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

When I started reading this book I had no idea that it was the 4th book in a series. Thankfully, each book can be read as a standalone. Although I now want to go back and read and those that I have missed, particularly Robbie and Janet’s story. I certainly didn’t feel like that I was missing any important information that was necessary for the story.
I absolutely loved this story and I only have 1 little bad thing to say about the book. Although the characters speak a lot of Scottish words, I have to say that having lived in Glasgow for all 51 years of my life, Glaswegian’s do not say ‘ya Ken’. This is a very Scottish saying but not used in Glasgow. It’s very much used in the East coast. But this is only a very minor point. I loved reading the Scottish words used for the most part.
So getting away from 1 wee silly point, I absolutely loved Phillip and Anna’s story. I love a fake romance story, watching the couple try to fight their real feelings for each other. Phillip and Anna are both amazing characters that I fell in love with. Phillip is totally different from the character that he tries to portray himself as. He’s not the stiff upper class person that he comes across as. There’s so much more to him. Anna is just awesome. As Phillip described her several times – she’s a breath of fresh air. She certainly has none of the airs and graces that the girlfriend of an Earl should have. She’s so down to earth and says exactly what she thinks which makes for some very funny entertaining reading.
Do not let my 1 little moan put you off reading this story, it’s definitely worth the 5 stars I’ve given it.
