Prince of Lies
"I'm going to stick close to you...closer than a lover, but I'm not going to touch you... "He called himself Duke and, like a prince on a charger, he'd rescued Stephanie from a nightmare kidnap situation.
Stephanie suspected it would be foolish to trust him when, it seemed, his tender passion could change without warning to uncompromising ruthlessness.
In effect, she was still a hostage...to Duke's smoldering sexuality--to her own desire. And she couldn't help wondering what the price of her freedom would be!

About the author
Robyn Donald
448 books149 followersRobyn Elaine Donald was born on 14 August 1940 in Northland, New Zealand. She was the oldest child in her family, and as a child, she thrilled her four sisters and one brother with bloodcurdling adventure tales, usually very like the latest book she'd borrowed from the library.
Robyn owes her writing career to two illnesses. The first was a younger sister's flu. She was living with her husband and Robyn and spent most of that winter acquiring, suffering, and recovering from various infections. One day she croaked that she had read everything on Robyn's bookshelves, so would Robyn please buy her something cheerful and sustaining. Robyn found three paperbacks- one Mills and Boon Modern Romance novel and a couple of other romances. Robyn read them, too, of course, and so enjoyed them she spent the next couple of years hunting down more Mills and Boon books. This was much more difficult then than it is today, so she decided to write her own, and for the following busy 10 years she wrote and hoped that one day she would finish a manuscript good enough that was good enough to send to a publisher.
The second illness was her husband's, and it was bad a heart attack. He was so young it terrified them all. While he was recovering, he suggested that Robyn finish the manuscript she was writing and send it off. It wasn't a perfect manuscript, but the doctor had said to humour her husband, so she finished the manuscript, edited it as best she could, and sent it off. Three months later, she was astounded to read a letter from the editor saying that if She made a few revisions they would buy her novel Bride at Whangatapu.
Published since 1977, Robyn sees her readers as intelligent women who insist on accurate backgrounds, so she spends time researching as well as writing.Robyn Donald sometimes thinks that writing is much like gardening. It's a similar process creating landscapes for the mind and emotions from the seeds of ideas and dreams and images. Both activities can also lead to moments of extreme delight, moments of total despair, and backache.Now Robyn lives in the Bay Islands. She continues writing, and also finds time for a very supportive husband, two adult children and their partners, a granddaughter and her mother, not to mention the member of the family that keeps her fit - a loud, cheerful, and ruthlessly determined "almost" Labradordog.

Re Prince of Lies - Robyn Donald does suspense in this whacktastic addition to both the Dangerous Liasons series and also RD's very own Chapman/Jerrard series.
The book starts off with a predator on the hunt kinda man walking up to a facsimile of a Victorian Crypt in Switzerland and using a set of keys to open it's new shiny lock. He then makes his way through the dark and dank interior until he comes to a coffin-like box.
The h is in that box naked and in shackles.
She is the little sister of Saul Jerrard, one of the biggest billionaires in the world and she was stolen off the street after an accident forced her friends to return to England three days before. Her name is Stephanie but for the purposes of this story, Duke (the mysterious predator like man,) will call her Princess.
So Duke rescues Princess, fortunately having all four sets of keys required to set her free. Princess is naked and has obvious bruising in strategic areas, but she denies being raped - her kidnappers did not have time.
Duke puts Princess in the boot of his car and drives around for a while, then he leads her to a rented faux castle and Princess does her best to simultaneously avoid a breakdown from being locked in a coffin with limited movement for three days and fight the Treacherous Body Syndrome that creeps up whenever Duke gazes at her with his crystalline eyes.
Princess is only 18 and Duke is 25, but it is clear that there is vast oceans of experience separating them and Duke implies that Princess is nothing but a spoiled rich witch. It is not true, Princess is young and sheltered, but she has a lot of common sense and Duke seems to be having some TBS of his own to deal with, especially when he demands they sleep in the same bed for security reasons.
(That doesn't stop him from making tarty harlot comments when Princess innocently cuddles up to him in sleep and wakes up sprawled on top of him and parts of Duke are awake too.)
As the days go by and Princess starts to fall in love with Duke, she can't help noticing that certain things aren't adding up. After several days in the castle, Princess is stuck in a locked storage room when a man comes to investigate the occupants of the castle. (Well, at least Duke says he was a wandering shepherd worried about squatters.)
But Princess gets a good gander out the window and realizes she is only a few hundred yards from where she was imprisoned. Princess gets even more suspicious when Duke declares the castle has been bugged and they have to move to another safe house.
Princess is stuck in the boot of the Duke's car for the transport to the safe house and the fumes make her nauseated. Which turns out to be good thing later, because Duke tries to drug her juice and Princess throws it up instead.
Princess also hears voices downstairs and when she creeps close to eavesdrop, she realizes that because her brother's men are close by and ready to rescue her, Duke is calmly agreeing to kill her on the order of one of her kidnappers - she recognized the voice and also got a look at him when she was fighting them off when they originally took her.
This is very bad news for Princess and kinda heartbreaking too, cause Princess was thinking Duke was a genuine Prince Charming and now she knows he is really just the Prince of Lies. Princess isn't feeling so great either, the drug residue has made her ill and headachey and Princess doesn't believe that a partially re-read bodice ripper romance is going to be much of a weapon.
Still, Princess has some mettle and she knows one surefire way to get the drop on the Prince of Lies. She is going to have to make that Treacherous Body Syndrome work for her. (So that bodice ripper was helpful after all.) After grabbing her toothbrush as a sort of stabby weapon and faking kitten-like cuddly sleepiness, she throws her whole body into making Duke her boytoy.
When Duke's Treacherous Body Syndrome overwhelms his Manly Distant Mojo, Princess strikes. She knees him in the dangly bits, grabs the keys where she dropped them in the midst of her Mojo Moves and runs out the door.
Duke isn't incapacitated for too long and soon he is shooting his gun and narrowly missing our Princess. One of her brother's men is down, but Saul shows up right behind him and Princess is saved.
We then take a huge five year jump. Princess is now 23 and running her own life. She went to uni and got a business degree, but she is taking a little time out to stay on Fala'isi while her half sister, who became Saul's wife in the preceding book, is pregnant with their third child.
Princess gets a letter from some New Zealand Rosarian named Adam, he claims he propagated a rose that matches her hair color and has an awesome perfume and he wants to name it after Princess.
Princess kinda likes the idear of her very own personally named rose. She has never gotten over her love for Duke, it has ruined her only attempt at a relationship when she had to break her engagement cause the Treacherous Body Syndrome refused to activate at will. So Princess believes that this rose named after her may be her only brush with true romance.
Princess turns out to be right, cause even tho Duke is really the rose guy named Adam, he is still really bad on the romantic wooing angle.
Princess shows up at his place in NZ, after paying a courtesy call on Mike and Guy from Island Enchantment,(they are having a baby too BTW,) only to be told that Adam has to reschedule the meeting.
Adam or Duke in disguise, doesn't want to meet his Princess with her bodyguard around. So he waylays her at her hotel and explains that he is really a former super seekrit SAS guy trying to stop the sale of nuclear weapons to very bad people and she was the target the nuclear weapon buying guys wanted to use to get the 20 million dollars needed to buy them.
He faked shooting at her, cause his aim was better than that and he deliberately missed, he also only knocked her brother's security guy unconscious instead of killing him.
He is out of the super seekrit SAS agent undercover life now and he took over the rose growing business from his dad. Princess is still pretty sharp tho, she makes her own security chief verify what he can and Duke totally checks out.
Princess agrees to have the rose named after her and then she and Duke finally get their big Purple Passion Mojo moment. They are interrupted the next morning by Saul's urgent call that Princess's very pregger sister is in hospital on Fala'isi.
Duke knows a guy with a Lear Jet, so off to Fala'isi we go and Saul and Duke have an off page showdown, cause RD's Official Alpha Male Policy is there isn't room for two of them in one book for more than a paragraph or two.
Princess's sister is going to be okay and Saul has himself a major gray hair moment before collapsing to his knees in relief and Princess decides to take Duke home. Duke waits until Princess has a nap and kinda sorts things out with Saul.
After Princess almost karate chops Duke's neck on the way to the beach, after he snuck up on her, Duke declares his true love for his Princess forever more. But Princess has to put her money in trust or something, cause he doesn't want it.
Princess has been pining over Duke for five years, so dumping a boatload of cash is a no brainer and the two of them are ready to sail off into the sunset of a truthfully honest HEA.
The first part of this book is excellent and I was okay with the five year jump because it was clear that at 18 the h had a lot of common sense and no life skills. She needed the seasoning to be able to handle the very worldly and world-weary H and handle him she does.
It needed more romance at the end tho, cause the H wasn't extraordinarily nice the first time around and he wasn't much better the second. I thought the h deserved a courtship at least, but I guess RD thought getting a rose named after her was enough.
(Well maybe it might have been had it won at Chelsea or something.)
Still the first five chapters and the seeming betrayal in this book were really well done, so give this one a chance if you are in the mood for a very suspenseful HPlandia outing.

The first part of the book was a pretty great, fast-paced, on-the-edge-of-your-seat, caper: A romantic suspense thriller premised on the kidnapping of a wealthy heiress and her suspicions whether her rescuer is in fact genuine or in cahoots with the baddies. Nice little psychological thriller with high-octane action and sexual tension, tres Hitchcock.
The second part of the book was abrupt and left me underwhelmed.
Ah well, you can't get everything and as far as RD's horribly jerky heroes and doormat heroines go, this was surprisingly tame. Part of a series set in the author's beloved island of Fa'laisi.

The first half, with the heroine kidnapped and the hero rescuing her, was really fun and interesting. Trying to segue the H/h into ordinary life with an HEA would always prove tricky, but RD tires her darndest:
*She allows five years to pass.
*She tries to cloak the hero in mystery. (Heroine never knew his real name, so when he names a rose after her, this is a new mystery to solve.)
*She then manufactures a crisis (heroine’s half sister is rushed to the hospital with pregnancy complications) so hero can again take care of the heroine.
The last half just isn’t as interesting/exciting because the stakes aren’t that high. Plus the hero doesn’t have much personality beyond telling the heroine to be quiet and follow his lead. Yes, it was a logical letdown to the H/h enjoying everyday life in their rose garden, but that is the ultimate feeling I felt when I finished this story: Letdown.

Stephanie is kidnapped and locked in a coffin for several days. Her white knight, Duke/Adam, comes in to save her and things don’t add up for her right away. However, she truly wants to believe that he is a good guy, but evidence begins to point the other way!
I liked this one because you really weren’t sure about Duke/Adam, and Stephanie actually used her brains! After Stephanie’s run in w/ Duke/Adam she is left to get on w/ her life – five years! I guess that is to take out the whole falling in love w/ a potential bad guy scenario? Worked, somewhat. Still could have had leftover feelings from those five years as she was so impressionable, but believed that she was stronger in the end. I enjoyed their love story, but still think it odd that Duke/Adam felt he was being threatened by the bad guys because of a recording. Given what he was really involved in, I’m sure they could have made that disappear and possibly even did something else w/ Stephanie but then hindsight is 20/20. Overall it was a nice angsty book that kept you wondering about Duke/Adam’s true allegiance, and it was aptly named as well!

Good but not exactly my favorite. Mostly because I find the Hero is not as exciting as I thought it would be, plus the plot is lacking of drama and actual romance between the characters. Could be better!

Not much. Wouldn't want to reread.

read this book while still in school and was supposed to study for the board exams. went back again to see if the magic is still there ... it was but a different sort. i like the fact that our spy is not so impenetrable or our heroine so spineless. and who wouldnt like a rose to be named after her?

Quite jumbled up.
Heroine is locked in a crypt and in chains at the beginning of the story.
The hero arrives and rescues her. He has the keys to everything.
It’s obvious to the reader and to her that he is involved with the thugs who did it.
Anyway, they both hide in some house. Naturally he has to be present every minute with her whether she is showering or whatever and sleep in the same bed.
Naturally? He’s the hero. Duh 🙄
Finally after an aggravating interval she escapes.
Five years later she meets hero again. He is now a retired SAS operative who grows roses.
He wants to name an orange rose for her hair.
Robyn Donald’s heroines usually have to have red hair. It’s a thing.
Finally they have a happy ending.
I found the Candace and Saul bits more romantic in this book.
That’s my review.
It was illogical and not fun or interesting.
With a title like that. The book deserved more.
So that’s it.

"Prince of Lies" is the story of Stephanie and Duke.
Heroine is a rich girl, kidnapped and tortured until the hero rescues her. He remains indifferent and rude, but she finds him attractive. Until she overhears his plan to kill her and escapes.
Suddenly there's a time jump, he comes back with feeble excuses, THERE'S NO BUILDUP BEFORE THE STORY ENDS. The brother and SIL had a better plot.
I call BS.
Safe??? SWE????
1.5/5

This one was tough because in some ways it was more a mystery than an HP... and a fairly good one at that!

Uhhhhh sure, alright. What was his actual job in the past and the present? Skip, it’s nuts and no romance or payoff, these characters barely know each other.

Brilliant beginning, but the remainder is a complete snooze fest.
