Book Review By Nicole Trammel
Castles by Julie Garwood

Princess Alesandra is an orphan and knows that only a quick marriage to an Englishman is the solution to her problems. Being a princess, there are those in her own country who wish to marry her to rise up on the political ladder. Colin, the Marquess of Cainewood's younger brother, becomes Alesandra's guardian as she is swept up in London society. Later, trying to assist Alesandra in finding a suitable husband, Colin takes things into his own hands and marries Alesandra. Colin, determined to protect Alesandra, is frustrated by her attempts to investigate the disappearances of two ladies. As they grow closer, Colin realizes that he would do all he could to protect Alesandra, especially when it seems a serial killer has chosen Alesandra as his next victim.
