I really enjoyed the love hate thing going on between Alexandra and Vasili. It was fun reading his story I always wondered what type of girl it would take to get him to finally settle down and Alex was perfect.

This is the sequel to [b:Once a Princess|419280|Once a Princess (Cardinia's Royal Family, #1)|Johanna Lindsey|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1268443278s/419280.jpg|408425], centering on Vasili from that story. He's a known womanizer being forced to marry a hoyden of a girl named Alex. So what do they both decide to do? Act like spoiled brats and do everything possible to make them undesirable to the other person so that they'll cry off and the arranged marriage is ended. They have a month long journey in which to accomplish this, and yet they spend most of the time being nasty to one another, leaving little time to get to know one another and fall in love. I think it is simply the fact that Alex needs to be rescued that changes their minds about one another. There really wasn't much romance between the two, and their arguing and petty games got old quickly. I'll probably keep it for nostalgia's sake, but won't re-read it often, if at all.

I had high hopes from this one….
The beginning was interesting enough to get me reading further but almost 70% of the book was the hero being his horny angry self and a violent possessive heroine. I didn’t feel the sparks or any chemistry between them throughout.
