BOOK REVIEW- MY FAIR PRINCESS by Vanessa Kelly

First, Vanessa Kelly brought readers The Renegade Royals. Now, in a delightfully witty new series, she introduces The Improper Princesses—three young women descended from royalty, each bound for her own thrilling adventure . . .
Despite being the illegitimate daughter of a prince, Gillian Dryden is happily ignorant of all social graces. After growing up wild in Italy, Gillian has been ordered home to England to find a suitable husband. And Charles Valentine Penley, the excessively proper, distractingly handsome Duke of Leverton, has agreed to help transform her from a willful tomboy to a blushing debutante.

Powerful and sophisticated, Charles can make or break reputations with a well-placed word. But his new protégée, with her habit of hunting bandits and punching earls, is a walking scandal. The ton is aghast . . . but Charles is thoroughly intrigued. Tasked with taking the hoyden in hand, he longs to take her in his arms instead. Can such an outrageous attraction possibly lead to a fairytale ending?  AMAZON 4.5 STARS


I enjoyed every minute of this book.   A lot of that had to do with Gillian who was an outstanding main character.  Charles turned to be out quite the surprise as well.  He wasn't half as stuffy as he appeared. I liked the both of them a lot. 
The two of them together was fun to watch even from the beginning.  And it is true that Gillian had pretty much run wild on her own in Sicily.  She was quite skilled and able bodied at getting things done but that doesn't keep her out of trouble.   The opening chapter to the book starts the story out with quite the bang.  

Charles might be looked at as the most Perfect man when it comes to manners and decorum but it also covers a lot of hurts as well.  Gillian is not alone when it comes to feelings of rejection. 

There were also multiple interesting people in the story as well.  Not so many as to clutter up the story or make it hard to follow.

There will be a H.E.A. but of course not until a lot of misunderstandings, tempers and some criminals try to get in the way. 

Things do get heated sexually between the main characters before their total H.E.A.
