Royals by Rachel Hawkins
⭐⭐⭐
Description from the Publisher
New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins serves up a deliciously royal romance, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Huntley Fitzpatrick.
Meet Daisy Winters. She’s an offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair; a part time job at a bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who’s nearly engaged to the Crown Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her join Ellie at the relative seclusion of the castle across the pond.
While the dashing young Miles has been appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal, the prince’s roguish younger brother kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take Daisy along for the ride. The crown–and the intriguing Miles–might be trying to make Daisy into a lady . . . but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to suit herself.
New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins brings her signature humor, love of Americana, and flair for romance to this page-turning Princess Diaries turned-upside-down story.
My Review
Page Count: 296 pgs./8 hrs., 1 min.
Genre: YA Contemporary
Series: Royals, Book 1
Narrator: Amanda Leigh Cobb
I was expecting this to be a cute, fun, fluffy read, and I was not disappointed. Daisy and her adventures in Scotland are hilarious, and the characters are a lot of fun. I didn't have high expectations for this book, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had reading it.
I know there are unrealistic aspects to this book, and yes, the characters could have been fleshed out and developed more, but I was in the mood for something light, so these shortcomings didn't bother me. If you are looking for a happy book, this is it!
