A Gift for A Princess - Miranda Neville

-

I couldn't find the exact book cover to go with this review of a novella by author Miranda Neville , so I decided to browse on Google images for some pictures of Romance Novel Cover Art and though this one is set outside , I thought it was a beautiful cover depicting the art of romance heightened and described in these novels.

A Gift for a Princess - Miranda Neville

Lady Susan widowed after her husband died during the war , she goes to live with her cousin Lavina. Compared to Susan , Lavina is described as out there , vibrant , beautiful and the girl that all the guys want.
Whereas Susan sees herself as Lavina's dumpy and ugly customer and has come to the conclusion that no guy wants a widowed women, definitely not one looking like her.
Mr.Wyford is by the sounds of it , a tutor of sorts or a friend of Lavina's as he is drawn into the story after telling the girls about a book. Lavina has her eyes set on him as a current marriage prospect. Isn't it funny that back then, men were the ones seen as pieces of meat and the woman sought them out like wolves in a sense but definitely not savagely, it would have been very subtle and ladylike.
However it is not Lavina , Mr Wyford's eyes are set on it is Susan. Will Susan be able to let her feelings beknown to Mr Wyford or will she not look as deeply and think that he is after Lavina.
What starts their relationship in motion is a case of one night passion, where she is treated as a princess by a masked Mr Wyford.
When reading this book , Susan seemed alot like myself - shy, lovable , knowledgeable especially when it came to books . Whereas Lavinia sounded exactly like my sister in some ways.
If A Gift for a Princess was made into a movie , I would put as Cast
Susan : Drew Barrymore or Amy Adams
Lavina: Hillary Duff
Mr Wyford : Jude Law or Hugh Jackman

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
