The Royal Arrangement

Very intriguing story and storyline! I really tend to enjoy the royal storylines and plots, because every girl grows up wanting to be a princess. While it is a romance book, we also get elements of suspense in addition to some comedy through the archaic rules set for the royals. This book delivers with just that – Prince Henry is required to have a wife or he cannot fulfill his birthright as king once his father passes. With his father being sick, he knows time is of the essence, and when he finds a woman he is enthralled with, he decides to pursue her with everything he has with some added bonuses. Everly has grown up somewhat docile and complacent in her life, but also doing what she loves within a foundation. After finding out her father wasn’t who she though he was though in addition to her ex, she is starting to question everything. As the book progresses, both Everly and Henry’s personal situations become a risk, causing Henry to propose a mutually beneficial agreement for the pair to resolve both their problems, and ends with Everly agreeing to his terms. I feel like we miss a lot of background information and character building for Everly, and I would have loved a prequel specifically for her to give us that background to make for a more enjoyable read. Overall, with this being my first book from Jeana, I enjoyed it and am eager for the next installment in this duet to see how the arrangement goes.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Not a standalone story, that should have been made clear

Prince Henry's story is well written with lots of twists. Nicky turns out to be a scoundrel siding in with Don who wants to destroy his brother. When Don has Prince Henry's father killed and he becomes King, he takes the time to Mary his Queen and Don is livid that his daughter turned him in as a murderer and married his enemy King Henry....look forward to finding out what happens in the next book....April H, FL
