Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Princess Gets Engaged
Tracy Sinclair · 1998
58/100
👎 Skip It
A warmhearted Silhouette Special Edition that does exactly what category romance readers in 1997 expected — charming mistaken-identity setup, reluctant royalty, likeable commoner heroine — without doing anything to distinguish itself from the hundreds of similar titles published that decade. If you love comfort-read category romance and enjoy the princess-and-commoner subgenre, this will satisfy. But there's not much here for readers outside that specific taste.
