Every prince has his secrets. And she’s determined to unravel his . . .
Every dashing young man in London’s ton is vying for Lady Caroline Hawke’s hand—except one. Handsome, delectable roué Prince Leopold of Alucia can’t quite remember who Caroline is, and the insult is not to be tolerated. So, Caroline does what any clever, resourceful lady of means would do to make sure a prince remembers her: sees that amusingly risqué morsels about Leo’s reputation are printed in a ladies’ gossip gazette . . . all the while secretly setting her cap for the rakish royal.
Someone has been painting Leo as a blackguard, but who? Socially, it could ruin him. More important, it jeopardizes his investigation into a contemptible scheme that reaches the highest levels of government in London. Now, Leo needs Lady Caroline’s help to regain access to society. But this charming prince is about to discover that enlisting the deceptively sweet and sexy Lady Caroline might just cost him his heart, his soul and both their reputations . . .
Having read and loved the first book, I was prepared for another bold Lady to give a Prince a piece of her mind, but I honestly didn’t predict how hard the heroine in here would go at it . . .
If etiquette never applied—not that it does now—to Eliza around Prince Sebastian, it is most certainly thrown out of the window when Caroline is around Prince Leopold, or everyone else, really. She is quite the brazen lady who challenges readers to see past her vanity, and to embrace her confidence in a way that intrigues them on a level they probably didn’t think possible. Being this part of the charm of this book, you can see how Leopold can’t stay completely indifferent to this lady even if there’s nothing he would love more than have anything to do with her—do you, Leo? Let the banters begin and a risky sub-plot drag you in, because something you can rest assured these books never run out of is a nice dose of intrigue that is as good as the romance.
With daring characters, a secret investigation, and ravishing kisses at their best, A Royal Kiss and Tell is a charming second instalment in a unique historical romance series.

I love historical romance SO much! And I’ve been seeing these books everywhere lately. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I know you do, Stephanie! Both books I read in this series were fun to read, and I like that there is always an intriguing plot playing in the background, it definitely keeps the reader engaged.
I was offered the chance to read this one, but never accepted. Now, I think I may have been a bit hasty.
After I took the opportunity to review the first book, I got intrigued by the characters to the point that I wanted to see how their own story would play, so I jumped on this one!
I adore Caroline so much! Her and Leopold together was so much fun. Great review.
I know, right? I wasn’t sure about Caroline at first, but she grew on me during the read, and Leopold was a pleasant discovery as well!
I just love seeing a heroine with such confidence. Glad you enjoyed this one, I am planning on picking this one up very soon.
Lovely review
If you do, than you are going to enjoy this one! Caroline is quite the bold and feisty heroine, she sure keeps (Leopold) the reader entertained 😉
Brazen? There is something so intriguing about that description of a historical heroine. 🙂
Oh, this is such a brazen one alright! The heroines of this series are particularly so and quite entertaining because of that. How a lover of this genre can ever resist that, right? 🙂
OMG, Caroline sounds BRILLIANT! I love her!! She certainly si going to give Leopold a run for his money!
At your ‘BRILLIANT’ she would have totally shouted “I KNOW!” back, hehe
I have not read any of Julia London’s books yet but I do hope to. This sounds fantastic, Silvia! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
I really had a lovely time with it, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did when you get the chance to put your hands on it, Carole!
