Verleiding

Sam Rousseau is focused. She only has space for two in her life. One: her master's program in Wildlife Biology. Two: her dad. That's it. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that she is a long lost Duchess and with that comes a boatload of responsibilities. To make matters worse... she's falling for the prince. WTH?!

I didn't really like Sam all that much in the beginning but she grew on me as the story continued on. Like I said before, she's focused and this makes for a very no nonsense Sam. She likes to get to the point and move on and it comes off a bit abrasive. Like everything though, there's a reason for it.

Alex is attracted to this no nonsense chic that will set you straight in a heartbeat regardless of your status. It's a turn on. Eh, to each his own. This prince is a gentleman in the streets and a freak in the sheets. But honestly, he's so much more. He's incredibly smart, hard working, responsible, accepting and really really really patient.

Obviously there is romance in this book and it was so nice to see the love blossom between Sam and Alex but there is so much more. The book is mostly about the decisions Sam has to make about her life including living it, acceptance, and the many types of loves. It's also about acknowledging and confronting fears head on.

Suddenly Royal is a fun read that had me laughing, crying and awing all throughout. It is a Cinderella story with a twist and felt so real to me that by the end of it all I had to Google Lilaria so that I could go visit. Um, yeah, it doesn't exist. Boooo!

Suddenly Royal will be part of a series and I can't wait to be back in this world.
