spunky and fun,

*I received this book free in exchange for an honest review*
What a great romance! I loved that they hated each other at first. Emily was spunky and didn't fall head over heels for the jerk because he was rich and royalty. She had a back bone. I enjoyed the idea of it being a reality show. This was a fun, romantic story, and as with the other book in this series I've read, leaves you smiling to yourself!
"Once again, your honest is.... refreshing." "Jet lag must be shutting down my filter."

Madeline Ash
Madeline has always lived in Melbourne. She is emotionally allergic to spontaneity, and yet doesn't mind the weather that drags her into rain when she's planned for sunshine. She likes to call this her wild side.
She's a Virgo, vegetarian, and once had a romantic suspense-style dream in which the hero was a shredded lettuce sandwich and the villain was a cherry tomato. The tomato got away. She took the dream as a sign that she'd better stick to writing contemporary romance.
Her stories have spunky heroines, strong heroes, and as much dialogue as she can cram in. As for why she writes romance, she's in a long-term relationship with the genre and writing such stories makes it happy.

ReplyDeleteDenise
I have really enjoyed all of these books
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite part of reading royalty romance is dreaming back when you were a child and thinks about being a princess is part of it. Entering under the name of Virginia.
ReplyDeleteRoyalty romances make me dream about being a princess with lovely jewels. But I wouldn't trade my life to be a princess, as my husband and three kids are my most precious jewels. xo
ReplyDeleteeverything! love the beautiful scenes, sharing being a princess, dreaming it's me LOL, going on fantastic adventures
ReplyDeleteI love reading about royalty! It makes me think back to when my daughters were little and they called themselves the princesses and their mom was the Queen. I'm still the Queen in my house but now I'm happily married to my King. He was a frog at one point, but guess my kiss got him out of that whole froggishness.
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of living in a castle and not having to clean it. LOL
