I gave this a C+ at AAR, so we'll call it 3.5 stars here. This debut novel about Queen Victoria's rebellious daughter Louise had the potential to be a riveting read. After all, The Wild Princess features a heroine recognized as a strong, unconventional lady in her own day, the tantalizing hint of a ...
Guys, you may already know how I'm a huge anglophile and am obsessed with anything to do with Elizabeth I. But did you also know how I became obsessed with Queen Victoria after watching The Young Victoria?? Cause I totally am! So of course I jumped at the chance to read a story about her wild child ...
There is only so much I can take from historical fantasy before my brain rebels and screams no more no more! This one tells the story of the year 1871, a momentous one during the reign of Queen Victoria, what with a strong Republican movement and in December of that year, the near fatal illness of t...
Please forgive me if this review is a little off. I finished this book 2 weeks ago and just started the review this morning around 3:30 AM.

It's not like I have anything against them, I just choose to spend most of my time reading and reviewing young adult. However, when I saw the premise of this novel I knew I wouldn't be able to re...
First let me say, Historical Romance is not my preferred genre. But after reading the synopsis for this book, I was intrigued. I mean, who doesn't love a good scandal? The descriptions in this book are very vivid. You feel like you are walking through the scenes in this book. The main character is a...
Victorian times are normally considered particularly prudish, a setback in the more relaxed morals of the Age of Enlightenment. But in The Wild Princess, Mary Hart Perry shows us the romantic, passionate side of the Victorian Era, in Princess Louise, Victoria's fourth child. Louise is headstrong an...
Might try again later, but I coudn't buy into the premise of the book itself.Queen Victoria marrying off one of her female heirs to a commoner she knew was gay? Riiight.
