Rosemarie Barrows is a fey who fights orges and is newly married to Lord Gareth, a vampire. They are both recovering in the Kingdom of Myrdrean after an ogre attack. Gareth is weak and Rosemarie is concerned because Gareth seems cold to her. Rose is more than stressed out due to the nightmares of blood, violence and death she has at night. The Mother, who is the creator of the fey line, comes to Rose in these dreams and wants her to kill Gareth. Rose is very frightened because they seem so very real.

Rose is also trying to figure out her feelings for her old advisor, Ambrose Minuit. Ambrose and Gareth are brothers and can't stand one another. Even though she loves Gareth deeply, she can't get Ambrose out of her mind. Gareth is also jealous because he doesn't think Rose is being truthful with him. Rose, Gareth and Ambrose travel to Rose's grandfather at his court in order to seek protection for Gareth and to get his approval for her marrying a vampire. When Rose arrives, she finds herself in more danger than ever before. Not only does she fear for her own life, but Gareth turns his back on her and Ambrose lurks around trying to take Rose as his own.

THE PRINCE OF FROGS is the sequel to Annaliese Evan's NIGHT'S ROSE. I was expecting another sexy, action packed magical tale where Rose and Gareth team up to defeat their enemies with Ambrose by their side. I was a bit disappointed because the majority of the time we see Rose worrying about everything around her and her constant questioning on why Gareth isn't the loving man she knew him to be before they were married. The constant attempts on Rose's life also didn't bring any shocks as I thought it would.

Annaliese Evan takes a chance and does something with the Gareth, Rose and Ambrose relationship that may shock some readers. I was such a fan of how Rose and Gareth fell in love and wished Annaliese would have kept their relationship between just the both of them. The sensuality in this book is very toned down until the end where out of the blue it transforms in to an erotic romance that just didn't seem to fit the story.

THE PRINCE OF FROGS is a book with some twists and intrigue that ends in a way that may have you scratching your head.

Book Summary

Sometimes appearances can be deceiving…

Rosemarie Barrows has successfully defeated an ogre uprising that threatened the lives of humans and supernaturals alike. Now she’s trying to forget her lingering attraction to her handsome Fey advisor, Ambrose Minuit, and settle in to life with her new husband, Gareth, Lord Shenley. Unfortunately, Gareth’s suspicious behavior is driving a wedge between the newlyweds.

Gareth Barrows is hiding an old secret, a problem he thought he’d already resolved--and would never have to reveal. But his past has come back to haunt him, placing his future, his marriage, and his very life at risk.

Bloodlines. Ancestry. Heritage. Nothing is as it seems for Rose or Gareth, and as they struggle to unravel the truth, an unseen enemy lurks in the shadows, ready to silence them…forever.
