"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted

anticipating.
This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

YA, Contemporary
Meet Daisy Winters. She’s an
offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair; a part time job at a
bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who’s nearly engaged to the Crown
Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but
relentless tabloid attention forces her join Ellie at the relative seclusion of
the castle across the pond.
While the dashing young Miles has
been appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal, the prince’s roguish
younger brother kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take
Daisy along for the ride. The crown–and the intriguing Miles–might be trying to
make Daisy into a lady . . . but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to
suit herself.
My Thoughts
The premise of this book sounds so cute! It’s like one of
those cheesy, irresistible Hallmark royalty-romance movies! I’m a sucker for
princes, so that tidbit mixed with the fact that I love Rachel Hawkins’s Hex
Hall trilogy is making me really want to get my hands on this.
What’s not making me want to get my hands on this: that ugly
cover. It’s just trying too hard to be cute, ya know? I feel like it’s a cover
for a small girl, not a teenager. Oh well, maybe I’ll just check this one out
from the library and hope the paperback gets a new cover…
What book are you
waiting for this Wednesday?
Cute pick! While I loved Rachel's previous books, I am fearful this one isn't for me. I need a little paranormal or superpowers in my stories to get hooked in. I hope you love this one once you read it though!

Yeah, contemporary isn't my favorite genre anymore, but I do love royal plotlines.
DeleteI still haven't read Rachel Hawkins! I am not sure that this would be my kind of book though. I hope you love it, Rachelle!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd start with her Hex Hall trilogy. It's a cute paranormal series. :)
