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.

Before you read my review, check out the trailer!

 

First of all, can we talk about the cover lottery that Chase has won here… I look at these first two books and I find it hard to decide which one is better!

Henry was thrust into a world where he has to be respectable and responsible and he is nowhere near ready.  When his brother Nicholas gives up his place in line as Prince of Wessco for love, Henry suddenly has to step up even if it’s the last thing he wants to do.

To say he’s not ready would be an understatement.  Several public gaffes have Queen Lenora on edge and worried about the future of Wessco, but Henry’s brother Nicholas has all the confidence in the world in him and suggests the Queen give him the space to learn the ins and outs of the kingdom.  Two weeks later, Henry finds himself banished to the middle of nowhere, otherwise known as Anthorp Castle.

Bored out of his mind, he suddenly remembers the American TV Producer he met a couple weeks earlier who wanted him to take part in a reality show…. Matched: Royal Edition.

Twenty young, beautiful, royals for Henry to pick from sounds like the perfect distraction from the mess that is his real life.

What Henry doesn’t count on is Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum.

Sarah lives a bit of a predictable life and she’s happy with things the way they are.  She loves her job at the library but when her boss springs a public speech on her, she has to figure out a way to get over her fear… and then the perfect opportunity arrives… an official Act of Royalty.

Sarah isn’t taking part in the show, but she’s there to keep an eye on her reckless sister.  What she finds instead is a Prince Henry that is nothing like the public persona he shows the world.

Once again, Chase had me hook, line and sinker with this story.  Henry isn’t this playboy prince that everyone thinks, he’s so much deeper than that and watching him and Sarah connect and bond and obviously get closer than either expected was so lovely.   Of course, Sarah has to watch on the sidelines while Henry goes on dates with 20 other gorgeous women and even though nothing is happening with them, she can’t help but wonder what exactly goes on when he’s alone with them.

Henry revels in the attention, but he can’t seem to get Sarah out of his mind.

Becoming the man and prince he’s supposed to be is harder than he could have imagined … but with Sarah as the prize he’s got to decide if she’s worth the hard work!

I adore Henry – I loved him in book 1 and I loved him in book 2 and I’ll love him in any and every future book too.  He’s adorably irresponsible and crazy and sweet and I dare you to read this and not love him too.

Once again Chase has written a wonderfully fun story.  From the drama with the royal ladies to the antics of Prince Henry you’ll be riveted to the pages.  I will say that you wait quite a bit for the steam in this installment, but it’s so, so worth it.

Again, if you’re a fan of well-done, fun, sweet, sexy romance then this is a series for you.  I am incredibly excited for the next book, and can’t wait to find out just who it’s about!

Thank you to the publisher for an early copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

About the book:

Claire has always wanted to work with superheroes, from collecting Warrior Nation cards as a kid to drafting "What to Say to a Hero" speeches in her diary. Now that she's landed a coveted internship with the Chicago branch of Warrior Nation, Claire is ready to prove she belongs, super or not. But complicating plans is the newest WarNat hero, Girl Power (aka Joy), who happens to be egotistical and self-important . . . and pretty adorable.

Bridgette, meanwhile, wants out of WarNat. After years of dating the famous Vaporizer (aka Matt), she's sick of playing second, or third, or five-hundredth fiddle to all the people-in-peril in the city of Chicago. Of course, once Bridgette meets Claire-who's clearly in need of a mentor and wingman-giving up WarNat becomes slightly more complicated. It becomes a lot more complicated when Joy, Matt, and the rest of the heroes go missing, leaving only Claire and Bridgette to save the day.

In this fresh and funny take on the world of supers, author Crystal Cestari spotlights what it's like to be the seemingly non-super half of a dynamic duo with banter-filled romance and bold rescues perfect for readers seeking a great escape.

Instagram post 2195849332819842093_56090291 What is the last book series you completed? I finished Queen of Nothing a couple of weeks ago and still am thinking about it randomly. I was lucky enough to have gotten my hands on the @illumicrate TCP box and it was so amazing! I love this pin so much and the quote is a favorite! But that book😍 there was so much amazing in this box I can’t wait to show it all to you!
.
I’m in Detroit just doing a bit of work before I pack up to head to the airport for my flight home! One day trips are hard lol.
Plus I broke my phone cord so I have to conserve my battery so I probably won’t be on here until I get home and can plug in! I hope you have an amazing day!

I’m going to be a black sheep here and say that this one didn’t capture my attention when I tried to read it the first time, but after some trusted book people raved to me about it I ended up putting it back on my #tbrshelf to give it another go! As a mood reader I have to be in just the right frame of mind for stories like this one so I’m going to try again soon!
.
Got any fun plans for the weekend? None for me, I’m just going to relax a bit and maybe possibly put up the tree? Who knows! I like to keep my options open! Lol .

Instagram post 2188594682546619363_56090291 Happy #stacksaturday - what is the book you recommend most often? For me it’s probably #illuminaefiles - I actually just convinced a coworker to download the audio and start it! I love peeking under the jackets of these and finding new things and just saw the “everyone deserves a second chance” on there! (Do they though? Lol)
.
I’m on the end of my PTO that I took and was really good about not checking e-mail etc so I’m kind of already dreading what Monday will bring! Not going to think about it though - I finished 8 books and hope to complete #9 and 10 over the next few days too! It was glorious!

My Instagram app was among those that crapped out yesterday for a bit - I had just uninstalled and reinstalled because all week I had been having trouble with accessing my saved draft images and so I kind of panicked a bit not knowing what had happened when I reinstalled and couldn’t log in! Thankfully I am back but have to pull all my draft images back in - something for me to do later today I suppose!
.
I’m in the car and on my way home for hopefully a relaxing remainder of the weekend!  What are you up to?

I’m in the car on the way to my grandmas to see family and I’m trying not to be irritated with my insta app because it keeps shutting down when I try to get into my saved images. I’m hopeful I don’t need to uninstall and reload because I’m also afraid I’ll loose all 140+ pictures!
.
I should tell you all what I’m thankful for but that list would be long, please know you are all on it and I’m thankful for this place that gives me a bit of a break from the real life stress!

I am also thankful for this novella from @themackenzilee because it was absolutely wonderful and i adore Monty and Percy so very much! Go grab it ASAP and if you haven’t started this series do it immediately!
