Truly Madly Royally (Point Paperbacks)

Ashton Reed

3.75/5 stars

This is such a cute, light-hearted read!! So adorable!!

Personally, I love any kind of story with royals, even contemporary romance! That trope is one of my absolute favorites - who doesn’t want an actual Prince Charming to stumble upon and fall in love with?? I know I wouldn’t mind it… 

So with that being said, Truly Madly Royally hits the mark. It’s easygoing, fluffy, and swoon-worthy. Prince Owen is especially charming and (possibly too?) perfect!! His dynamic with the main character, Zora, is precious. The book doesn’t dodge any racial issues as well, addressing some struggles Zora especially faces as a young Black woman in her newfound spotlight. 

Overall, this was such an adorable, easy romance to fall in love with!! I do think it could’ve been more drawn out to create more depth, but I think it was just fine as it was. If you’re looking for a cute, fluffy royal read for the summer, look no further :))
