Great start for the Love in Laandia series! Camilles character is incredible, a strong female lead, full of sass and always standing up for herself. Prince Odin is swoonworthy, although a little clueless about relationships, I think it helps humanise him and makes him easier to relate to.

The family dynamic is heartwarming and makes you feel like you are right there, part of the family.

I do have some unanswered questions at the end of the book. I think it needs a couple of bonus scenes to wrap up things with her dad, and if she takes over his role, along with why did Prince odin stop writing to her, it felt like there is more to that story. All of this may be clarified in the next book however.

Overall this was a good feel good, funny, cheerful book. Light and Fluffy with lots of chuckles.

I love a cute royal romance. This might be my favorite second chance romance. Very the Princess Diaries 2 vibes! When I saw there would be another book I was super excited.

I am not totally sure how I feel about Royal Rumble. I both liked and didn't like this book. Aspects of the plot were nonsensical (a royal on a reality dating game?) as was Camille's complete unwillingness to understand what might have happened with Odin when they first met - you know, when they were teenagers. I enjoyed the interactions between Odin and his brothers and am definitely interested in reading their stories.

3 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.

Royal Rumble by Holly Kerr is a sweet second chance romance that everyone needs to read. There were a few parts of the book that had me questioning what the purpose of it was, but overall, it was enjoyable and fun.

My journey to Laandia did not disappoint. Prince Odin and Lady Camille’s second chance romance was a perfect beach read. I loved the characters, especially Lady Camille as a strong woman lead. Odin and his brothers were compelling and I look forward to spending more time in Laandia with them.

Royal Rumble definitely earned bonus points with me for its references to and locations in Canada, plus it even managed to work in a reality TV show to the plot. Super fun read!

LOVED this book!! It took me a few chapters to get into it, as the writing seemed kind of stilted and definitely somewhat boring for the first four or five chapters. But after that the writing style seemed to change slightly and the story got a whole lot more interesting, to the point that I could not put it down. It seemed to end somewhat abruptly, but I’m guessing we’ll get a little more closure for this book in the next one. (I just would have liked to read about their experiences and feelings at their wedding, instead of only getting to experience it from someone else’s point of view.) I absolutely cannot wait for the next one!!

Camille is everything. I love her spunk. Her passion. Her determination to never be stepped on. She is a bad ass and I love her !!
Odin is everything we dream of in a prince, but also way hotter with the strong Viking blood in his veins.

I loved the story of Odin and Camille’s first meeting. The only thing that kind of crushed me was not knowing what for sure made Odin stop responding? I feel like there’s more to the story in their falling apart than what we are given.
There was a lot of miscommunication between our fiancés and I felt that kind of hindered the plot. There were a lot of moments that I wanted to scream “JUST SAY IT!!!” Because their internal voices said one thing and it was never acknowledged out loud. For as bold as Camille is, I didn’t expect her to bite her tongue as often as she did.

Overall though, I loved watching these two grow from being in an arrangement - to slowly falling in love with each other. Long lost loves, reunited.
Such a wonderful premise, well executed, and adorably cute.
Thank you SO much for the opportunity to read and review this book!

This book starts as a 'read me' but quickly I'm become sick of the whole Lady Camille holding a grudge against Odin for something that happened when they were teenagers. I wanted to love this first book in the series as normally royal books pull me in and keep me entertained, this just didn't. I'm sorry but its a miss from me.

I need the next book and I need it now!!

If you’re looking for a swoon worthy read, this is it! This will they/won’t they story is so cute and heartwarming. Everything from the MCs to Odin’s brothers to Betty White made me giddy. If you’re looking for a swoon worthy read, this is it! The land of Laandia sounds so lush and calming, The way Holly describes the town makes me feel like I’m actually there, breathing in the fresh, ocean air. There is so much more I wanted to know! Can’t wait for the next book in the series 👑

This was a very cute, sweet and heartfelt second chance romance!

Odin and Camille met 10 years prior and during a whirl wind romance Odin broke Camille’s heart and now he finds that he needs her hand and her forgiveness!

I found Odin and his brothers were very charming and I loved how supportive the royal family was. Camille and Odin had a lot to work on and I love that they pushed each other and helped each other grow from their mistakes and misunderstandings.

Royal romances are often absurd but this was a stretch. A Royal who was on a Bachelor type TV show? It seemed like the author took the arranged royal marriage trope and then just stream of consciousness wrote.

Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the story of this royal romance. Odin and Camille reconnect after a decade, but will they like each other? How will this work out? Find out from each character’s perspective. Excellent detailed descriptions of Odin & Camille, along with the country of Laandia. I want to visit Laandia! Very excited to read the next book to find out what happens next. #RoyalRumble
