The Cowboy and the Princess Audiobook

" another fantastic book by Lori Wilde "

" I enjoyed the story as a fairy tale that it was. Roaming horse whisperer meets and falls in love with Princess running away from her life of responsibilty. It was contrived, sweet, the characters likeable but just not a knock your socks off kind of book. "

" Most romance novels cannot be accused of excessive realism, and Lori Wilde's The Cowboy and the Princess is no exception; as a matter of fact is is more unrealistic than most. He is a loner, but a man with lots of friends who love him. He doesn't want to settle down and doesn't think he is worthy of being loved. However, he has a way with horses. She's a princess from some small European country. She is supposed to marry the prince of another small European country in six weeks. It is a political match, not a love one, and she wants just one chance to be "normal" before her wedding. Her chance comes when the daughter of the ex-President of the US gets married. She goes to the compound to attend the wedding, and, with the help of the President's daughter, slips away from her bodyguards. She is on the highway hitchhiking when he picks her up. He takes her to a small town in Texas and she settles in for six weeks, taking a job in the store of a friend of his--oh, and he and she decide to have a fling. Each tells the other that s/he doesn't want anything more than a short fling, but along the way.... In the end they get their happily ever after but the ending is even more far-fetched than the beginning. Despite the far-fetched beginning and ending the middle is a really good story with strong characters. Anne has spent her whole life wanting to do what other kids do--get dirty, go to carnivals, eat concession stand food, but she was a princess and had to act like one, all the time. It must have been fun for Brady to see the wonder in her eyes as she experience all these new things in Texas. He was obviously curious about where she came from but he gave her the space she needed. It takes them a while, but eventually they are intimate before marriage, and while this is not the most explicit book I've ever read, I'd by no means put it in the "clean" romance category. I'd like to thank the publisher for making a review copy available via Edelweiss. I was not obligated to write a positive review. Grade: B "

" I thought that this was a very fun, flirty read. Annie was such a cute character and I loved getting to see her experience so many things for the first time. Brady was just right for her and helped her ease into a more normal life, even though he didn't know he was doing that at the time. I also liked that Joe and Mariah were also back in this book. "

" Second in the Jubilee, Texas series, The Cowboy and the Princess is a story I could relate to. The princess didn't feel like she belonged until she landed in Jubilee, Texas and welcomed with open arms. The characters are there to support, protect and aid each other in time of need. Well-written and beautiful description of cowboy country. "

" As much as I enjoyed the jubilee universe, I absolutely was annoyed out of my mind by Annie in this book and figured out the plot about 10 pages in. I liked Brady and the rest of jubilee enough to keep reading and have it save the book, but the stilted way Annie was written drove me crazy. I know it was supposed to be purposeful because she was a princess and out of place but it just missed the mark and came off annoying. "

" This was not in the typical book category for me but it was good. It did have a little mystery to it which I liked and of course the romance was good. But like I said not my typical book. "

" 2/2.5 stars: For me, this wasn't as engaging as the first book in the series. But that happens. "

" I really enjoyed this book. My only complaint is that the conflict is resolved in essentially one chapter. Other than that I found this book an entertaining diversion. "

" This is one of my most favorite Lori books. I loved the characters and the unique plot. "

" first book of Lori's I've read and I enjoyed it and will be on the look out for more of her books. "

" Cute storyline and great quick read. Loved it and recommend "

" started slow, but i ended up really enjoying this one, just a cute simple love story. Brady was a great hero, the princess on the run plot device was silly and convenient at times, still it was a fun read. "

" Cute, silly, forgettable. "

" This book was really slow to move. I finished it, but felt link skipping to the end. "
