I previously found the first book in this series, Her Royal Spyness to be a fun, light, and fast read. This book continued the adventures of Lady Georgiana Rannoch in much the same vein. However, it took me much longer to finish this book. First, a short summary.

Georgiana Rannoch, relation to the royal family and 34th in line to the throne, has quite a lot on her plate. She's still strapped for cash, working (in disguise) as a maid-for-rent for the wealthy elite. The queen has asked her to take on a frivolous princess straight from a German convent, and worst of all, she's still a virgin, and the man she's most interested in is nowhere to be found!

And of course, there's murder, intrigue, and treason!

I found this book to be much more predictable and, to be frank, boring than the first one. Perhaps it's because I read this over the space of two months and had more time to mull over the plot (I read the first book in a day and a half). In addition, I was supremely annoyed by the German princess, Hannelore. She speaks in a kind of Americanized German English, which makes her sound at best infantile and at worst mentally challenged. I realize that this was necessary to her characterization, but I've honestly never enjoyed reading dialect. However, I do make exception for well done (and essential) regional dialect, like Janie in Their Eyes Were Watching God. Hannelore's accent detracts from the work, Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter is another heinous example.
