Book Review of Her Royal Spyness (Royal Spyness, Bk 1)

Her Royal Spyness (Royal Spyness, Bk 1)
reviewed on


Set in London in 1930, Bowen introduces a delightful heroineLady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie. Thirty-fourth in line for the English throne, Georgie has been educated to curtsey, host lavish fetes and marry well. When her brother cuts off her pitiful allowance, Georgie leaves the family home in Scotland for London, determined to become a liberated woman. When her brother is accused of the murder, she must try to clear him and the family name. Quirky characters like her lovable grandfather; her estranged, oft-wed mother; and an incorrigible, sexy Irishman add to the fun.
