Prince Charming by Rachel Hawkins

Prince Charming (Royals, #1)

by Rachel Hawkins

Originally published as "Royals," this fun, witty romance is perfect for fans of the Princess Diaries.

"A crowning achievement . . . this is the pitch perfect teen movie of your dreams." —EW.com

"A delightful romp of a book for when you need to bliss out with a light romance starring a sweet and snarky heroine." —NPR

Meet Daisy Winters. She's an offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair, a part time job at a bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who's nearly engaged to the Crown Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her join Ellie at the relative seclusion of the castle across the pond. 

While the dashing young Miles has been appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal, the prince's roguish younger brother kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take Daisy along for the ride. The crown--and the intriguing Miles--might be trying to make Daisy into a lady . . . but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to suit herself.  

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins brings her signature humor, love of Americana, and flair for romance to this page-turning Princess Diaries turned-upside-down story.

What a charming read! Haha, get it? Get it? This had well-written characters, really good writing, and a fun story. It was such a fast read too - I flew through it. Some of it (a lot of it) felt a little far-fetched and there were times I was rolling my eyes a bit, usually when Prince Sebastian was around.

That said, I'm definitely going to look into the next book in the series.
