I really enjoyed this story and the different slant it gave to the royal family. The characters were well written and easy to engage with.
Regally Blonde was not the light, funny read I anticipated. Beneath the surface of this love story, are themes of mental health, friendship, and personal growth.
It took me a little while to get fully immersed in the story, as the first characters introduced didn’t feel particularly likable or relatable, which made it hard to connect with. However, things shifted once Alice arrived in Scotland. The setting and her journey brought a new depth to the narrative, and I found myself becoming more invested in the characters and their development. The plot gained momentum as well, though I did find myself using my Kindle’s dictionary now and then to look up some of the Scottish words and expressions—definitely a learning curve, but it added an authentic touch to the story.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I was so excited to be selected for this ARC! I fell in love with the title and premise of this novel. I love all things Scotland and it sounded so cute!
After her royal life is becoming too much for her parents, Alice is sent away to Balmoral Castle in Scotland where she finds there is more to life than being royal (and finds some romance too).
Immediately I loved Alice! She just felt like such a real character to me and someone I’d definitely want to be friends with. I really appreciated the inclusion of mental health representation throughout the novel.
After she arrives in Scotland, I love how Sophie immediately jumps into action and becomes Alice’s best friend, showing her what true friendship looks like for the first time in her life. She is one of my all time favorite supporting characters.
I loved her relationship with Fraser and how he helped her become a better person. He was so understanding and patient with Alice and I love how he helped her come out of her shell and be the best version of ourselves.
Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reader’s copy of this book! 💕
I actually really enjoyed this book. I have always loved Scotland and something about Balmoral just makes my heart soar. Megan Clawson just did it again! I thought the love story was brilliant and organic. So fun and silly.
This was a cute royalty book that had a little bit more drama than I anticipated. I do like the mental illness representation but I was really irritated with the relationships that Alice had with her parents. I really enjoyed the connection with the main characters by the end but the middle with all the drama was not my favorite. I did love sweet Mrs. Buchanan and loved all the touches that made me feel like I was really in Scotland.
From the off I fell in awe of Alice, i knew she was going to be my favourite Royal written by Megan. Her journey of self awareness and new found confidence and lease of life was an absolute joy to read and one I blasted through in 5 hours. I loved watching her budding romance unfold and seeing her friendship with Sophie grow stronger was such an incredible subplot. Alice is a wonderful FMC and I knew Atticus would turn out the way he did - may have laughed out loud at the end of office conference scene. Thank you Avon for sending me an invitation to read and review this third instalment in Megan’s Royal series, I’m so excited to see what she creates next
Megan Clawson is quickly becoming the Queen of Royal Rom-Coms - and I'm all for it! Overall, Legally Blonde was exactly what we've come to love in the way of storytelling by Clawson. The character development of Lady Alice from start to finish was superb - and I loved the supporting cast of characters at Balmoral! The way she addressed trauma and mental health was also sensitively well done.
I can't wait to meet the next royal family troublemaker in her next book!
I absolutely loved this adorable story about Lady Alice!! After she was banished to Scotland, I found myself rooting for her every step of the way. The plot was well developed and although a few parts were a bit slow, I flew through this story! It was the perfect story to read on a snowy day with a nice cup of coffee. I can’t wait to read more by this author. Thank you netgalley and publisher for the advanced copy. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars!
I am a huge sucker for anything that has a Irish or Scottish love story in it and this was no exception! Very cute and fun. Loved the cover!
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were relatable and endearing, and the plot was interesting and never left me bored! It was a little slow in places but nothing too crazy. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Charming, fast read. Great bit of escapism for a snowy afternoon by the fire
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
What a delightful five-star read. This is one of those stories that you kind of know what you are going to get, but hen it turns it upside down and makes you love it so much more, I loved Love at first Knight and Falling hard for the Royal guard, and had high hopes for this one, and I am so happy that it didn’t disappoint. There was something about Fraser that just warmed your heart, his dedication to others shone through and made your heart sing. Lady Alice was a little annoying, but then you get to know the real Alice and you start to really fall for her, and her grit and determination will wow you. This is a great story and filled with characters you cant help but fall for, I for one am excited to see who we will be hearing from next.
An enjoyable read with Lady Alice, a vacuous socialite ‘princess’ is banished to Balmoral after partying just a little too hard!
Great setting, fun characters and an absorbing read.
REGALLY BLONDE REVIEW 👑 ✨💕 release date: 3/27/25
Y’all! This was the sweetest story ever! I’m a sucker for anything dealing with royalty and this was PERFECT. I loved starting off the year with it. I loved Alice and Fraser and their slow burn for each other. It was so special watching Alice (FMC) progress through the book and I loved all the side characters 💖 I can’t wait to read Other books by Megan
In this book you’ll find:
✨ reverse grumpy vs sunshine
✨slow burn
✨mental health rep
✨found family
Lady Alice is sent to Balmoral in disgrace, to decide what she wants to do with her life as a member of privileged royalty, which she hates. There, she makes the first 2 genuine friends in her life, bur what does the future hold? Perfect reading for a cold winter's day or holidays.
Regally Blonde by Megan Clawson is my first book by this author, but will most definitely not be my last.
After one too many excessive actions, Lady Alice is sent to Balmoral by her parents to get a grip on reality and to start acting properly. While there she is awakened each morning by piper, Fraser Bell, who is as far from Alice as can be socially and emotionally. To each of their surprise, they grow to like each other and dare I say, "like" each other.
Embracing the new scenery, albeit reluctantly at first, Alice deals with her mental health issues, finds her own happiness, and a friendship to romance with Fraser.
Can they overcome the difference in their stations? Read it and find out, you won't be sorry.
I really enjoyed this book, the author made me like Alice, despite her attitude at the beginning of the book and sense of entitlement.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book, I'll be checking out Megan Clawson's backlist for further books to enjoy.
A light and enjoyable book. The live story came out of nowhere in my opinion; no flirting, no tension just obvious it would happen as he was the only male character around. The mental health representation was great and wish it just focused on her growth instead.
Loved every moment! This book is like a warm hug. I love how much it celebrates the power of love and never to settle for anything less than what we deserve!
Lady Alice has all the privilege in the world but none of the happiness. When she’s exiled to Balmoral, she doesn’t expect to be so impacted by the people and place. I adore Scotland, and the author did justice by it. Scotland and its people are pivotal for Alice’s perspective shift. Though I found some of the relationship dynamics clunky, it was overall charming, especially the side characters. I appreciated the focus on Alice’s reflections and really digging into mental health and seeing her come full circle.
This was my second book to read by Megan Clawson, and it was so lovely. We start out with Lady Alice struggling to find her place in London and see how being sent to Scotland renews her. The theme of finding and making your own family is strong, and I love it.
