"For a party planner in awe of the royals, daydreams fit for a queen might come true in a captivating romantic comedy by Sariah Wilson. For as long as she can remember, Everly Aprile has been obsessed with the Monterran royals, especially Queen Kat: elegant, self-possessed, and living a fairy-tale romance. As for Everly, her career as an event planner has stalled--and so has her love life. Then a wealthy new client wants a sweet-sixteen party that's fit for an American princess. Practicing her 'What Would Kat Do' mantra, Everly offers to bring it to life by immersing herself in everything Monterra. Call it intervento divino when she meets dizzyingly handsome and charismatic Max Colby, who's relocated stateside from the Monterran kingdom of her dreams. If Everly promises to be his New York City guide, he'll teach her the customs and culture of Monterra so her party gets a boost of authenticity. Deal. As their friendship grows, Everly starts falling--but for what? Another unattainable obsession? Max is such a dreamboat that surely he sees her as just a friend. Her royal to-do list is in order. She's revamping her life and learning to believe in herself. Maybe, just maybe, there's a chance for fate to bring Everly her happily ever after after all." -- No library descriptions found. |

Everly Aprile’s one of those easily relatable characters you want to cheer for. As a lover of all things Monterran, she eagerly anticipates anything Queen Kat does or wears & wants her own fairytale romance. After several years working as her handsome boss’ right hand at an event planning company, she’s finally given a chance to plan a 16 year old b-day party with a Monterran theme which’ll hopefully earn her the promotion she deserves. She’s also had an unrequited crush on her boss until she finds out he’s engaged.
When her snarky yet endearing roommate suggests she go out & meet someone, she ends up finding a dreamy guy newly relocated from Monterra. He offers to explain Monterran customs if she’ll be his unofficial tour guide. The sparks fly as these two get to know each other. But, can Everly let go of her insecurities & trust that he cares about her too?
I loved this story! Everly has a lot of self doubt mainly because of her father. Though she’s extremely talented, she’s never pushed for recognition. Things change when she meets Max & he encourages her to throw a baby shower for his cousin. I loved all the behind the scenes party planning as well as all the fabulous iconic New York places they visit like the Empire State Building. Max has his own secrets & I have to admit while I had my suspicions, I didn’t see a particular twist coming. It was so well done. I also loved Everly’s roommate Vella. She’s described as a grown up Wednesday Addams. I loved her snarky personality & how she was so fiercely protective of Everly. I’d love to get her story!
Everly’s & Max’s romance was full of sizzling kisses & attraction. I loved all those near kisses & sweet hand kisses too. I also enjoyed the growth these characters go through as they learn to better communicate. I also loved Everly gaining more confidence in herself & her desirability.
Highly recommend to closed door romcom fans! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley but also purchased through Kindle Unlimited. All opinions are my own & voluntarily provided. (
