Royal Rumble by Holly Kerr
5.0
Royal Rumble" by Holly Kerr is a delightful romantic comedy that weaves together the enchanting elements of arranged royal marriages, enemies-turned-lovers, and the complexities of rekindled pasts. With a backdrop of a tiny island nation and a charming whirlwind romance, Kerr crafts a tale that is both sweet and entertaining.
The story revolves around Prince Odin of Laandia and Lady Camille of Saint Pierre, who find themselves entangled in an unexpected royal marriage due to an archaic 18th-century French rule. Camille, in need of a husband to ascend to the throne, is faced with the proposal from Prince Odin, the second son of the King of Laandia. However, their history is not as simple as it seems. A decade ago, Odin broke Camille's heart, and now, they must navigate the challenges of their shared past and present to make their marriage work.
Camille's reluctance and sharp-tongued demeanor add a layer of complexity to the plot, creating a delightful tension that keeps the readers engaged. Kerr skillfully explores the dynamics of forgiveness and second chances as the characters grapple with their past and attempt to build a future together. The emotions are palpable, and the character development is well-executed, allowing readers to connect with the protagonists on a personal level.
The author infuses the narrative with humor, making "Royal Rumble" a genuinely enjoyable read. The inclusion of adorable dogs, sword fighting, and snowball fights adds a whimsical touch to the story, creating a lighthearted atmosphere that balances the deeper emotional moments. Kerr's writing style is engaging, with a perfect blend of wit and charm that brings the characters and their world to life.
The pacing of the book is well-maintained, keeping the readers invested in the unfolding romance between Camille and Odin. As the wedding deadline approaches, the tension builds, and readers are left eagerly anticipating the resolution of the characters' conflicts.
I loved Royal Rumble and was constantly giggling and kicking my feet in the air throughout the story. <3
