About The Princess Plan:

Princes have pomp and glory—not murdered secretaries and crushes on commoners. Nothing gets the tongues of London’s high society wagging like a good scandal. And when the personal secretary of the visiting Prince Sebastian of Alucia is found murdered, it’s all anyone can talk about, including Eliza Tricklebank. Her unapologetic gossip gazette has benefited from an anonymous tip about the crime, prompting Sebastian to take an interest in playing detective—and an even greater interest in Eliza. With a trade deal on the line and mounting pressure to secure a noble bride, there’s nothing more salacious than a prince dallying with a commoner. Sebastian finds Eliza’s contrary manner as frustrating as it is seductive, but they’ll have to work together if they’re going to catch the culprit. And when things heat up behind closed doors, it’s the prince who’ll have to decide what comes first—his country or his heart.

Review:

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

The Princess Plan is the first book in the "A Royal Wedding series by Julia London. If the first book is any indication of how the rest of the series will be, I will not continue with the series. The beginning of the book was bad in my opinion.

The story started with a different point of view from the main characters which threw me off the loop and then there was something about the way the story was told that simply weirded me out. I had a hard time getting into the story and when I did, I was faced with the biggest problem of all.

One of my biggest pet peeves is reading that the hero (usually) or the heroine are sleeping with another woman/man. I was not expecting to find that in this book, but I did and was a little shocked. I couldn't get a solid impression on Eliza, but I did on Sebastian. He is a pig of a man, truly unlikable and intitled. He sent someone to fetch him the woman he was going to sleep with, had zero thoughts of the heroine after meeting her and it was like they had never met. He was a truly awful character.

As you can see the book was not for me and I would not recommend it.
