RECOMMENDED: Nobody’s Princess by Erica Ridley is $1.99! Shana reviewed this one and gave it an A-:
Nobody’s Princess doesn’t take itself very seriously, so I was able to relax, and enjoy the fun. The love story competes with the Wynchesters’ delightful adventures, but I was having too good a time to mind. This is a whimsical delight that might work for readers who love lighthearted historicals about fighting injustice and found family.
