Book Review: Royal Rumble

 

Prince Odin of Laandia and Lady Camille of Saint Pierre are getting married. The story of their whirlwind romance is sweet and swoon-worthy and completely made up.


Camille

I need a husband and the second son of the King of Laandia just proposed.

Sort of. 

Because of some archaic, idiotic 18th-century French rule, I need to be married before I take over as ruler of my tiny island nation. And after Prince Odin’s quick exit from The Suitorette reality romance show, it’s obvious he’s looking to make a match.

The only problem? Ten years ago, Prince Odin broke my heart. And he just told the world all about it. 

I’ve got to marry him, but I’m not in the mood to forgive him. 


Odin

On paper, Lady Camille is the perfect choice for a royal bride. Smart, beautiful, ready to rule—but it’s the sharp-tongue temper and the tendency to hold grudges that has me worried. 

Yes, we have a past, but it was one night, ten years ago. And several—hundred—letters. I thought she would have gotten over it. 

I thought I might have gotten rid of her letters before now too. 

When I suggested Lady Camille as my bride, it was a good PR move after my reality romance humiliation. But seeing her again brings back memories I thought I’d forgotten

The wedding will be in six weeks, but will Camille forgive me before it happens? And what kind of marriage will we have if she doesn’t?


My Review

I liked this book. Readers of romcoms and other contemporary romances will want to check out this book. The sweet romance is a good touch. You will laugh while reading this book. 

Odin is a bit grumpy. Which I really enjoy reading grumpy/sunshine romances. Instantly, I connected with Camille. All I knew in the beginning that Odin stopped responding to Camille's letters years ago and that was enough for me to not like him either for breaking Camille's heart. 

Yet, as I got to know Odin better, I did warm up to him. The chemistry between Odin and Camille was a slow burn. They shared some sweet moments. I look forward to continuing this series. 


Royal Rumble is an arranged royal marriage, enemies-to-lovers, closed-door sweet romantic comedy full of missed opportunities and adorable dogs, sword fighting and snowballs.

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes.
