nicolepeck's review against another edition
4.0
I was probably the most excited to read this story that is part of the Echo Ridge Romance collection because The Princess Bride is one of my most favorite movies of all time!! Of course, that put me with really high expectations. This story was well-written, but I think I wanted to read it more along the lines of the story following the movie story. Instead, the story connection to the movie was that there was a prince and a commoner and then lots of word-for-word direct movie quotes scattered throughout the story. Sometimes those were perfectly placed, but a few felt a little forced (like the miracle man ones). I enjoyed the banter between the two main characters and also the addition of the other man who expressed an interest in Elise and their dating, so that she had to choose between the two!! (**SPOILER** secretly, I wanted her to end up with him instead of the prince, which I expected, probably as a red herring, from the many Roman Holiday references!!) (P.S., I'm still waiting for my prince to sweep me off my feet with "as you wish"....ha ha ha ha!!!)
