Almost Royal #1
by Rachel Lacey
Release Date: October 2, 2018
NOT ALL FAIRYTALES END AT MIDNIGHT
Elle Davenport is no princess—she just dresses up as one for her job at a local theme park. But when she gets the call that she’s won a contest to live and work at a real-life castle in Virginia, she finally feels like she’s found her calling. If she’s successful, her venture could become permanent, and that sounds like Elle’s idea of the perfect modern-day fairytale. There’s only one problem: the castle’s grumpy—and sexy—new owner wants her gone as soon as possible.
Theo Langdon never imagined he’d inherit the title of Earl of Highcastle so young. With his grandfather’s recent death, he needs to sell Rosemont Castle so he can return to London. If only he wasn’t butting heads with the vivacious new property manager at every corner. Although he’s got a life waiting for him in London, Rosemont Castle suddenly feels a lot like home, thanks to Elle. As the clock winds down on her time at the castle, he’ll have to reconcile his obligations in London with the American woman who’s stolen his heart.

My review: 4.5 stars!
I discovered Rachel Lacey last year and loved her Risking It All series, so I absolutely looked forward to the first book in her new Almost Royal series, If the Shoe Fits. Take a royal romance, add in animal rescue and a spin on the Cinderella story, and I was hooked. Theo and Elle had fantastic chemistry and fun banter. Elle's friends were great characters too and I am looking forward to their stories. Fun fun fun!
