My Best Friend’s Royal Wedding by Romy SommerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
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 now 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.
