Suddenly Royal (Royal, #1)

by Nichole Chase

Samantha Rousseau is used to getting her hands dirty. Working toward a master's degree in wildlife biology while helping take care of her sick father, she has no time for celebrity gossip, designer clothes, or lazy vacations. So when a duchess from the small country of Lilaria invites her to dinner, Samantha assumes it's to discuss a donation for the program. The truth will change the course of her life in ways she never dreamed.

Alex D'Lynsal is trying to keep his name clean. As crown prince of Lilaria, he's had his share of scandalous headlines, but the latest pictures have sent him packing to America and forced him to swear off women--especially women in the public eye. That is, until he meets Samantha Rousseau. She's stubborn, feisty, and incredibly sexy. Not to mention heiress to an estate in his country, which makes her everyone's front-page news.

While Sam tries to navigate the new world of politics and wealth, she will also have to dodge her growing feelings for Alex. Giving in to them means more than just falling in love; it would mean accepting the weight of an entire country on her shoulders.

The story is cute and Sam knows what she wants and who she is. She's a strong and dedicated woman. Clumsy is definitely not her middle name. One thing that makes her heart melt is her stepfather who takes care of her until he was diagnosed with Cancer. Sam's world began to turn upside down when she found out that she's a royal blood. It's not a typical Cinderella story as she doesn't need to be saved by his "Prince Yummy" (as what Jess would call him) because she, herself is a Duchess. I like the story and it's cute but I don't know why the author really have to make "falconry" or study of birds/raptors a big deal. She could've just used other interests. So disappointed that the sequel isn't told by Sam anymore, or the story has been changed to Catherine's perspective.
