Lady Regina Tremaine travels to Castlemaine, the lair of the Dragon
Viscount, in order to get Marcus North, Viscount Draker to allow her
brother to court his sister. Marcus despises society but loves his
sister and has allowed her a season. However, he refuses to allow her
around Regina's brother, one of Prinny's friends. Marcus fears Prinny's
machinations with good reason, for he is Prinny's illegitimate son and
has witnessed him in action. Lady Regina makes a deal with Marcus, that
he can pretend to court her and keep an eye on their siblings.
I always enjoy a a good beauty and the beast story, and To Pleasure A Prince doesn't let me down. The characters are interesting and well-developed and the regency flavor shines through. Marcus is scarred both inside and out and has become something of a recluse. It takes Lady Regina to push him out of his shell. Unfortunately, Lady Regina, also, has her own internal turmoil, for she thinks her brain is damaged because of an inability to learn to read. Because of this, she has decided never to marry and risk passing the trait to her children. Marcus and Regina have to overcome much to be together. All in all, To Pleasure A Prince is a very entertaining regency romance; I highly recommend it.
