The Book

I’m Princess Alice, and I’m determined to forge my own path outside the palace walls as I prepare to start university.

But when your father is the King and every move you make is scrutinized by the public, nothing is ever simple—especially when it comes to finding a flat and convincing my parents to let me live on my own.

Just as I think I’m getting things under control, another challenge comes my way: my longtime security officer, Bruce, announces his retirement.

Enter Arthur—the grumpy, rule-following officer assigned to replace him.

No matter how hard I try to have him reassigned, it looks like I’m stuck with him until the end of the summer.

Can I handle having him around, or will I discover that sometimes the greatest engineering feats happen in matters of the heart?

Engineering Love combines the glamour of royalty with the realities of modern life. If you love feel-good stories and royal romances, this book is for you!

Book Review

Engineering Love is the second book in the Friends of the Unexpected Royals series. I had not personally read the previous book in the series, and found I was able to enjoy this one just fine as a standalone. 

This was such a cute read. Right away, Alice drew me into her life--- she may have been royal, but she was also fiercely independent and wanted to make her own way in the world too. Arthur initially comes across as nothing more than a grumpy, rule-following security officer and let's just say her first impression of him was less than positive. But as they two spend more time together, she learns there's a lot more to him than she thought. A protective MMC who also struggles with anxiety and loves to bake? Yes, please. They were both such wonderful characters that I could not help but love together. It was a really fun story that kept me smiling throughout. This was the first book that I had had a chance to read from the author, but it has me looking forward to reading more in the future. If you love a good royal and/oy bodyguard romance, this is certainly one to check out. 

Engineering Love is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
