title: How to Pursue a Princess (The Duchess Diaries)
author:  Karen Hawkins 
description: In the second title in Hawkins Duchess Diaries series (How to Capture a Countess, 2012), Lily Balfours father borrows a great deal of money from a neighbor and cant repay it. So Lily decides she must marry a rich man to cover the loan, despite the fact that he wants to marry her younger sister. Lilys godmother, the Duchess of Roxburghe, fresh off the triumph of marrying Lilys older sister to a man of wealth, is eager to arrange a house party with a bachelors-of-means guest list for Lily. Into the duchess neighborhood move the Grand Duchess Natasha Nikolaevna and her grandson, Prince Wulfinski. When Wulf accidentally meets Lily, he recognizes her as the woman of his dreams, but her godmother intends for another man to be her mate. Though Hawkins story never veers from classic Regency romance conventions, her writing is lively and fans of the genre will be satisfied. --Pat Henshaw
