Want Want Want Wednesday (37)

Her Royal Spyness By Rhys Bowen
"The Agatha Award winner debuts a 1930s London mystery series, featuring a penniless twenty-something member of the extended royal family. 
Her ridiculously long name is Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, daughter to the Duke of Atholt and Rannoch. And she is flat broke. As the thirty-fourth in line for the throne, she has been taught only a few things, among them, the perfect curtsey. But when her brother cuts off her allowance, she leaves Scotland, and her fianc� Fish-Face, for London, where she has: 
a) worked behind a cosmetics counter-and gotten sacked after five hoursb) started to fall for a quite unsuitable minor royalc) made some money housekeeping (incognita, of course), andd) been summoned by the Queen to spy on her playboy son. 
Then an arrogant Frenchman, who wants her family's 800-year-old estate for himself, winds up dead in her bathtub. Now her most important job is to clear her very long family name."
I saw this book reviewed on The Unread Reader I believe? and It sounded like something I would enjoy.


Gates of Paradise By Melissa De La Cruz
"Watch out for the explosive finale in the Blue Bloods series.The seventh and final novel in the epic saga.
All your questions answered. . . All the mysteries explained. . . Friends reunited. . . Hearts broken. . . Will Bliss return with the Hellhounds? Will Schuyler save the Blue Bloods? Who will live? Who will die?"
Look,  I am obsessed with this series. It is definitely a favorite of mine and I may be a book or two behind but still! I want this book BADLY!


The Last Romanov By Dora Levy Mossanen
"For almost a century, Imperial Russia has captivated the imagination- the ruthless execution of the royal family, the disputed survival of the heir: it's a cinematic chaos that the masterful Dora Levy Mossanen unravels for her readers. Taking readers deep into tarnished grandeur, The Last Romanov follows Darya, a wise old beauty whose time spent with the Imperial family has haunted her entire life. When the murderous events unfold, Darya is plagued by the prophecy made by the Empress's advisor, Rasputin. She must find the missing Tsarevich Alexis Romanov and restore the monarchy or risk losing her own life."

You had me at Romanov.
