I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.

It was the synopsis of this book that drew me in initially. Having an undercover prince in a YA contemporary is bound to appeal to me, and it made be think of The Prince and Me film, which I adore. Nik is hiding who he is, because he is the heir to the throne in his quasi-Scandinavian country. He wants the chance of a somewhat normal life, so when he can study in a boarding school in America, he jumps at the chance. There's an initial struggle to understand American culture, but what is the most refreshing is his relationship with Amber, who absolutely despises him. Now, that would sound odd, but being dislike because of his character, and not who he is or how important he is, is like a breath of fresh air, and Nik soon finds himself struggling to stay away from Amber.

Amber, on the other hand, has sworn off relationships, and the cocky and arrogant new boy, Nik, definitely rubs her up the wrong way. However, the more they are together, the more her barriers come down, and she soon finds herself developing feelings for him, though she knows he is hiding something. 

Like I said, I thought this book would be a bit similar to The Prince and Me, and it was, but it was lacking, something. I did enjoy it, and it was a dead quick read, but it was very much an ok book - nothing horrendous, but also nothing fantastic. A good read at the time, but not memorable.

This book has tropes that I'm a complete and utter sucker for and they're done so well in this book! Not only is this book so easy to sit and binge read, but it's so cute and sweet too! Amber is the kind of female MC I like, she's got a bit of fire in her and she won't take any crap from anyone. Nik was just adorable and I loved watching him try to adjust to his new life. The two of them together? *heartfelt sigh* I also always appreciate a book that has a strong and healthy female friendship because so often those are few and far between!

This reminded me a lot of the first Prince and Me movie.
 
Nik is from an royal family in a not well known country but for the next year he is going to school in the States.  He never expected to fall in love and all he wanted was to live a normal life for that year.  But you can’t always get what you wish for can you?
 
I absolutely adored this book.  I love the characters for the most part.  There were a few moments where I really disliked each of them in turn because they did something really stupid or something just didn’t make sense.  I found the plot enjoyable as well, but there were moments where I got confused or lost by something.  There were moments where the book lagged and then picked up the pace again.  The flow was really good though.  I also really enjoyed the authors writing style.
 
This is another author that I would love to read more books by.  I enjoyed every second of this book.  I think this book is great for both the teens and adults (obviously…but I don’t like to claim being an adult).  There are even some subtle lessons in this book if you look closely.

When Amber runs into Nik Gustafsson she doesn't like him at all. He just rubs her the wrong way. But Nik is not really who he says he is. He's an undercover prince from Europe. This book was really fun watching Nik lose his uptight default character was really something. All he wanted was to be loved for who he is and with Amber he got exactly that. This book is funny and has a lot of heart for a YA novel. I definitely recommend.

This was cute, but I just don't think Entangled Teen books are for me. I have read a few that I really enjoyed but usually there either a hot or miss for me. Sometimes there in between, not often though.

A cute teen romance that follows the "lesser-known" prince is hiding in plain sight and somebody finds out while ordinary girl falls for him trope.  It might be overdone, but at least "There's Something About Nik" does it well.  5/5 stars.

Although I enjoyed reading this book, it took me a long time to read. Considering how short the book actually is this is surprising. I think I dragged my heels a little as the storyline was a bit slow-paced and I ended up rolling my eyes a little too much at the main characters. However having said that I did enjoy the book overall and there were a couple of chapters that did surprise me.

i loved this novel. The premise of this was intersting. This was the first book that I have read by this author and i will be reading more by them in the future. The characters in this i loved and they were all relitable in one way or another. This book had me hooked from the very beginning

I read this book in less than a day. I found the plot moved too quickly they went from hating each other to loving each other.

This was an entertaining, if semi-stereotypical teen romance. Not that I'm complaining really, it had all of my favorite tropes.

Nik isn't just another foreign exchange student. The secret is that he is really a prince, Niklas III of Lutgenstadt (not a real country). Looking to escape the paparazzi and limelight of his country, he decides to attend boarding school in the United States. Nik soon falls head over heels for Amber, who is guarded at first and afraid to let him in, after her former boyfriend betrayed her. Nik is strange, a bit formal and guarded himself, and has manners and a way of being that confuse Amber at first due to their formality. As they get closer, Nik and Amber become more comfortable, but when a picture Amber mistakenly takes winds up in the wrong hands, Nik's secret is out and their relationship is all but over. Fun read, reminds me very much of the Julia Stiles movie The Prince and Me.

Couldn't get into the story, wasn't my cup of tea!

The writing came off as childish and I couldn't connect to any of the characters; rather, I found most of them annoying.

This was a book fail for me.  I felt that the writing style didn't match the tone or story line at all. It was too disjointed and I just didn't like it in the end.

There’s Something About Nik was missing something. It felt surface deep and I was left wanting, hoping for more. The premise is fantastic and reminiscent of one of my all time favorite romantic comedies, The Prince & Me, the only difference being that this story is set in an elite high school. What girl doesn’t dream of falling for a guy who turns out to be so much more than he seems? Better than she ever could have imagined?

My biggest issue with this story was the plot lines that fell apart and felt totally forgotten as the story progressed. One of the main characters, Amber, is in remission from cancer. This comes up I believe twice, or something equally low. It functions as a main plot point; it’s the reason that Amber is so hesitant to date, so mistrusting of others, etc. It wasn’t built on at all. It just sat there and was called up when necessary. I kind of expected more from Amber when she talked about her cancer, but the big focus was on the jerk who broke her heart. I needed more. I needed her family. Amber talks about how much she loves them or whatever, but they’re invisible. The story was short. It was cut in weird spots leaving chapters feeling unfinished and there was so much more room to add small details that would have made the characters come to life, but instead they were sort of just there. 

Secondary characters, at first, had a pretty strong presence. I looked forward to reading more about Amber’s best friend because she’s a beautiful person and a bit of a risk taker. But as the story progressed, it became so much about Amber’s feelings about Nik that her bestie was neglected. There really aren’t many characters within the story in general. Nik’s friend is also on the sidelines, even though he’s dating Amber’s friend and you’d think there’d be more. 

I was dying for description. There are whole chunks here that summarize what happened rather than showing. I would have loved to see Nik and Amber dating. Though the scene on the school bus was pretty heated and one of the better ones in terms of developing their attraction, there needed to be more as a baseline. 

Nik’s POVs. Sometimes he read as robotic and cold. Others he was flooded with confusing emotions about this strange girl, Amber. When the romance was there, it was blissfully awkward and funny. It was believable and there was quite the Pride and Prejudice vibe. 

Had the characters been more fleshed out, I would have been able to make a strong emotional connection and would have liked the story better.

This book is obvious. Romance novels are often obvious but this one is particularly bad. I predicted every major plot point. It's a total cliche. The writing is rather awkward. Dialogue tends to be rather unnatural. The narration itself is repetitive. And it's so easy. They aren't interested in romance. And suddenly they're dating. Then a random event reveals Nik's secret. And even though they break up, a simple apology fixes everything.

Oh how I wanted to love this book! When I read the synopsis I was sure I would love it. 

You have a secret, European prince who goes to an American boarding school with the purpose of having a little freedom. A prince who has manners down pat but American vernacular--not so much.
Match that with a sweet American girl who is overcoming some horrific personal issues from the past year and what more could you want from this story?

Well, sadly, I could have done with something a little less trite. The thing is, because this is the kind of story that has been done before (even though it's an intriguing plot line) it needs to be original and be able to stand up against all the others. 

There was the constant, pretty ridiculous, misunderstandings between the two main characters. And the fact that the characters all seemed to have the mentality of nine-year-olds. For me, the main issue with the two protagonists was that, if I didn't know it was a story about how Nik and Amber come to be "Nik and Amber", I honestly wouldn't have ever thought these two should be together. There was no depth to these characters besides their histories. Which, unfortunately, were things we didn't get to see, but were only told about. 

I absolutely hate having to write reviews like this. And because of that, I will definitely give Hantz another chance. I refuse to believe that an author who others love, won't have a story that I can appreciate also.

Disclaimer: I received an e-ARC of this book. I chose to review it and this in no way impacts my opinion of it.

When I was invited to participate in this blog tour I jumped at the chance. An undercover prince who falls in love with a girl who doesn’t know his secret? This sounds like my kind of contemporary, so sign me up!

I started this novel immediately after receiving it and finished it in a little over a day. It was cute and funny and I greatly enjoyed reading it.

I found Nik’s character to be quite enjoyable and I loved watching him struggle to understand the ways of common America while also not giving away his secret. As for Amber, I could feel the pain that she was dealing with and attempting to get over. I found her to be an interesting character to follow.

Even though I knew exactly what the “drama” was going to be based around, I was dying to find out how it came to be. I really wanted Amber to be in on Nik’s secret because I wanted to see how she would react to finding out. The one thing I found a bit odd, was how Amber reacted to the news. I thought the reaction was a little unrealistic and that threw me off.

Overall, I thought this novel was cute and I enjoyed the characters. I would recommend this novel to any contemporary lovers as I believe they will greatly enjoy it.

Meh. This story didn’t grab me the way a lot of the other Entangled Teen Crush books have. It tried way too hard, the characters were so overdone that they became irritating instead of endearing or relatable. 
Amber constantly criticising or making fun of the cultural differences of Nik wasn’t very nice and Nik’s complete verbal shut down whenever she did or said something he didn’t like was equally irksome. As for the romance part, I just didn’t care. Sure there were one or two cute moments but it felt lacklustre overall.
It’s a light easy read if you have some time to kill but it’s forgettable the minute you put it down. The description of the story seemed like it had the potential to be really good but my expectations weren't met.

8/10
Awkward beginnings and a hate-to-love friendship that made me smile.

Nik (more like Prince Niklas) wants to get away from the spotlight and wants to be normal and goes undercover as an exchange student at a boarding school. Only a select 2 people know who he really is & why he 's there. His speech is very awkward because he's learning the ways of how to act and speak from his friend Josh. He's immediately taken aback with Amber who's doesn't like him. As his friendship to relationship with Amber, he feels guilty for not telling her that he's a prince. 

Amber is not a fan of Nik and thinks he acts very standoffish to her. She feels like they doubt have anything in common at first and slightly suspicious when he's being dodgy about his family. I really loved how she was a photographer, because I was really with her in that way because I can understand taking her camera everywhere she goes. So being a fan of the hate-to-love trope; I loved this sweet book so much.
