Book Summary:

When Crown Princess Justine of Wesloria is sent to England to learn the ropes of royalty, she falls under the tutelage of none other than Queen Victoria herself. She’s also in the market for a proper husband—one fit to marry the future Queen of Wesloria.

Because he knows simply everyone, William, Lord Douglas (the notoriously rakish heir to the Duke of Hamilton seat in Scotland, and decidedly not husband material), is on hand as an escort of sorts. William has been recruited to keep an eye on the royal matchmaker for the Weslorian Prime Minister, tasked to ensure the princess is matched with a man of quality...and one who will be sympathetic to the prime minister’s views. As William and Justine are forced to scrutinize an endless parade of England’s best bachelors, they become friends. But when the crowd of potential grooms is steadily culled, what if William is the last bachelor standing?

Review:🦋🦋🦋🦋

This was a sweet slow historical fiction romance. The characters were relatable and the plot was something new to me as this time it include a Princess who is mostly misunderstood and  she's send to Queen Victoria to learn Royalty life and then put under the watchful eye of William as she is now needing a good eligibility husband. But the more these two spend time together, the more feeling start to grow.
