For fans of Bridget Jones and The Princess Diaries comes a laugh-out-loud, feel-good comedy with a sizzling side of romance…

Ultra-private, ridiculously handsome Crown Prince Arthur has always gotten by on his charm. But that won’t be enough now that the Royal Family is about to be ousted from power once and for all. When Prince Arthur has to rely on the one woman in the kingdom who hates him most, he must learn that earning the love of a nation means first risking his heart.

Twenty-eight-year-old Tessa Sharpe, a.k.a. The Royal Watchdog, hates everything about Prince Arthur. As far as she’s concerned, he’s an arrogant, lazy leech on the kingdom of Avonia. When he shocks the nation by giving her the keys to the castle, Tessa has no choice but to accept and move in for two months. It’s lust at first sight, but there’s no way she can give in to her feelings—not if she wants to have a career or a shred of pride left when her time at the palace ends…

Can two natural enemies find their forever in each other’s arms, or will they ruin each other to save themselves?

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars I LOVED this book because of the humor. If you want a light, laugh out loud book look no further. I was laughing through the whole book even the end. I highly suggest giving this one a read if you haven't. Along with the humor you also get romantic, swoon worthy moments. Tessa and Prince Arthur never met, but Tessa is not a fan of the royal family. Arthur wants to change the perception of the royal family so he thinks winning over Tessa is the ticket. From there let the hilarity ensue. I'm really looking forward to more from this series because I'm so sold on it!

First, this book is a lot of laughs. Imagine the worst, most embarrassing things that could happen to someone publicly, and this book has it. Shock Jogger… best scene ever. Even better when the Prince watched it. I about peed in my pants I was laughing so hard on that scene. Tessa, the female protagonist, is intelligent and comes from an intelligent family—her brothers are engineers to dentists. However, she finds herself in the most embarrassing situations, from saying the wrong thing to her heel breaking during a ball. Hence, she is the joke of the family, and I will say the way Tessa’s family treated her was just appalling. She really had to grow some thick skin to deal with her family, which in turn helped her when she humiliated herself on world-wide television. Prince Arthur, the male protagonists, invites Tessa to spend two months with the royal family since she is their worst critic and he needs to get her to change her opinion or the family is going to get booted from the crown and the monarch will dissolve. Of course, you can garner what happens when a man and woman live together for any period of time. As a couple, they were truly adorable. They both have a great sense of humor, and Arthur especially is a dream. For a man not be offended whenever someone says something negative about them speaks volumes of his character. In fact, he encouraged it because it only helped him realize his flaws, and he learned to grow from them. Truly loved Arthur. Oh, and Arthur’s grandmum was a real hoot! OMG, this woman was just as hilarious as Tessa’s faux pas. A dowager princess, she lived her life being prim and proper, but now in her 80s, she decides screw it and says and does whatever fancies her. It’s ridiculously entertaining. She is a top favorite character. I see that Summers is writing another book on the Tessa and Arthur. After witnessing how she can easily gut you in this book and reading the synopsis, I’m going to have to take a long break before reading that one. Though it is sure to be full of even more laughs, the synopsis is foreboding and makes me want to shy away from it. I can only take so much drama at once. 4.5 Stars

This was laugh out loud fun for me. Tessa is an amazing woman, truly working to build her career but has a knack for having ordinary situations turn into news worthy incidents. It’s almost like a cloud follows her and no matter how great something goes, there will be that moment that we’ve all experienced where it goes wrong and is just funny. She is building a blog as a royal watcher and becomes their harshest critic. When the royal family finds that their status is being threatened, Arthur, the prince, decides to bring Tessa into the palace to prove her wrong. As Arthur works to win her over, Tessa fights her attraction to him and works to stay objective. There are several hilarious moments along the way along with a slow burning romance. A wonderful escape that will make you smile. I voluntarily read an ARC provided by NetGalley of this book and this is my honest review.
