Hester Browne does it again with a sweet romance, meandering and insightful look at what it means to be linked to the royal family. I have to admit that growing up I had stars in my eyes regarding anything princess. One summer afternoon playing with my brother he wanted to be King and me be the Queen but I told him flat out I would never be a Queen, just a princess - it sounded so much prettier and had less seriousness about it.

Snap this book up if you can. That's my advice when it comes to this series by Hester Browne. When I first got my hands on, The Little Lady Agency, I noticed it was a big thick book...this meant one of two things. 1.

I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong on both counts. The reason this book has so many pages is because it's a solid, good read!
