Royal Valentine by Jenn McKinlay

2.0

I'm usually a sucker for the commoner/royal romance genre, but this one was a miss for me. It was short, and there was a lot missed because of the length. The relationship between Molly and Albert was not developed deeply enough for it to seem solid enough to overcome the royal/commoner issues that might arise. I couldn't feel any growth in the relationship that made me feel invested in them as a couple. They apparently fall in love after a month of adventures in New York, but why? When Molly finds out the truth about Al she has the mother of all freak-outs. She is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Albert should have seen this as a giant red flag to get out of here, but he persists in going after this girl. I found her to be annoying. So annoying. Yeah, people have hurt you in the past. I can see why you might be cautious, but to ascribe all those issues to a person who had nothing to do with your past hurts was unfair, to say the least. Her actions were infuriating. I didn't care about her getting a HEA ending, so the whole things fell flat. Two stars. It was okay.
