Review: A Royal Shade of Blue

Book Review: Royal Shade of Blue, by Aven Ellis, 5 stars


 ✩✩


When art history student Clementine Jones receives a message complimenting her latest internship project, she doesn’t hesitate to answer it.
She never dreamed that this decision would not only change her life but the future of the British monarchy as well.
Her response leads Clementine to the mysterious CP Chadwick, a British man studying history at Cambridge. Clementine finds CP charming, smart, and unlike any man she’s ever met. Most of all, when she confides her medical past to CP, his perception of her doesn’t change. He doesn’t treat her as fragile like her parents do. CP sees her as normal, which is something she cherishes.
Clementine, however, has no idea that CP is actually Prince Christian of Wales, who has never had a “normal” life. Christian is at a crossroad. His destiny is to be a working royal, but he is desperate to fill that role in his own way. Wary of others, he’s kept himself closed off from the world—until he lets Clementine in.
A royal romance is never a fairy tale, but Clementine and Christian are determined to write their own version. Can they overcome their own fears—as well as the constraints of a royal life—to reach their own happily ever after?



Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: May 2018

Mature content: yes, but barely. Nothing graphic.

Review: Oh, I had so much fun with this book! When I picked it up I though it would be another silly, fairly-tale-like girl-meets-prince-and-lives-happily-ever-after story. And of course it is. But Aven Ellis manages to write all that silliness in a very compelling way. 
 

After the first few pages I got hooked into the story and just couldn't put it down. I was a bit disappointed when Christian revealed his true identity to Clementine so early into the book. I wondered what else the other 3/4 of the story would be about. And then those 3/4 of the story went by so quickly that now that I reached the end I'm already missing Christian, Clementine, her hysterically over protective parents and his royally dysfunctional family. 

Royal Shade of Blue is a book I totally recommend if you're looking for a fun, refreshing romance story. I loved it and I'm already pinning for the next story in the Modern Royals Series.


Happy readings,
