Royally Screwed
by Emma Chase
I freakin' loved this!
It was my first "Royal" romance and I was a bit skeptical because Emma Chase's "Tangled" didn't do it for me, and "Tamed" was better but nothing off-the-charts amazing.
Instead, "Royally Screwed" was the perfect mix of funny, hawt and romantic. It totally got me going and I fell for Nicholas since page one. Okay, maybe page 10 or so, when he sobered up.
I also adored Olivia. Something I always appreciate in female main characters is if they're hard-working gals. Still, what I love even more is when they also happen to be sweet people who don't shy away from love only because they're too busy. I like balance, and Olivia had the perfect one. Also, her being so outspoken and honest made the dynamics with Nicholas fresh, witty and fun.
The plot overall wasn't anything too original, but the characters were complex and lovable enough to make it read like something new.
All in all, I devoured it. It was a page-turner and I loved how their relationship was epic in that desperate way that only loves with an expiration date can be (and also seriously hot. Like they should add a warning: it may combust panties). Still, the book's atmosphere was mostly happy and easy-going. The dark cloud hanging over their heads didn't perturb the narration.
Now I've already started to read Henry's book, a character that truly intrigued me in "Royally Screwed" and about whom I want to know way more.
