Royal Affair is the first novel in a new contemporary romance series by author Parker Swift. Â Royal Affair is a refreshingly new story with a fresh romance trope, a modern day titled gentleman becomes enamored with a bright young woman and the connection between the pair morphs into a romance. Â Royal Affair is one part dominant/ alpha male romance, part cinderella story, and overall enjoyable romance read.
There is quite a bit to enjoy about reading Royal Affair, the characters are believable, and even though Dylan is a Duke, the story-line is a plausible romance (at least to my romantic reader mind). Â Lydia is easy to relate to, she is a hard-working woman with ambitions and goals. Â Neither Dylan or Lydia were looking for a relationship, and there were complexities because of Dylan’s need to keep his private life private. Â Royal Affair is just the first book in the series, so it’s the book about how their relationship gets started. Â There is definitely more to come for the couple and I am looking forward to reading more of their story.
I can’t say that Royal Affair is the best read ever, but this book is enjoyable and fun to read. Â I enjoyed that it was a bit different from recent books I’ve read. Â I was originally drawn to this book because of the “royal” aspect, it sounded fresh to me and the book was pretty good.
