Kate Carmichael has not had an easy life. After her mother's death, her father left her in the care of a kind friend while he attempted to settle his debts, but he never returned. Now, twelve years later, Kate's guardian has passed away. And without a will promising her the Victorian house, the guardian's next of kin is ready to take possession and throw her out on the street.
With only a week before she's evicted, Kate must find the will. During her search, she inadvertently frees Robin Goodfellow from the portrait he has been magically trapped in for the past two hundred years, but the spell isn't completely broken. Some mysterious force compels Robin to remain at Kate's side. And even as they agree to help each other, a different kind of magic takes hold--leaving them spellbound in love...

"Prince of Charming is an amusing fantasy romance that will enchant sub-genre fans. Karen Fox writes a novel that is fun to read."
"Sweet and sensual, Prince of Charming offers something for all readers. From characters that appeal and sizzle to conflicts that draw the reader into the story and refuses to release them until the final page. A page turner and a welcome edition to one's reading pile. Karen Fox proves that her writing is simply charming."
"Prince of Charming is just that, a charming book to read about the struggles two people have with their inner and outer turmoils. Sexual tensions abounds and beneath that, love. Well done!"
"While proficient in the mechanics of writing such as plot, pace and dialogue, the true strength of Ms. Fox's writing lies in her ability to create highly engaging characters in the context of a realistic, plausible fantasy. Though three years in the coming, Prince of Charming has proved well worth the wait. I look forward to her next book, Queen of Hearts in fall 2001."

"What a fun read! I zipped through Prince of Charming, turning pages as fast as I could. This is the first book by Karen Fox that I've read, but it will not be the last. Robin and Kate are terrific characters, with depths that I enjoyed watching develop. The magical aspects were fun, making a good story into a great one. I urge readers of paranormal romance to pick up this book as quickly as they can."
"Ms. Fox has penned a delightful tale filled to the brim with passion, warmth and humor. This story was great fun. Karen threw in a little surprise at the end that put the couple's happiness over the top. Nope, I'm not telling. You'll just have to read the book. And if you like it as much as I did, get psyched because there will be another! This time the fairy will be a female in search of a mortal prince."
"Readers will stand up and cheer for Karen Fox's Prince of Charming! Finally, a heroine who's a real woman. Finally, a hero who knows what a rare find she is! Finally, a book for us all to adore! Thank you Karen Fox for creating the most lovable hero romance has seen in a long, long time!"

"I thought Prince of Charming was a very good Fairy Tale. I usually don't care much for stories about fairies, but I was truly charmed by Robin. Kate's insecurities as a large, full-figured woman rang true, as did the fact that Robin saw her beauty. ..this was altogether an enjoyable story and was well worth the reading."

"Karen Fox has penned a warm, funny and quite delightful tale that is very special."
"This is a sweet but action packed book and Ms. Fox keeps you guessing about possible endings. You will not want to put it down until reach the end. I look forward to the next book of hers about the fae (fairy) folk...Buttercup Baby.
"Karen Fox's newest release Prince of Charming is another example of why I never hesitate to buy Jove books. They are consistently well written, unique and wonderfully entertaining stories that give me exactly what I'm looking for--a break, a light, happy read and an afternoon spent with a smile on my face. I completely enjoyed Karen's writing style, and she will be an author I watch in the future."
