Life is real enough for Dylan—especially as the ordinary younger sister of Dusty, former Miss Mississippi and the most perfect, popular girl in Tupelo. But when Dusty wins the hand of the handsome Scottish laird-to-be Ronan on the TRC television network’s crown jewel, Prince in Disguise, Dylan has to face a different kind of reality: reality TV.
As the camera crew whisks them off to Scotland to film the lead-up to the wedding, camera-shy Dylan is front and center as Dusty’s maid of honor. The producers are full of surprises—including old family secrets, long-lost relatives, and a hostile future mother-in-law who thinks Dusty and Dylan’s family isn’t good enough for her only son. At least there’s Jamie, an adorably bookish groomsman who might just be the perfect antidote to all Dylan’s stress . . . if she just can keep TRC from turning her into the next reality show sensation.
This books comes out tomorrow and if you are looking for a feel-good, cute story, then this is definitely for you. From a literary standpoint, no, this book won’t win any awards, but if you are looking for a swoon-worthy love interest then this is the story for you.
As I mentioned above this story has a super loveable love interest, and his name is Jamie. He is the perfect boy for basically any girl who has ever breathed – he’s one of my new favorite male love interests. He was funny, witty, smart, kind, caring, PERFECT.
Another aspect I loved in this book wasn’t just romantic love, but also the familial love that was present. I loved that it was real and didn’t hold back from the unattractive times that families go to, but in the end, they still loved and cared for each other.
I am glad that they showed the real feelings of a girl meeting her dad for the first time in 16 years, and I think the way that she reacted was valid and true for most everyone who has gone through something similar. I like that this book didn’t shy away from the real parts of life.
Sure, this book is unrealistic in some parts, I mean it revolves around a girl whose sister’s wedding to an undercover royal is being broadcasted on their version of TLC. That alone is unrealistic, but more than anything this story was so much fun. It’s the perfect book to curl up with a fire on and a nice warm beverage of your choice.
As I mentioned above, this book comes out December 19th and I strongly suggest you checking this book out! I ended up giving this book a 4/5 stars.
