New Adult Review: Recklessly Royal

* Sequel to Suddenly Royal * 

Cathy and Princess Catherine are two different people - and Cathy doesn't get to relax very often. With her BFF getting married to her brother, it's the perfect time to celebrate. At the bachelorette party, she meets Sam's friend David.

The next day, she's embarrassed by her behavior - what she remembers of it.  But surprisingly, he makes me laugh it off. After spending more time with him, Cathy begins to relax in his company. Could he be dating material?

My Thoughts: I love this series - loved seeing glimpses of favorite characters from the previous book. I enjoyed reading abut Cathy's life - the constant pressure, the paparazzi, and the royal duties, but also the perks and joys from that lifestyle. I felt terrible for Selene, but glad that Cathy looked after her. I loved Cathy's passion for art. Even though I saw the end twist coming, it was a fun book to read, especially since I love reading about royals.

New Adult Review: Suddenly Royal

Sam's working on her masters degree in wildlife biology with a concentration on birds when her life changes. She's asked to join a duchess from Liaria for dinner. Sam assumes the invitation has to do with a donation for the program.

Instead, Sam discovers she hails from a royal line herself and is the heir to an estate in Lilaria.

Will Sam change her life upside down and embrace her royal life?

My Thoughts: A new adult version of Princess Diaries. I loved Sam for her spunk. her sense of fashion (or lack there of), for her loyalty, and for her passion. I loved meeting Alex - the Prince.  He was dreamy and the sparks flew between them. I loved the chemistry and banter between the two of them. I liked watching Sam attempt to adjust to her new life. I can't wait to read Alex's sister's story.
