I love it when a book is completely different than what you expect when you read the synopsis. This is the first book from this author that I have had a chance to read and review.
Showcased as a contemporary romance, this book is so much more than that. Emory crosses multiple genres with interest and intrigue. I was so happy to review this. You have to check out this upcoming release!
The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory
Publisher: Gallery Books (October 9, 2018)
ISBN-13: 978-1501196614
ABOUT:
Princess Theodora Isabella Victoria of Drieden of the Royal House Laurent is so over this princess thing.
After her fiancé jilted her on their wedding day, she’s finally back home after spending four months in exile—aka it’s back to press conferences, public appearances, and putting on a show for the Driedish nation as the perfect princess they expect her to be. But Thea’s sick of duty. After all, that’s what got her into this mess in the first place.
So when she sneaks out of the palace and meets a sexy Scot named Nick in a local bar, she relishes the chance to be a normal woman for a change. But just as she thinks she’s found her Prince Charming for the night, he reveals his intentions are less than honorable: he’s the brother of her former fiancé, a British spy, and he’s not above blackmail. As Thea reluctantly joins forces with Nick to find out what happened the day her fiancé disappeared, together they discover a secret that could destroy a centuries-old monarchy and change life as they know it.
Funny, fast-paced, and full of more twists and turns than the castle Thea lives in, The Royal Runaway is a fresh romantic comedy that will leave you cheering for the modern-day royal who chucks the rulebook aside to create her own happily-ever-after.
The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory Review
From the very first chapter I knew I was going to thoroughly enjoy this book. You just get a feeling from the flow of the story and I was so happy that I was completely right.
This book captured me in the beginning and I was sucked into hours of reading at a sitting. The author has crafted a story that takes a look into the sheltered life of royalty.
Sometimes we think how wonderful it would be to live life like that. But then you read a book such as The Royal Runaway, and you realize much of their life is lived in the public eye. Even heartbreaking shame is laid out for all to see.
This is not a story of just romance, per se, but more a story of truth, history, intrigue, treason, connection, emotion, and protection. This book is a complete package that will leave you breathless in many parts, and engrossed throughout.
I absolutely love this type of story because it grabs a hold of you deep down inside and leaves you begging for more. A wonderful five star effort by this author. I will definitely be looking for more from her in future!
