Book: Read a book set in the UK, a political thriller, a book involving any monarchy or revolution, a book about arson or related to fires and burning, a book whose plot involves costumes / fancy dress, or that has masks on the cover, or that is self-published.

As the name suggests, Truly Madly Royally is a romance where one half of the couple is a member of royalty. Other members of the royal family also play a role in the story.

Maggie and Edward come from different worlds. He's a Prince with the world laid out at his feet. She's a woman who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. By chance is how they meet. She needs a job. He needs a tutor. What they find could be the undoing of years of tradition or the beginning of a forever kind of love. Royally Schooled feeds the fantasy of the heart. Though a tad cliched, James puts emotions at the center of a larger than life, slightly obvious, hard to resist fairytale and hits her target dead on.

In this charming modern day retelling of the 1956 classic Anastasia, a museum curator falls for a mysterious man who may or may not be a long lost heir to Russia’s imperial Romanov dynasty.

Ever since their execution, the Romanov family has been a world obsession. I’ve seen tv shows and movies about the last surviving Romanov. This was, however, the first time I found a book with it as it’s plot point. I found it cute, if a little predictable. I did enjoy it and recommend it.
