His Royal Highness by R.S. Grey
5.0
Note: An ARC was provided by the author.
This was such a fun read, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both Whitney and Derek as they made their way towards their happy ending. Readers get a glimpse of their past and it's not your typical sort of romantic past either. Let's just say that they clearly had a connection eight years prior, but with the ten-year age difference and where they were at that particular point in their respective lives, and it was almost as if it was a case of wrong timing. Kudos to Whitney for not immediately falling back on her long-held feelings for Derek. I'm not saying that she made him work for a shot with her, but I think that being cautious isn't necessarily a bad thing. These two needed to figure out if they really wanted to pursue something romantic with each other and just how invested they would be. I also want to note that there were a number of side characters were standouts, but the one who takes top prize was none other than Cal Knightley, Derek's grandfather and someone Whitney was quite close to. Every time the man appeared in the book, he brought a smile to my face and made me think of my late maternal grandfather. A mostly lighthearted read, there was a bit of angst in the form of the side story concerning Whitney's family, but nothing overly heavy or depressing. His Royal Highness was a quintessential five-starred R.S. Grey story. ♥
