Never Pursue A Prince
Fortune's Brides: The Wedding Vow book 1
by Regina Scott
-From Goodreads- Lady Larissa, oldest daughter of the Duke of Wey, has one goal: find suitable husbands for her two younger sisters and best friend so they may live happily ever after. Despite their attempts at matchmaking for her, she’s all but given up on finding her own groom, a gentleman good enough to meet her late mother’s and grandmother’s expectations. She has a hard enough time meeting those expectations for poise, propriety, and perfection. But a chance encounter brings the most marvelous gentleman to her attention. A shame he is merely a captain of the Imperial Guard of Batavaria and in no way the suitable husband for the daughter of a duke. Prince Otto Leopold Augustus of Batavaria has one goal: to win back his country from those who ousted his family. But someone seems intent on stopping him, for danger stalks the corridors of their palace in England. So why not trade places with his identical twin brother, the leader of the Imperial Guard? Leo might just uncover their enemies before someone is hurt. And having an ally in the thoroughly proper and pretty duke’s daughter can only help. The more Larissa and Leo are thrown together, the more secrets come to light and the more their attraction grows. Would the daughter of a duke dare to throw off propriety, if it means winning the heart of the most princely of men? If you like warm, witty historical romances, with a touch of intrigue, then you’ll love this series starter by an award-winning author.

I knew I would love Never Pursue A Prince even before I started but I was also curious if Lady Larissa would finally grow on me. I didn't exactly care for her prissiness and desire for utter perfection before, but, I knew that if anyone could make me change my mind about her it would be Regina Scott. As anticipated, the author did just that in this first book in the Fortune's Brides: The Wedding Vow series. With Larissa and Leo I didn't stand a chance of staying ambivalent to any bit of their story.
Never Pursue A Prince was every bit as charming, witty, and delightful as I had hoped. Regina Scott had me chuckling just as much as trying to guess who was behind the mayhem stalking the Batavarian court in London. I enjoyed every page and was kept thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Now I am just going to be waiting very impatiently for the second Fortune's Brides: The Wedding Vow novel...
