were, I happened across an entry on Robin Goodfellow also known as Puck. While I've never been attracted to Puck, the handsome drawing of Robin included with this entry caught my eye at once and set me to thinking--an immortal who is half-human, half-Fae, endowed with magical powers and a potent sexuality. I could do something with that and I did. Before long, Robin came to life--as sexy a hero as I've ever created. So, who was right for him? As I'm tall (nearly six foot) and well-endowed <g>, I decided to pass these traits onto my heroine--Kate Carmichael--who's always felt out of sync with the thin stereotype for women today. But Robin isn't from today and Kate is just right for him. Let the fun begin!! |
