About this listen
The New York Times bestselling author of the American Royals series invites you to visit 19th-century Europe amid the glamour and intrigue of the Victorian era. In this historical romance inspired by true events, three princesses struggle to find love—and end up vying for the hearts of two future kings.
In the last glittering decade of European empires, courts, and kings, three young women are on a collision course with history—and with each other.
Alix of Hesse is Queen Victoria’s favorite granddaughter, so she can expect to end up with a prince . . . except that the prince she’s falling for is not the one she’s supposed to marry.
Hélène d’Orléans, daughter of the exiled King of France, doesn’t mind being a former princess; it gives her more opportunity to break the rules. Like running around with the handsome, charming, and very much off-limits heir to the British throne, Prince Eddy.
Then there’s May of Teck. After spending her entire life on the fringes of the royal world, May is determined to marry a prince—and not just any prince, but the future king.
In a story that sweeps from the glittering ballrooms of Saint Petersburg to the wilds of Scotland, A Queen’s Game recounts a pivotal moment in real history as only Katharine McGee can tell it: through the eyes of the young women whose lives, and loves, changed it forever.

Story
An American girl finds her prince in this "fun and dishy" (People) royal romance inspired by Prince William and Kate Middleton. American Bex Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it's adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and Bex who finds herself accidentally in love with the heir to the British throne. Nick is wonderful, but he comes with unimaginable baggage.

Doch bei der Frage, wen sie heiraten möchte, hat sie das Gefühl, in zwei Teile gespalten zu sein.

Als Beatrices Vater im Sterben liegt, muss Beatrice sich entscheiden: Gibt sie der Krone oder ihren Gefühlen den Vorrang.

Seventeen years later, Olivia’s life looks pretty perfect . . . until she discovers the man she calls dad is not her biological father. Now she wants answers about her bloodline, and the only place she knows to look is Camp Lost Lake. Most people don’t spend their formative years on the run with an alleged murderer—but Reagan did. In the court of public opinion, her mom was found guilty of the deaths at Camp Lost Lake, and both of them have been in hiding ever since.

Royal Romance
I am normally not a YA reader, but if Katharine McGee writes it, I am going to read it. Especially when it about Royals. I am a big fan of historical fiction so when I saw this book, I knew I had to read it. The three princesses are based on real historical figures and in this story, they are trying to win the hearts of future kings. Alix of Hesse has always been supposed to end up with Prince Eddy, the heir to the British throne, but she is falling for someone else. Prince Eddy is also falling for Helene d'Orleans, the daughter of the King of France (who was exiled) even though he knows his grandmother, Queen Victoria, won't approve of it. and May has always been on the outs and trying to win the attention on Prince Eddy, but maybe she has been chasing the wrong brother.
I truly loved this story and following the love lives of these girls and how their families would react to it. It definitely gave Bridgerton vibes with all of the love, secrets, and drama. The scandal and secrets were some of my favorite parts and I can't wait for the rest of the series!
