Reviewed by Natalie Tsang for TeensReadToo.comGirls will laugh and swoon with RANSOM MY HEART. Princess Mia Thermopolis, heroine of Meg Cabot's THE PRINCESS DIARIES, pens a fun, flirty debut novel that's spiced with the occasional mishap.Finnula Crais is out to catch a rich man. Why has Fair Finn switched from hunting game to hunting men? To help out her beloved sister, of course!The family beauty, Mellana, has spent her entire dowry and needs Finn to capture and ransom some poor unsuspectingA book by Mia Thermopolis (Meg Cabot)? I thought when I first saw this. So being the Meg Cabot fan, I checked out this book from the library and began reading it that night. The first shock came on the very first page with the date: England, 1291. Holy cow this was long ago. But I read on and on. By the time I was finally able to stop reading, it had been well over an hour.Mia's (Meg's) writing abilities continue to blow me away. It was just amazing. No, telling you it was amazing doesn't do it
In England in the year 1291, Finulla Crass, the adventurous daughter of the village miller, is determined to help her older sister, Mellana, who is pregnant out of wedlock and needs a substantial dowry, as her child's father will otherwise be too poor to marry her. The sisters come up with a rather unconventional plan - Finnula will find a wealthy man, kidnap him, and hold him for ransom in order to obtain the money Mellana needs. Finnula decides her captive will be a young earl, Hugo

A historical, fun filled romance. This book was "written" by Princess Mia (of course she had help by Meg Cabot)But unlike the Princess Diaries books, this book is NOT YA friendly. Finnula or Finn as she is known, isn't your typical fair maiden. She would rather be hunting with her faithful compainon Gros Louis. Finn is known around her village and also neighboring ones for bringing meat and meals when needed. She has a kind heart and helps her fellow villgers. Her sister, Mellana, finds herself
Normally I'm a huge Meg Cabot fan. I picked up this book and liked the main character immediately. And the knight's character too. However, it turned out to be more like a Harlequin romance. I hate to say it. But I wasn't expecting so much sensuality. It could have been such a wonderful book, but there was far too much sex in it. I'd hoped that most authors would learn from Stephenie Meyer that having tension in a book is much better than sex scenes. It makes me sad, since I have almost all of
2.5 stars I think.I did not care for Hugo at all (I thought he was kind of a tool) and the book seemed to be longer than it needed to be. I didnt think the character of Jamie served much purpose. Finnula was an interesting, if anachronistic, character. This is supposed to have been written by Mia Thermopolis, which is cool, and the story has some of Mias humor in it. I liked Finnulas family, especially her overprotective brother.
It is a charming, sweet, adventurous historical romance with lots of humor, mystery, and loveable characters. Finnula is kind, generous, witty, and stubborn. I really liked her relationship with her siblings and the villagers. Hugo is a real knight, quick-witted, and makes no bones about his feelings and intentions. Both Finnulaa and Hugos personalities and motivation are nicely elaborated, and the secondary characters are also well-drawn. Ms. Cabot is able to characterize them with only a few
