Review: The Royals Upstairs - Karina Halle - September 2024

There's something magical about receiving the perfect book at just the right moment. When "The Royals Upstairs" by Karina Halle arrived as a birthday gift from one of my wonderful bookstagram groups, I had no idea I was about to fall head over heels for this charming romance. Holding this paperback in my hands felt like unwrapping a cozy hug and that's exactly what this story delivered.

From the very first page, I was swept into pure Hallmark royal movie territory, and I mean that in the absolute best way. This book has all those deliciously swoon-worthy elements we crave: a brooding bodyguard, a spirited nanny, adorable royal children (who James hilariously describes as "demon children"), and a picturesque Norwegian estate that practically begs you to curl up with a warm blanket and get lost in its pages.

James Hunter and Laila Bruset's second-chance romance absolutely captivated me. There's something so beautifully real about their situation ,they share this complicated history, unresolved feelings, and an attraction that crackles off the page. James took a position protecting Prince Magnus expecting adventure, only to find himself isolated in the Norwegian countryside and face-to-face with the one woman he's never forgotten. Meanwhile, Laila accepted the nanny position to be near her ailing grandmother, never imagining her past would come knocking at the castle door.

What I loved most was watching these two navigate their undeniable chemistry while managing meddling staff, rambunctious royal children, and their own wounded hearts.

This isn't just a fluffy royal romance. It's a story about second chances, forgiveness, and deciding what you're truly willing to risk for love. The Norwegian setting adds such warmth and charm, making you feel like you're right there experiencing every stolen glance and heated moment.

If you're looking for a romance that feels like coming home ,complete with royal intrigue, heartfelt emotion, and chemistry that absolutely sizzles "The Royals Upstairs" is your perfect match. It's the kind of book that reminds you why we fall in love with love stories in the first place.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...
