She's No Princess by Laura Lee GuhrkeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is my second book by Laura Lee Guhrke, and both books were the only ones I read in their separate series XD
The idea of the books itself was interesting, but I noticed that it wasn't what happened exactly. In the summary of the book this was mentioned:
The illegitimate daughter of a prince and a notorious courtesan, Lucia has been confined to schools and convents for most of her life. But that hasn't stopped her from causing one scandal after another. Exasperated, her royal father decides that his exquisite hellion of a daughter must be married immediately. And Sir Ian Moore, Britain's most proper diplomat, is the perfect man to choose her a groom.
Diplomacy, not matchmaker, is Ian's forte, but he vows to get Lucia married off as soon as possible so that he may return to his real duties. Yet, despite an abundance of very eager, worthwhile candidates, none is a match for Lucia's spirit and fire. And the more time Ian spends with the infuriating beauty, the more reluctant he is to marry her off. Could it be that he has already found Lucia the perfect husband...and it is Ian himself?
But I noticed that there wasn't much mention of him thinking that he would fit her, the closest ting to it, was the slight flaws and sarcastic comment he made in his inner mind regrading her other suitors.
I hated how people just judged Lucia by her looks, or history or her parentage, ok she was a flirt but that doesn't make her a slut. For many moments in the book I hated the hero, because he just kept mentioning that shes a flirt and a tease, like she just throws herself at any man.
I liked the part that came after the marriage, and the scene with her dad, I'm not saying hes forgiving, but it was obvious he either valued and respected her pride even if she loathed him or that the idea of a daughter of his was kneeling on the ground. But still it was nice and interesting.
Overall, *thumps side-ways*
