This book hit
almost all of my absolute favorite points. Small town girl finds out she’s
really royalty, hot prince, moving to a new place, finding out you’re secretly
rich... all it needed was a cowboy and I would have passed out from sheer
happiness!
Samantha
Rousseau is used to getting her hands dirty. Working toward a master’s degree
in wildlife biology while helping take care of her sick father, she has no time
for celebrity gossip, designer clothes, or lazy vacations. So when a duchess
from the small country of Lilaria invites her to dinner, Samantha assumes it’s
to discuss a donation for the program. The truth will change the course of her
life in ways she never dreamed.
Alex D’Lynsal
is trying to keep his name clean. As crown prince of Lilaria, he’s had his
share of scandalous headlines, but the latest pictures have sent him packing to
America and forced him to swear off women—especially women in the public eye.
That is, until he meets Samantha Rousseau. She’s stubborn, feisty, and
incredibly sexy. Not to mention heiress to an estate in his country, this makes
her everyone’s front-page news.
While Sam tries
to navigate the new world of politics and wealth, she will also have to dodge
her growing feelings for Alex. Giving in to them means more than just falling
in love; it would mean accepting the weight of an entire country on her
shoulders
For those who
are close to me, namely my college roommates and fiancé, they know my go to
feel good movie is ... Princess Diaries... the second one is my absolute
favorite. I don’t know what it is about the story but if I’m having a bad day
or I’m sick, I pop it in and the world is better. That’s how I felt about
reading Suddenly Royal. It was one of
those modern day fairytales that made you feel like a kid again and made you
jealous that you weren’t Samantha.
The characters
were awesome. The story is basically what would happen if Prince Harry found an
unexpected air to the throne and she was a sassy chick from Wisconsin. I mean
it’s basically every American girl’s dream right? That’s what so great about
this story. It plays into your childhood fantasy of being a Princess. It could
happen right?
Suddenly Royal was well written, had a cast of lovable characters and a
plot that was well paced and exciting. Overall, this was my favorite New Adult
this year and I can’t wait to read what Nicole Chase comes out with
next....rumor has it it’s a book about Alex’s royal younger sister...eep!
10 out of 10
Happy Reading :)
This sounds like a fab story! Is it just like the Princess Diaries for a slightly older audience? Definitely adding this to my wishlist! Great review :)

It's a romance so it's definitely a steamier and more adult version of the Princess Diaries. I think that's why I liked it so much. It had everything I'm looking for in a princess type romance, but I could relate to it because it had more of an adult feel rather than a high school aged setting. You definitely need to pick it up!
DeleteI want to read it... just the cover was enough to sell me on it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great and I hear that there is going to be a book 2 (eep!)
DeleteI'm so glad you liked this one! I was worried it wasn't that good because one of my blogger friends despised it (I mean, really loathed it), but I don't think she likes New Adult all that much. And the cover is so cute :DD
ReplyDeleteI can'te believe someone loathed this book! It was right up my alley but I would be interested to read your friend's thoughts!
