In the Prince's Bed (1) (The Royal Brotherhood) Mass Market Paperback – August 1, 2004

Setting - London 1813 --- Jeffries newest series "The Royal Brotherhood" stars Alexander Black, Earl of Iversley. With nothing to lose and much to gain, he introduces himself to two of his half-brothers, both being the reputed offspring of the profligate Prince of Wales. Both knew of the others existence but had never met. As the `acknowledged' heir of the late Earl of Iversley, Alexander surprised both of them claiming unbeknownst to all he too shared the same sire. While his two half brothers were acknowledged as Prinny's get, they were also well-to-do which unfortunately was not the case of Alexander. He'd inherited a title, a run down estate, Edenmore, and a mountain of debt. Alex proposed that they form an alliance, become a `family' so to speak in helping each other to get what they truly most desired. Consequently they agreed to help him find an heiress with funds that would enable him to restore Edenmore back to it's former glory as a self-sufficient income producing estate that would help support its many tenants and servants.From the moment Katherine Merivale was pointed out to Alec, he decided that she was the one. Her looks alone seemed to flaunt convention and he was definitely intrigued even though, Katherine seemed desperate to bring Sydney Lovelace, her long time childhood best friend up to scratch. Unfortunately, her efforts in this regard fell on deaf ears as Sydney ignored her most valiant efforts by using a myriad of excuses in putting off his declaration. After, eavesdropping on a private conversation Katherine had with Sydney, Alec was further convinced that she would be far better off with him than the dull poetry-spewing fop she was pursing. Convincing Katherine to trust him would be paramount before she accepted him after she experienced first-hand her parents tempestuous marriage and her father's often public affairs. She was determined to choose a reliable and steady mate no matter how much she enjoyed and was attracted to Alec. Convincing Katherine that spending time with him, would spur Sydney to make a move, Alec pulled out all the stops in a campaign of seduction to make her his wife but he soon found himself to be the one that was seduced.*** Once again Sabrina Jeffries has presented another dazzling and intriguing story. Katherine was an unusual heroine forced to live in genteel poverty knowing all the while she had a sizable inheritance. Even though Alec was rather dishonest in trying to railroad Katherine to the altar, you can't help but like him because he really cared for her. The originality of using the illegitimate offspring of Prinny as a springboard was an intriguing vehicle although I would have liked to have seen a more interplay with the two half-brothers. The sensuality-laden lovemaking was stirring, but I found the poetry reading episode between Katherine and Alex to be an episode that the reader DEFINITELY should not miss - it being both titillating and humorous at the same time. One can always depend on this author for emotional and intelligent romances and this has definitely whetted my interest for the next installment. ---Marilyn, for [...] ---

I have read the third book in the series twice now and this is my first time reading the first one. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. All of them are great stand alone reads.He is hunting a fortune and his half brother helps him find theRight woman's. When he overheard a conversation between her and the man she wishes to marry he knows he will enjoy her and the chase. While he.doesn't tell her that he needs money and leads her to believe that he is just courting her as no one knows of her inheritance. She ends up falling for him and when.she does find out she is.Very hurt. Great read. Please try it and the rest of the series. I apologize for any typos I am learning to use my kindle fire and am not used to typing on it yet lol

I read the second book of the Royal Brotherhood first. I'm quite the fan of Beauty and the Beast type tales. I write this because I knew Alex and Kit had a HEA. They were so happy in that second book. However I wanted to cheat with this book to make sure it all went right. I wanted them to be happy but I couldn't quite see it happening. All the problems coming at them fast and furious. All their emotional baggage...I think I like this book better than the second one and I very much enjoy that one.

I absolutely loved the Royal Brotherhood series, Jefferies is at her best with these men in need of love, but each hero must conquer his own hang-up about his parentage before he can find his HEA. Witty, sparkling with sensuality, Jefferies entices her readers from the very first page! If I had to choose between the three novels in the series, Draker, in To Pleasure a Prince, was my favorite hero.

One of my favorites! Love the Dragon Viscount! He's the classic grouchy, secretly-a-total-sweetheart type hero, and I'm glad the heroine was smart enough to look past the rumors and give him a chance. Just the right amount of intrigue, just enough conflict and misunderstanding, and I love these two together.This series is among my all time favorites.

I LOVED THESE BOOKS....I seriously cannot rave enough about SABRINA JEFFRIES books.The first one is as good as the second,third, fourth as many as she has written ....LOL :)Any of her book's or series is just as interesting as the first one you begin reading .
