This teaser will definitely leave you wanting more. The Winchesters are back again to help someone in need. This time, Graham is leading the way. He hopes he can finally achieve his dreams, and he must rescue a missing woman. Written with a gripping plot, and delightful characters, this is going to be an amazing read.

Thank you to the publisher, Erica Ridley, and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this arc in exchange for my honest thoughts.

This preview was interesting. I don't really know what to expect going forward with the story, but the characters seem intriguing. I'd be interested to get to see more of the Wynchester's sibling dynamic. I haven't decided it I'll pick up the rest of the book, but I think this one is interesting in the fact that I can already tell it's quite different from your typical regency romance.

Can it be July yet? Everything Erica Ridley writes sucks me in and the Wild Wynchesters series is no exception. I've loved the setup for this book in the previous ones, and I can't wait to add Nobody's Princess to my collection. I'm so excited to learn more about Graham and to watch him fall in love, and don't even get me started on Kuni! Such a strong badass character. I love how strong and unique Erica Ridley's heroines are. I devoured The Perks of Loving a Wallflower and can't wait to enjoy Nobody's Princess.

I loved the first two books in Erica Ridley’s Wild Wynchesters series, so I’ve been eagerly anticipating this one!

This preview was great so far, and I’m really interested in the setup for this book, I can’t wait to read the full book - thank you for the extended preview!

Initially drawn to this book because of the cover and description, the contents within this extended preview did not disappoint.

Most often historical fiction novels including people of the African diaspora are depicted as enslaved persons. It is refreshing to read something other than this topic. Kuni is a determined woman looking to prove that she is just as capable as a man for Royal Guard, if given the opportunity.

I have not read the two previous novels within this series but I am thoroughly intrigued and will definitely add them to my TBR. This teaser may just ha e changed my heart on historical fiction.

I picked NOBODY’S PRINCESS up because I loved the previous installment in The Wild Wynchesters series. This book seems to be just as full of delightful banter, simmering chemistry, and elaborate shenanigans for the cause of justice. The main pairing is Graham, the nerdy-sexy intelligence expert who’s a master at Regency-era parkour, and Kuni, a “never leave home without daggers strapped to my thighs” kind of girl from Balcovia who’s desperate to prove that she’s just as capable and deserving as her brothers are of serving in her country’s the Royal Guards. She’s fiercely independent to the point of obstinacy, he’s immediately smitten and desperate to help her - absolutely delicious. I feel like this novel could tackle racism, sexism, and colonialism in powerful ways, depending on how Ridley handles the story. I’m excited to read more! Thanks to Forever for the free preview.

Graham, wishes to be a knight and save a damsel in distress. Kuni, a damsel who is absolutely not in distress, is in no need of a knight to rescue her.

I am looking forward to reading Graham and Kuni’s story. I just love that these two have similar goals, yet, will those goals bring them together or be the very thing that comes between them?

Thank you Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via NetGalley and Erica Ridley for the Extended Preview of this eARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you for an extended preview of this book! I really enjoyed reading it and seeing how diverse the cast of characters is. I'd love to read more in the future and I'm sure that fans of Bridgerton would love it.

This preview was very interesting! Not only is there a diverse group of characters, which is something you rarely see in novels from this time, but the premise was very intriguing! Throwing a strong woman in to the mix when there’s a man completing acrobatics to help you escape? Very interested to see how this plays out!

The following is a review of the first four chapters of Nobody’s Princess by Erica Ridley. I received this DRC in exchange for an honest review.

If you’ve ever swooned for Mr. Darcy or panted after Simon Bassett (Bridgerton’s yumtastic duke), you need to get your hands on Nobody’s Princess. The richly imagined Regency London landscape will sweep you off your feet and into a world of adventure and espionage. This book is the third in the Wild Wynchesters, but can be read as a standalone.

Graham Wynchester is a theatrical spymaster with impeccable fashion sense and a taste for panache. My short introduction to his character had me curious and skeptical. Is he everything he claims? And can he rescue the mysterious Kunigunde and achieve his dreams of an influential position? I certainly hope so. Four chapters were more than enough to have me rooting for him.

Kunigunde de Heusch wrapped me around her finger the moment she was introduced. Her dreams to become her country’s first Royal Guardswoman are relatable, if also deliciously out of reach for me. But, who among us hasn’t dreamed of proving the world wrong and claiming our rightful place in a male-dominated field? A modern-day reader will find plenty of common ground with this strong heroine—her grit, passion, and intelligence promise an exciting ride through the rest of the book.

This story feels like a thoughtful interpretation of challenging topics, including racism, colonialism, and misogyny in Regency-era London. I’m fascinated to learn how these issues are addressed through the story.

This brief glimpse of Nobody’s Princess left me hungering for more. A must-read for anyone who enjoys Bridgerton, historical fiction, and a good mystery.

~Review from the extended preview on Netgalley~

I haven't read anything from The Wild Wynchesters series but I am excited to start. The whole series sounds so FUN. The book has an abrupt start so I think the previous novels would have helped me understand the beginning. It didn't take long to pick up the idea and the free fall into the Wynchester family did make me find the characters hilarious.
Graham's acrobatic feats make this story set up to be interesting. Kuni also sounds wildly interesting as we learn she's a trained fighter. I love the hint of instant attraction that is teased between them at first sight.
The plot does seem a bit outlandish, but in a way that seems like it will be highly entertaining!

I will update once I read the complete story!

Firstly, that cover is absolutely *gorgeous* and I love it.

Secondly, ohmygodsIneedtherestofthisnow! Ahem. Secrets! Spies! Wynchesters! The first four chapters are absolutely and utterly delightful and I cannot wait to read the rest. Also I absolutely adore that Graham is intent on rescuing a damsel in distress while said damsel has no intention of being rescued. Fireworks are sure to follow. Also, Elizabeth and her swords make an appearance (yes!) as well as Tommy and Phillipa being delightfully themselves. I have been dying for the next Wynchester adventure and this one looks like it will be everything I'd hoped and more.

*thanks to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for providing this extended preview for review.
