Once upon a time . . .

in a kingdom high in the Pyrenees, three young princesses were forced to flee the chaos in their land—vanishing without a trace and lost to their people . . . until the day a courageous prince can bring the princesses home.

One of Scotland's most dangerous men, Robert MacKenzie is dazzled by the enchanting beauty who rides into the town he is sworn to defend. Though he is wary of the exquisite stranger, Clarice stirs emotions within him that Robert buried deeply years before. And now he must have her at any cost, vowing to gain her trust through the powers of his sensuous seduction.

Torn between her need to protect her secrets and her aching desire for the dark, tormented earl of Hepburn, Clarice is pulled into Robert's glamorous world . . . and into his perilous plan for justice and revenge. And with the winds of treachery swirling around them, a runaway princess must draw Robert's heart from the shadows and make him believe in happily-ever-after.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Propelled by the winning assurance, sensuality and humor that have pushed Dodd's paperback romances (Once Upon a Pillow, etc.) onto bestseller lists, this hardcover debut launches a trilogy centered on the Lost Princesses, three young women who fled their revolution-swept small country in the late 1700s and who must dodge the assassins set on their trail. Middle sister Clarice hides in plain sight, traveling from town to town, proclaiming herself a princess fallen on hard times and selling face creams made from royal recipes to village women. Honey-haired and stunning, Clarice has little trouble making sales but more difficulty fending off men. When Robert MacKenzie, Earl of Hepburn, invites her to stay at his manor, Clarice senses a seductive danger in accepting his offer, but she does so anyway. Clarice soon realizes her instincts were correct. Even as Robert ensnares her with kisses, he lures her into playing a part in an elaborate scheme of vengeance. Torn between her passion for Robert and her duty to remain a princess, Clarice must decide if her loyalty belongs to her heart or to her country. Engaging and witty, Dodd's voice shines through on every page, infusing Clarice and Robert with a genuine warmth and appeal in both the ballroom and the bedroom.

From Booklist

Dodd's hardcover debut will add new fans to the legions already enchanted by her dozens of paperbacks. When revolution threatens to overrun the tiny kingdom of Beaumontagne, high in the Pyrenees Mountains, three young princesses are sent to safety in England. The two youngest are sent off to a boarding school that unceremoniously kicks them out when the funds stop coming in. Princess Clarice, responsible for keeping her younger sister, Amy, safe, develops a cosmetics scam to earn their way in the world. Going to Scotland with a magistrate on her heels, she ends up in the household of Robert MacKenzie, Earl of Hepburn, purportedly to assist his sister in preparing for a large house party and ball in honor of a hero from the Peninsular War. Robert, knowing Clarice is a con artist but not believing she is a princess, needs her skills to help right a grievous wrong. Dodd has done a smashing job with this spicy, swashbuckling Regency-era romance, the welcome first in a planned trilogy. Diana Tixier Herald

    "Some Enchanted Evening" by Christina Dodd is a captivating romance novel that weaves together intrigue, passion, and a touch of magic. Set against the backdrop of a charming small town, the story follows the enigmatic Liana Linwood as she navigates the complexities of love and family secrets. Dodd's writing style is both lyrical and evocative, drawing readers into a world where anything seems possible. The chemistry between the characters sizzles on the page, making it impossible to put the book down. With its blend of mystery, romance, and enchantment, "Some Enchanted Evening" is a delightful read that will leave you spellbound until the very last page.

    Love Christina Dodd, I finished in one day, fast paced read, kept my interest. This is the first book in a series, about three sisters, I already read the last one first, so I had to go back, and read #1. I will definitely be reading the next one in the series. If you like princess' and prince's, romance with a little suspense you will like this story.

    This was probably the most sensual of the three books. And, as always, I read the series entirely out of order. I read the third book so long ago I scarcely remember it.

    Dodd is absolutely magic. Her writing zips along, making you flip the pages. I've read many of her romantic suspense and paranormal novels, and I oved this book as much as I did those. Very highly recommended.

    This story drags, the plotline is thin, and I just wanted it to end. There was enough meat to the story, however, to hook me into buying the two sequels. I have read other Christina Dodd novels, and I am a fan. So I know she is a much better author than any of the books in this series proves. Disappointing.
