This was such a cute book! I absolutely loved it! The story moved along well without any big gaps or slow moving sections. I really liked the characters, I thought they were well fleshed out and were believable as a couple.

I just couldn’t get into the writing and the story unfortunately. It seems like a cute romance story and I’m sure someone else will love it but it just isn’t the book for me.

I'm always a sucker for a royal themed romance and this book was no exception! The setting was beautiful and I liked the descriptor but the characters sort of fell short for me. I had a hard time relating to Khara and Adam was just a bit much for me. The author definitely could have used certain instances in the book to develop him more but he felt very 2D. However I enjoyed this book enough that I am going to give the Waking up in Vegas series a try.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC for an honest review :)

The premise of this book sounded fantastic but the execution left something to be desired. I absolutely adored the setting of this story and it did a lot to save my rating. I found the behavior of the boys inexcusable and I'm not sure how our MC found it in her heart to forgive them, let alone fall in love with one of them. I'm not sure there were enough repercussions for the actions taken by the LI. He was kind of an entitled jerk and not in the way that makes me swoon.

The plot and characterization were alright. It wasn't the worst thing I've read but it's nowhere near my favorite. There are plenty of better romance novels set against a European background that are better worth your time.

This fairy tale romance is very well yet developed though it is a bit predictable. Meant to be read as a part of a trilogy, this can easily be a standalone read. Humor and romance abound around every corner and the plot lends itself to natural humor and twists and turns. Khara is a cocktail waitress in Vegas and she has been working her way through college. Her life becomes different when her best friend is getting married to a minor royal from Europe and she is to accompany her at the wedding as a bridesmaid. This reminds me very much of a Princess Diaries type of story or some "royal" romance that you might see in a Hallmark movie. The characters are well developed and they provide the basis for an enjoyable royal wedding story sure to warm your heart. This follows the typical plot line of "hate to love" relationships and is sprinkled with the delight of the royalty aspect as well as European delights.

I realized partially through the book that it was a sequel. However this did not detract from my enjoyment of it. The plot line was pretty cheesy—a playboy royal is reformed by a commoner—but still fun to read. The characters weren’t terribly original and the development could’ve been better. If you want a lighthearted romantic read, then this is the book for you.

Wow I’ve never heard of Romy Sommer till now and now I feel like I’ve been missing out all this time. This was absolutely amazing and I loved it from start to finish! Couldn’t put it down. It has insane chemistry, hilarious banter and fabulous characters that totally were perfect for each other. I fell in love with all the characters in this book and I need their stories like right now. Lol!! You have to pick up this book today, you won’t regret it I promise!! Happy reading!!

This book is as hard to put down. The romance is slow burning and compelling. Adam is an ass in the most delicious way. My only complaint about this novel is that for the first 30% of this book I hated Khara. After that mark though she was fine.

Oh my gosh! Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this great book! I loved, loved it. The book starts off where cocktail waitress Khara has to host a private party upstairs where she soon realizes that its royalty. While one creepy blond guy hits on her inappropriately, a gorgeous dark haired guy Adam comes to her rescue and oh my orders cheesecake. Fast forward a year where they meet again this time both standing up in a royal wedding. Great romance, loved the story line and the characters.

Loved this book. Great characters, easy read, uplifting, funny, romantic and charming. A really nice story that is the perfect escapist read.

A Royal Romance...check, A hate to love romance....check, an entitled prince...check. These were all things that sold this book to me. First we meet our heroine in a typical American job waitressing for the 1% in Vegas. She meets our hero and upon being labeled as a panty dropper for a black card she quickly determines that he is not someone she wants to be involved with. Flash forward to the event of the year. Her best friend, only friends, wedding to a well loved Archduke. The relationship between Phoenix and Khara is easy to love and easy to compare to a good girlfriend in your own life. I really enjoyed this story and how Khara does not disclose to Adam until the last few pages in the book that she was the waitress that he propositioned in Vegas. The character depth of Adam was not there at the start of the book but over the course of the story you get to see him develop and grow as a character. I truly loved this book and I would love to see a prequal come out about Max and Phoenix and that first year they were secretly married. Thank you to goodreads for providing me a copy of this book for my honest review.

This was a very unbelievable story and I didn't really like the characters. I really like rom-coms but this was boring. It was not for me.

This was light hearted and it had wedding and royals and romance everything that interests me and it did not disappoint. I loved this and the characters were a little relatable. Thanks Netgalley and the publishers I gave it 3 stars

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!
3.5 stars.
Very cute story. I like the plot and most of the characters. I thought Khara kept mentioned her financial situation way too much at the beginning. I loved seeing the relationship developed. It wasnt insta-love, it took its and I thought that was lovely. Quick, fast pace amd engaging.
This wasnt my favorite romcom of the year, but I definitely enjoyed it?

This had the same undertones of The Wedding Series by Jasmine Guillroy, just by a different author. I just felt like it was the same story just with more affluent characters and different names, A nice vacation read.
