Title: The Royal Runaway
Author: Lindsay Emory
Genre: Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5
Thea just wants a night out on the town without the pressures of her job breathing down her neck. But, as Princess Theodora Isabella Victoria of Drieden of the Royal House Laurent, a no-stress night out of the castle isn’t really an option. Except Thea’s been sneaking out of the castle for years.
It’s been a rough four months since Thea was left at the altar. She was exiled until the rumors died down, but now she’s back on princess duty: attending a myriad of events, all with her perfect princess smile firmly in place.
But on her secret night out, she meets Nick, a sexy Scottish stranger, and decides it might be time to stick her toe in the waters of romance again. Until Nick turns out to be a British spy in search of his brother—Thea’s ex-fiancé—and intent on uncovering the conspiracy behind his disappearance. Even if it goes all the way to the crown.
I thoroughly enjoyed this snarky, page-turning read. Thea’s rebelliousness was fun to read, and she’s down-to-earth for a princess (not that I know any). Nick was a perfect foil for her attitude and adventuresome spirit, and their banter made this even more fun to read.
Lindsay Emory is a Texan and an author. The Royal Runaway is her newest novel.
