If you enjoyed reading "Once a Princess"? You will enjoy this book too.. Both of them are hilarious.

Just a continuing saga of her books. Excellent in every way...I've read them all and would recommend to anyone!

Great Joanna Lindsey story, some of the same characters as Once Upon a Princess. As always she keeps you guessing about what will happen next.

After reading A Pritate's Love, I was afraid to pick up any of her other books. But I'm glad I did because You Belong To Me is a beautiful romance between Vasili & Alex. It was funny, romantic, tension filled and the list goes on. Its the story of one very arrogant man and one beautiful strong willed lady..a wench as he calls her. She is just the match for Vasili!!

I especially liked the part where Vasili gets frantic and jealous after she leaves him and goes to England.

Please read this book, you won't regret it!

If you have read ONCE A PRINCESS, then you're already familiar with most of the characters in this book, particularly the hero Vasili Petroff, that arrogant peacock that had women falling at his feet. Now we finally get to see his downfall.

In the kingdom of Cardinia, no man is more sought after than Count Vasili, the devilishly handsome cousin of King Stefan. Women, married and single alike, all clamor to get into his bed. Thus his arrogance is without limits. But after years of sowing his oats and avoiding marriage, he is slapped with the news of a supposed betrothal arranged by his father. Bound by honor, he is given no choice but to fetch his bride from Ukraine, Baroness Alexandra Rubliov.

Now Alexandra is also not pleased when her father breaks the news to her. Little does she know that the betrothal was fabricated by her father who has grown tired of waiting for Alexandra to get over her obsession with an Englishman she met seven years ago and whom she had since fancied herself in love with.

As they say, great minds think alike for Vasili thinks to make Alex cry off by acting like a total cad and treating her callously, while Alex swears to act unlady-like hoping to turn him off completely and cause him to break the betrothal. And so when Vasili finally fetches her and they journey back to Cardinia, what ensues is a pretty hilarious battle of wills as each try their utmost to disgust one another in fervent hope of preventing the wedding.

In this sequel, it was finally great to see Vasili meet his match in Alex, a vibrant, sharp-tongued and strong-willed twenty-five-year-old. I enjoyed her antics especially during mealtime, when she behaved like a total barbarian much to the disgust of everyone around her. Those moments provided some good laughs. I also enjoyed how she delivered the ultimate rejection by forthrightly advising Vasili the moment they met that she didn't want to marry him. I could just picture the arrogant peacock's expression!

Unfortunately, some scenes dragged a bit and I just didn't find the romance as well-developed as that in its predecessor. I felt like Vasili was more enthralled with Alex's "chest" thus finding it hard to believe that he was suddenly in love with her.

YOU BELONG TO ME is an easy enough read but lacks the spark of ONCE A PRINCESS.
