I just finished this book and cannot say enough good about it. I like the *idea* of romance novels, it's just that I usually don't read them because most fall into the stereotype of plotless smut. This is so far from the stereotype that I hesitate to call it a romance novel. Yes there's a princess; yes there's a barrel-chested savage(ish) man. But the world in which this takes place is carefully crafted setting worthy of epics. It's as though there is a wonderful story-line waiting, and we are being introduced to it through the love story of Victoria and Dragomir. Their love does take a while to kindle, but that fact is overcome by the sheer force of their love when it does emerge - a love that surpasses lifetimes.
