Chronicle Supposing Books A Royal Romance (A Royal Romance Story #1)
Georgina, Princess of Wales, has always known her destiny, but she never expected duty to call so soon. When her father dies suddenly, she is called back from her Royal Navy post to assume the crown. While the people acclaim their new Queen, Great Britain’s first openly gay monarch, all George feels is the isolation of her station.Beatrice Elliot’s staunch anti-monarchist views have always been a point of gentle contention with her working class, royalty-loving parents. When Bea—director of a hospice charity—must spend six months working with Queen Georgina, her charity’s new patron, sparks fly and passion blooms. But is love enough to bridge the gap between Bethnal Green and Buckingham Palace?

Badly written, badly edited, badly structured. What plot there was was complete nonsense. The antagonists were toothless and also pointless. The heroines never resolved their own problems. Most of the book was exposition, telling me how likeable Georgie is and why she and Bea are good together. By the midway point, I was hate reading, and actively rooting for the failure of both the central romance and the monarchy. The central conflict presented in the blurb never makes a real appearance. Bea'sInteresting idea, fluffy quick read. Though I feel like it's more like brushing on the surface romance. Not in depth enough. I don't really feel the chemistry, because there are not lot interations between them honestly, the conversations are there and just when they are starting to pick up the pace, the author just stops them and then "oh okay, they have had that talk until midnight. Let's move on to the next agenda!" Like the tour after their kisses, the complicated and awkwardness between
The following review was made possible by an ARC from NetGalley and can be viewed on my blog The FarNerdy Blog.Reading Jenny Frame's debut novel, "A Royal Romance" was an enjoyable experience overall. It was quite evident that Frame did her research in preparing for this novel by becoming accustomed and familiar with the monarchy of Great Britain, and how all is executed as a royal. The intricate detail and devotion to getting the novel "just right" made it all the more fun to read and
ARCIve been mulling over what to write about this book for a few days, ever since starting it really, and most certainly after stopping about half way through (I did skip through the second half to see where it went).I found the book problematic on many levels. The writing was awkward, the characters never came alive and had very cliched roles to fulfil, the plot tried to take on a lot. So what could have been a simple, nice romance novel turned out to be something of a mess.I cannot stress

I can't recommend this one. There's an interesting premise here, but that's about all. The characters are two dimensional and the writing is stilted and trite. BSB should really try to help their authors (especially their new authors) with plot development, dialogue, and pacing. I almost gave up on this one in the prologue, which consists almost entirely of overblown descriptions of a royal event that could have been described in a few sentences. This happens throughout the book, as there are
I didnt like this book at all. It was not the general idea of the book, even though is not original at all. I think what make me rate it with 1 star was the writing itself. It is poor. Really. If you like well written books, don't read this one. And it's a shame because the idea, the characters and how the story is developed is not so bad. I didn't like the end. For me the book could have ended when the got finally together. But....that wasn't the worst part so.
