Title: American Royals.
Author: Katharine McGee.
Genre: YA, contemporary, romance.
Release date: September 3rd 2019.
Summary:
What if America
had a royal family? If you can’t get enough of Harry and Meghan or Kate and
William, meet American princesses Beatrice and Samantha.
Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown.
Two girls vying for the prince’s heart.
This is the story of the American royals.
When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George
Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington
still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an
heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows
exactly what is expected of them. But these aren’t just any royals. They’re
American. And their country was born of rebellion.
As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America’s first queen regnant, the
duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares
about the spare except when she’s breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha
doesn’t care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is
distinctly off-limits to her. And then there’s Samantha’s twin, Prince
Jefferson. If he’d been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in
line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America
adores their devastatingly handsome prince . . . but two very different girls
are vying to capture his heart.
The duty. The intrigue. The Crown. New York Times bestselling
author Katharine McGee imagines an alternate version of the modern world, one
where the glittering age of monarchies has not yet faded–and where love is
still powerful enough to change the course of history.
Why I’m excited:
I really enjoyed listening to McGee’s the thousandth floor series! And I’m hoping this book will be just as enjoyable to listen to! And of course to summary does sound very interesting! So far I’ve seen some great reviews for this one 🙂
