Three Weeks with a Princess
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
In Vanessa Kelly's captivating series, three young women are descended from royalty—in the most improper way. But that doesn't stop them from pursuing lives rich in adventure . . .
Lia Kincaid, illegitimate daughter of the Duke of York, comes from a long line of notorious women. Raised by her grandmother, formerly mistress to the late Marquess of Lendale, she has little hope of a respectable marriage. But the new marquess, her childhood friend, Jack Easton, would make a very desirable protector . . . if he weren't too honorable to take her to bed.
It's bad enough being saddled with a title he never desired. Now Jack must resist the beautiful woman he desires far too much. Duty calls, and he is duty-bound to choose a wealthy bride. But then Lia makes another outrageous suggestion: asking Jack to devise some tests to find her the perfect paramour. Tests that involve flirting, kissing, and other pleasurable pursuits. Tests that, in a matter of weeks, could transform friendship into the ton's greatest scandal, igniting a passion even duty can't deny . . .
"From the very start, it's impossible not to root for Lia Kincaid . . . An enjoyable, thoughtful romance." —Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Vanessa Kelly's Renegade Royals series
"Will definitely resonate with fans of Mary Jo Putney and Joanna Bourne." —Booklist
"Kelly combines diverting dialogue, delightful surprises and finely tuned pacing to make this a winner." &m

Kelly’s spirited second Improper Princesses Regency (after My Fair Princess) follows the socially impossible romance of an English royal’s plucky love child and her childhood playmate, the heir to the Marquess of Lendale. Lia Kincaid, illegitimate daughter of the Duke of York, was raised by her grandmother, the late marquess’s mistress. Lia’s mother and grandmother are the notorious Kincaids, considered “moral pollution” by the marquess’s family—except for his heir, Jack Easton, Lia’s childhood friend. When Jack becomes marquess in 1816, he inherits a nearly bankrupt estate, but he still wants to support Lia and her grandmother. With limited prospects, Lia asks Jack for help setting her up as a rich man’s mistress. Flirtatious encounters gently heat up the narrative until masquerade ball mayhem devolves into fiery passion. When a lord’s death in a brothel puts Lia in peril, Kelly gives her a wonderful character-defining moment that will have readers cheering. The plot drags a bit in the middle, but the entertaining cast of snooty relatives, thespians, and street thugs delivers adventure aplenty. Agent: Evan Marshall, Evan Marshall Agency.

A heroine faces her unlucky future when she must either become a courtesan or rely on the favor of the aristocratic family she believes abandoned her to save herself from financial ruin.From the very start, it's impossible not to root for Lia Kincaid--a force so powerful the novel opens with her name. In a precarious position, at once an illegitimate child and of aristocratic heritage (the daughter of an actress and the Duke of York), Lia is taken care of by her maternal grandmother's lover, the Marquess of Lendale, and yet is still considered an outsider. Although in love with her childhood friend Jack Easton, the new Marquess of Lendale, her scandalous position prevents them from ever making a match. Her luck turns even worse when Jack, having taken his late uncle's position, must break the news that the Lendale fortune is in bad standing and that the estate will no longer be able to take care of them. The solution? Lia must take a lover at her grandmother's insistence and follow the path of the Kincaid women before her. Determined to be different, Lia discovers a generous and well-to-do family member eager to put her on the marriage market and salvage her reputation. While the will-she, won't-she plot can sometimes be a cheap narrative device, and the naive romance heroine can be yawn-inspiring, Kelly (My Fair Princess, 2016, etc.) uses both tropes to challenge and often enchant the reader; there are moments, however, where the narrative pace could be picked up a little and when the love interest, Jack, could be more present. Generally, the novel is carried by the genuine natures of characters like Lia and her kind, long-lost relative Aunt Chloe. An enjoyable, thoughtful romance.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
