In this wonderful fairytale story about a prince who is turned into a bear and his love, Rosemary. There is fighting, spells, knights, dwarfs, and about anything else you can think of.  Rosemary lives with her mom, the enchantress and her twin, Vanilla and when she finds a talking bear in the forest one day he ends up being the kings’ eldest son, RichardRichard stays at Rosemary’s house while her mother searches for a spell to cure him.  During this time, Richard and Rosemary become friends and possibly more.   

This book stood out from other books that this reader has read in that it is possible to believe that it really could have happened! This reviewer,  honestly could barely put the book down even though the story did start out slowly.  Rosemary’s emotions were very easy for this reviewer to relate too especially when Rosemary explains how she feels everyone is ignoring her.  The suspense between Rosemary and Richard was almost unbearable at times; this reviewer might even say she could feel her lips tingling with the desire for them to kiss each other. On lack in the story however was the instances where the main characters was had fallen asleep for weeks at a time, yet the reader is left wondering what when on about her during those times.  Overall, THE PRINCE IN THE FLOWERBED was a good read and this reviewer looks forward to reading the others in the series. This reviewer would recommend this book to almost anyone who enjoys being swept away in a fairy tale and who enjoys a sweet romance.
