Review: Irresistibly Yours - Book #1 Oxford Magazine Series - Lauren Layne - October 2015 I read one of the books in this series a wee while ago and loved it and when I was scrolling and tidying up my kindle, I came across this one. Lately, I have struggled with romance reads as just found them blah and not grabbing me.

On the day of her graduation, the letters changed and became more adventurous. Soon Evie is at Oxford University where she is about to meet a group of new friends that includes the Prince of England along her journey, she is about to learn of her royal lineage as she learns about a young woman who...
