REVIEW: Some Like it Royal by Heather Long

Some Like it Royal by Heather Long: Fairytales don’t happen in real life, right? Alyx is working as a waitress, taking acting classes and living in her ten year old Volvo. How is it possible that she, an orphan who grew up in foster homes, could possibly be a Princess?

Daniel, a man with his own jaded background, not only thinks that Alyx is a Princess but has the proof. The question is can he get her to believe it and then can he convince her to go along with his plan?

Who needs who more? Can Alyx and Daniel see beyond a contract and beyond their pasts to reach each other and teach each other how to love? Will this fairy tale end “American – style” aka happily?

Some Like it Royal is a true fairy tale story, where the fairy godmother is a wonderful stern older man, Victor helps to ease Alyx and Daniel into their roles and their love story. The writing style is perfect incorporating fairy tales with the possibility of reality. Heather Long does a wonderful job making your heart bleed for Alyx and then when we are finally given a view into Daniel’s childhood it seems like so many things just fall into place.

Moral of the story though it makes sense to be wary, so many wonderful things can happen when you just open your heart.

It’s The Role of a Lifetime…

Living out of a car and waiting tables to make ends meet is hardly the stuff of fairy tales. So when a gorgeous man approaches Alyx Dagmar with a wild story about her royal lineage and an even wilder proposition, the aspiring actress is sure he’s got the wrong woman.

Self-made billionaire Daniel Voldakov needs connections before he can expand his software business into Europe. A blue-blooded fiancée would open all the right doors—and Daniel’s certain he can tempt the pretty but penniless Princess Alyxandretta to accept the part she was born to play.

Alyx can’t resist Daniel’s offer, and throws herself into the role. But as the paparazzi fall in love with their “storybook romance,” Alyx finds herself drawn to Daniel in ways she’d never imagined. Are his returned affections true, or all just part of the plan? He’ll do anything it takes to prove his love, and to make her see that the only happily ever after he wants is with her…the real her.
