My Royal Showmance

Anika Fox knows exactly where she wants to be, and it’s not on the set of a reality TV dating show. She’s working her way up at the production company she works for and she’s close to achieving some of her dreams. The big boss just wants one thing from her. She’s got a potential problem with the director of The King Takes a Bride and she wants Anika to pose as a production assistant and report back.

As the king of a tiny European country, Luca St. Marten knows the world views him as one of the pampered royalty of the world. It couldn’t be further from the truth. His country is hurting and he’s right there on the front lines with his citizens. When he’s asked to do a dating show, his counselors point out that it could bring tourism back to Ralavia. It goes against his every desire, but he agrees.

When one of the contestants drops out at the last minute, Anika finds herself replacing the potential princess. She’s sure she’ll be asked to leave the first night, but Luca keeps picking her again and again. Suddenly she finds herself in the middle of a made-for-TV fantasy, and she’s unsure what’s real and what’s simply reality TV.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

My Royal Showmance was a really cute, easy read. It’s a fluffy tale where girl eets hot boy at a NYC bar and they spend a great night together, only to find out the next day that the boy is actually a king of a small country and the new bachelor on a reality TV dating show where the girl is a production assistant on an undercover mission for the production company owner. But now the girl has to fill in for one of the contestants and date the king along with a dozen roommates. Happens every day, right?

I thought that Luca and Anika had great chemistry. Their relationship felt easy and natural, and she saw him as Luca the guy, not Reginald the King. While they are in the bubble of the Park Avenue mansion where the show is being filmed, these two bond during secret clandestine midnight meetings in her room. It really gives them a chance to get to know each other outside of the drama of the show.

And there is drama with the show! Of course, there is the standard drama you would expect behind the scenes on a dating show, but there’s also a harassment subplot with the director that I found really intriguing. I really liked the way Lexi Blake handled that, and tied it into Luca and Ani’s breakup… and then the Grand Gesture. Swoony!

I did not read the first book in the Park Avenue Promise series, and that was totally fine. There are crossover characters, but Luca and Anika’s story completely stands on its own. This story is perfect escapism!
