Karen Hawkins’ The Princess Wore Plaid 2.5 in the great Oxenburg series is a great spring day read. It has a  great beauty meets beast spin to it. Tatiana is one of the Romanovin family from the series but in a carriage accident she forgets she is a princess and has to work as a barmaid. Lord Buchan was injured in a battle with the French, he is now like a surly wounded animal. Tatiana is not afraid nor does she treat him like a invalid. Soon they start spending more time together and learn to love. This is a wonderful quick read and I can’t wait for the next in this series.
