The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder
This book is a quick and easy read. It’s fun like a Hallmark Christmas movie. But also like a Hallmark Christmas movie, it isn’t very well written.
Many words and phrases are over used (“bloody hell” was used four times in one chapter….no British person I’ve ever met actually says it that much if ever) or repeated constantly. Some plot points are unbelievable, and not fun enough to make up for it (the Prime Minister and the heir to the British throne showing up at some random persons house because they said something mean on the internet, in hopes it would intimidate him into shutting up??). And the romance wasn’t quite believable enough to me…I didn’t really believe that they were as in love as they kept insisting they were. But all of this is, of course, personal taste and others may not agree.
But the book was still fun. Very much in the vein of “The Princess Diaries”. Recommend for a light and easy read.
