Princess Taoshira of the Blue Crescent Islands is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil of Gerfal. And he's not too pleased, either. She is used to a life of discipline, ritual, and splendor. He is used to hunting and carousing. They hate each other on sight. But both of their countries are under threat from a fearsome warlord, and the only chance of peace is to form an alliance.When Tashi and Ram are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape--from their kidnappers or from each other. Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing, and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their adventure--including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies, and the best female fighter they have ever seen--help them or betray them to the enemy?

Ramil met Tashi's eyes with a mischievous look. "Now Wife we have a long voyage ahead of us with no interruptions, no affairs of state to sidetrack us." He brushed his fingers againist the lacings of her neck. "Isn't it time you returned that shirt to its owner? This book surprised me on so many levels. I expected a fantasy novel that has to do with magic, or fantasy creatures. However, I wasn't disappointed to learn that this has nothing to do with my expectations. It was so much more. ThisThis was a truly precious book. So simple and easy to read, yet thoroughly entertaining. I can't believe it passed me by when it first came out. It didn't ask too much of the reader, but it really allowed the reader to understand the stages two characters go through in order to reach not only an understanding, but a true fondness that eventually evolves into love. Taoshira is a young girl who is forced into a life she never expected of herself. She went from goat-girl to a princess with highly

I read Dragonfly thinking it would be a fun read and thought the plot looked interesting and cute...but, I was disappointed. Not necessarily that the book was terrible, just disappointing because the plot would of been so cute, and could of been cute if it would of been more focused on Ramil and Tashi and not just Tashi and her whole "finding myself and what I believe in".Also, I found myself confused most of the time, it was so fast pace and jumped around so much that I barely could figure out
Fantastic!!! Brilliant!!! I'm speechless!!!Princess Taoshira of the Blue Crescent Islands is ordered to marry Prince Ramil of Gerfal. Ramil isn't happy about that too. They are too different. She is the Fourth Princess who is used to a life of discipline, ritual and splendor. Ramil is a "boor" who is used to hunting and horse riding. They hate each other on sight. But both of their countries are under threat from a fearsome warlord, and the only chance of peace is to form an alliance. There are
