Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown in this completely addictive modern-day royal romance.

The Washingtons have ruled America for almost 250 years.

They're gorgeous, fiercely famous and the beating heart of the most glorious royal court in the world.

But behind the glittering ballrooms, elegant gowns and seemingly perfect public personas lie forbidden romances and scandalous secrets. Together four young women will navigate gossip, drama, and the eyes of the world upon them.

There's everything to play for - but there can only be one queen.

This is the story of the most famous family in the world.

This is the story of the American royals.

Is it autumn 2020 yet, when the sequel will be released, as I really really want to read it?

There is so much left unsaid in this book that I need to the next book already, and just hope I can remember key things a year later!

I loved getting to know this American royal family. We get chapters focusing on four main females,,,

,,,Princess Beatrice who is first in line to the throne and will be America's first queen. She needs to commit to the crown over personal wishes, which can cause a romantic dilemma

... Princess Samantha who is Beatrice's younger sister, and just feels like she only exists as a spare, and I couldn't help but feel for her at times. 

.... Deidre who was Prince Jeff's girlfriend, until they split up and she is determined at all costs to get him back, no matter how dirty she plays

... commoner Nina, who is Samantha's best friend, and may just be interested in her brother Jeff, although she has major reservations 

These are four determined young women who know their mind, and are determined to get the men, and position they each want. 

I enjoyed getting to know all of them, even if I couldn't help but feel sorry for three out of four of them, their lives may look wonderful to the outside, but in the palace walls thing are not always as they seem. 

A really entertaining book, that I just wish could have gone on for longer, as I need to know what happens next. 

Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
