“Be quiet and listen: He is
cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox.
You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are
5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next
Sunday.”
When Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch
Willow as they’re crossing a busy L.A. street, the last thing she expects is
five unwanted predictions as a reward. Who gives someone the winning lotto
numbers then tells them they’ve only got a week to live? And who believes in
that nonsense anyway?
But when the first three predictions come true
within twenty-four hours, Lilah’s disbelief turns to mild panic. She’s further
horrified when she nearly runs a car off the road that belongs to Alistair
Lennox, who just happens to be the illegitimate son of the British king.
While Alistair is intrigued by her preposterous
story, Lilah is adamant about resisting the heat between her and the playboy
prince. If she denies he’s her soulmate, then the last prediction can’t come
true, right? As the days count down, they become maybe
friends…and then maybe more. But between the relentless paparazzi and some
disapproving royals, finding time for love isn’t easy, especially when her days
may be numbered.
Red White and Royal Blue meets The Last Holiday in this
delightfully quirky novel from the New York Times bestselling
author of End of Story, about a woman who unexpectedly finds
"fall in love with a prince" at the top of her bucket list.
My Review: A fun and refreshing read. A little different than what I'm used to by Kylie but I still loved every moment of it.
Lilah leaves her friend early to go home and
care for her sick boyfriend. What wasn't planned was the speeding car and saving
herself and the Good Witch Willow from being hit. In which the good witch gave her
predictions as a thank you. Nonsense really...but when Lilah gets home and the first one was
correct. Then another and a third... well maybe its real after all.
In a mood after another promotion being out of reach, Lilah decides its time to leave. Well, after avoiding a car first and then finding out the person's car she avoided hitting was nonother than Alistair. You know, the supposed soulmate.
Alistair follows her to the bar where they talk and she reveals everything to him. Surprisingly enough, he shows up to her place and they make plans. While overtime developing a friendship.
Que paparazzi, a night spent at a hotel and Lilah being invited to Alistair's home after a day out just increases their connect.
They drink and spend time in the library that Lilah is going to set up for Alistair. 5 years later and this house is barren basically. They talk and reveal more about each other and it just flows between them.
As things progress, it becomes a book you just can't put down. It's fun sweet, whimsical, lighthearted, romantic and everything you expect and more from Kylie.
