"Wonderful romantic fantasy"
In Dallas, six foot amazon Katie James enjoys running her
firm James Real Estate in which she buys, restores, and
sells old houses. Her latest acquisition is a dilapidated
Victorian with a garden that contains seven statues
displaying both genders getting it on. To Katie's chagrin,
she is attracted to one particular carving, but on the
other hand is pleased that he is stone as she feels men are
annoying especially her older brothers. However, she feels she goes off the deep end because she
believes the statue whispers to her to kiss it. Unable to
resist, Katie locks lips with stone only to find a giant of
a flesh and blood male appear. Jorlan en Sarr explains that
he was from another world who was cursed by his sorcerer
half-brother Perlen de Locke but also magically transported
to earth for his safety by his mother. As Katie helps
Jorlan adapt to his new planet, he worries that Perlen's
curse goes deeper as the person who freed him must
willingly give her heart to him or he returns to stone
permanently. THE STONE PRINCE is a wonderful romantic fantasy that sub-
genre fans will appreciate because of the strength of the
heroine who takes no gruff from her siblings or the hunk
from another planet. Jorlan actually starts off as an
overbearing chauvinist who believes a woman's role is to
only pleasure a man; Katie persuades him that a man's role
is to pleasure a woman while also proving a female can
protect his back. Some readers may detest the use of
profanity and feel Katie needs a timeout, however, for the
most part the foul language fits this charming story line. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
