I just finished Crown Duel and Court Duel and enjoyed them very much. I really like Mel. I definitely will read their prequel A Stranger to Command.

I'm thinking of checking out The Trouble With Kings A Posse of Princesses, too.

I didn't know that about Trouble With Kings. Mind you, I was mostly just paying attention to Flian and Jewel here, and Mel in Crown Duel.

" She's definitely far more interested in her heroines than her men, which is a refreshing change."
