Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry John Edgar Thomas Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.
He’s not handling it well.
Hoping to help her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora agrees to give him "space"—but while the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:
Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.
A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.
While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.
The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit... and her naughty sense of humor.
But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.
As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

Oh how I loved this book. Prince Henry turned out to be so much more than the playboy he wanted everyone to see. I couldn't wait to see how spectacularly he'd fall!
Who would have thought a royal "Bachelor" type show would be something that would force the Crown Prince to step up, but that's exactly what happened. Henry, who was somewhat bitter and reluctant to do what he needed to do now that he was Crown Prince, figured being the bad boy everyone thought he was would solve his problems. In one way it did, buying him time to fall in love with unassuming Sarah. But it also ended up forcing Henry to grow up. To become the man his brother knew would step up to one day be king. To prove to himself that he was worth all of it.
While this might sound very angsty, there was still quite of a bit of the Emma Chase flair for comedy. There was still some laugh out loud moments that had me falling for Henry each and every time. Henry did everything he could to escape the responsibility that he eventually found was his calling.
ROYALLY MATCHED was another great Emma Chase book. I laughed, got a little emotional and fell hard for future King Harry. This is definitely a book you need to pick up.
