[Review] Royals - Rachel Hawkins

Summary: Meet Daisy Winters. She’s an offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair; a part time job at a bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who’s nearly engaged to the Crown Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her join Ellie at the relative seclusion of the castle across the pond.

While the dashing young Miles has been appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal, the prince’s roguish younger brother kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take Daisy along for the ride. The crown—and the intriguing Miles—might be trying to make Daisy into a lady…but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to suit herself. (Pub Date: May 01, 2018)

I can't help but want more!

She's not even marrying the prince but Daisy needs a crash course on royal etiquette, a makeover, avoiding paparazzi and a very handsome prince, because her older sister is marrying the heir to the Scottish throne.

This was fun! Even though it was a slow beginning—20% until we even meet the boys!—, even that initial part kept me entertained. Daisy is a good character to follow, it's not hard to cheer for her, and all the others were just as nice.

At first, I wasn't sure who her pairing was, maybe because of so many books using the cliché I was convinced it was the prince, as weird as it'd make things. Even then, I already liked the story. But finding out—or remembering, since it's in the summary...—it was Miles, made me even happier. In other words, we have some sort of a triangle that either options were satisfying.

Unfortunately, there wasn't anything I could call unique or spectacular to earn it five stars. Still, it's the perfect read to take your mind off things. Recommended for anyone needing some fun romance.
