Rosemarie Barrows is a fey who fights orges and is newly
married to Lord Gareth, a vampire. They are both recovering
in the Kingdom of Myrdrean after an ogre attack. Gareth is
weak and Rosemarie is concerned because Gareth seems cold to
her. Rose is more than stressed out due to the nightmares of
blood, violence and death she has at night. The Mother, who
is the creator of the fey line, comes to Rose in these
dreams and wants her to kill Gareth. Rose is very frightened
because they seem so very real.
Rose is also trying to figure out her feelings for her old
advisor, Ambrose Minuit. Ambrose and Gareth are brothers and
can't stand one another. Even though she loves Gareth
deeply, she can't get Ambrose out of her mind. Gareth is
also jealous because he doesn't think Rose is being truthful
with him. Rose, Gareth and Ambrose travel to Rose's
grandfather at his court in order to seek protection for
Gareth and to get his approval for her marrying a vampire.
When Rose arrives, she finds herself in more danger than
ever before. Not only does she fear for her own life, but
Gareth turns his back on her and Ambrose lurks around trying
to take Rose as his own.
THE PRINCE OF FROGS is the sequel to Annaliese Evan's
NIGHT'S ROSE. I was expecting another sexy, action packed
magical tale where Rose and Gareth team up to defeat their
enemies with Ambrose by their side. I was a bit disappointed
because the majority of the time we see Rose worrying about
everything around her and her constant questioning on why
Gareth isn't the loving man she knew him to be before they
were married. The constant attempts on Rose's life also
didn't bring any shocks as I thought it would.
Annaliese Evan takes a chance and does something with the
Gareth, Rose and Ambrose relationship that may shock some
readers. I was such a fan of how Rose and Gareth fell in
love and wished Annaliese would have kept their relationship
between just the both of them. The sensuality in this book
is very toned down until the end where out of the blue it
transforms in to an erotic romance that just didn't seem to
fit the story.
THE PRINCE OF FROGS is a book with some twists and intrigue
that ends in a way that may have you scratching your head.
