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.

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!

Sorry but…
I loved American royals but this book felt very “try hard.” The circumstances coupled with time gaps and superficial characters created a story line that did not leave me eager to read the sequel to which the ending alluded.
