eromization 's review for:
Suddenly Royal
by Nichole Chase
Evidently, I'm on a string of "Didn't Love It - Didn't Hate It" feels for books. This one was amongst them.
The characters were likeable and the plot was enjoyable.... it was just missing something and I'm honestly not sure what.
I guess I found the prince, Alex, to be a little on the "Gaston" type side. You know the type - the ones who think they know you when they definitely don't! BUT NOT ALWAYS and definitely not to the point where I didn't like him as a character or a dude. I guess no one is perfect though so I really can't say any of that is really a bad thing or a "book ruiner". And I agree with some of the other reviews; he was definitely a sexy book boyfriend.
I didn't find the story to have a huge amount of substance though and I had 10 pages left before I realized I was at the end of the book and that there wasn't going to be a real climax to the story. Just a story.
There was a hint of the "SURPRISE! I LOVE YOU" feel to it as well. I know they developed feelings for each other over time but everything just happened to feel super premature to me anyway- and I've read (and adored) books where the H&h fall in love over the course of a week. I guess that's the power of good and fast paced character development.
All in all, this book was okay. 3 stars
