If the Shoe Fits (Unruly Royals)
When the nineteenth Duke of Northrop marries, his younger, carefree brother, Devon, is the best man. Sarah James, an American who owns a fashionable shoe company, is in the bride’s party. Devon is looking for a good time, and Sarah is looking to rid herself of her virginity. But their no-strings-attached, let’s-just-have-some-fun weekend turns into something else as the two of them realize their mutual attraction is more than superficial. However, like many modern romances, theirs is interrupted by miscommunications, misunderstandings, and things left unsaid. That’s when Sarah’s formidable grandmother, Letitia Fournier, joins forces with the redoubtable Dowager Duchess of Northrop to put a stop to this foolishness and get Sarah and Devon back on the right track. This sexy, sparkly story, with its witty dialogue and likable characters, is a fun, lively read. Readers will also seek A Royal Pain (2012), the first book in Mulry’s contemporary series about American women marrying British royalty. --Shelley Mosley
