SYNOPSIS I never meant to fall for a prince… now nothing can be the same again. It wasn’t meant to be this way… My life with my daughter was safe and protected; perfectly controlled. Then he came and smashed everything I knew, everything I thought I knew, into pieces. He broke my heart with his lies and deception, but now he’s under my skin and I can’t go back to the life I once had. All roads lead to him, the king of my heart, the man I would change everything for. But with royalty comes obligation and expectation. Everyone wants a piece of him. Inside the palace walls, he swears to keep us safe, yet I know the promise isn’t his to make. Can he be the person his country needs while also loving us? Can I be the woman who stands proud by his side, or will I always be the daughter of a drug addict who has no place in the higher realms of society? He says we can make it work, that we can fight tradition and give his people something new. I wonder what price we will pay to be free to live our dream. A heart-stopping Rags to Riches tale.

REVIEW
5 Royal Stars
 *****
Started Scandal Queen as soon as I finished Tabloid Princess, it starts off where book 1 finishes.

Emotions felt while reading in no particular order..... Worried, swooned, got anxious, smiled lots, angsty, swooned some more, got tearful and more swooning, lots of smiling.

A great conclusion to Leia and Oliver's story, both wonderful characters, both strong and full of love with a caring nature. Little Daisy and Nana make it all that more real.

The romance between Leia and Oliver is heart-warming and you feel the passion through the writing. You do wonder though if they'll ever get a moment when they're not being judged or having a moment ruined by royal life or something from Leia's life being dug up.

I found their story delightful and I loved being absorbed into this royal/fairytale romance. I feel a book hangover coming on, missing Ollie and Leia already!

Review - Tabloid Princess (Tabloid Princess #1) by Anna Bloom

Tabloid Princess

(Tabloid Princess #1)

by 

Anna Bloom

She didn’t believe in fairy tales… until she fell for a prince.

Single mother, Leia Lawrence didn't have a storybook childhood.

Now? Dating… men…? She’d rather stay in her tower of solitude.

Until her path crosses with the heir to the British throne.

He should be the bad boy the press portray him as.

He isn’t.

He should be as arrogant as the rich elites she despises.

He isn’t

He should be easy to walk away from.

Oh, boy, he isn’t.

Oliver is nothing like the man she expects. Smart, funny and caring, he could push through every defence she has in place.

But one passing moment could change everything. It could bring the press to her door and unbury secrets she thinks are long dead.

What will he be willing to do to protect her?

She has nowhere left to turn, except to her prince.

The only thing she can do is wait and see if he’ll choose to protect his country… or her…

My Review

A story so fanciful but so wonderful, I loved it! 

When Leia meets Oliver the future king of Great Britain she doesn't hold back, says exactly what she thinks. In a way she reminds of Bridgette Jones! Leia had an undesirable upbringing and is also a single mum - a perfect match for a prince. 

Prince Oliver.... Let me pick myself off the floor, has he tried saying Princess Tracey, I may come with 3 grown-ish kids and hubby but I can squeeze him in somewhere 🙂. Seriously his swoon-worthy, he might mess up a little here and there but in my opinion all for the right reason. 

This book is no fairytale, well it is sort of, but with Leia's life and work it brings up issues people deal with daily.

I'm diving into book 2 now as I can't wait to see how this will work out, personally I think she would make a caring and compassionate princess, fingers crossed.

The Prince's Bride (Modern Fairytales #2) by Diane Alberts - Review

The Prince's Bride

(Modern Fairytales #2)

by Diane Alberts

Alicia Forkes went to a trendy club looking for a way to forget her troubles, and she found that in the arms of the gorgeous man who swept her off of her feet…and into one of the hottest encounters she’d ever had in her life. Awesome sex with a stranger is now something she can check off her bucket list.

Except he isn’t exactly a stranger. He’s the guy who broke her heart when they were teens, an experience she doesn’t plan on repeating.

Prince Leo can’t believe he’s finally found the woman he’s loved for years, and she wants nothing to do with him. When she shows up at his office, she looks anything but princess-like. In fact, she’s cursing him to hell and back. She may not be Cinderella, but he’s determined to prove he’s the prince for her––even if it means letting her go.

My Review

I found this book a delight, a perfect read on my lazy Sunday.

Alicia is doing her best to tick off some items on her bucket list, she isn't dying though - but a dear friend did and set her up a list to get her living more! One item is to have a one night stand, and it's certainly hot when she does. Trouble is her one-night stand has repercussions she never imagined!

This one-night stand happens in a foreign country, a made-up country admittedly, with royalty and some strange rules. Yes, these rules are not PC, but who cares this is a romance and escapism!

Alicia is going nowhere until next month as she just happened to sleep with the prince and they need to know no heirs have been made...... Off the tower with her.... no not quite she has to stay as a guest in the castle, in the lap of luxury for a few weeks. She doesn't take this news very well added into that is the shock of who the prince is! Alicia is a great character, she is strong but soft and I loved how she said what she wanted, prince or no prince.

The prince, he works hard to win over Alicia, she is not happy about her surprise or being a guest in the castle. I liked him and kept willing him on.

The story is loosely set around Cinderella, a masked night club, a sneaker/trainer and of course the prince. As I said I found it delightful and will be diving into some more of this author's modern fairytales.

Blurb:

Viktor You were the love of my life. Beautiful and radiant. Then you betrayed our mafiya family—the only family we ever knew. Grief-stricken, I did the honor killing. Quick and vicious. Your heart no longer beating. Mine ripped to shreds. When I discovered you were innocent, I was destroyed. Now, years later—somehow, impossibly—there you are, alive.

MY REVIEW

I'm half way through this book and I went in blind as I haven't read book 1, and its really good is obviously a Russian mafia group who are very tight and really care for one another.  Victor is obsessed with a woman he is watching for a job and thinks its his beloved girlfriend that he pushed over a cliff as he thought she had betrayed them.............   It turns out she is that girl but she has amnesia, lucky for him so far!  She is an assasin underneath her memory loss but she wants to a nun.  Victor want her in his bed again, I can't wait to see how this book finishes.

How can it go..... Sorry I tried to kill you, I love you so much really it was a mistake..... (which it was as she was innocent), but seriously he would have some seriously sucking up to do.

I really like Victor so hope it works out for him.

Will post a full review when I have finished book.
