The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle

When unforeseen circumstances force Maggie to return to her small town and away from the freedom she thought she finally achieved, she quickly gets into a routine that never changes and a job that barely makes ends meet for the whole family. But when she walks into a hotel room to clean as usually, normal is definitely not what she receives. Instead, a very naked man with way too much confidence is standing and somehow this changes everything in her life because she finds him out at the bar later that night and is determined to not make a fool of herself all over. Only thing is, he isn't just a tourist, and a completely new world is opened up to her.

This was definitely fun and I'm happy I'm starting this series since I read the Royals Next Door and absolutely loved it. I thought the chemistry between the two of Maggie and Viktor was great and I loved how dedicated he was to her siblings, but I was a bit frustrated with how he thought she could just so smoothly transition into this new lifestyle. I think the long-distance complications were extremely realistic and a welcome variety in my romances but his assumption towards how she could just quickly fall into his life kind of frustrated me in the end. The side characters were a lot of fun though and I look forward to reading about their stories in the future.
