Suddenly Royal Review

Suddenly Royal by Nichole Chase This reminded me a lot of The Princess Diaries (Meg Cabot). But Samantha isn't a geeky awkward high schooler. She's a graduate student who is helping take care of her ailing father and working towards being a Wildlife Biologist. One day some Lilarian royalty comes to campus, Sam tries her best to ignore them, even if the prince is pretty cute, thinking they are only there to donate to the school.

The Seen Trilogy – Temptation Of Anna

It is the middle of summer in L.A., the weather has been scorching hot, and Anna, the heroine of He Watches Me, doesn’t dare run the air conditioning. Blaine’s pool is gorgeously cool and it isn’t being used. This temptation is difficult for Anna to resist. *** I impulsively grab the towel I had left drying on the deck railing and meander across the modern-art-littered lawn toward the wrought-iron gate, unconsciously moving closer to the property I’ve sworn never to trespass onto again. The soothing sound of falling water calls to me. I gaze between the ornately crafted bars separating me from nirvana, the gate locked. Water cascades down rock into a naturally shaped pool, the feature blending into the purposefully wild backyard. Only the pool is lit. The two-story house, its design as classic as the Leighs’ is contemporary, and is shrouded, as always, in darkness. I’m not surprised....
