Fairly Royal (The Fair Series Book 4) by Grace Grahme – Review by M Policicchio

Fairly Royal by Grace Grahme
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anna has been crushing on Phillip for the last 15 years. Phillip was her brother’s best friend. They practically grew up together. Anna was technically off-limits, bro code and all. All of that changed when Anna kissed Phillip on Halloween, or Samhain as the Scottish call it. What made the situation more confusing was when Phillip kissed Anna the second time.

As Anna is fulfilling her duty to her family by attending more society social events, Phillip has offered to be a guide. When Anna and Phillip have their picture taken together, the media starts to talk about the couple. Phillip hatches a plan, fake date Anna to keep the press and his mother off his back about dating and relationships. Phillip finds that Anna brings out a side of him he thought was long gone due to him caving to the duties and requirements of his family. Anna finds the man behind the mask more intriguing and loveable than Phillip’s public face for which she had already fallen.

When the ghosts of the past threaten their new relationship, Phillip does what he always did, choose honor and family over his own feelings and desires. Does this mean the end for Anna and Phillip?

They tout this as a slow-burn romance, but there is heat and emotion and steam from the very beginning. The characters are smart, funny, witty and real. This was my first book in the series but it was a great one. Even with the Scottish slang thrown in, this was a fast and easy read!! Perfect for afternoons by the beach or pool or just an afternoon relaxing.
