Book Review: Wicked in Your Arms (Forgotten Princesses #1) by Sophie Jordan

Image
Title: Wicked in Your Arms Series: Forgotten Princesses #1 Author: Sophie Jordan Published July 26th 2011 by Avon Age: Adult One of the most notoriously eligible bachelors in Europe is finally ready to marry . . . For fiercely independent Grier Hadley, being the illegitimate daughter of one of London's most unsavory characters has only one advantage: an enormous, ill-gotten dowry. Prince Sevastian Maksimi knows where his duty lies: he must find a well-bred young lady—one with a considerable fortune to her name—wed her promptly, and get to the business of producing an heir. The last thing Grier needs is some unattainable prince curling her toes with his smoldering glances and wicked suggestions. As far as Sev is concerned, she lacks the breeding to become a princess. And yet one kiss from this arresting female is all it takes for him to realize that anyone else in his arms would be unthinkable . . . Grier Hadley has a new fortune and is looking for a hus...
