Disclosure of Material Connection: I received
this book for review from InkSlinger PR and from the author. I was not
compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have
expressed are my own. I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade
Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and
Testimonials in Advertising.”
Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry Charles Albert Edgar Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.He’s not handling it well.
Hoping to force her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:
Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.
A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.
While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.
The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit…and her naughty sense of humor.
But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.
As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

My Thoughts:
Henry Pembrook is not a fan of a popular sport – that’s ok because
I don’t like it either. You can also
feel his frustration. He’s having a hard
time adjusting to the current turn his life has taken. The reader is re-introduced to his brother
who makes his appearance in Royally
Screwed. You will not need to have
read that book in order to enjoy this one.
But if you’re looking to see what his backstory is you may just want to
check it out. Sarah Titebottum has a
tough job ahead of her. She also seems
to prefer the company of books than with people.
Queen Elizabeth would make a great inspiration for the part of
Henry’s grandmother. Felt like this was
almost like watching a modern day Downton Abbey with the royal family as the
family characters. I can certainly
picture Prince Harry in the role of Henry.
There was one scene where Henry was talking with some men. My concentration broke at that time and I
couldn’t tell who was speaking – good reason not try to read if you’ve been up
since early morning. Our author is very
good at knowing what scenes will get her readers laughing. That was well and good, and I certainly loved
the concept, but no disrespect to the author because I’m not a fan of The Bachelor franchise some of the
scenes seemed to lag. When Henry wasn’t
playing for the camera and can be himself around Sarah, those were the scenes I
liked the best. The author reiterates my
feeling that the The Bachelor show is
a fraud. With cameras rolling, everyone
puts on their game faces.
I wanted to yell at Henry to get to the good stuff when he was
around Sarah. He was insightful where
she was concerned – was able to see beyond the outer shell that she hides
behind. The same could be said in how
Sarah sees him. For me, Sarah was the
more likeable character. She was someone
that a lot of women can relate too – not everyone wants to be in the
limelight. Having a book that makes you
laugh is never a bad thing. And having
the happy ending is just icing on the cake.
