For fans of The Princess Diaries and The Royal We comes a fun and daring novel about a modern-day princess who teams up with a spy to find out what happened to the fiancé who left her at the altar--and who just might get her own fairytale in the process.

Princess Theodora Isabella Victoria of Drieden of the Royal House Laurent is so over this princess thing.

After her fiancé jilted her on their wedding day, she's finally back home after spending four months in exile--aka it's back to press conferences, public appearances, and putting on a show for the Driedish nation as the perfect princess they expect her to be. But Thea's sick of duty. After all, that's what got her into this mess in the first place.

So when she sneaks out of the palace and meets a sexy Scot named Nick in a local bar, she relishes the chance to be a normal woman for a change. But just as she thinks she's found her Prince Charming for the night, he reveals his intentions are less than honorable: he's the brother of her former fiancé, a British spy, and he's not above blackmail. As Thea reluctantly joins forces with Nick to find out what happened the day her fiancé disappeared, together they discover a secret that could destroy a centuries-old monarchy and change life as they know it.

Funny, fast-paced, and full of more twists and turns than the castle Thea lives in, The Royal Runaway is a fresh romantic comedy that will leave you cheering for the modern-day royal who chucks the rulebook aside to create her own happily-ever-after.

3.5 runaway stars

Reviewed in Australia on 9 October 2018

A little bit funny. A little bit sad. A little bit of intrigue. This book had a little bit of it all.

I was expecting this book to be little bit more lighthearted than what we got - that's not a bad thing, though. I did enjoy Thea and Nick's story.

However, I didn't feel the connection between Thea and Nick. Other than the "he's my ex-fiance's-brother-and-he's-hot", I just didn't feel it. And I definitely did not feel anything about them falling in love - but this could just be me.

Everything is a little far fetched (though that's why we read fiction, isn't it) and you really did need to just go with the flow with the whole Royal meets Bond kind of thing.

Whilst I didn't love this book, I did like it and it filled a fun couple of hours for me.

The Royal Runaway is my first read by Lindsay Emory, and I will read more in the future.

Ok, every once I a while I need a romantic escape. This story filled the need perfectly. I’d put it in the grown up Princess Diary category with a nice bit of mystery adventure on the side.

Unexpectedly good

I started this book thinking it would be just another princess/bad boy story but I was surprised by how gripping the plot really was, far from the overt romance and actually more of a crime/investigation story.

Romping Royalty

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2020

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I am not a fan of the romance genre, I’m not really interested in royalty, I get bored by feisty females, and I recoil from fictitious history and fantasy locations for novels – so why am I awarding a 5-star rating to ‘The Royal Runaway’? Because it’s a fun read full of humour with well-developed characters, scintillating dialogue, and dynamic relationships exhibiting a wide range of emotions and motives.

The plot is full of twists and turns built around a royal family ruling a land somewhere in the North Sea and an hour’s flight from Scotland. Second in line to the throne is Princess Theo who is to be married to a respected Scottish Duke. She has a reputation for sneaking out of the palace, but it is him who leaves her at the altar, and who disappears. Theo spends a few months on a nearby island pulling herself together and returns to pick up on her royal duties, but she still makes sneaky escapes out of the palace, and this leads to her meeting a handsome Scotsman in a bar. They combine to discover what happened with Theo’s would-be husband – and so it goes on!

For me this meant suspension of belief which normally would result in loss of star status. However Lindsay Emory’s novel skilfully incorporates ‘tongue in cheek’ commentary on the privileged position of royalty in society, and to life in the public eye. Behind her main romping royalty story is an intriguing bid to turn the monarchy into a republic with thought-provoking insights to the current attention to ingrained ‘unconscious bias’. This lifts ‘The Royal Runaway’ to a 5-star rating.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

When I went into The Royal Runaway, I went into it with expectations.

I was expecting it to be a trashy, erotic royal read that was all romance and little else. What I got instead was something so much better - what I got was a humorous, action-packed, suspenseful and mysterious royal romance that I devoured over the course of a weekend.

I would've finished this novel in a day if I weren't so busy, considering that with the short chapters and the fast pacing to the story, The Royal Runaway is an overall quick read to read, and with its original storyline and entertaining characters, I was left not wanting to put this book down.

Teri Wilson was not wrong when she described this novel as 'The Princess Diaries meets James Bond' - Theodora and Nick's story was the perfect blend of action and comedy, and Lindsay Emory delivers a standalone that was so well-written and completely unpredictable, I was kept consumed until the very end. But whilst I enjoyed the storyline itself and found it to be a gripping and riveting plot that hooked me in from the very first bombshell, it was the lack of chemistry between these characters, and the overall abruptness and lack of development to them that left this book feeling lacklustre.

The Royal Runaway also felt like it was a second-in-a-series to me, so much so that I actually stopped to see if one of Thea's sisters - namely Caroline, as she has her own little shocking and intriguing subplot here - had a story of her own. To my disappointment she doesn't, yet the fact that there felt like there was a story already told in this one - that Caroline has a story of her own - left me feeling like I was missing something, and that feeling did not go away as I read this story.

So as you can see, to me, The Royal Runaway wasn't perfect... but it also wasn't completely bad either.

Despite my 3.5 Star rating, I'd definitely recommend this novel to those looking for a tame royal romance with a heavy dose of humour, and an even heavier dose of suspense and mystery, because putting those flaws aside - which are just my own opinions, and something not everyone will agree with - this standalone was an amazingly light-hearted, enjoyable, and unpredictable romance, one that has made me very excited at the prospect of more to come from the royal world of Drieden.
