The first story by itself makes it worth it.
I actually got this book at a sale at the local library for a dime. The first story really does make the entire thing worth it. I found myself wishing I could be in the heroine's shoes. It's a lovely book for those of us who want to believe in fairy tales. Who wouldn't want to be swept off her feet by a charming prince (or king in one case)?

Royal Weddings
Royal Weddings consist of King's Ransom by Diana Palmer, A Prince Of A Guy by Kathleen Korbel & Every Night At Eight by Marion Smith Collins.

I got my copy of Royal Weddings thanks to Amazon's out-of-print service.

The stories, or rather just my favourite story alone--King's Ransom, makes it well worth its price.

In King's Ransom,Brianna Scott, your ordinary girl-next-door, absolutely detests "foreign dignitary" Ahmed Bin Rashid. She threw a paper weight at him.

Unknown to Brianna, this overbearing "dignitary" is actually a King. One whom terrorists are after.

Sparks flew, Diana Palmer style, when His Royal Majesty is forced to live with Brianna for the duration till the terrorists are caught.

I absolutely adore the culture shock HRM encounters. Especially when it comes to food.

"Tell her to stop shoving oblong containers of suspicious meat wrapped in buns at me!"

"Hotdogs..."

Diana's characterisation is absolutely wonderful. One couldn't help but wish to be in Brianna's shoes...

A great story not to be missed. Enjoy,...that is, if you can get a copy!!

I find A Prince Of A Guy a bit like the story of The Prince & The Pauper. Casey Phillips from Brooklyn bears a remarkable resemblance to the kidnapped Princess Cassandra...

When Prince Eric von Lieberhaven, a real dishy kind of guy, asks Casey to stand in temporary for the real Princess,...things start to get interesting.

I enjoy the changes that Casey made whilst being a temporary princess. Casey's gleeful anticipation of the real Princess Cassandra's surprise/shock upon her return to the palace is a joy to read. It left me grinning.

In contrast, Every Night At Eight seems a bit tame. Not much of ups and downs. Selena Mastron, a sophisticated woman from an ancient family was deemed to be a suitable bride for Nicholas Sabre, King turned President.

A country in transition, they need to make both the country's democracy and their marriage work. But how to balance demanding state "careers" and a marriage ? Why, by making an appointment, of course. Every Night At Eight!!

Tune in TODAY-to this little book & the Weather Channel
I have known people, highly intelligent individuals, who keep the Weather Channel on in the background throughout their active day. They know something and Kathleen Rooney knows more about this gem on national TV. Read this book, give it as a gift to friends and acquaintances. It is a fun piece of work in a world that badly needs to get back to basics. I assure you, with Ms. Rooney's insights and humor, you will come to appreciate the different personalities and insights of those famed meteorologists.

Your Mirror Image
This book is the best reference on complete image for both personal and professional appearance that I have ever used. I have been referring to it since 1994. It covers both men's and women's best styles and colors and how to coordinate them.

Lives of the Musicians--Good Times, Bad Times, and What the
I first read lives of the musicians when I was about 7 yearsold or so. Then, I thought it was terrific. I still do. However, I amnow 12 years old, and now that I have paid more attention to it, I see several faults, but overall it is still a very good book. First of all, their choice of musicians is not the best. I would have recommended Debussy and Schubert, like the Kirkus Reviewer. Some of the composers I have hardly ever heard of, like Igor Stravinsky or Nadia Boulanger. And while Clara Schumann was a great pianist, I think they should have focused more on her husband, Robert, a prolific composer, whose works are among the very best. Also, some of the parts of the biographies are questionable. Frederic Chopin may not have actually been romantically involved with Aurore Dudevant (George Sand), but in love with the Countess Delphine Potocka. The book states that the Waltz in D-Flat, or Minute Waltz, was written for George Sand's dog, when in fact it was probably written for Potocka. However, the book was still very well written, and I enjoyed it, despite the possible mistakes. I recommend this book to anyone who likes music, classical or not. So sit back and enjoy!

I Loved This Book.....
I loved this book because it made those musicians seem like real people instead of great-all-star-super-geniuses. It is full of strange little facts about all the famous musicians like Bach,Gershwin,Beethoven and Schmann.

---Megan W.

Lives of the Musicians
This book provides interesting insight into the lives of composers. I teach music to elementary and high school students and I read this book to all of my students. They all enjoy learning the details of the composers lives. The book presents the composers in such a way that the students remember the information about the composers. The book does not provide information about what the composers' music sounds like, and that is something I also like to teach. A great book to gain kids'interest in famous composers.
