Alex's aunt has tracked Sam down and wants her accept her family estate and holdings and take a place on the queen's council. You see, Lilaria had some political strife in the 1800's, and members of the royal family were meeting with tragic “accidents” and so some members of the aristocracy packed up and fled in the night, including Sam's family. Imagine her surprise when she shows up to lunch and finds out she's really a duchess. Falconry is still a thing in Lilaria, apparently. When Sam receives an invitation to have lunch with the prince and his aunt, she assumes it has something to do with the wildlife sanctuary and a possible donation or sponsorship.

Her college campus is in an uproar because HRH Prince Alex D'Lynsal of Lilaria is in town. Samantha is interested in orinthology, specifically raptors, and she works at a wildlife center helping to rehabilitate birds. Like a true Disney heroine, Samantha's biological parents are gone. She's also taking care of her stepfather who is battling cancer. Our heroine is Samantha Rousseau, a graduate student studying biology. I felt like it was a book 15-year-old Elyse would have loved, but 30-year-old Elyse was lukewarm on.Ī word of warning, this book is written in first person POV, so if you hate that, you can stop reading now and go back to kitten GIFS. I had mixed feelings about the book, primarily because it read very much like a YA novel to me with the exception of the sex scenes. Suddenly Royal by Nichole Chase is a New Adult fairytale romance.
