Synopsis
Fancy Flambeau is the darling of the London stage, and captures the eye of every gentleman charmed by her beauty. Fancy, however, refuses to be any man's mistress, though Prince Stepan Kazanov relishes the opportunity to change her mind and show her the delights of sensual pleasure. Tempting as his whispered promises may be, Fancy vows to avoid the heartbreaking fate that befell her mother when she gave her love to a selfish aristocrat.
But Stepan's games of seduction take a serious turn when terror sweeps through London. A killer dubbed the Rose Petal Murderer is preying upon pretty young women. Desperate to keep Fancy safe, Stepan abducts her from the city, and soon the heat of anger and long-denied passion melt into ecstasy. Yet the bliss they find in each other's arms may not be enough to make Fancy forget the past--or protect them both from the dangers that come from denying a love that is meant to be...

My Thoughts
Pleasuring The Prince is the fourth in the Kasanov Series by Patricia Grasso. As I was browsing the library shelves I cam across this book, and the cover is what drew me (of course, I can't resist such a cover) and when I read the blurb I just knew I had to try this book out and see if I had just found a new author to love or to never read from again...and I definitely found a author whose writing I enjoyed reading. Even though there was definitely a major focus on the relationship between Stephen and Fancy...there was also a suspenseful note to it as well....that especially toward the end of the story I was on the edge of my seat until the very end.....although I did enjoy this read very much there were a couple of things that left me disappointed but overall a enjoyable read...
