User reviews
While the search for the elusive Lord Caliban is a riveting it is secondary to the lovers and their unending need to prove that they can hurt the other more with each round of their competition. Dare doesn't fully trust Julienne after what she did to him seven years ago. He still loves her but his jealousy is causing more problems than even he wants to admit.
Julienne wants to just develop her career and earn enough money so she can live comfortably. She is a good actress but unlike most of the female actresses of the time she isn't looking for nor does she want a protector. She has had her fill of traitorous men. Julienne is very courageous in this story. She kills the bad guy and saves the day. She has been through so much and come out stronger and maybe a little more cynical. She is so certain that she can never marry Dare. I am glad that she got her HEA.
This story some really hot love scenes. I mean what do you expect with a title like Prince of Pleasure. Ms. Jordan continues to write a wonderful story that keeps your attention. Her characters are flawed and caring and so in need of love that you cheer them on even when they are being nitwits. I am sad that Ms. Jordan left us hanging with where Grayson Caldwell went. I think it would have been a nice end to the series if he had found love and laughter as well
