Interesting premise. And while I did enjoy it, it's one of those stories where there wouldn't be half as much story if everyone would just communicate rather than skulking around mad at each other for perceived slights.

It's like royal reality TV, based on an American Royal family (the Washington's). You'll have a book-crush on Jeff, until you realize what an idiot he is -but aren't all guys? Maybe he'll grow up a bit in the next book? All of the gossip-worthy intrigues will keep you coming back and wishing the book didn't end. Thankfully the story continues!

Perfect vacation read.

(I suppose it is important to note that this is NOT a standalone. I was unprepared for that. When the hell is the sequel coming out?!)

This has all your standard royal dramas of commoners, a devilish princess, a nasty ex, and a sudden change. It was enthralling. Read it in a day.

4.5 ☆ (I reread this book, because I forgot everything about it lol, and I want to finish the series)
I still love this book, all the different POVs, all the romance story lines, the drama, the royalty; everything.
would recommend for a fast paced read!

It was cheesy but I still enjoyed it. It was kinda predictable so I wasn’t completely shocked at the end. I think I was shipping the wrong characters because I don’t really like any of the couples together tbh.
