Synopsis
In the last glittering decade of European empires, courts, and kings, three young women are on a collision course with history—and with each other.
Alix of Hesse is Queen Victoria’s favorite granddaughter, so she can expect to end up with a prince . . . except that the prince she’s falling for is not the one she’s supposed to marry.
Hélène d’Orléans, daughter of the exiled King of France, doesn’t mind being a former princess; it gives her more opportunity to break the rules. Like running around with the handsome, charming, and very much off-limits heir to the British throne, Prince Eddy.
Then there’s May of Teck. After spending her entire life on the fringes of the royal world, May is determined to marry a prince—and not just any prince, but the future king.
Thoughts
As a royal watcher, I was keen to read this first historical fiction story from American Royals author, Katharine McGee. I thought this was a well-researched and entertaining read. Although slightly drawn out, the story was interesting. McGee did a wonderful job of adding fictional details that brought these historical figures and their stories to life. Pick this up if you are looking for a cozy historical romance book. The cover alone is eye candy!
