About the author
Marion Lennox
795 books137 followersWriting romance sounds fascinating. Huh?
I'm a writer. I'm boring. Day after day I sit behind a word processor making up people in my head. Why do I do it? I love it. My husband, Dave, gets up in the morning, puts on a suit and heads out into the ice and cold of Ballarat's winter. (Sadly I live in one of the tiny parts of Australia that qualifies as cold.) I make myself another cup of coffee, head up to my study, choose what music I want and sit and daydream. And I get paid for doing it. Hooray!
My first attempt at writing romance, 'Dare To Love Again', a Medical Romance, was published by Harlequin Mills and Boon in 1990. It still stands today as a monument to my family's ability to survive on cheese sandwiches and spaghetti.
Since then I've written over 80 Romances for Harlequin Mills and Boon, with more on the drawing board. (I used a pseudonym - Trisha David - for the first few Romances but suffered with a split personality and have since reverted to being Marion Lennox all the time.) In between romances, I've co-authored a non-fiction history, (I love local history) done the odd (very odd) spot of housework and done a heap of travelling - research :-)
I come from a farming community. You can probably tell this from my books. There's not a skyscraper in sight. I'm very much a pets person. Chloe and Harry were my constant canine companions for many years as I wrote, demanding walks and air freshener at frequent intervals. Sadly I lost them, and for a while I vowed not to get another. My heart was broken and my study smelled so clean! But.. The cat and I missed them so badly we weakened and bought Mitzi. Mitzi's a black and silver mini-schnauzer who makes me and the cat laugh. Expect to find her in future stories.
If you're interested in formalities, I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree and a teaching diploma. I have a couple of kids and a huge extended family who look on me with affectionate tolerance. Marion? The crazy one who talks to people in her head... I've had nine nominations for the Rita, winning twice, and fourteen for the Australian Book of the Year. After years of thinking of my writing as a hobby I guess I finally now qualify as a `real' writer.
Thank your for taking the trouble to check out my web page. Now try my books. We might even end up having fun together. And write to me. I show my family - `See? Real people do like the things that go in in my head.'

Basically, this is not my type of romance!
To summarise, Elsa is an alpha-woman, and Stefanos is not prince material!

Harlequin Romance #4130
The hero and the young crown princess make this story. The heroine, quite frankly, I could do without. She wasn't whiny or TSTL (too stupid to live) but she was so tortured, opinionated, and frightened that for 85% of the book she was annoying! I think she literally spent half the book being frightened of one thing or another. I gave the book 3 stars because Prince Regent Stefanos couldn't have been written any better, and you love the little character of 8 year old Crown Princess Zoe. However, Mrs Elsa Murdock aka Dr Langham is a terrible heroine. Only in her marine research is she above reproach. Yes she sacraficied to raise Zoe. Great. But she's an over protective grump on an annoyingly opinionated scared woman who grates on your nerves quickly. If it wasn't for Stefanos, I'd have quit reading the book!
Marion Lennox is usually much better than this. And as a general rule, she writes royal romances really well.
Discovered this book is part of a Harlequin series: Marrying his Majesty.
She'll be a bride - by royal decree! The crowns of the Diamond Isles are about to return to their rightful heirs: three gorgeous Mediterranean princes. But their road to royal matrimony is lined with secrets, lies and forbidden love.
#1 Claimed: Secret Royal Son
#2 Betrothed: To the People's Prince
#3 Crowned: The Palace Nanny
hhhmm, started with book 3 (not realizing it was a series). Own book 1, so starting that now. Since library has those two but not the last, ordered book 2 off PBS to finish out reading the series in a most backwards fashion. lol

A really fabulous book by Marion Lennox. Amazing characters and character interaction. Really likeable and caring characters. More than just your average Harlequin. I highly recommend this one!
