Good, solid, prince meets commoner HEA romance... a bit too “of the moment” with explicit overlaps to Harry and Meagan’s wedding and current world leaders, but a good story.

Really fun book. I love fake dating tropes and this book kind of reminded me of a gender swap Princess Diaries 2.

Great story!

Such a cute story. I liked the unconventional way they met and the way things worked out. Really liked it.

Ok

I like royal house stories, however, this one had just too many "dramas" in it, for my taste. The story itself was good, as were the main characters. A happy ending.

Nothing to write home about

Cute book

This was a really fun, sweet book. The Prince and his family felt very believable. Libby's characterization went back and forth a bit, but I didn't mind. It was a fun read.
