Royal Gone Rogue by Emma St。 Clair is out today， and I admit-I barely put it down long enough to complete my daily chores。 What a delightful story， following along as “Robot Prince” Philip finds his heart。 Led to Alessia by a rubric from a trusted advisor that claimed she would make him the ultimate wife， he goes to meet her， planning to present her with a practical offer of marriage。 But from the moment they meet， his heart is engaged more than he could have ever anticipated。 Despite their diff Royal Gone Rogue by Emma St。 Clair is out today， and I admit-I barely put it down long enough to complete my daily chores。 What a delightful story， following along as “Robot Prince” Philip finds his heart。 Led to Alessia by a rubric from a trusted advisor that claimed she would make him the ultimate wife， he goes to meet her， planning to present her with a practical offer of marriage。 But from the moment they meet， his heart is engaged more than he could have ever anticipated。 Despite their different histories and the challenges they face， following their adventure as they choose to fight for love is a special treat！ 。。。more

Royal Gone RogueA wonderful and fun book by Ms St。 Clair。 Crown Prince Phillip needs a wife。 His father is very sick and the family has been told he has little time left。 The women his mother is trying to set him up with are nothing like the woman he has in mind。 He is a logical man with an analytical mind so he will choose a wife in a similar manner。 But when he meets Alessia he decides to try to win her affection。 Alessia doesn’t trust the guy visiting her town who seems to have eyes for her。 Royal Gone RogueA wonderful and fun book by Ms St。 Clair。 Crown Prince Phillip needs a wife。 His father is very sick and the family has been told he has little time left。 The women his mother is trying to set him up with are nothing like the woman he has in mind。 He is a logical man with an analytical mind so he will choose a wife in a similar manner。 But when he meets Alessia he decides to try to win her affection。 Alessia doesn’t trust the guy visiting her town who seems to have eyes for her。 She had fallen hard before。 Will Phillip be able to win her over？ 。。。more

Royal Gone Rogue is a seriously wonderful， refreshing， heartwarming， romantic comedy！ I loved every minute of this modern fairy tale。 Phillip and Alessia are my new favorite couple。 The nonnos are absolutely awesome - and scene stealing！ The twist about the rubric revealed by Claudius is just perfect。 I love that Phillip stayed in Italy to woo Alessia。 This is the most amazing rom com you will ever read！

Really liked Royal Gone Rogue。Phillip is an interesting prince。 He doesn’t want an entitled princess。 Nope。 He wants a good person who can be a good partner and eventual queen。 His methods are logical and thorough。 I’d take him， hands down。 His choice？ Alessia， an Italian orphan waitress who dreams of a handsome stranger sweeping her off her feet and taking her away from her life。 Only， when Phillip shows up to do just that， the road isn’t all smooth sailing。 Recommend for a sweet read with a wo Really liked Royal Gone Rogue。Phillip is an interesting prince。 He doesn’t want an entitled princess。 Nope。 He wants a good person who can be a good partner and eventual queen。 His methods are logical and thorough。 I’d take him， hands down。 His choice？ Alessia， an Italian orphan waitress who dreams of a handsome stranger sweeping her off her feet and taking her away from her life。 Only， when Phillip shows up to do just that， the road isn’t all smooth sailing。 Recommend for a sweet read with a worthy prince。 。。。more

So cute！This was such a cute sequel to Royally Rearranged。 I loved Phillip and Aleesia’s story！ The romance was spot on and I love that there’s a content warning in the beginning of the book。 Also I loved the easter eggs in this book from some of Emma’s other books。

Delizioso！ 💕Phillip's story is every bit as yummy as Serafina's - and even more fun！ While I was so moved by Rafe's story & arc （redemption stories are always favorites of mine）， Phillip's lonely soul arc was still totally emotionally engaging & watching him accidentally stumble into love while he was looking for a bride was wonderfully entertaining。 I love this series & hope Emma does more！*Romance level: passionate kisses， nothing graphic Delizioso！ 💕Phillip's story is every bit as yummy as Serafina's - and even more fun！ While I was so moved by Rafe's story & arc （redemption stories are always favorites of mine）， Phillip's lonely soul arc was still totally emotionally engaging & watching him accidentally stumble into love while he was looking for a bride was wonderfully entertaining。 I love this series & hope Emma does more！*Romance level: passionate kisses， nothing graphic 。。。more

This was SO GOOD！！ I was laughing out loud， I couldn't help it！！ This has all the feels。 I love how Phillip first finds out about Alessia and how he woos her。 I also love that the nonnos all know who Phillip are。 Plot twist about the rubric and Claudius is good too。 I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily sharing my honest opinion。 This was SO GOOD！！ I was laughing out loud， I couldn't help it！！ This has all the feels。 I love how Phillip first finds out about Alessia and how he woos her。 I also love that the nonnos all know who Phillip are。 Plot twist about the rubric and Claudius is good too。 I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily sharing my honest opinion。 。。。more

I had an ARC for this book， but this is my voluntary and honest opinion。 Prince Philip must find a wife， but he’s not interested in any of the women his mother is suggesting。 He has his assistant find candidates through a computer rubric。 He picks Alessia， from a small town in Italy。 She lives with and works for her grandfather。 Once he meets her， he sees how perfect she is for him， but her grandfather doesn’t want him to let her know he’s a prince right away or she won’t give him a chance。 This I had an ARC for this book， but this is my voluntary and honest opinion。 Prince Philip must find a wife， but he’s not interested in any of the women his mother is suggesting。 He has his assistant find candidates through a computer rubric。 He picks Alessia， from a small town in Italy。 She lives with and works for her grandfather。 Once he meets her， he sees how perfect she is for him， but her grandfather doesn’t want him to let her know he’s a prince right away or she won’t give him a chance。 This is a thoroughly romantic and funny story about misunderstandings， and learning to stand up for yourself。 A great read！ 。。。more

I loved Allessia and Phillip！ I normally steer clear of Royal-type books。 I am so glad I read this story。 Their story is sweet and so romantic。 They have glorious chemistry and the humor was great。 This is a sweet， clean romance with wonderful characters。

Royal gone rogue is such a fun story！ I don’t know that I usually read royal books， but when Emma wrote Royally re-arranged， I read it simply because I liked her other books。 The character I found most fascinating in the first book was Phillip， so I was excited to hear his story was next。 It did not disappoint。 Phillip takes his role as crown prince very seriously and does not have time to meet his future queen。 When his advisor comes up with a plan to find someone comparable for him， he is all Royal gone rogue is such a fun story！ I don’t know that I usually read royal books， but when Emma wrote Royally re-arranged， I read it simply because I liked her other books。 The character I found most fascinating in the first book was Phillip， so I was excited to hear his story was next。 It did not disappoint。 Phillip takes his role as crown prince very seriously and does not have time to meet his future queen。 When his advisor comes up with a plan to find someone comparable for him， he is all in。 I loved Philip。 As someone who had workaholic tendencies during my college years I totally related to him。 I loved seeing him find himself through his time away from home meeting Alessia。 Alessia was also so lovable。 I loved the fun she brought to the relationship and her genuine goodness。 Her banter with Philip was on point。 Fun and flirty without ever being mean。 The swimming scene， meeting the queen， and the epilogue were my favorite parts。 Such a fun book to escape into for some light fun reading。 。。。more

This book felt like a fairy tale where Prince Phillip tried to find a wife before the Queen found one for him at a Cinderella type ball。 I especially liked Alessia and her grandfather， Nonno Enzo。 She lived with Nonno since her parents were both gone and she worked in his restaurant until a handsome man， her prince charming aka Just Phillip， tried to sweep her off her feet。I really liked the characters in the story set in Repestro， Italy and Elsinore。 I received an advance copy of this book and This book felt like a fairy tale where Prince Phillip tried to find a wife before the Queen found one for him at a Cinderella type ball。 I especially liked Alessia and her grandfather， Nonno Enzo。 She lived with Nonno since her parents were both gone and she worked in his restaurant until a handsome man， her prince charming aka Just Phillip， tried to sweep her off her feet。I really liked the characters in the story set in Repestro， Italy and Elsinore。 I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review， 。。。more

I really loved the first book in this series so I’ve been eagerly awaiting book #2！ Prince Phillip was so prim and proper in the first book so I was anxious to see who would catch his eye。 He asks an adviser to help him find the perfect woman for him and trusts the advisors charts and graphs and rubrics and goes to a small town in Italy to meet Alessia。 His plan was to propose marriage as an arrangement and that they could choose to commit to one another day by day。 But once Phillip sees Alessia I really loved the first book in this series so I’ve been eagerly awaiting book #2！ Prince Phillip was so prim and proper in the first book so I was anxious to see who would catch his eye。 He asks an adviser to help him find the perfect woman for him and trusts the advisors charts and graphs and rubrics and goes to a small town in Italy to meet Alessia。 His plan was to propose marriage as an arrangement and that they could choose to commit to one another day by day。 But once Phillip sees Alessia and starts talking with her， all of his plans fly out the window。 She doesn’t know he’s a prince yet and he takes advantage of that to just be a regular man and get to know her better。 I’m sure you can see the flaw in this logic。 😉 Eventually Alessia discovers he’s a prince and you get to see her manage royal life。I wish we could have gotten a little more time between Phillip and Alessia as they were first getting to know one another。 There were interactions between them in the early chapters that were just referenced in the past tense by one of the main characters instead of letting the reader witness them in full as they were happening。 And you all know me and my need for a strong emotional development between my characters。 I just felt like I was missing out a little。 However， once those few chapters passed， we were experiencing everything in time with the main characters and I really enjoyed the rest of the story。 There were so many fun supporting characters and some very sweet and swoony scenes。 I also loved seeing Alessia bringing out Phillip’s playful side - their swim in the sea 😍😍 - and thought it was so fun to see his siblings include Alessia into their antics right away。 And of course there were some meddlesome birds， because no Emma St。 Clair book is complete without some quirky animals！I would highly recommend this if you’re a fan of the movie The Prince and Me！ In my opinion， I think it would be best enjoyed after reading book 1 in the series， Royally Rearranged。 That book is about a different couple but it gives a lot of background info on the supporting characters in this story that I feel you’d miss out on otherwise。 Thank you to the author for an advanced copy to review。 。。。more

"My apologies。 Let's see if we can remedy this and reassure you of the validity of my princehood。""Less talking， more kissing，" she says。 "Don't let the title overshadow the man。。。。My older brother will always struggle to turn off the logical side of his brain， but he's better with you。 You are his heart。""Being a king or queen is an acquired skill set。 Anyone could do it。 But those who want it the least are often those most worthy of it。"This was so delightfully sweet and fun！ I binged it in on "My apologies。 Let's see if we can remedy this and reassure you of the validity of my princehood。""Less talking， more kissing，" she says。 "Don't let the title overshadow the man。。。。My older brother will always struggle to turn off the logical side of his brain， but he's better with you。 You are his heart。""Being a king or queen is an acquired skill set。 Anyone could do it。 But those who want it the least are often those most worthy of it。"This was so delightfully sweet and fun！ I binged it in one afternoon， alternating between swooning and laughing the entire time。 At one point I laughed so hard I cried， and when my husband came out to see why and I told him， he cracked up as well。In a modern-day Cinderella story， Prince Phillip of Elsinore seeks to find a wife - but not the shallow， titled socialites being thrown at him。 Ruled by rules and logic， he enlists his friend and assistant to find him the perfect wife through spreadsheets and a rubric， believing if he finds the right woman then love will eventually follow。 So he's off to Italy incognito， to meet and propose to Alessia - a hard-working， community-minded woman working in her grandfather's restaurant。 But when he actually meets her， his plan - and his heart - get thrown for a loop！ I loved the progression of Phillip and Alessia's relationship， how they saw each other for who they truly were and brought out the best in each other， and the parts of themselves they didn't know were there。 And while there were some misunderstandings， they still communicated and made decisions like adults。 I also loved that we saw them both in each other's world and the adjustments that brought。This also had so many wonderful characters！ From a group of meddling Italian Nonos to romance-minded bodyguards， nosy villagers to rambunctious royal siblings。 There were countless laugh-out-loud moments throughout （misuse of the term "package" had me dying 😂）。 And while this may be a closed door romance， the chemistry was intense！ Not to mention having loads of heart。 It just proves again why Emma has become one of my favorite authors！ If you love a good rom-com and Cinderella story then definitely check this out。 。。。more
