You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO request comes from Starlight Archer, who wants to find this really cute sounded royal romance:
I’m on the hunt for a book that I sampled a couple years ago.
From what I recall, it’s a modern day Sports/Royalty mashup. Our hero is a competitive tennis playing British prince, while our heroine is a young plucky American gal (who has potential to become a fashion designer). She’s visiting Wimbledon and working in the tea tent.
They meet when she delivers his tea, and he gets a good luck kiss from her right before his match. I think she’s staying with her artistic auntie during her visit, and her overly worried father is overly worried about her from the far side of the pond.
And that’s as far as I got. With the announced nuptials of Britain’s funnest prince, I think now would be the perfect time to give this a read…if I could only find it again.
Man, I want to read this one.
I just read this: Royal Player (All-Stars Book 1)
by Katie McCoy
Too funny, I just started reading this one yesterday. Royal Player is indeed the title. 🙂
…and it’s currently free at Amazon. This is the best-timed HaBo.
Sounds good…one-click buy! Thanks!
Thank you guys so much!! I just went and bought it 😀
The description had me mildly intrigued the first time I encountered this title, but I bounced off a brick wall at “he’s third in line to the throne”. The whole “can’t turn around without tripping over a duke (who’s also young and handsome)” thing is challenging enough to my suspension of disbelief; completely disrupting the order of succession is too far.
I recently started the Her Royal Spyness series, which (although more mystery than romance) at least has the advantage of Georgie being 37th in line for the throne.
Lexica, Royal Spyness is a great series but both my sister and I found it to be slow going through the first few books. It’s one of those that warms up as it goes along, imo.
