Royally Matched by Emma Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry John Edgar Thomas Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.
🤴🏻
He’s not handling it well.
😓
Hoping to help her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora agrees to give him “space”—but while the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:
Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.
👩🏻❤️👨🏼
A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world’s most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.
💎
While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.
👁
The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit… and her naughty sense of humor.
🤣
But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.
🏰
As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

The heroine: Lady Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum – she is a librarian with social anxiety disorder, so bad that she often passes out. She is directed by her boss to give a presentation at a library symposium in front of hundreds of peers and needs to get out of it.
The Hero(es): Henry John Edgar Thomas Pembrook, Prince of Wessco – Henry grew up knowing that he was second in line to the throne. He wasn’t expected to govern the country since his brother Nicholas was first born. He was the playboy and the life of the party. Though he did go to war during his military service and has PTSD and insomnia because of it.
The Story: Though Sarah has met Henry once before, she doesn’t know him at all. When her sister Penelope wants to be on a reality television show, a sort of Royal Bachelor type show, their mum agrees only if Sarah accompanies her as a sort of helper. Since this gets her out of doing the presentation, she agrees.
The narration was great. The same two people did the narration as the first book in the series so it took me a few minutes to attach them to the new characters. Like I said last time, Shane East was perfect for a dirty talking prince and this time the Andi Arndt played a bookish female royal with a highbrow British accent. In the last book she was a hardworking American and she can do both very well.
I loved the way Henry treated Sarah and the supporting characters were terrific, from Sarah’s sister Penny to her best friends and even the Queen. Also I didn’t think I would like the reality show angle but it was pretty darn good and gave me America’s Sweetheart vibes.
