It's not easy being royal. Sixteen-year-old Evangeline wears her crown proudly, but between her duties and her overprotective big brother, the idea of romance is just a dream. But a chance encounter in Chicago changes all that….
Sure, seventeen-year-old Tyler Evans loves playing hockey, but he's more concerned about providing for his dad and little sister. Then he meets Eva--and falls head-over-heels in love—and he has two more problems. One, she's his best friend's little sister. Two, she wears a crown.
But then Eva accidentally mistakes Tyler for a visiting prince, and for the first time, Tyler doesn't feel like a nobody. He knows he has to tell her the truth…but not yet.
His plan? To keep up the royal charade as long as it takes to convince Eva he's the guy for her. Even if he's lying to everyone…including himself.
Disclaimer: May cause disillusionment. Those girls looking to find their Prince Charming might consider scouting out hockey rinks.
This was a great end to a very cute series. I'm so lucky to have followed this series through from the beginning. If you love sports/hockey romance, this is a great YA romance series to try out. That said, this is the third book of the series. It can be read on its own without missing out on much, but I still highly recommend you check out the previous books in the series.
In this book, we get to take a closer look at Tyler and Eva. I loved getting to know about each character's backstory. Even though we knew a little bit about them already, this really gave us a look at these complexities and challenges. I loved both the character development and growth together as a couple. They were both pretending to be other people in a way, so it was nice to see them learn how to be themselves.
It's a very cute, fun, quick read. It's fluffy and funny--just overall, a lovely series to breeze through over a weekend if you're in the mood for something light. I highly recommend it!
