An enjoyable historical romance

A romance that will make you laugh and keep you on your toes, A ROYAL KISS AND TELL by Julia London is enjoyable from beginning to end.

Lady Caroline Hawke has watched her best friend find true love and happiness and cannot help but want that for herself. The handsome, yet bothersome, Prince Leopold stirs something within her but he seems oblivious to her in every way. Well, two can play at that game, and Caroline is determined to make him take notice, and she has just the plan to do it before he disappears from her life forever.
Leo has always been the spare son, good for nothing but carousing and being free. But with his older brother happily married, the focus is now on him and he is being married off for political gain. But when he is informed about an evil plot involving many trusted people in the palace, will Leo be able to find the courage to uncover the truth, regardless of the consequences? And will he be able to ignore the beautiful, yet infuriating Lady Hawke, whose smile he cannot seem to forget?

With plenty of twists and turns, laughs and longing looks, A ROYAL KISS AND TELL by Julia London is the second book in this enchanting historical romance series. Caroline is a very unique character - confident, sassy, outspoken, and content in who she really is regardless of what society says - and likeable from the beginning. She is the opposite of Leo who lives rigidly by protocol but underneath his hard exterior is a vulnerable man who has never really known where he belonged.

A ROYAL KISS AND TELL has everything you could possibly want - danger, sinister plots, gossip, ballrooms, romance, and everything in between - and I look forward to the next book in this series. This book is sure to be a huge hit with all historical romance fans.

Fast becoming a favorite author

A ROYAL KISS AND TELL is the second book in the A ROYAL WEDDING series, and it kept my interest throughout. Not having read the first book, I wasn’t at all lost and was transported to Helenamar in Alucia, London, and the English countryside in the mid 1800’s.

The royal wedding is a nice touch and gives some background information, showcasing the relatives with whom the main characters are related. The groom, His Royal Highness, is brother to the spare heir, Prince Leopold. Leopold is a rake and imbibes a little too much. He is definitely more likable when not drunk. Caroline, a friend of the royal family, doesn’t observe protocol at all and says whatever is on her mind.

There are some sinister doings that Leopold is informed of, and he does his best to right some wrongs without letting the others know. Caroline is drawn in and helps him. The pair have chemistry, though they both protest too much when at the wedding, concluding they don’t like each other. Yet they do.

The story revolves around intrigue and the wedding. There’s a nice flow to the story and closure with the epilogue that takes place a month after the story ends.

Ms. London is an author I’ve recently started to read more of. I enjoy her regency romances as well as her contemporary books and look forward to reading book one in this series, THE PRINCESS PLAN, before reading the next book, A PRINCESS BY CHRISTMAS.
