Royals

Daisy just wants to be a normal girl living in her normal town working at her normal grocery store job.  Then she and her normal best friend will go to Key Con and meet their favorite author.  Normal Florida life. 

Except...her older sister went to college in the UK where she met Alex who just happens to be the crown prince of Scotland, and now they are getting married.  Which is great for perfect Ellie over in Europe except it's bleeding into Daisy's life in Florida. 

Her now ex-boyfriend tried to sell their prom pictures to the paparazzi, and now the Palace has decided Daisy should spend the next few weeks in Scotland instead of going to Key Con.

She's furious, but she doesn't really have a choice.  Her parents are persuaded and Ellie is adamant. 

So Daisy reluctantly heads to Scotland where she discovers that while Alex is great, his younger brother is an entitled trouble magnet. Even when she's just trying to stay out of his way, she somehow gets the blame.  Enter the younger prince's best friend/babysitter.  The palace has decided Miles and Daisy should have a fake relationship to throw off the paparazzi. 

Ugh.  Miles is a snob who seems incapable of smiling, but he is pretty cute.  After some time together this fake relationship just might have some real potential.

Rachel Hawkins's new book is for everyone who's sad the royal is over and loves a Hallmark movie.  It's a silly bit of diverting fluff, but that's all it aims to be.  Just go in looking to be entertained for a few hours, and you'll enjoy it.  Also, you have to pretend Scotland is an independent nation from Great Britain.  I wish there had been an author's note about this since a lot of readers will ignorant of the facts.
