Royally Screwed
by Emma Chase
Picked up this one on a SBTB review or sale notice (I forgot which one), because it sounded awesome - sort of a modern Cinderella story, with a plausible setup for a small fictional kingdom. The book delivered in spades, and I really, really enjoyed it. The main characters were interesting and true to themselves, even as they changed throughout the novel, and the exploration of backstory for them both showed what had made them the people they were today. I particularly liked the supporting character of the Queen, especially the bits about duty and holding up the family reputation, as well as the hints of politics thrown in here and there for how the kingdom was run.
I wasn't super excited with how the end of the story went, as it was a bit out of character for our prince IMO, but it did involve him recognizing his responsibilities even as he tossed them out the window, so that's a mixed bag. A few other threads were left unfinished (the snowflake necklace and that awful woman who kept it...argh!) that I wish had been wrapped up as well.
Lots of sex scenes, explicit without being ridiculous or over the top, and one incredibly interesting and well written scene in the bathroom. Definitely a good read from that aspect. ;)
I'll be picking up the next book in the series when it releases - I enjoyed this book and it was perfect for reading on the plane as some less-serious entertainment.
