Polly
I’m a modern twenty-three-year-old princess bound by rules more suited to medieval times. My father’s declining health means I will soon be queen, but, as a woman, I will not be allowed to rule alone. I can only claim my birthright by marrying the man chosen for me—a business tycoon useful to our kingdom. He’s twenty years my elder and has promised my parents to take a firm hand with me. Big red flag.

My parents are unbending. If I do not comply, my younger cousin will take my place simply because he’s a man.

I’m the one who must bend, or walk away and lose everything—my family, my birthright, my island home.

I never met a man tempting enough to risk a kingdom…and then I meet him.

Oscar
I’m the good looking one. If you need to pick me out of the middle of the Rourke clan that’s how you do it. Does it bother me that nothing is expected of the fourth-born son other than to flash my devastatingly handsome smile for the press? Maybe.

Would I like to be needed even just by one person who sees me as key to something important? Yes.

And then I meet her.

Only lightning struck for the wrong woman. She’s on Villroy for a short time before she must return home and marry the man her parents have chosen. If she doesn’t, she loses her birthright.

If I truly care for Polly, I’ll walk away. But do I have the strength to resist the most perfect woman I’ve ever met?

REVIEW: ROYAL PLAYER (THE ROURKES) BY KYLIE GILMORE

Royal Player by Kylie Gilmore

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I underestimated my emotional connection to this series. The Rourke men are dropping like flies and taking my heart along for the ride. Kylie Gilmore blends her sense of humor with heartwarming romance and an abundance of charm to keep readers coming back for more. There's been enough sitting on the sidelines, now it's Polly's turn to shine. Forget tradition, Polly has a spirit that needs to be in the spotlight. Weighed down by responsibilities, it will take an overlooked Prince to show her that the road less traveled, could be a perfect fit for love. The Princess that started it all is about to claim heart's everywhere. Smart, funny, sexy and sweet. Royal Player is a winner in my eyes.

There's a fine line between fantastically, funny and realistically, wise. Gilmore walks it like a pro. Royal Catch uses humor and heart to tackle sexism in an insightful, delightful and always entertaining way. Gabriel and Anna blend over the top fantasy with modern fairytale and witty dialogue, to create irresistible romance.
