A Princess in Waiting by Noelle  Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Princess in Waiting is a good, enjoyable read. I received a free copy through Fantastic Flying Book Club provide a free copy in exchange for review. During a time when I am inundated with work and books that used to take me 1 to 2 days to read now take me 4 to 6 days to read because I am always working, this was time well spent. It helps that the characters are very likable. A Princess in Waiting is the third story in a series about the Rothman Royals. Although I did not read the first two I was able to jump right in and understand the characters and a bit about their history.

Lisette is the youngest of the Rothman Royals. She is extremely shy and introverted except when with her family and her best friend Alex. When strangers are around she withdraws and, when possible, flees the scene. She has been in love with Alex, the son of a staff member of the royal family, since she was a teenager. They literally grew up together and always share everything. Lisette's mother has visitor's coming and one of them is the wealthy, successful son, Stefan. The queen wastes no time working to bring Stefan and Lisette together and they seem attracted to each other. Lisette has never dated and is unsure how to show Stefan she is interested so she seeks Alex's help. Alex is willing to help but, he appears to not be too happy about it. It is quite unusual for someone to make it through college and still be so shy, but, the story gives a good feel for how hard it is for Lisette to come out of her shell. She steps out and tries to make some changes and things go a bit haywire. This is definitely a series I would like to jump into and read the other books. If you are in the mood for a light romance with royals A Princess in Waiting will definitely suffice.
