Really enjoyed this book. Read the first chapter and went and purchased the first book so I wasn't jumping in half way through. Really cute sequel!

The Royal Wedding continues on from the Royal Treatment and it would be better to read that first, it's a great book as well so you'll be in for a real treat.
Tessa and Prince Arthur continue their loving relationship but not without many obstacles being put in their way, some funny but some just plain wicked.
There is, as previously great humour in this book, but whereas with the first I probably smiled to myself or give a little chuckle there are scenes in this book particularly one where I had to stop reading due to the tears and shaking of laughter, I'll just say one word....Ibiza.
You'll find yourself cheering this couple on, upset at misunderstandings, booing at the horrible characters but above all having a great time with their journey.
A wonderful funny read, I hope there's a third instalment.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book.

Tessa was now engaged to the crown prince of Avonia -Arthur Laugesen. Tessa knew once Arthur put the ring on her finger she could no longer be the clumsy, blogger struggling reporter normal woman. She must transform into an elegant fabulous princess like Grace Kelly. After Tessa said yes to Arthur she was determined she would no longer do the old things to humiliate herself. Right now Tessa was in her brother Finn’s room at her parents= Reuben and Eve- house. Eve and Reuben also believe Tessa was incapable of almost any worthwhile accomplishment. Tessa had moved back to her parents house five months earlier. Tessa only had a part time job at The Weekly Observer. Tessa’s main source of income were her two remaining blogs. She had a photography website and her Smart Runner blog which she reviews clothes, shoes, and devices used by jogging enthusiasts. Tessa and Arthur hadn’t seen each other for six days as Arthur had to go to Genovia. Tessa even had a bodyguard now named Xavier. But her eleven year old niece pointed out that many tweets were out there against Arthur marrying Tessa. There were hundreds of I Hate Tessa tweets who didn’t want to see Tessa and Arthur marry, they wanted Arthur to marry Lady Dr. Brooke Beddingfield. The first thing King Winston had done when he found out about Arthur and Tessa impending marrying was assign Xavier to Tessa. Tessa took it as his version of throwing down the gauntlet that he would never see the wedding happen. Then Tessa and Arthur decide to marry in six months as he owes it to his people to have their festivities because their crown prince was getting married. Arthur told Tessa if it weren’t for his obligations he would whisk her off to Vegas and have Elvis marry them. Since Tessa had been fourteen years old all she ever really wanted to do was be a successful journalist now she knew she had to give it up as she was the one everyone wanted a news scoop from.
I liked this story but in some ways it was very realistic like Tessa’s stress. I felt bad for her that this should be a time of great excitement for her and happiness. I loved Arthur’s grandmother and how she backed Tessa. I didn’t like Brooke and how she played up to Tessa. I was glad Tessa saw saw through her.For the most part this just didn’t have realism for me why would a prince fall for someone who used to down his family. I didn’t like how Tessa lashed at her mother but did feel she got her payback when everyone heard. I think Tessa was losing her real self and I didn’t like that. Arthur was supposedly in love with her for herself. Not someone she was trying to turn herself into. I did like how things turned around and even the king had changed his mind after Tessa went and told him off and Arthur finally saw Brooke for who she really was. I also loved how Arthur stood up to his father. I also loved the ending. So as I said somethings I really liked and others I didn’t. But all and all this still deserved a four rating. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend it.

The Royal Wedding is the fun sequel by Melanie and MJ Summers. This carries the story along to the planning of the wedding of the Prince Arthur and his 'commoner' fiancé, Tessa. Of course, the planning is not without difficulty, mis-communication and meddling. When twitter wars and old flames interfere with their wedding plant, it looks like the Avonia wedding could be a bust. However, fate has more in store for this prince and his princess. Looking forward to more stories of this family in future novels.

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: women's fiction, Romance

Well, much to my surprise I loved book one. I thought I'd like it but that it would be chic-lit fluff, fine for when i want something easy between heavier reads.
It actually had far deeper content than I expected along with some cracking characters and great humour and that's carried across really well into book two. 

When I see the words irresistibly funny, laugh out loud, you will love this book, I'm wary, its so often a cover for a story that to me is brash and in-your-face comedy, and I just don't like that. I feel its a bit of a step up telling me I will laugh, find the story funny etc.
I can say I did find both these novels really good with some well placed humour that was perfect within the story arc, that doesn't mean everyone will laugh though....
On that subject, cheese Overload.
It was funny the first couple of times, began to grate (unintended that, honest!!) after the sixth or so, and by the end of book one I was gritting my teeth every time that came up - sadly book two had even more cheese humour, but for me it was something that let the story down, overdone, felt forced :-(

Luckily that's a minor point, and the story moves on quickly from engagement to wedding plans.
Poor Tessa, a foot in two world, her freinds and family feel she's changing, the Royals who don't like her don't feel she can ever change enough to fit in.
She wants to do her best for Arthur, to make him proud, and yet she's been brought up to be independent.
Whatever she does is wrong for someone.
Throw in those who feel she's gone over to the Dark Side, the anti-monarchy crowd, who tear at her for what they see as abandoning her stance, those who feel she's a gold digger v those who feel by keeping her job she's wasting her time and taxpayers money, as she needs a bodyguard there, and of course the Twitter Campaign, from the #Brookeisbest guys.
They are vicious, pull down what she does, whats she wears, what she says - all that get's done by the media too, and the poor girl isn't feeling great. She's really under Trial by Media, with everyone feeling they know whats best, whats wrong, what she should be doing and are telling her loudly via the Press and the Internet.
Its a huge stress on a couple in love. wedding planning is stressful anyway but on the scale of a Royal wedding?? 

Her friends; I kind of understood how they felt and yet couldn't really see what else she could do. Ditto her parents involvement in the wedding - love how Reuben whips out his cheque book whenever money comes up and Arthur tactfully persuades him they need to share the bills....
I know her mum has dreams of her only daughter's wedding, but really its Tessa and Arthur's wedding, and she's a bit of a steam roller over what Tessa actually wants. ( I'd hate the bridal shower games she has planned too - I was cringing just reading them - do people really do that?)
That taking over, conflict of what bride and groom want v what parents want happens so many times, not just royal weddings but everyday ones, where the day gets high-jacked by proud parents. Sadly in Tessa's case its not just family and freinds who'll see when it goes wrong, but the whole world. No pressure then. 

I love the cast, Tessa's brothers and wives, and the kids, Arthur of course, his Gran, wonderful lady, I want to be her when I'm that age. Then there's those who don't like Tessa, the King, Arthur's sister, and Brooke, who seems to be wishing Tessa and Arthur well, offering help sweetly, but we know she's likely only paying lip service and wants Arthur herself. She's been his friend for a long time, and he can't believe she wants to be anything more - men are like that aren't they? Tessa can see through her though, but there's nothing she can do, just try to prove herself a fit bride, future Queen, and sadly her past means she's starting from a long way back. 
The wedding planner, Sebastian ( Baz, everything gets shortened or Acronymed (?) as he hasn't time for full words....he was a real star, and I'm sure there are many like him in real life. 

It made for a fun read once more, a book I really enjoyed that was light and easy to read but which brought in some serious issues. 

Stars: five, a fun finish to the story that had me smiling at times, furious at others and so pleased at the way it finally worked out.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

If you enjoyed The Royal Treatment you're going to LOVE The Royal Wedding. This book was absolutely amazing and captivating. It will have you crying and laughing out loud with the crazy antics and banter from the characters, that you will devour this book. I can't wait to see what's next from M.J. Summers!

After reading the first book about Tessa and Arthur falling in love, I was glad to see a sequel was about to be released that follows the wedding preparations.

Tessa and Arthur's love for each other is obvious, but the stress of wedding planning takes its toll as both have difficulty with the stress. Tessa's struggles with wanting to live up to becoming a princess were relatable and well done.

Having a dual perspective also provided the chance to see again what a great guy Arthur is. His support of Tessa showed how much he truly cares about her.

I am sad to reach the end of this story, but it was fun and very well done!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was awesome. I couldn't put it down! i also only requested it so that I could check the file for the author. This file is now correct. Chapter 14 and 15 are now right.

Now I'm wasting time to make sure it's long enough to be a review! Can't wait for more!
