Read this review on my blog! --&gt; <a href="http://www.gonewiththewords.com/2012/05/review-the-princess-and-the-peer-by-tracy-anne-warren.html" rel="nofollow noopener">The Princess and the Peer by Tracy Anne Warren</a> I always enjoy reading about a romance that blossoms from friendship. Neither Emma or Nick start off with romantic intentions, but they were so well matched and their attraction undeniable that I was rooting for it to happen. Of course, once it does, things get complicated. I actually felt just as anguished as Emma and Nick while reading about the many ways they couldn’t be together. I longed with them! So yeah, I spent the last third of this book in a not-so-happy place alongside them. All hope is not lost though! But your heart will have to suffer a little before getting back to a happy place. I love London in the 1800s. Ok, honestly? I love London in any time period, because I want to go there some day! But Tracey Anne Warren shows us some select London places that we don’t read about much. And it really felt like I was there, walking the streets of London myself. This book is the first in a trilogy of princesses and royal weddings and forbidden romance, so we get to meet Emma’s two princess best friends, Ariadne and Mercedes. I am really looking forward to their books, especially since the next one involves a highlander. :D I also have a feeling about who Ariadne’s love interest will be, and if I’m correct, it will most definitely be an interesting read, considering their words in this one. In The Princess and the Peer, Tracey Anne Warren delivered such a moving romance. I was expecting a lot of fluff, but it had so much heart.

Lover of Romance 

Emma knows that soon it will be time for her to marry the man her brother has planned for her. She has been craving freedom and a bit of fun before she is truly shackled to a man she hasn't ever met. So she comes up with a way to run from her companion, and heads to London. Where she bumps into Nick Gregory. He shows her the true enjoyment of life, and she finds herself charmed and fascinated and only wants more of him. Then when she least expects it, she knows that she is falling in love and that is dangerous. Emma knows she has a destiny that differs from what her heart truly desires. So she leaves him, but when she is returned to her brother she comes face to face with Nick once more. Now she knows she will have to make the most difficult choice...the duty to her country and her brother...or of one to true love.
The Princess and The Peer is the first in the most recent series by Tracy Anne Warren. I have just fallen in love with every one of her books that I have been able to read. She has a unique way of making a story come so vividly alive. I really enjoyed the entertaining characters that just made you want to join in, through the laughter and the tears, there is such a endearing quality to the plot that it keeps the reader engaged until the very end. I really loved seeing how Nick and Emma start to fall in love. Nick from the start is strongly attracted to Emma, but at first treats her as a friend, and after some fun scenes, we see the first romantic spark which turns into a whirlwind of a romance that will take your breath away. A wonderfully portrayed story that will seduce you!!

My Favorite Quote 
He claimed her. There was no other word for it. His lips moved against hers with a heady power that left her reeling, turning her weak and instantly dizzy. Heat burst in wild ripples over her skin, alternating with a shivering chill that made her whole body quake.
