“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that book bloggers are eagerly anticipating.
This week’s pick is an adorable sounding contemp for summer:
Author: Angie Stanton (website | twitter)
Publisher:
Harper Collins/HarperTeen
Expected publication date:
May 6th 2014
Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities, Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with European hotties, Becca is miserable. That is until she meets Nikolai, a guy as mysterious as he is handsome. And she unknowingly finds herself with a runaway prince.
Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for-he’s crown prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn’t have…is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on his own European tour.
When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca’s family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?
How do I love thee, concept of Royally Lost? Let me count the ways:
1) Travel – PLEASE. Any time a book has any travel, I’m there. I’m especially there when the book involved European travel
2) Royalty – I have a serious thing for modern royalty – I can never get enough of princes and princesses in books.
3) Romance – I *especially* have a thing for romance with royals. This book sounds like the written version of the movie The Prince & Me, which was one of my faves in college.
Julia Stiles says, “What girl doesn’t dream of having a prince pick her out of a crowd at a royal parade?”
4) That cover – seriously, I love the map, I love the girl’s skirt, I love how one word of the title is skewed…
Seriously, thank goodness I got an eARC, because I don’t think I can wait until May to get into this adorable sounding contemp.

That sounds so cute! It's on my TBR now for sure. I don't know why, but I really enjoy romance stories about princes or celebrities in disguise – it's reminiscent of that movie, The Prince & Me, which I loved. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds like so much fun- for the travel if nothing else. I'd love to read about what Becca gets to see.
This sounds like a lot of fun it's on my wishlist! Hope you can stop by mine.
I like books with travel in them, good choice. <3
You know, when I saw this the first time, I wasn't intrigued, but your breakdown has me interested… I might give it a go. Good pick!
