I admit it: I’m a complete sucker for any kind of “fairy-tale” story where a complete normal girl catches the eye of the prince and they live happily ever after. Call it the “Disney” syndrome or what have you, but I remain to this day devoted to these kinds of novels. So while on my recent trip to Barnes and Noble to pick up a few books (I’m looking at you, Aimee Carter), I was distracted by the cover of A ROYAL MATCH. It was aptly placed in the “Royal Fairytale” feature shelf in the YA section,

With the royal wedding a few days ago, it feels like the perfect time to post this review. A normal girl and a fit prince falling in love is the perfect companion for Kate and Prince William’s big day. Besides, I was in the mood for a fairytale romance.
It has always been a dream of mine to go to a boarding school, especially in England. Living in a dorm room with other girls, forming life long bonds, no annoying boys, and high level education make it sound like a dream come true. It More...

I loved this book - it was the perfect companion for me on the royal wedding weekend - the characters are fabulous (even the hated "Honey" had me in stiches for hours!!) the setting is divine and the whole book is brimful of heartwarming teen romance - I've always been a sucker for the "fairytale romance" setting, and in my book this novel (which is actually two books rolled into 1 - VALUE!!!) completely takes the cake!

If you were hit by Royal wedding fever this year and you have recurring dreams of meeting a handsome Prince then this is the book for you! It's a perfect fairytale romance set in an all girls boarding school featuring hot guys, crazy nuns and plenty of kissing.
This volume actually consists of two books: Pulling Princes and Stealing Princes which were originally published as separate titles. They've been combined here and republished as 'A Royal Match' with a very attractive cover t More...

This book was a quick, charming read that I breezed through in about four hours. It combined many of my favorite elements - London, British culture, boarding school, pranks and other hijinks, fun female characters and swoon-worthy male characters - so it's really not a surprise that I genuinely enjoyed it.
It was really a whole lot of fun to read about the crazy things that Calypso, Star, Georgina and their other friends got up to at St. Augustine's (although I didn't really personal More...

i really liked the whole feel of this book. it was funny embarsssing a bit sad in a few bit but a real good feel. i felt it was slow and lingered to long on parts. i also felt like i was liking the guy that she didnt end up with. it could just be me but i felt like he seemed to be written nicer than the other boy seemed a bit spoiled and not as charismatic. but i felt it had a good feel so i do think it was a good read.

I typically like "regular girl meets handsome prince" stories - I'm a sucker for fairy tale endings - but this one was a little tedious. Full of self-centered, shallow girls. I did like Calypso (and Portia in the second book) but I got annoyed with Calypso for falling for Honey's clearly insincere friendliness.

Like Fairytale romances? - this book is it! great story, loveable characers and brilliant writing from author Tyne O'Connell - the perfect companion to the royal wedding and a brilliant new take on the good guy/bad guy pride and predjudice theme - all in all a great read!

It was really good at first- in fact it almost became my favorite book! ( Of course, nothing close to Unearthly, by Cynthia Hand, which I only recently read). But pretty soon it got WAY boring and I had to put it down to save my imagination from running dry.

This book was ok. It was a little to slow for my tastes though, but good idea overall.

Okay. I hate to admit it but I say that almost every book I read is the best. This one may actually be it though. It's actually the two books combined so it's like 500 pages, but it was so good I read it in like 2 weeks!!
