Nobody's Princess

By: Erica Ridley

Narrated by: Imani Jade Powers

A fun and feminist Regency romp from a master of the genre hailed as "a delight" by Bridgerton author Julia Quinn.

Nothing happens in London without Graham Wynchester knowing. His massive collection of intelligence is invaluable to his family’s mission of aiding those most in need. So when he deciphers a series of coded messages in the scandal sheets, Graham’s convinced he must come to a royal’s rescue. But his quarry turns out not to be a princess at all… The captivating Kunigunde de Heusch is anything but a damsel in distress, and the last thing she wants is Graham’s help.

All her life, Kuni trained alongside the fiercest Royal Guardsmen in her family, secretly planning to become her country’s first Royal Guardswoman. This mission in London is a chance to prove herself worthy without help from a man, not even one as devilishly handsome as Graham. To her surprise, Graham believes in her dream as much as she does, which makes it harder to resist kissing him…and falling in love. But how can she risk her heart if her future lies an ocean away?

Critic reviews

"Ridley hits the sweet spot of tickling readers’ funny bones and pulling on their heartstrings in equal measure. This is a joy."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Writing with plenty of panache, a flair for thoughtful characterization, and an exhilarating sense of humor, Ridley deftly delivers another marvelously imaginative addition to her Wild Wynchesters series that proves to be another perfect dose of reading joy.”—Booklist, starred review

“The story is fun and playful, but weighty topics are deftly mixed in… Another pleasing and joyful addition to the Wild Wynchesters series.”

—Kirkus

“Ridley, who has a deft hand with dialogue and detail and crafts bookmark-it scenes and byplay, is fast becoming an auto-buy author and makes a good read-alike suggestion for fans of Lisa Kleypas, Grace Burrowes, and Elizabeth Hoyt.” —Library Journal

Lovely!

I absolutely adore the Wynchester's! This family is absolute perfection and this is such a solid series about the strength of chosen family. Erica Ridley truly takes the time and care to craft each and every one of the Wynchester siblings as well as their romantic partners. Ridley's writing is fun, well paced and intriguing. The plotting is lively and keeps the family and romantic interests on their toes as they learn what working together looks like. This is definitely not a series to be missed and although it can be read as standalones, they really build the familial relationships beautifully when read in order.

Brilliant

I loved the characters the story and the narrator. It was romantic without being over-the-top with sexual scenes.

The story had depth well developed characters . Fun, humor and quirkiness too! I have read many Erica Ridley books this is the first one That I have Listened to.

The story is boring and predictable!!

Unlike the other novels from this collection, the characters seem very two dimensional and utterly predictable. Also, this story is lacking so much of the wonderful wit and charm I have come to expect. There is none of that wonderful build up of tension when it comes to "will they or won't they". Any suspense is over with almost as quickly as it began, leaving the entire plot feeling unnaturally rushed and played out.

The one shinning spot in this rather dismal read, is the background information we receive on some of the siblings.
