Steamy. The only word that I could think of for this novel! I was supposed to describe this book with another word but it would be too aggressive. I have to consider the people who followed my blog. Who knows that there are readers who are below 18 years of age.
I just have this feeling that I need to put that disclaimer.
Royally Screwed is a fast-paced read and I’m glad that it was a light one to contrast the fantasy books that I’ve been reading. I’m kind of hesitating but I didn’t expect that I would enjoy this book. Aside from Colleen Hoovers amazing New Adult Romance Collection, there are only few New Adult authors I’ve been following and I’m not a fan of naked man on covers. Why would publishers allow those kind of covers, anyway? HOW COULD I DISPLAY SUCH A BOOK ON MY SHELF WHEN MY FAMILY IS CONSERVATIVE TO THE PUREST OF THE PURE?
I like the thought of Royalty in general in Royally Screwed but didn’t expect that I will like the story as well as the characters. They are lovely and it amazed me that this book is not just full of sex, the characters are talking to each other – they are communicating with each other and getting to know which is a good and a strong point for the book if you are going to put your perspective on the side of having relationships or building a relationship. Another downside from this book is that Prince Nicholas is too horny. I apologize for using this term but it felt like this book is on the verge to become an erotic novel.
This book has less drama and heartaches compare to new adult books that discuss too much pain and heart-breaking scenarios. I commend Emma Chase for writing a positive book that promotes love, fighting, and choices. It made me laugh because of the stinginess of the characters and hello, Ellie! I just adore that child in the book because she knows what she wants for her sister, Olivia. There are bits of provoking words for the female protagonist but it is too realize that the world of the Prince is difficult. There are times that he has to please people or to put on a wall to protect himself. It was crazy and insane.
The thing is, what struck me the most is the description of the place! I wanted to go there, I wanted to try to live in the palace. I wonder what it feels like to be a royalty much to live in a beautiful place. It was way beyond my imagination but I wouldn’t entertain the possibility as it is impossible in every way.
Royally Screwed is a happy and short read if you are looking for some distraction from that heavy fantasy or science-fiction books. This book could be the book you want to read. Beware too many smutty scenes that are inappropriate for a child.
