Tracy Anne Warren is an award winning, best selling author of historical romance. She writes sexy stories with humorous characters. And she loves cats.
The last endears her to me.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Tracy several times - the first at the Old Fashioned Tea Party (at this link). The second - a book signing in DC. Three times is a charm when Tracy took me for lunch before I moved to Hawaii. Last year, we chatted over breakfast at RWA in NYC with Mary Gramlich, the Reading Reviewer.
Tracy is celebrating the release of THE PRINCESS AND THE PEER - the first book in The Princess Brides Trilogy:
When a royal summons from her brother arrives, Emma knows it’s time to embrace her duties as the princess of a small European kingdom, and marry the man her brother has chosen for her…a stranger she has never met. Instead she does what any self-respecting princess would do—she runs away. All she wants is one week in London. One week to experience everything life has to offer, before she is locked away in a loveless marriage forever…
Former naval captain Nick Gregory has inherited a title he never wanted. As the new Earl of Lyndhurst, he chafes against his landlocked existence—until fate brings a mysterious young beauty across his path. Believing she’s an unemployed governess, Nick offers shelter and protection to the captivating girl, never guessing her true identity.
Emma falls hard for Nick, but knowing they have no future, she flees once more—this time back to her royal responsibilities. But when she and Nick unexpectedly meet again, she learns that against all odds, he’s determined to make this princess his bride…

ReplyDeletemy favorite fairy tale : cinderela, snow white and beauty and the beast
ReplyDeleteMy favourite fairy tale has always been Cinderella but Beauty and the Beast is a close second :)
ReplyDeleteThanks on the great post! I've just discovered this book and I'm loving the premise.
ReplyDeleteI'm a secret disney princess and I love them all. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid. I think they hold a special place b/c I was an actual kid when some of them first came out and I remember seeing several in the movie theater.
My favorite is Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella. I like seeing the transformation in character and how love can happen to anyone of any class.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite fairy tales is Beauty and the Beast. The story is so touching, and always brings tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Tracy on her new release. I'd love to read "The Princess and the Peer".
I love Beauty and the Beast!

Big congrats to the new release.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale was always Cinderella
Favorite fairy tale - I soooo want to say The Last Unicorn. That's the one that sticks with me the most though Beauty and the Beast is a good one too
ReplyDeleteIt's always been Beauty and the Beast for me. True love to have seen beyond the artificial outer shell. Always glad to meet another cat lover :) and I've been hearing good things about your book.
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast for me, too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has always been Beauty and the Beast :-)
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds positively lovely!
I love Sleeping Beauty it's my absolute favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is The Little Mermaid.
ReplyDeleteMy faves have always been either Little Red Riding Hood or Rapunzel. But there are many that I love a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, and I always love a great book with a humor added to it.
My favorite fairy tale is The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Anderson. My Grandmother told me the story when I was a young girl. I can remember sitting on the floor in front of her as she sat in her rocking chair where she would sit mending clothes (she was a seamstress and I remember her old trundle sewing machine as well).
ReplyDeleteEvery visit she would tell me a different fairy tale from her own childhood by she told me the story of The Red Shoes the most often. It was a story to remind me as a young girl to always be greatful for the things I did have and not to long for what I didn't have. It thought the virtue of being humble and being kind to others.
It wasn't just a simple fairy tale it was a lesson in life.
Happy Release Day - celebrate safely!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast.

I enjoyed all of them, but I think the Princess and the Pea was my favorite. Never could get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, she runs away. Yup I think I would do that too, rather than face a fat old man leering at me.
ReplyDeleteMy fave has always been and will always be Beauty and the Beast. The whole appearances are not always what they seem is a great lesson, and often so true.
Wow It is so strange seeing my name on a book,
ReplyDeleteLove the cover It is going on my list, Congrats on the release.I have many Favorite Fairy tales I think my favorite would have to be Cinderella ( love the movie Ever after)

The Princess and the Peer sounds great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairytale is "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" (or The Worn Out Dancing Shoes). I have always liked that story and I wish it would get adapted into a movie.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would have to go with Beauty and the Beast as my favorite fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great read. My favorite since I'm a child has always been Beauty and The Beast. Such an emotional and beautiful story.

THE PRINCESS AND THE PEER sounds wonderful. Just the type of read I can sink into.
ReplyDeleteMy first response would be Cinderella, but honestly, I would need to go back and revisit some of them. It has been quite a while since I read them and my point of view could have changed in the last few *cough* years.
