Royals

By: Rachel Hawkins

Narrated by: Amanda Leigh Cobb

New York Times best-selling author Rachel Hawkins serves up a deliciously royal romance, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Huntley Fitzpatrick.

Meet Daisy Winters. She's an offbeat 16-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 to 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.

New York Times best-selling author Rachel Hawkins brings her signature humor, love of Americana, and flair for romance to this addictive Princess Diaries-turned-upside-down story.

Critic reviews

"A crowning achievement...this is the pitch perfect teen movie of your dreams." (EW.com)

"Sweet, romantic, and adorable, fans of Meg Cabot will thoroughly enjoy Hawkins' latest!" (Buzzfeed)

"[A] beach-read-daydream of a novel.... Think Mia Thermopolis meets Pippa Middleton, dotted with romance and scandal for good measure." (Elite Daily)

Fall in love again

This was a fun story very well executed and makes you wanna fall in love all over again.

Funny entertaining and smart

With Prince Harry's wedding just around the corner, this book is THE best road companion for my 2h a day comute. I love it!

Really fun listen

Rachel Hawkins has never disappointed us. Her books are fun to listen to and the whole family always loves them. She writes great characters, and this book isn't really the type of book we normally like (sci-fi/fantasy all the way), but we all adored it. Loved the protagonist, but all of the side characters really shined just like in her Hex Hall books.

Well

It wasn't what I thought it would be. I was hoping for something more romantic.

Fun story- great listen

Amanda does a superb job narrating this story. It’s set in Scotland and I felt the accents were genuine. The story itself was pretty fun. Reminded me a bit of Princess Diaries/ Win a date with Tad Hamilton. I do wish there was a little more ... scandal... catharsis? I know it’s a YA novel but it was so utterly vanilla. But I enjoyed Hawkins writing style and the main character was overall relatable and likable! I think I’d like an Adult version of this book. Lol. Enjoyed it though. :)

Perfect

Was in a reading slump and needed a quick and fun read. This was EXACTLY what I needed! I fell in love with the characters and the witty sense of humor. I loved the way the narrator did the accents. I love the Scottish theme! I loved it!!

Fun, easy read

This is such a fun easy read. The characters are lovable for the most part. The narrator does an exceptional job adding emotion to the authors words. I will definitely be looking for more from the author. Just one of those books that leaves you in a good mood when finished.

Love me some Royal Snogging!

Let's just say this was such a fun book to listen to. I laughed so much while listening to this. The narrator was superb with all the accents and the snarky Daisy.... A girl after my own heart. I am a closet royalist seeing how my ancestry line goes back to King James and Queen Mary of Scotts. Too great of a book not to share. If you love all things Royal, and even if you don't, this book is a must read.

Irish accent made it impossible to listen to

I hated the the Irish accent she tried to do. Drove me nuts and couldn't finish the audio version. Ended up buying the regular book to finish it from Google play.

Loved it!

The performance was fantastic and really added to the overall story. Can't wait to find out if there's a sequel!
