The Trouble with Princesses
From New York Times bestselling author Tracy Anne Warren comes the conclusion of an enchanting trilogy about three princesses brought together by friendship and fate. This is Princess Ariadne’s story...
On the threshold of receiving her royal inheritance and tired of the London Marriage Mart, Ariadne has decided to defy convention and declare her independence. She will not seek a husband—she will take a lover instead, no matter how notorious she may become.
The prince of a small European kingdom, renowned bachelor Rupert Whyte, is in London to enjoy a last bit of freedom before choosing a wife. When he learns about Ariadne’s scheme to take a lover, he decides he must prevent her from embarking on such a ruinous course.
What begins as a well-deserved reprimand quickly spins out of control when Rupert agrees to give Ariadne a few lessons in lust. But just how far will their passion go? And will their forbidden liaison lead them too far astray to turn back?

I thought the first 75% of this book was sensational and then it lost steam (literally) and started a downward spiral that it never recovered from...
Ariadne and Rupert were great together - I loved them. Together they were HOT! The love scenes were steamy and well written (just remembering the picnic scene makes me need to fan myself).
Feelings were progressing and Rupert plays the hero and recuses Ariadne from an unwanted suitor and then the story starts to go south faster than geese in October !
This is were my rant starts - this might be Spoilerish - so don't read any further if you don't want to know!!!!!

I was so disappointed with the ending of this book - I was shaking my head for the final two chapters - mentally shouting "Really - are you kidding me?!?" I don't know which one was the bigger idiot Ariadne or Rupert. I mean if Emma hadn't written to him and tricked him, would these two have ended up
together - probably not! That is not how I expected the book to end.
And I do mean end - no epilogue (automatic loss of 1/2 star!) I wanted to see these two happily ever after. Through this book I got to see Emma and Nick and their growing family, I got to see Mercedes and Duncan and their growing family I even got to see Sigrid had children - but Ariadne and Rupert - NOTHING! We don't even get to see them get married!!
I didn't hate the book, but I think it could have ending better and an epilogue would have gone a long way to making the ending more acceptable. Of the three books, I would have to say this was my least favorite. Tracy Anne Warren is a gifted writer and I will read any historical romance she publishes - in fact I am looking forward to the Bedding Proposal that was previewed at the end of this book.

Fun book. Ariadne would like to have a husband and family, but she won't settle for just anyone. She wants a man she can love, just like her two best friends have found. Since she hasn't been lucky enough to find him, she decides it's time to do her own pursuing. But instead of a husband, she's going to look for a lover, and not worry about her reputation. The only thing stopping her is the interference she's getting from her best friend's brother, Prince Rupert.
Rupert is prince of a small kingdom and he's getting pressure to marry someone appropriate. He's come to London to visit his sister Emma (The Princess and the Peer), and enjoy some freedom before he chooses a wife. He's always considered Ariadne to be the wild one of his sister and friends and he's horrified by the scandal that would ruin her, and could also affect his sister. He's determined to stop her from doing such a reckless thing.
There have been sparks between Rupert and Ariadne since the first book, though they have been expressed in antagonism up until now. Ariadne is headstrong and independent and determined to follow the course she has set. She is also a bit naive, and believes that she can handle whatever her actions throw her way. When Rupert comes across her kissing a man, he breaks them up and lectures Ariadne about what could happen. When she refuses to listen, he demonstrates by capturing her and then kissing her senseless. He doesn't expect the kiss to affect him, but it does. Still thinking about the kiss a few days later, he offers to teach Ariadne what she wants to know, keeping things discrete between them and thereby protecting her reputation. He intends to show her the passion she wants, but retaining enough control to keep it from going too far.
I really liked the interactions between Ariadne and Rupert. He is a bit on the stuffy side and is uncomfortable with his sister's public affection for her husband. It was fun to see Ariadne tease him about that. He's also very conscious of duty and honor, so Ariadne's plans are especially bothersome to him. His sudden attraction to her is a surprise, but he feels he can use it to help her while at the same time protecting her. Ariadne is focused on her goal and doesn't see the trouble she could get into. She's been testing out possibilities by kissing various men, but hasn't been impressed by any of them. Rupert's kiss stuns her with the way it makes her feel. She's surprised by his offer to teach her what she wants to know, but can't resist him. Each "lesson" leaves her wanting more and she teases him trying to get him to give in. Rupert discovers that the control he's always had around other women isn't there when he's with Ariadne, and trying to keep to his plan is getting harder.
Their plans for a discrete liaison go out the window when Ariadne is kidnapped by a desperate suitor and Rupert rides to the rescue. Ariadne has confidence that Rupert will save her, but that doesn't stop her from making her own attempts. This puts them in the position of having to marry because of their being alone together. Ariadne is determined that she will not force him into marrying her, or be forced into a loveless marriage herself, but Rupert is adamant.
An emergency at home and pressure from outside drives a wedge between them, sending Ariadne running to their other friend. She believes it is best for him, even though it breaks her heart. Rupert has to look inside himself and his own feelings before he realizes that he can't live without her. I loved the ending and seeing them finally admit their love. The only thing that would have made it better would be an epilogue. I really would have liked to see how they are doing a year or so down the road.

The Trouble With Princesses is the third in the Princess series by Tracy Anne Warren. Now I have been a fan of Warren for quite some time, ever since I read her Byrons of Braebournne series. This series has been so much fun reading, and I adored this latest addition. It was put in the category "impossible to put down" within a couple of chapters. I was completely drawn in from the beginning, and I definitely didn't mind at all. The story begins with Ariadne telling her latest plan, to find a lover. She is tired of the tedious life she is living and needs some excitement, well she is about to get some. Then the hero steps into the game, and at first Ariadne refuses him, but when one night he kisses with a passion she never imagined, she decides what can it hurt right? So they begin in lessons in passion. This story was fun and beyond thrilling. There is a bit of intrigue placed in the plot, that will put you at the edge quite a couple times. A romance that is tender and sweet, and dazzles the reader.
The characters in this story were fun and I had no issues with them at all. The hero in this story is Rupert, and boy he was sexy as sin!! I loved his confidence, his strong personality that reeked of command, and the way he puts himself out there for Ariadne. Definitely put him in the top of the "Swoon worthy" hero category. He was delectable and breathtaking and I wouldn't mind trading places with Ariadne. Now Ariadne was a perfect match for him. She isn't a weakling, and gives in easily. She is a fighter that is for sure, especially when it comes to what she wants. She is not afraid of playing with fire, and I loved her insistance on making her own way, and doesn't care about consequences kinda attitude. She seemed to me very easy to like and I was rooting for her all the way. The side characters were fun, and we see the two previous couples from the other books in the series, involved, which only made me want to re read the books again.
Overall a brilliant romance that captures you from the first moment you begin reading! A well done job for Warren, she delivers once again. A entertaining and wild ride of a romance with endearing characters, exciting driven plot, and a story to steal your heart! INTOXICATING!!

"You and my sister have done what no one else could have. You got two proud, stubborn people to humble themselves and admit to what they could not live without-- each other."
HAH! So I picked up on Ariadne and Rupert IN EMMA'S BOOK. I HAVE SOME OTP RADAR.
So the premise is that Ariadne wants to take a lover, and her best friend Emma's older brother Rupert finds out and keeps trying to dissuade her from embarking on such a scandalous mission. Ariadne has resolved never to marry, she's quite happy being independent thank you very much. So of course she can't be dissuaded. So Rupert offers a compromise and offers to be her lover instead. HAH! Great plot twist. Now Rupert and Ariadne have always had a contentious relationship since Ariadne and Emma have been friends. So they know that the other is going to be a handful.
And what fun it was that the two of them were such a handful! The sexy stuff was sexy and fun and funny of course, because obviously Rupert is a skilled lover, but what I thought this book got really right was the dynamics between Rupert and Ariadne. Ariadne is hot headed, stubborn and a total force of a personality. Sometimes some personalities like these need a really soothing, calming partner. Not Ariadne though, she would get bored (not to say that those pairings don't work, they do, i like some of them!). Therefore what Ariadne needs is another hurricane of a personality that will match her. She wanted someone that would challenge her at every turn, and so did Rupert. They both ENJOYED challenging each other.
I was hoping very much that this would be the bickery bantery couple I have been waiting for. IT WAS. I normally feel like most books don't push that bickering hard enough, but Ariadne and Rupert BICKERED A LOT. IT WAS SO FUN. And I like how their bickering showed how well they knew each other, how comfortable they were with each other. It added a lot to their relationship that they knew each other's flaws beforeheand (which are pretty similar)--- mulishness, impulsiveness etc. before embarking on their trysts.
I wasn't too happy Tracy Anne using a kidnapping by a jilted fortune hunter to throw Rupert and Ariadne together and have her reputation "compromised" but she needed that to have the road trip back and have all the shenanigans that would propel the events of the last act of the book.
The last act was the angst arc, which is always my favorite because I love angst and I love pining and longing and people realizing the force of their feelings! And it was great. I also loved how much Emma and Nick were in this book, I loved the dynamic of them as a couple opposite Rupert and Ariadne, and how much they both wanted Rupert and Ariadne to work their shit out. The scene where Emma and Nick find out about Rupert and Ariadne's affair was amazing. Ariadne is the spitfire heroine i've been waiting for and Rupert more than her match.

Oh why did this book had to go there? where is this series go so wrong?
I heavily enjoyed the first two books in the series, mostly because after reading this one, I realized that I enjoyed how the two couples from the prior books were friends prior to becoming involved and listen to how their relationship progressed into love, yes each prior couple had lusted after each other but both Nick and Duncan respected their women far too much
This couple feels .... toxic
I don't know what it is, I just couldn't get behind this romance.
Maybe they lacked what the perviouc two had, which is genuine friendship and respect for one another prior to getting involved. These two were having sex even when they didn't really A. Know each other very well (granted they knew each other for years but never deeply) and so I felt that the sex scenes were not ... honest. I don't know what it is but I just couldn't get into it.
Then there were the characters themselves.
Rupert, in Emma's book seemed to be a boorish man who commanded everyone around him regardless of others feel. I thought this book might show us a different perspective and add depth to him. In fact, this book confirmed that Rupert is arrogant, stubborn, pig headed and just a jerk to not only Ari but to everyone around him. He would command her to do things, as if it is his right to do so. There are ways that heroes can tell heroines how they like things but his approach was just too harsh, too forceful I did not like it. a scene that stood out was how he visited her in her bedroom that first night and basically commanded her on how to wear her hair, the way he said it offended me.
Then there was the time when he practically told her that they were getting married and in his own thought process he literally said "He didn't care what she wanted, she was going to marry him" Excuse me?!!!!!
Then there is Ari, she was such a delight in the last two books but in her own book, while she did have spirit I was so saddened to see her wilt away as soon as she realized that she was in love with her. she completely lost her individuality, her backbone and her spirit. It was almost pathetic. Such a tragedy to such a spit fire of a character
And what a tragic end to, what was almost the perfect series.

Excellent book!! Really enjoyed the H/h and watching them fall in love. At first I kind of didn't like the heroine but as the story progresses her character softened and she matured in the relationship department. The hero....he was perfect!!! My favorite of the series!

Simply Irresistible! Set in 1820, Princess Ariadne has decided to take control of her own life and will not marry. Rather, she will find a lover. The trouble is finding one who meets all of her standards. Ariadne is looking for discretion, independence, and lots of passion and chemistry. Prince Rubert Whyte is the older brother of Ariadne’s best friend. When she confides in him that she will seek a lover, he objects based on the scandal it will place upon both Ariadne and his family, but truth be told, Rupert also doesn’t want anyone else to have Ariadne, even though he knows he simply cannot marry her either. Convincing himself that he is doing it for her own good, Rupert offers to be Ariadne’s lover, determined to show her passion while keeping her innocence intact. What he didn’t expect was to find her so passionate, lustful and simply irresistible. As Ariadne and Rupert push the boundaries of innocence, they find that the passion they share for each other may be too much to resist. As life events occur that make things increasingly difficult for them, Ariadne and Rupert must decide if what they have can stand the tests of time or if it was just a fleeting, passionate affair that must end for the sake of honor and duty.
An outstanding, steamy and suspenseful novel by Tracy Anne Warren—A must read for lovers of historical romance! This novel offers a well written plot with fantastic characters and enough drama and suspense to keep you guessing about the outcome. I simply adored both Ariadne’s and Rubert’s characters. Rubert’s character was suave, romantic and honorable, the type of man every woman pictures their ideal man as being! Ariadne’s impulsive and fragile nature added a counterbalance to Rubert’s carefully calculated actions. There were so many great interactions between Rubert and Ariadne, I had a very difficult time putting this book down. Even though this novel is book 3 in her Princess Brides Romance Series, it’s an excellent stand-alone read. I look forward to going back and catching up on the other two books in this series! Well worth the time spent reading this book. A very, very enjoyable read! Well done, Ms. Warren!

I was totally enchanted with “The Trouble With Princesses”. I laughed and cried … I smiled and frowned. But, most of all, I fell in love with a rake named Rupert and totally admired our heroine, Ariadne.
Ariadne is a very unconventional Princess. In fact, I honestly think she would totally have enjoyed the 1980’s, 1990’s and 2000’s way more than the Regency era that she is written in. She is determined to just take a lover and satisfy her needs. Good for her! But, her best friend Emma thinks that she is just being scandalous and cannot support her. Then Rupert, Emma’s brother, her arch nemesis finds out what she is planning and he plans to put a stop to her outrageous behavior.
Rupert cannot believe that he has agreed to help Ariadne explore her lusty side. They have never seen eye-to-eye, always arguing and he’s going to take her as a lover? Well, this should be interesting, given their pasts. He has no idea what is in store for him after he takes her to bed for the first time. What has come over him? Why can’t he stop thinking about the next time? How is he going to handle letting her go?
What neither one of them realize is that someone is out to make sure Ariadne becomes his and he’ll stop at nothing to get her. Including kidnapping.
I loved this book. It was such a wonderful turn away from the modern books, BDSM, rock-n-roll, hard bikers books that I have been reading lately. It was refreshing, fun, a little intrigue and a lot of lust. Then again, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Tracy Ann Warren … her Historical Romances have always made me smile and her writing just flows from the pages. So, if you are looking for something on the lighter side filled with love and lust, take the time a read the Princess Bride Series. You will definitely not regret it.

Ariadne is a very unconventional Princess. In fact, I honestly think she would totally have enjoyed the 1980’s, 1990’s and 2000’s way more than the Regency era that she is written in. She is determined to just take a lover and satisfy her needs. Good for her! But, her best friend Emma thinks that she is just being scandalous and cannot support her. Then Rupert, Emma’s brother, her arch nemesis finds out what she is planning and he plans to put a stop to her outrageous behavior.
Rupert cannot believe that he has agreed to help Ariadne explore her lusty side. They have never seen eye-to-eye, always arguing and he’s going to take her as a lover? Well, this should be interesting, given their pasts. He has no idea what is in store for him after he takes her to bed for the first time. What has come over him? Why can’t he stop thinking about the next time? How is he going to handle letting her go?
What neither one of them realize is that someone is out to make sure Ariadne becomes his and he’ll stop at nothing to get her. Including kidnapping.
I loved this book. It was such a wonderful turn away from the modern books, BDSM, rock-n-roll, hard bikers books that I have been reading lately. It was refreshing, fun, a little intrigue and a lot of lust. Then again, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Tracy Ann Warren … her Historical Romances have always made me smile and her writing just flows from the pages. So, if you are looking for something on the lighter side filled with love and lust, take the time a read the Princess Bride Series. You will definitely not regret it.

Ariadne was a titled princess who wanted anything but the conventional life that came with it. Marriage appeared tedious to her even though her friends seemed to have found love in their matches. Ariadne wanted the freedom that comes with being financially independent but there was something else she wanted, a love. Rupert was a Prince on the verge of becoming King and he wanted a wife not a hellion, but Ariadne for some reason was the woman he desired, so let the games begin.
While out searching for potential lovers Ariadne sampled more than a few stolen kisses and was surprised but how mundane they were until Rupert took her into his arms and showed her what pleasure is all about. She may have put up a very weak fight, but both of them knew what the next step was going to be and both were impatient to see where this relationship would land.
There are so many obstacles to true love and some terrible steps along the way can cause it to become undone. If the loves is real and the passion sincere two people will find a way to secure their future, or so Ariadne and Rupert want to believe. Others have opinions but what matters when they are lying together in the dark is the unmistakable desire to never leave that bed.
Tracy Anne Warren writes each book with care which shows in the story, characters, and romance.

So I'm in the post book haze right now... Lol. This book reminded me why I fell in love with Tracy Anne Warren's books!! Ariadne was my favorite princess from book one, I remember feeling her frustration because of her station in the first story. In her own story she takes charge of her life, she is determined to find a lover since she hasn't found anyone worth marrying. She is about to come into her inheritance and her plan is to become independent. Her plan is naive, a little foolish, but what can I say it was fun! So while she is conducting her "kissing trials" she is caught by Prince Rupert Whyte, Emma's older brother. In a moment of weakness Ariadne tells her plan to Rupert, at first he tries to talk her out of it and when she remains determined he decides that he might as well step in as her first lover.
Ariadne and Rupert's relationship was pretty rocky from the beginning, they have never really gotten along but that was probably the sexual tension. However, after they start their affair they have to keep it a secret and that is more work with Emma and Nick always being close. I just really liked that relationship progressed really fast in the beginning but the resolution took time.

Sériu o troch princeznách završuje príbeh Ariadne, ktorá tiež našla lásku svojho života. Kým Emmeline (z príbehu Princezná a gróf) si nažíva v šťastnom manželstve a má dve deti, Mercedes (z knihy Princezná a horal) žije so svojou láskou v Škótsku a teší sa na príchod tretieho potomka, ich najlepšia kamarátka Ariadne je stále slobodná. A veru ani nemá v pláne sa vydávať. Čoskoro dosiahne 25 rokov, získa tak možnosť nakladať s celým dedičstvom už neexistujúceho kráľovstva. No je zvedavá, túži po vášni, po rozkoši, a preto sa rozhodne nájsť si milenca.
Na plesoch sa nechá pobozkať raz od jedného, raz od druhého nápadníka. Práve bozk je tým ohnivkom, ktoré ju privedie k správnemu mužovi. Ariadne si neuvedomuje, aké riziko podstupuje zakaždým, keď sa s mužom, hoci džentlmenom, ocitá sama. Až kým ju nepristihne Rupert, brat jej najlepšej priateľky Emmy a jej odveký nepriateľ číslo jeden, a názorne jej neukáže, čo všetko jej hrozí, ak s týmto neuváženým správaním sa neprestane.

Oh, falling in love with your BFF's older brother, sweet!!! My favorite type of forbidden love stories. The hero was an awesome regal, dont-mess-with-me, gruff type prince (my favorite). The heroine was also royal, a princess in fact, and she unfortunately acted like one. There were times that she was fun but other times her stubbornness went too far. A few times it borderlined bitchy-bitch and the hero's response would be to "almost crack a smile". Those moments made me question exactly why the hero was attracted to her. Now that I think about it, I think they were a great couple in the bedroom, but irritating outside the bedroom. If only you could take Mercedes from book #2 and match her together with this Prince Rupert, now that would be an awesome couple!

First two-thirds of the book were great, one of the better written romances I've read recently. Then it petered out, as if the author didn't know how to finish the story. I finished the book feeling as if there should have been another 100 pages with some dramatic plot twists.

Marvellous! I loved this third book in the trilogy as much as book 2.
Loved all the characters. Excellent read, super author!

From the time we first met Ariadne and Rupert in The Princess and the Peer, I knew they were destined for each other. I mean, two people cannot so studiously, and apparently, dislike each other for no visible reason. Rupert is a Crown Prince so of course he is going to be arrogant and overbearing, though really, no more so than the other two heroes in this series. It goes with the era. Now Ariadne . . . Yes, she is a Princess - of a county that no longer existed. She is also a very 'modern' and independent thinking young woman, a rarity of the era. But, none of those things truly explain the animosity displayed between these two fascinating characters. This story finally brings them together in a most unique way. This was by no means the sweet romance of the first two books. This one was quite hot and heavy. Autocratic. Breathless. The sparks did fly. "Be careful what you wish for," comes to mind. Not to mention, "Never say never." A rollicking "he chased her until she caught him." An altogether fun story.
In case you may get the impress this is all squabbling and heavy breathing, there is a moment of suspense. Of course that too, ended in heavy breathing. There was even a point where I cried, but then there was a nice sigh. I do think this may have been my favorite of the three.
I do have to say, that in spite of this series having a common theme, (the three Princesses) and I did notice some other things in common, (the breathy "open for me") each story was different. Each had its own challenges to overcome on the way to happy-ever-after. Especially appreciated for those of us who may be marathoning the series. Nicely done.

This was the last book in The Princess Bride series. And I was looking forward to reading Ariadne's story. She is the most headstrong, and confident of the three friends. She's clever and quick-witted.
I was, however, disappointed to find that in her story, she's become naive. All that cleverness didn't leave room for common sense, unfortunately.
Rupert is a future King, and as such, orders people around and gets his way...always.
And so, this turned into a "My body betrayed me" trope. Which, if you know me...I despise above almost any other trope. It started off well enough until Ariadne decided to put her slipper-clad foot down. Rupert simply refuses to understand that no, means no, and she immediately folds like soggy tissue.
Gross.
it is rather unfortunate because the first 2/3rds of the book was quite fun. But then Rupert lies by omission to trap Ariadne into marriage. She refuses, many times, but Rupert carries on like she's a silly little woman with silly little brains, who doesn't understand what's good for her....
Disgusting. I was angry.
I don't rate it lower because it was very well written, and as I said before, was quite fun for the most part. Didn't much care for the ending, it was pretty rushed and Rupert didn't grovel half as much as I thought he needed to.

I've given this a B+ at AAR, so that's 4.5 stars
This is the third and final book in Ms Warren’s Princess Brides trilogy, and the story focuses on Princess Ariadne of Nordenbourg, who has decided that she will tread a less conventional path than her friends Mercedes and Emmaline, the heroines of the previous two books.
The Trouble with Princesses is one of those books that is quite difficult to review, because there’s nothing really wrong with it! It’s well written, the two protagonists are strongly characterized, the romance is well developed and the love scenes are steamy. It’s also a story in which the two lovers begin as antagonists, and I always enjoy a romance with plenty of verbal sparring and snark.
There is very little to criticize and I enjoyed the book. But it didn’t blow me away, which is why it doesn’t quite fall into DIK territory.
Ariadne is intelligent and unconventional – if somewhat naïve. She will very soon reach her twenty-fifth birthday and receive her inheritance, which will enable her to live comfortably and independently. She therefore has no need of a husband. But not wanting a husband doesn’t mean she wants to forego the good stuff and spend her life as a virginal spinster, so she has decided that she will take a lover instead of a spouse. Her financial independence will mean she does not have to care about the opinion of society, or play by its rules, so she is looking about her for likely prospects.
Her friend Emmaline (Emma – heroine of the previous book) who is now a happily married mother of two, is aghast at the idea that Ariadne could think of doing something so improper, but is unable to talk her out of the plan. Ariadne meanwhile is sizing up the local talent, even going so far as to allow some of them to kiss her by way of an ‘audition’ – and she is confident that her selection process is going well.
That is, until Emma’s brother, Rupert Whyte (who is also Prince Regent of the small European kingdom of Rosewald) puts a very determined spoke in Ariadne’s wheel by starting to show up at every social event or every outing she attends. I haven’t read the previous two books in this series (and I don’t think that’s necessary in order to enjoy this one), but I gather that Rupert and Ariadne were not well disposed towards each other previously – which is invariably a sign of eventual couple-dom ;) That antagonism continues here: Ariadne is naturally resentful of Rupert’s interference and makes no bones about telling him so, but he is adamant about thwarting her plans. He believes that Ariadne’s taking a lover will not only bring disgrace upon her own head, but will probably taint Emma, her family and anyone else to whom Ariadne is close. Ariadne believes she is being very discreet about her intentions, but Rupert insists that she’s heading for disaster. Her reputation will be at risk no matter which man she chooses, as no man could possibly have her best interests completely at heart.
Rupert may seem rather overbearing and a bit pompous, but he’s not stupid. He quickly realises that no matter what he says or does, Ariadne is not going to be diverted from her course of action, so he does what any concerned friend would do.
He offers her his services.
Ariadne is stunned, not having seen Rupert in “that way” before – or rather, not having admitted to it. But once she does admit it and allows herself to see that the man is sex on legs – and also admits to herself that his concerns for her reputation and safety have merit – she accepts, and they embark on a discreet and very passionate affair. Rupert’s intention is to give Ariadne all the pleasure she wants while leaving her ‘innocence’ intact, despite her insistence that she doesn’t give a fig for her reputation.
I really enjoyed the way their relationship progressed from antagonism to genuine friendship and then to more. Ariadne realised that Rupert was an honourable and considerate man whom she could trust and rely on at every turn, while Rupert came to see that there was a lot more to Ariadne than sharp-tongued stubbornness. Most of the story is devoted to the development of the romance between the couple, which moves at a very satisfactory pace with plenty of steamy interludes along the way. There is only one point of what one might term melodrama in the novel, when a former suitor takes drastic measures to try to force Ariadne into marriage, and the consequences following her escape and rescue.
The main points of conflict in the novel derive from the uncertainty on the parts of both Rupert and Ariadne as to where their relationship is going; not having really liked each other very much before, they are both surprised to find themselves so passionately compatible that they are forever thinking about each other and anticipating their next encounter. Matters are complicated further by the duties and responsibilities borne by Rupert as a regent and then as a king, and it’s in this final section of the book that I felt things went slightly awry. Rupert is very much an alpha-male – authoritative and confident – but I felt that he gave up on Ariadne too easily. In fact, had it not been for the well-meaning interference of his sister and her friend, it seemed as though he would have simply accepted her decision and never attempted to see her again. It’s true that there were extenuating circumstances, but it nonetheless seemed rather out of character for him to have acted the way he did.
Apart from that minor niggle however, I thought this was a terrific, sexy and romantic read. Rupert and Ariadne are engaging and attractive characters whose verbal sparring is laced with humour and a delicious underlying sensuality. I have no hesitation in recommending The Trouble with Princesses to anyone looking for an uncomplicated, well-written and steamy romance.

Ariadne is a princess from a small country enjoying a season in London. She knows that she does not want to follow the traditional path of marriage because she will only marry for love and she knows that a woman in her position would never have that opportunity. She comes up with a plan to enjoy the bedroom without the wedding but fellow royal, Rupert, does what he can to dissuade her from her plan. Ariadne is determined so Rupert decides that he will be the one who will keep her safe and instruct her in passion. Will they be able to keep their feelings out of the bedroom or will this future king find his queen in the least expected place? Sweet story, I enjoyed the banter between the two. I really appreciate how strong and yet how fragile Ariadne was. Fun read!

I really liked this couple. Rupert is Prince Regent; he's a passionate man with a strong sense of duty. Ariadne is a Princess. She's an orphan; her family was murdered during the siege and dissolution of her kingdom.
This is the third book in a series of princess school mates. We meet Rupert in the first book about Ari's best friend, Princess Emaline, Rupert's younger sister. They definitely don't appreciate each other. He's stern and proper. She's brazen and passionate.
In this book, Ari and Rupert find something they can agree upon. . . passion ! It's steamy, explicit, and is leading nowhere. Or is it? That's the story. Tracy Anne Warren is a writer that can be funny and poignant. It seems she can squeeze a squirm and a tear out of me. I loved this book.

This is the best of the series, in my opinion. The tension is perfect, reasonable and doesn't feel contrived. I do suggest reading the series in order because it does help explain the hero's behavior. It also helps introduce the other characters. A plus is that it isn't a huge re-hash of the previous novels. It pays attention to the actual characters.
The only complaint is that it repeats the character's doubts too often as do her other novels. I also appreciated how she made the love scenes better, and adding some variety. She does use the word "shatter" far too often. It's boring after awhile. I do hope she comes up with a better word soon.

Great ending to this series. This was Rupert and Ariadne's story. They hated each other to begin with and then learned to love each other.

I am pretty sure I already read this once, but it is such a fun story that I am okay with a second read!

This was ok. I think I've read too many like it that I expected something unexpected and it didn't satisfy that.

I liked rupert and ariadne's story. I wish there was a baby growing when he came back and got her from scottland. Is this the end of the trilogy? No!!! So sad. :(

This started off better than the first two in this series and then rambled off into nonsense. Oh well.
