It took me a while to get to this one, I know... but now that I have, I'm glad I finally did! I loved this one as much as the second, even though I read them out of order. And it's always nice to go back and find out how the characters ended up where they did, even if you already "know" the outcome.

Two different worlds, rules to follow, and family obligations make this sexy read a must.

An unfortunate incident with a can of purple paint puts Lenas Art Studio in further jeopardy, can she survive another scandal?

When Liam offers a proposal to make things right will she continue to be a mangnet for disaster or find someone willing to accept her occasional clumsiness?

If you love your romance with a dash of royal, a bit of spice and an adventure that leaves you parked in your comfy chair till the last page, one-click!

I really wanted to love this book. It has the formula of everything I enjoy, but I ended up not really connecting with the characters or story. It bothered me that Elena only spoke spanish to swear. I tired switching to the audio, but the narrator was not working for me, at all. I give it 2.5, but round up to 3

I just really enjoyed this book. It was just really easy to get lost in this book. I will definitely be reading more by this author.

I thought this was a pretty good read. The writing flowed well for the most part, and I liked Liam and Elena together. My biggest complaint (and it's not a very big one) would be all the "situations" that seem to happen with Elena. I know the whole meet cute is set up because of the crazy things that happen to her, but it got to be a lot after awhile. I did love the whole fake relationship aspect, and I thought that this author did it well. I loved Liam and Elena getting to know each other. I thought they were a good match. The ending was sweet and I liked it for these characters. This was a first for me from this author, but I will definitely read her again!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

If I'd read this book in just 1-2 sittings, I probably would've given it a much higher rating. It just seems like very time I came back to it, some of the magic dissipated, and I was left wondering why I found it so captivating at first. I didn't know if this was supposed to be a rom-com or an erotic tale, because the heat dialled up in a rather un-organic way in the second half. I also started to notice Elena's swearing way too often. I don't mind women swearing, but this just seemed to happen every other page, and it being in Spanish (I language I know nothing about so didn't even know what the swears were supposed to signify) just popped out even more.
Again, if I'd read this in 1-2 sittings, I would've loved it. Leaving and coming back a few times just gave me a 'meh' vibe about this one

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. This book will make you laugh from the first page. My favorite part was "the flying paint can of rage". I absolutely enjoyed Lena and Liam's characters. This book is set between New York and Valeria. This is a very humorous book. I absolutely highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. This ebook is in stores for $4.72 (USD).

A ROYAL DISASTER is a fun, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy.

Elena hadn't the best luck, with Murphy's Law in full working order. Her business was failing, her ex was suing her, and goodness, she just poured paint over a much-loved and celebrated royal. Who knew but that was the start of her life turning around? I love her great extended family, who watched out for her, and a best friend no girl should be without.

Liam is sweet and compassionate, and it's no wonder Elena (and the world) would fall for him. He's a bit short-sighted though, but thank goodness for good friend Finn who was there to enlighten him.

Their romance was a rollercoaster ride from start to finish, and I enjoyed the journey a lot. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

A fun royal romp that will have you laughing and swooning. The characters, the setting it all works!

This one gave me the feeeeeeels. It was heartwarming and sad but also cute and funny. I recommend if you need a quick pick me up

A Royal Disaster is a romcom with my fave genre, royalty!

Elena is an accident prone artist and Liam is the Prince of Valeria, an unlikely pair with an unlikely meeting. They setup an arrangement to fool the world, but their attraction is too strong to avoid. The pair have so much chemistry and sexual tension, it leapt off the page and was totally believable. The story had a wonderful cast of characters and a happily ever after. I am hoping for a sequel with Prince Xander and Nia.

thank you netgalley for making sure i got to read this book early! it was so fun and sweet and i really love that!! i'm glad these characters exist.

This was a cute, entertaining romance that included royal romance and fake relationship tropes into a fun story that had me laughing. It was a true princess story and satisfies all of the reader's needs for a rags to riches happily ever after novel with little angst and lots of romance. The thing I liked the most about it was the way the Puerto Rican culture was embraced by the author and by the Prince. Elena is just a good person - creative, smart, and kind. She is actually a perfect princess despite not having a pedigreed background and preferring her overalls to fancy dresses. Liam is also perfect - in that he doesn't ever step a foot out of line and puts his country above all other things.

I wanted to love this book, but it just didn't land with me. I found that I spent most of the book waiting to be hooked, but it never happened for me. There was more telling than showing, which is a little tough for me to read. However, I have a few friends that I've recommended this to who have loved it already- this is a sweet story, like a Hallmark story with a bit more bite!

Well! This book was quite spicy and very cute! You really feel for Elena she has the worst luck! I really enjoyed these characters and that before the happy ending there was a moment when I believed they weren't actually going to end up together. Overall a great read with some laugh out loud moments and lots of heart!

THank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

DNF'd at 26%. If all of social media is saying horrible things about you, and the first one you mention to your best friend is "someone called me fat!", then I'm backing out of the story. I was on board for the contrived way Lena and William meet, accidental paint-throwing and all, even though nothing about either of the characters really spoke to me. But the story started to lose me when their second encounter was him telling her they would fake-date to improve her reputation. No conversation, no exchanging of ideas, just him showing up with his good looks and an NDA, because god forbid there would ever be bad press involving a member of a royal family. Anyway, I was still willing to read on, even after they turned Lena into the stereotypical Clumsy Hot Girl™ and she caused their date to end in disastrous tabloid headlines, again. By that time, I had thoroughly lost interest in the story. The fat thing just killed any chance this had of me ever continuing this book.

I unfortunately didn't like A Royal Disaster as much as I would. There wasn't really much depth to the characters, and the constant refrains of "bollocks" among others got irritating really fast. The romance was just okay, and the conflict was swept under a rug and solved within pages.

3.5 stars

A Royal Disaster (Royally Engaged #1) by Jennifer Bonds is a contemporary romance between an ordinary girl and the royal Prince. Anything that is related to royalty and I am all here. I equally enjoyed reading this book too.

Elena Murphy, a struggling artist and has been recently sued by her ex-boyfriend. His Royal Hotness decides the best way to fix this mess is to make her the envy of New York—by pretending to date. They both start fake dating. The Crown Prince of Valeria, the World’s Most Eligible Bachelor falls for Elena.

The writing style and the few of the very eye catching lines written by Jennifer Bonds, sets the mood for the perfect romance novels. This is nothing new in terms of plot. But Liam is my list of top fictional book boyfriends now. Elena and Liam felt very real to me.

The differences in their culture, and difficulties faced by royalty has been elaborated in this book very well. The character of Elena was just perfect and very likeable as well. And of course, a villain is always required - Charlotte. This one was a good read for me with some great written lines which we make you fall in love with the characters as well as the story.

Thank You to NetGalley and the Publisher for sending me the eARC in exchange for a honest opinion.

**I received an ATC in exchange for an honest review.**

This was a pretty quick, light read. I loved that the heroine was spirited and the Prince was charming.
However, I really need to feel more. I was told a lot instead of being able to see it.

This is the exact type of book I find myself craving at times. I loved the characters, Liam and Elena. This was an addictive and quick read that I absolutely adored. Highly recommend!
