Suddenly Royal

A bit of a fluff book, but I enjoyed it.

Interesting reread!

A good start to a short series. Without giving spoilers, Sam is intelligent, independent and stunned to discover that she's actually a displaced royal. Alex is a prince with a passion for normality and a quickly found love for Sam...who's the most determined of the two to win in games of love and life?

4.5 STARS

This book is super cute! If you are looking for a light hearted, happy ending beach read, then grab this book! Samantha is smart, sassy, and overall adorable. She is a nice change from so many leading characters in NA. Of course, Alex is Prince Charming. It's a great modern twist on Cinderella.

Sam Rousseau is focused. She only has space for two in her life. One: her master’s program in Wildlife Biology. Two: her dad. That’s it. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that she is a long lost Duchess and with that comes a boatload of responsibilities. To make matters worse… she’s falling for the prince. WTH?!

I didn't really like Sam all that much in the beginning but she grew on me as the story continued on. Like I said before, she’s focused and this makes for a very no nonsense Sam. She likes to get to the point and move on and it comes off a bit abrasive. Like everything though, there’s a reason for it.

Alex is attracted to this no nonsense chic that will set you straight in a heartbeat regardless of your status. It’s a turn on. Eh, to each his own. This prince is a gentleman in the streets and a freak in the sheets. But honestly, he’s so much more. He's incredibly smart, hard working, responsible, accepting and really really really patient.

Obviously there is romance in this book and it was so nice to see the love blossom between Sam and Alex but there is so much more. The book is mostly about the decisions Sam has to make about her life including living it, acceptance, and the many types of loves. It's also about acknowledging and confronting fears head on.

Suddenly Royal is a fun read that had me laughing, crying and awing all throughout. It is a Cinderella story with a twist and felt so real to me that by the end of it all I had to Google Lilaria so that I could go visit. Um, yeah, it doesn't exist. Boooo!

Suddenly Royal will be part of a series and I can’t wait to be back in this world.

ARC provided by Nichole Chase via Inkslinger PR for launch.

So so royal book for me. Typical girl-meets-Prince and they fell in love book. The ending chapters are quite rushed compared to the rest of the book.

I guess I'm on a run of bad luck tonight... This is like a less charming Princess Dairies. The MC is really prickly and not terribly likable and the Prince she just met to tell her about her good fortune seems interested in her for no reason at all. it certainly is not because there has been any stimulating conversation during dinner..... I'm just not going to torture myself and continue.

cute story :-) more mature than princess diaries

My Actual Rating: 3.25 stars

Hm.. having mixed thoughts on this one. While I did enjoy it, some parts were such a drag and the book was too long, I thought I would no longer be able to keep up. If I wasn't too eager for Sam and Alex to just hump each other already, I would've paused this book for another day.

Not very original, but pretty sweet and romantic.

UGH SOO SOO GOOD. I loved Alex and Chad and Cathy. Obviously I loved Sam. Can't wait for the next book.
