Courted

| ARC kindly provided by Barclay Publicity via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you a lot! |DNF @ 80%I give up, guys.It was chapter two and I already knew how things were going to be.Everything was just so meh. In theory, this kind of books already have some issues because they tend to be so immature and cliché but I still was curious. Who know? Maybe the author could actually pull it off, true?I don’t mind insta-lust but this I looked at her and I instantly feel like I neede [...]

When I was a child,I used to pretend that I was a princess in her pink gown who danced with the handsome princeWhen I was a child I pretended to be D'Artagnan who fought Richelieu and saved Constance.As unorthodox as it may sounds,my choice depicted my absolute faith in heroes and the power of Good and True Love.I loved reading fairytales and stories about heroes and villains and castles and heroines with kind hearts.As I grew up,people around me tended to say it was about time to face reality b [...]

This book was cute! It was a fun story that made me feel like I was living one of my childhood dreams. There were princes, romance, balls, and beautiful palaces. I really enjoyed overall plot of this book. I thought it was really adorable and enjoyable. The royalty theme was perfect for me, because I love reading cute books that involve charming princes. There were some things I did not like about this book. One of the major issues I had with this book was the insta-love. I felt like their relat [...]

du gnan- gnan, de l' attendu, mais il y a dans cette histoire une fraîcheur et une dose de conte de fée qui m'ont attrapé et plus lâché jusqu'à la fin. Un peu de romantisme n'a jamais nui à personne.

This is a delightful modern fairytale romance, with all the classic ingredients - a young, very caring, hardworking heroine (Emmaline Aurora Grace Andrews), Prince Charming (Prince Kristos Andris), and the folks against their happiness, the wicked enemies (paparazzi) and a fairy godmother (the Queen)! It isn’t quite a classic (or they wouldn’t have ended upon bed together anywhere near as quickly) but it is still a lovely modern take on the genre and I enjoyed escaping into it!Four young lad [...]

*Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, as you can tell, I'm honest*I read this book rather quickly and as it was a quick read, I didn’t think much of it as I soared through the pages. However, when I finished the book, I realized that due to this book reading quickly, I learned nothing from it. I don’t remember the main characters’ names. I certainly don’t remember the (unnecessary) friends’ names. And frankly, I don’t really remember anything about the actual story. Simp [...]

4.5 stars;I totally adored this book!  I had no clue what to expect when I started to read this.  Okay, wait.  That's a lie.  I was expecting a sweet, adorable, fun in the sun, girl runs off in the sunset with the prince type of story done ala new adult.Nope, nope and nope.Oh, the story started out that way, though.  Emma needs a break from taking care of her ailing parents.  Her affluent college friend, Lauren, decides to pitch in for Emma to take a two week trip through Europe with their [...]

3 stars.This review also appears on Pretty Sassy Cool.If you're like me, you spent a lot of your childhood pretending to be a princess. So that's one of the reasons I couldn't wait to jump on the blog tour for Courted by Jennifer Chance. Emmaline has been taking care of her sick parents when she is urged to go study abroad. While at a European beach, she's almost swept away at sea and is rescued by hottie Kristos, who it turns out is a prince. They're instantly smitten--I'm talking instantly and [...]

ARC provided by publisher via NetGalley.DNF at 27%.I'm sure this book is adorable and sweet and all things good, but I was bored to tears and decided to quit instead of pushing through. It just wasn't interesting me that much.

Just okIt was a Cinderella like story. Cute but not great. Character development not bad, chemistry between H/h weak, story unrealistic. But not bad for a free read.

Courted is a great story about Emmaline, an American visiting a small monarchy in the Mediterranean for a much needed break. I received an early release copy through NetGalley. Emmaline’s parents were in a horrific accident while she was away working on her graduate degree in music. The accident resulted in both her mother and father requiring round-the-clock care. Emmaline put her degree on hold to come home to Missouri to care for her parents. It has been over a year and she has not had a br [...]

Her life tragically changed she gave up her dreams to look after her parents. Now after being dragged on holiday by her friends she finally gets a piece of her own forgettable, and it plays out beautifully I was glued to every word.Prince Kristos [...]

Gabi's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews3.5 starsA vacation from home turns into a TRUE Fairytale. This story has insta-love,hot times, fun friends and an "international incident". I really enjoyed this book. I truly am such a sucker for fairytales and being swept away in them. To imagine yourself to be seen by a prince who is can we say HAWT! Kristos is hot and a rebellious Prince with flaws. Oh you read that right Flaws. And Emmaline is a broken girl who had to give up her dreams. [...]

The book is like a fairytale which I loved. What can I say I'm a hopeless romantic. this book is every once's little girls dream. Of finding true love and finding a Prince charming. this book is for those dreamers that still believe in that fairytale.Courted reminded me of Cinderella a little bit or if you ever watched that movie the Prince and Me. The heroine gives up her education to take care of her physically ill parents. Her find finally convinces her to take a trip abroad to enjoy herself. [...]

3.5 CocktailsCute royal romance. I enjoyed both characters, but felt the story was rushed just a little bit in order to get Kristos and Emmaline to their HEA. I think to truly believe the whirlwind romance, we needed to be with Kristos and Em a little bit more. We had the sense he was torn between his duty and her, but I needed more clandestine meetings in the palace outside of the ball, for the two of them to truly lay everything out there as far as their wants and dreams. It was still a cute s [...]

A heroine with a brain! And her own life! In a princess story. I very much enjoyed the read. The first couple chapters were a bit slow but once the book got going it really took off. A fun ride.

This book could have been a lot more of everything, and then it would have been a bit better.

*deep sigh* What a fun fairytale-inspired read!

Kristos a soldier. He had a life, a plan, he never wanted to be king, and he's struggling with a new path, with grief and changed expectations and responsibilities. Just when he finally has to face up to those responsibilities he meets a girl. Emmaline can understand Kristos in a way few others can. She had a plan, a dream that has also been derailed by her parent's accident.Things happen quickly, their attraction is immediate and irresistible and things get sexy so this is definitely a story fo [...]

Contemporary romance with a vacationing college graduate finding love in a small European kingdom with the prince heir.Emmaline Aurora Grace Andrews is in a crossroad of her life and she makes the good decision to think about it far away from her difficult family situation and hang out with her best friends on a European vacation. Although on the first stop in the fantasy made-up tiny country on Garronia (which is near Greece), Emmaline on her first day almost drowns, is saved by Prince Kristos [...]

Read my full review at my blog! Experimental BooksOtherwise, here's a gif review. ;)

I hate hate hate to do this especially when I wanted to love this entire series so much. I couldn't do it. At the end of Chapter 1 I almost gave up on this book. At the end of chapter 4 I did. I never DNF a book if I can help it This one Totally different story. There was nothing but what seemed like a retold fairy tale to me I am so sorry but I couldn't get into the book!

Very goodA well written fairytale. Made me laugh, cry and not want to set it down. Lived up to all my expectations and more.

A typical normal girl meets prince and falls in love story but still fun to vicariously live the dream through.

AdorableI wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this book up but it was a fun sexy tale. A modern fairy tale. I couldn't put it down.

nice and light.

If possible, I would give it a third of a star.

CinderellaThis is a story about Cinderella. The back storyline is set in the 1400's. The people now.Complete fantasy to the extreme.

A modern fairy tale romance. I loved it.
