How To Propose To A Prince is Kathryn Caskie’s third book in a series. The Royle triplets must each find their match. Mary and Anne have found their loves. As the youngest of the triplets, Elizabeth’s turn arrives. She dreams of the man she is to marry, but if he isn’t a peer of the realm, will her guardians approve? She is no less than the secret daughter of the Prince of Wales. Or is she?
And who is who? Are the Royle triplets really the secret daughters of the Prince of Wales? Is the man Elizabeth fell in love with really Leopold, Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfield or his cousin Sumner Lansdowne, Marquess of Whitevale? And what is the relationship between Leopold and Sumner? You think you know, but wait, don’t jump ahead of the story and its final resolution–not only for the book, but for the series as well. Truths are revealed, but some may still remain a secret.
The time frame is the regency era and Elizabeth steps out of the rain into a London jewelry store and humor abounds as she immediately meets her hero–the man she has seen in her dreams. Although her dreams come true, sometimes only parts of her dreams become reality. Which part will be reality for Elizabeth? From there, Caskie’s story moves quickly through a wide range of emotions. The combination of historical data with a fictional romance is very well done.
Armchair Interviews says: Political intrigue abounds along with mystery, danger, humor, and above all else, romance.
