From Kiss to Queen

Loved the book. although Jane was a little over the top. Her mouth ran away and caused too much trouble. I loved the setting of the different sections of the story. I really am ex about the next book .

Loved this book. Laughed a lot and enjoyed the characters. Brought this book for my sister and she almost didn't get it. (did read it first muhahaha) I don't want to say a lot about the story itself because you will want to enjoy every part of it. After my sister read she passed it to mom and she read it in one day, where a normal book this size takes her three days. You get so caught up in the story that seems to take no time and you are done. If you want to read a really good book with characters you will love and a lot of humor you can't go wrong with this one. One you will want to buy and put on your shelf to keep.

The story was one that catches you from the beginning. Very good read, was a little disappointed in the end. Couldn't believe I'm going to have to wait to read about Jane's birth and how Mark handles it.

Jane Abbott knows that she's nobody special, so instead of looking for romance she's hunting partridge in the Maine woods when a plane crashes into a nearby pond. Diving in to save the pilot, Jane instinctively gives him air by way of a lifesaving kiss, and leads him to safety through a barrage of gunfire.

The handsome stranger returns the favor by kidnapping her.

Clearly no ordinary man, and insisting Jane's life is in danger, Mark spirits his stubborn guardian angel to an aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean. Only then does she discover that the mysterious Mark is actually Prince Markov Lakeland.

Soon to be crowned king of the young country of Shelikova, can Mark persuade Jane that she has what it takes to be his queen?

My Review:
I thought From Kiss to Queen was a cute romance but I felt the relationship was a little forced way too soon and Jane's desperation to be a mother kind of felt off but it provided for some interesting and amusing conversations. I thought Mark and Jane were fantastic and I really liked them as a couple but I also felt something was missing in their emotional bond. However that did not take away from how great this book really is. I just need a more deeper bond to pull me into a romance like this. To other readers From Kiss to Queen is a five star read - pick it up and savor it.

Love this book from Janet Chapman. I liked the tie-ins to Spellbound Falls and am eagerly waiting for Kate and Gunner's story. The title of this book kept gnawing away at me, I wasn't sure I liked it. I know it is about Jane going from a Kiss to being a Queen, but my mind kept putting it this way: From Kiss - the band - where Jane feels she's out of step with the rest of the world and has to keep a "mask" on and not let others see the real her - to Queen the Band - Jane at the end with "We will rock you" or "We are the Champions". I love books where I can identify with either the characters or their emotions and this is a book that definitely drew me into the story. I hope this is just a start of the series and we get stories about each of the other brothers, Aunt Irina (need to have an ending), and maybe even something more for Reynard not to mention more about Princess Kate.

I LOVE Janet Chapman’s books! She knows how to write a great romance novel. And From Kiss to Queen is one of those great novels. She takes a premise that every girl dreams about and makes it her own with a little “Hollywood-esque” twist that somehow makes the story all the more romantic. Wonderfully written, with a hero that’s mysterious, sexy and…oh yeah…a Prince, this adorable little romance is Janet Chapman at her finest.
