Review: The Backup Princess

✩✩✩✩

Taking the bull by the horns is child's play compared to ruling Malveaux. Yet here I am, a Texas girl turned princess, swapping tacos for a tiara.

Then I meet Europe’s most eligible bachelor, the irritatingly handsome Prince Alexander, and accidentally deck him instead of curtsying.

Oops.

I’d feel bad if he wasn’t such a self-satisfied jerk.

Now, I'm racing against a royal clock that ticks with the urgency of a preening peacock, trying not to let down my newfound country or my own wild heart. Alexander? He's a walking contradiction, with a smirk that heats my blood and eyes that tell tales of a depth I didn't expect.

Decisions aren't exactly my rodeo, but this time, my choice could cost me my new crown—or lead to a love story that rewrites my happily ever after.

Will this Texas girl rise to the royal challenge, or is this one fairytale destined to end with the slipper never found?

Review: The Backup Princess is a fun, clean romance story about a Texas girl who is suddenly thrown into the limelight by becoming heir to a small European kingdom, and then falls in love with the heir to the neighboring kingdom (yes, not one but two made up kingdoms somewhere in southern Europe).

It deserved a bit better editing in places and the plot is not original and entirely predictable. But, again, it's a fun, light read, fairy-tale-ish story and if you love the genre you should give it a try.

Happy readings!
