What happens when a sensible Cinderella meets a European prince? Find out in this sparkling romantic Regency story!
A royal distraction...
...for the debutante!
Given her meagre dowry and lack of known parents, Isobel Lennox must use her only London season to make a sensible match. So why, oh why is she dazzled by the dashing, handsome Prince Claudio? She's not highborn enough to be his bride--and he's certainly not ready to marry. But one mesmerizing kiss later, neither can stay away from each other!
From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.
My Thoughts
Although it adds to the enjoyment to have read the predecessor to this volume, you can read it as a standalone. This story focuses on the middle of the triplet sisters, so you see the journey to London and life in the Ton, through her eyes. All the three sisters may look similar but have different personalities and stand as individuals. Isobel is the impulsive middle sister, who has a practical streak but also yearns for romance. Aware that the mystery around their background means that they cannot aspire to the higher ranking gentlemen, nevertheless, Isobel knows that she must seek out a respectable husband, if she is to avoid being returned to her Scottish home at the end of the year.
This is a fast paced read which takes you through the Season. I enjoyed the descriptions of the various outings and balls which they are invited to. At most of them, Isobel meets Prince Claudio. a german relation of Queen Charlotte. He seems to be quite a mixed up young man, unsure of his path in life. He has fallen in with a racy set of men and is spending much of his time gambling, drinking etc. As the story progresses, you see him reevaluate his friends and what sort of life he wants to lead. This is an entertaining Regency romance, with lively characters and a lot of period detail. I am looking forward to the third in the series, to see what the youngest triplet, Anna gets up to.
In short: spend a season in the Ton
