We're getting enough characters in these interconnected stand alones that we may need a flow chart, but I’ll try to keep it simple. This book is Peach and Viktor's story and includes Peach's sister, Papaya, and their Meemaw. Peach is best friends and business partners with Joey (Joey and Zeus from The Pilot and the Puck-Up) and Viktor is head bodyguard for royal hockey player Manning (Gracie and Manning from Royally Pucked). To obtain legal custody of her sister, the Alabama judge orders Peach to get married, and yes, I’ve seen judges here in the south make some pretty crazy rulings, so that’s not too far fetched. Viktor has the opportunity to be king of the country from which his grandfather was dethroned, but Amoria law requires their king have a wife. Peach and Viktor may get on each other's last nerve, but they can be a solution for each other and keep things strictly business. You can likely already see how well that will work out.
This author is an auto preorder and auto “get my hands on an advance copy" so the scales may be tipped in favor of me viewing her work in a positive light, but it’s because she’s truly a fantastic writer. If a queen of romantic comedy were being crowned, I'd be hard pressed to not plop the tiara firmly on Grant's witty, humorous head. Every new book is better than the last, and I’m in awe of her ability to continue to create such delightfully entertaining stories. No one does antics, shenanigans and comedic errors quite like this author, from legwarmers for llamas and charming crumbling castles to purloined hot air balloons and everything coming up, well, hearts, there’s never a dull moment.
Of course, these characters are just as endearing as the others have been and quickly find their way into the reader's heart. (Seriously, there are a lot of hearts!) I loved Viktor's upper crust narration, and how he seemed all serious, stoic and kingly, but his compassion, huge heart, a sense of humor he kept closely guarded and his hint of vulnerability are what really made the character for me. And between Peach and her younger sister Papaya, never mind his kingly duties, Viktor really has his hands full. Papaya is a good-hearted, out of control teenager, and Peach has her own set of challenges. Moving from Alabama to the country of Amoria doesn’t really change any of that. “You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl" seems to be a motto ingrained in Peach and she's always had to work harder to make a success of things. It also doesn't help that she had a lesson in trusting men when she was fifteen, and she's believed that all men are untrustworthy ever since. She's her own worst enemy because it keeps her from seeing the good in her or the good things she has accomplished.
It’s always an adventure to read a Grant book, and this is no exception. I never know where the journey will take me, but I know it will be great fun. These characters are complex and immensely endearing. The storyline is engaging and entertaining, and I was right there with Peach and Viktor, page by page, pulling for their happily ever after. With an abundance of non-food-or-beverage-consuming, laugh-out-loud moments, the perfect amount of kingly and sassy southern hotness, and a ton of happy-sigh inducing heart, this book is royally worthy of a 1-Click!

About the author
3.5 Stars!! Funny take on marriage of convenience...
3.5 StarsViktor is used to working for royalty, but when his old family title in Amoria comes back within reach, he has the chance to take back the legacy he never thought would be his. Unfortunately, royal law decrees that the king must be married... happily.All Peach wants is to take care of her younger sister and keep her from getting in constant trouble. But, when her sister makes that job impossible for her, Peach finds herself in a situation she never thought would happen... and requires finding a spouse of her own...With no love lost between Viktor and Peach, why wouldn't the most logical solution be for them to marry... each other.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Peach has always had to find her own way in life, and understandably finds it very hard to trust others. Especially men. Having a constant bickering relationship with Viktor, she seems like the last person who would want to marry him. And everyone knows how thin a line there is between hate and... super hot sex.Viktor never thought he would become King of Amoria. Agreeing to the job ad marrying Peach, he focuses everything he has on trying to fix every issue that arises. And coming home to Peach every night is something he starts to look forward to more and more.This book was a funny take on the marriage of convenience trope. Leaning a little more towards the silly side, I felt the love story between Viktor and Peach was overshadowed by so much of everything else that was going on in the book.Although not my favorite book from this world, I enjoyed this story for it's focus and continuance of the same group of friends in previously loved books, and I can't wait for the next one.I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
