An arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, royal romance from Clare Connelly.
His princess in public… His enemy in private!
Palace advisor Rosie’s fairy-tale wedding to playboy prince Sebastian was no love match. But she couldn’t defy a decree from the king, the only family she’s ever known. Behind closed doors, the couple live completely separate lives…
Marrying Rosie was Sebastian’s way back from royal exile. Otherwise, the infuriatingly poised Rosie is the last woman he’d want as his wife. Except, when securing the line of succession becomes paramount, they’re forced into a tentative truce. And Sebastian is astonished to find himself delighting in a slow, sweet seduction of his oh-so-proper princess…

Clare Connelly grew up in a small country town in Australia. Surrounded by rainforests, and rickety old timber houses, magic was thick in the air, and stories and storytelling were a huge part of her childhood.
From early on in life, Clare realised her favourite books were romance stories, and read voraciously. Anything from Jane Austen to Georgette Heyer, to Mills & Boon and (more recently) 50 Shades, Clare is a romance devotee. She first turned her hand to penning a novel at fifteen (if memory serves, it was something about a glamorous fashion model who fell foul of a high-end designer. Sparks flew, clothes flew faster, and love was born.)
Clare has a small family and a bungalow near the sea. When she isn't chasing after energetic little toddlers, or wiping fingerprints off furniture, she's writing, thinking about writing, or wishing she were writing.
Clare has definitely done it again. The Unwanted Royal Wife is amazing, with an underlying realism that only an author of her renown can achieve. It’s truly a great read.
Story was good. It just didn't have the level of angst I enjoy. I wasn't really hepped up on the heroine. Just seemed kind of bland, but I did finish it and it had a nice HEA.
