You know, I hardly EVER give a book one star. But this book...*sigh* where do I start?First off, I'm not against light reads. I read my share of them and most of the time find them enjoyable. But there's light and there's light. This is dandelion fluff light. So light that the plot seems to have blown away into thin air.M. L. McClure has her share of devotees but I should have listened more closely to the reviews. Very few comment on the plot. It's just "all about the kissing". And folks, seriously, it is. I mean, there's little else. It's like the author draws two characters(so they can kiss) Oh no! Make it four; (you know, more to kiss); there. Ok, now where can they kiss? Lets see...how about a prairie kiss? Then lets go to the river and have a river kiss? Hey, meet me by the barn and we'll kiss again! And have you seen the tree house? Well, let me SHOW you! *kiss kiss*. It was THE WHOLE STORY!!! And each kiss (and lead up) may be two or three PAGES!.Hey, I like romance as much as the next person but give us a REASON TO CARE.And it was so Disney. Enter poor clumsy heroine and hero hunk. Hero hunk loves poor clumsy heroine over all others (though he can have his pick) for no reason other than she's adorable and he's older and wiser (and can teach her to kiss). He rescues her non stop through every scrape. She falls in a mud puddle. Guess who's there to pull her out? Enter abusive Daddy, Prairie Prince to the rescue!She's being chased by murderers, have no fear, Prairie Prince is here (on his stallion no less). *SPOILER* They kissed.The one redeeming feature of this book is it's short.Still, I can't believe I read the WHOLE thing... 'The Prairie Prince' is just one of Marcia Lyn McClure's many literary masterpieces.This is was extremely talented author. Through her writings, she causes intense emotional, passionate feelings to arise within her reading audience without explicit details. It is very "cleanly" accomplished.This is a romantic, historic fiction drama with some added action. It is a story of two specific families: A dysfunctional family from an arranged, loveless marriage, in a small town, the other containing a brother with three sisters to care for after the death of their mother, then their father. Difficult as that is, three of the sisters are the same age...Yes, triplets!This is a story of the experiences of these families and in small town living. One family has an hardworking, unloving, violent head of the household. The other family a strong, self-assured, hardworking, loving household head. Can these two families sharing a property line merge as friends? Will they be able to unite with the people in the town area?Points of interest of novel: romance, love, violence, criminals, friendship, unity, historical small town living.
