Her Royal Highness
by Rachel Hawkins
It's about DAMN TIME I got my cute fluffy romance story where the female protagonist falls for someone who happens to be royal. And it's QUEER.
We've seen this story before. It's not new, but Hawkins is giving queer girls their moment with this sweet romance full of a swoon-worthy couple. So I'm 100% here for it.
Honestly, I have to admit I didn't read the first book, Royals. But I've had my eye on this story for so long now and saw that it was a companion novel rather than a sequel, so I decided to go for it. I feel that not having read Royals (now titled Prince Charming) didn't negatively impact my experience with this story, if anything I might've just known some minor characters a bit much. But the book as a whole works on its own.
Our two main characters here, Millie and Flora, both have their own backstories and information we gradually learn. We grow to fall for Flora and feel for her the way Millie does. The banter between all characters is amusing. We also get an incredible collection of side characters, all of them making for an interesting and funny story overall. Honestly it's an overall great time.
This book is filled with so many great things, my only issues being the pacing in the second half. There was just something lacking there and it felt a bit rushed, but I'm overall happy and swooning over the story. There's one dumb thing that happened but it was resolved quickly and I see other people weren't too happy with it either, but the story quickly recovers from it.
This book now leaves me wanting more queer royal stories. And hopefully this one leads the path into queer stories like this being more common.
(Also also also makes me more excited to be writing my own story at the moment featuring queer princesses so that's exciting).
Overall I'd definitely recommend this one for someone looking for a quick, cute sapphic read!
