Worth finding an out-of-print title,unique heroine,fun plot
Rating:
5 / 5
I was a little hesitant to pay a bit more to get a copy of this out-of-print romance, but it was worth it. The heroine, Mimi, is half Indian(her grandfather is a rajah). She is unique and it is entertaining to follow her through her escapades as she tries to find a suitor for her friend Harriet, the vicar's daughter. Everyone is after Mimi for her dowry, so isn't looking at Harriet. The hero is also similarly plagued--he is a lord, and heir to wealth, but has had his heart broken by a fortune-hunter, and is unappreciated by his family. So, the lord goes in disguise, and it takes a kiss from "Princess" Mimi to set him free from his spell. The secondary romance between Harriet and her eventually successful suitor(won't spoil it by letting you know who it is!) adds a nice touch and it is like getting two romances for the price of one. Highly recommended!
