I received an advance copy of The Royal Runaway from Gallery Books in exchange for an honest review.
I loved Princess Thea of Drieden. Thea's fiancé jilts her at the alter and she is sent off for a few months to get her self straight. Once Thea comes back from exile she is expected to resume her Royal duties. Thea decides she needs a little adventure and begins to sneak out of the castle to different pubs. This is where she meets Nick. Nick turns out to be a spy looking for Thea's ex-fiance. Thea gets blackmailed by Nick into helping him find Christian. Thea is a strong character and I loved her. She didn't want to stand by and let other people help her she wanted to be involved herself. This was a fun, quick romp of a read. It had romance, suspense and comedy. Everything you could want in a romance. This book did not disappoint! I hope to see more of Princess Thea. Have you read this one? If so what did you think?

Book: The Kennedy Debutante
Author: Kerri Maher Publisher: Berkley Publishing Stars: ***** I was thrilled to receive this book because I love all things Kennedy. I was that teenager buying a subscription to George even though I didn't know anything about Politics because I loved the Kennedy's so much. I like most people have heard about the Kennedy men; along with Rosemary and Eunice but I hadn't heard about Kick. Kerri Maher lets us into the world of the 4th Kennedy child Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy as she is being introduced into society in 1938. The book is a vivid history lesson and romance all rolled into one. It is also a testament to faith and family. The Kennedy's are definitely a loyal and faithful bunch. Kerri Maher did her research and brought this family and their friends to life for me. I felt like I was reading a biography on Kick and not a piece of fiction. You will find yourself rooting for Kick the entire novel. You know in your heart her life and the events of her life have already happened but you will catch yourself pulling for all the good things to fall into place for her, her family and her friends. Do yourself a favor and wait till after you read the book to google Kick. I think this book will be a hit. If you have any interest in the Kennedy's or you just like reading about strong women in history you should pick up this book. Do you love the Kennedy's as much as I do? Are their any books that I should pick up about them? I received this book as an advance copy from NetGalley and Berkley Publishing/Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review. |
