Star hockey player Daniel Sacachelli wants only two things: 1) for the Falcons
to win next season, and 2) for his secret — the fact he’s actually the prince of Eldonia — to never make its way to Chicago. But if Daniel keeps avoiding his crown, their family will lose their kingdom forever.
Madison Myong can’t believe that her will-they-or-won’t-they best friend Daniel is
really a prince! He’s always seemed more rebel than royal. But now, he needs to clean up his image, fast. Posing as his long-time girlfriend, Madison accompanies him back to Eldonia, intending to give Daniel a makeover fit for a king.
Only, the more royal Daniel becomes, the more Madison misses her best friend. And if she does her job right, she’ll lose him forever...

I just re-read my review for the previous book in this series, Just One of the Boys, and I have to say, I am harboring many of the same thoughts about this book, which is a positive thing.

I received Just one of the Royals by Leah and Kate Rooper from Netgalley. It has no impact on my thoughts. My thoughts are my own.

A hothead hockey player finds himself in the middle of the Princess Diaries. Only, he's the royal. Not her.

Just One of the Royals was so fun to read. It meshed old royal customs with the modern world. I loved the relationship between Daniel and Madison. From chapter one my heartstrings tugged for them. I wanted to scream for them to finally tell each other their feelings. At the same time, the authors di ...more

Just One of the Royals by Kate and Leah Rooper is a quick and easy read. This a sweet and cheesy contemporary book. I enjoyed reading it like their other book Just One of the Guys. The book was overall written well. You can tell they took their time in developing the story. The characters were thoug ...more
"Just One of the Royals" was a cute but predictable YA romance. Daniel is passionate about hockey and plays for the Chicago Falcons, where his close friend Madison works as a trainer.

Obviously I started with the 2nd book of this series. However, while I guess I didn't need to read the first one, I am definitely intrigued enough by getting to know the characters from that first book in this one, that I want to go back and read it. At first I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the ...more
Being a prince is not easy, but being a bastard prince is much more difficult. Daniel may agree with this more than anyone. He is just the opposite of what a King is supposed to be yet he has this big load of being the new King of Eladonia. Either this or he will lose his kingdom and the happiness o ...more
