Ratings and reviews

3.5⭐ This is my first book by Romy Sommer and frankly, I wasn't sure what to expect, and whilst it's not my usual read I did find it to be a sweet, lighthearted, and somewhat fluffy tale. That although a little slow to develop was certainly pleasing to read; and even though I'm new to this series, and these characters I didn't have any problem following along. Yet, I did find it difficult to connect with certain characters who came across as a tad clichéd, but there were many others, I really liked and so, it was easy to overlook the faults of some, and there's, no denying It was easy and engaging. So, if you're looking for a clean royal romance, that is genuinely entertaining then, you should definitely check My Best Friend's Royal Wedding out. **I was kindly provided with an ARC via the Publisher in exchange for an honest review**

Khara is a cocktail waitress in Vegas, working her way through college. Her BFF is getting married to a minor European royal and Khara is going to be the bridesmaid. She's used to grabby customers, drunks and frat boys who think she's easy pickings but the loud, obnoxious group of eurotrash trust fund kids take the biscuit, especially the one who just assumed she'd be grateful to sleep with him - arrogant pig. Adam is minor eurotrash royalty, 'working' for his family's investment bank, sleeping his way round Europe, drinking and partying, until a friend's suicide acts as a wake-up call, but he feels powerless and guilty that he didn't know how bad his friend felt. Now he's best man at his cousin's wedding and intrigued by the bridesmaid who seems to regard him with disdain. If you liked The Princess Diaries, especially the sequel, or The Prince and Me (again especially the sequel) then this is right up your street. Tiny European principalities, entitled (literally) wealthy minor royalty and plucky Americans falling in love. Of course Khara has a great work ethic and principles despite having been brought up in a trailer park by a single mum. Of course Adam is a waster, despite having parents who are hard-working and principled. This felt like a very young book, as an over-50 I am definitely not the target audience but it was a fun read (and I am a closet fan of The Princess Diaries). I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

The story was a cute Rom Com about a reformed playboy royal and a down to earth waitress, it read like a Hallmark movie, only better! The story was more indephth and the characters more than one dimensional, scenery was very descriptive, I felt I was there. I read the book in a day!

About the author

Once upon a time, Romy dreamed of living inside one of the fairy tales in her head. As a 2016 finalist for the Romance Writers of America® RITA Award, and as Chairperson of ROSA (Romance writers Organisation of South Africa), all of Romy's dreams have come true. She is not only a multi-published author, but as a writing coach and teacher, she now helps make other writers' dreams come true too.

Though Romy's heart lies in Europe, she doesn't cope well with the cold, so she lives in sunny South Africa, in the City of Gold, Johannesburg, where she is mom to two little princesses and a pet dragon (okay, he's a bearded dragon, but that counts!)

She writes contemporary fairy tale romances and short 1920s historical romances.
