Welcome to my stop on The Wild Princess Tour brought to you by Innovative Online Tours. Check out my review and visit the other blogs for more reviews, excerpts, and giveaways!
To the
court and subjects of Queen Victoria, young Princess Louise—later the Duchess
of Argyll—was the “Wild One.” Proud and impetuous, she fought the constraints
placed on her and her brothers and sisters, dreamed of becoming an artist, and
broke with a three-hundred-year-old tradition by marrying outside of the
privileged circle of European royals. Some said she wed for love. Others
whispered of a scandal covered up by the Crown. It will take a handsome
American, recruited by the queen’s elite Secret Service, to discover the truth.
But even as Stephen Byrne— code name the Raven—vows to risk his life to protect
the royal family from violent Irish radicals, he tempts Louise with a forbidden
love that could prove just as dangerous.
In the vein of Philippa
Gregory, Mary Hart Perry tells the riveting story of an extraordinary woman—a
princess who refused to give up on her dreams, including her right to true
love.
My Review
First let me say, Historical Romance is not my preferred genre. But after reading the synopsis for this book, I was intrigued. I mean, who doesn't love a good scandal? The descriptions in this book are very vivid. You feel like you are walking through the scenes in this book. The main character is a strong woman who stands for what she believes. I am really glad I gave this book a chance!
Good Book!
