Review: Royally Not Ready by Meghan Quinn


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.

Get ready, fellow romance readers, because Meghan Quinn's newest release is a royal romance! Royally Not Ready is the story of Lilly Campbell, a twenty-seven-year-old co-owner of the Splash Wagon from Miami who has absolutely no clue that she's a member of European royalty. When a hot guy in a suit with an equally hot British accent shows up in the middle of a wet t-shirt contest informing her that she was a princess wash shocking to say the least. Add to that the fact that she's been deemed the next in line after King Theodore, who just happens to be her maternal grandfather. Thirty-two-year-old Keller Fitzwilliam may have been tasked to come fetch her and bring her to some place called Torskethorpe, but he doesn't have to be a grump about it. It turns out, though, that he's also supposed to train her in all things royal, especially as the heir apparent. It's Keller's duty to prepare Lilly for everything to come, except he hasn't prepared her to fall for him.

This was a royal romance with a creative twist, and with so many books falling under this trope, it was nice to have that bit of something to make the story and characters stand out. Lilly was an absolute standout main character. She truly was the heart of this story, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing her go from bikini store on wheels co-owner to princess while she still remained true to who she was at her core. I liked the connection she shared with Keller, and she being that bit of sunshine that helped him thaw out that icy heart of his made for a great romance as much as the whole princess-in-training aspect was entertaining. All in all, Royally Not Ready had that trademark humor mixed with some swoony romance that Meghan Quinn is known for, and I'm handing this four stars.

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
