!!!!!!! Make sure if you bought this before 12/27/13, UPDATE IT! New Edited Version available!!!!!!
Book One of The Switching Tracks Series
Rory is a simple girl in a simple world. It wouldn’t take much to make her happy, but that’s a goal she gave up on long ago. Now her only goal is to simply, survive. Rory used to count down the days until she could leave, but now with a younger brother in tow, it would be hard she could never leave him. Rory is trapped in the Trailer Park like a princess in her tower, with her mother playing the big bad drunken fire breathing dragon. The dream of her knight coming to save her faded away about the same time her goals changed. Feeling useless and angry Rory starts her new school and gets trampled by none other than Monroe Falls Golden Boy Tobias West. She finds herself seeing him as the knight she dreamed of, though she believes it to be just that, a dream. Tobias (Toby) is Mr. Popular/ Mr. Perfect/ Mr. Money in the bank. He is too high on the social ladder to step down to her level. Or was he?
Toby was smitten with Rory. Toby’s ex, Ashley refuses to lose out to trailer park trash, and Rory finds herself the fuel to Ashley’s new found hate. On top of Monroe Falls High School drama, Rory still has to deal with her drunken mother and needy brother. She doesn’t have time for childish games. Reality hits Rory hard when her mother brings home a ticking time bomb for a bed mate and the need for that shiny knight becomes real.
Rome appears like she conjured him up out of thin air with magical powers, and instantly becomes her best friend. He seems to always be around when she needs someone to talk to and seems to always know just how to fix it. (Did I mention he is drop dead beautiful?) Two knights in shining armor? Nope!! That doesn’t happen, not in fairy tales, and definitely not in real life. Rory finds herself realizing there is a thin line between relationships and friendships lines that are starting to blur. Toby is getting ready to leave for college, Ashley’s nonstop meanness, and Rome showing up can Rory handle the pressure?
Her old friend reality takes another whack at her, causing her dread and despair to take over. Rory is questioning herself and its wrecking havoc on the strong girl she’s always considered herself to be. Has her poor choices doomed her to life in the trailer park or will she be able to exceed even her own expectations? Will she ever realize she is truly a princess worthy of getting her prince? Or will she simply survive? How does Rory’s story end?
This book is suited best for readers over the age of 17 due to sexual content and some language. As well as a few different types of abuse that is rarely talked about. (Verbal, Mental, and to some extent sexual and psychical)

About the author
Delia Steele
6 books83 followersI live in Mississippi better known as “THE SIP”,were I was born and raised, except for a short time I spent wondering the beaches of Destin Florida. I have two wild and weird (I’m told they take after me) kids, Dominick & Oliviana, who are the light in my life and married to a very patient and loving man named Rob. I work a full time job Monday – Friday in collections (No I didn't call you). I am half Mexican and half American in other words I AM BROWN! =] I enjoy singing extremely loud thou I can’t really, dancing around for hours which I do often, and watching my kids just be kids. I enjoy old music and great books. I am eclectic, and I’m pretty much always happy. I believe we should all have fun sometimes and then when we do something stupid, WE SHOULD WRITE ABOUT IT! If I could be anything when I grow up (yes when I grow up because I currently refuse to) I would want to be a full time superhero. Wear awesome boots, have long full flowing hair, wear my panties on the outside of my clothes (and have it be ok), ride on a magical horse with wings, and save the world. Who wouldn’t want to do that?

I did not like the style if writing at all. The story was good. A little unorthodox. 2.5 stars.

I received an arc of this book for a review. Well I have to say Trailer Park Princess by Delia Steele was awesome! A story about a teenage girl that was a dealt a bad hand from the day she was born.
I have never lived in a trailer or a trailer park, but Delia has a way of describing it that makes you want to think twice about living in one.
The story is about a teenage girl,Rory, that has had to grow up too fast. She has a younger brother that she has to take care of beause her mother is a drug addict and alcohlic that never wanted children to begin with. Some days shes there and others she may be gone for days. But never sober or straight. Rory is a teenage girl in a new town in a new school. She has met one friend here and only one friend. She never had many friends before because her mother moved from town to town while she was growing up. This time shes staying put! No matter what she has to do to support her brother and her.
Rory's first day of school here she is more or less ran over by the star football player and one very good looking young man. Almost intstantly she becomes more than just a hit and run. Toby is not the average guy to date if your living in a trailer park. Hes from an upstanding family, only child and wealthy. Rory is not the type of girl his mother wants him to date. If Rory is going to date him he has told her that he will never come to a complete stop to pick her up for a date because if he comes to a complete stop the place may suck him in and he plans on getting her out of there. They have a typical boyfriend /girlfriend relationship but being from the wrong side of the track no one paticularly likes her and especially Toby's ex. She is out to make Rory's life a living hell. She is the snob girl we all knew in high school that thinks she better than anyone else. Rory is a year behind Toby because of all the moving her mother has put them thru and caused her to fall behind but not because of Rorys grades. Shes smart and does well in school.
One night one of her mothers many one night stands decides to take advantage of Rory. Her mother being passed out Rory is screaming. A young man going by hears her screams goes in to help her. In comes this beautifully built good looking young man she has no idea where he came from. Rome is his name and he is raising his 2 much younger brothers after the death of his mother. He lives a few trailers up from Rory. Their relationship blooms into good friends. But Toby is a jealous guy and doesnt want anything to do with him. Rory tries to set Rome up with her best friend "Mando" (short for Amandolette). She has mixed feelings about it but she loves Toby and he has plans for them when they graduate. Prom night comes and Toby is not happy that Rome is there with Mando. So he sits with his ex thru prom til Mando tells him how it is. After Prom Rory and Toby go to their favorite place. Toby takes things a little farther than Rory wants.
From here on the story changes from Toby & Rory to Rome & Rory.
I loved all the charactures in the book. They have a special place in Rorys life. Where are your friends now after graduation?
Did they go to college? Or did they stay behind and start families in their home town? Read the story and find out what Rory does after high school. Does she graduate? You'll have to read to find out!
A definite 5 star for me. I loved Rory's story and Im sure everyone else will too.

Im going to apologize in advance if this may seem harsh.
I don't even know where to start with Trailer Park Princess. The blurb was awesome and thought it has potential. Then I started reading the actual book.There were words miss-spelled. Words that did not belong in lieu of other words.For instance there was one set of words that should have been written as Left alone and it was written as Little Alone.These mistakes are all over the entire book.So much so that I am having a hard time understanding all the 5 star reviews. There is a time when an editor is needed or a beta reader or something to step up and say there are a ton of errors in this book way to many to publish the book with. It feels like this was maybe rushed or something to get published.Next time please either hire an editor or have a few beta's read this for spelling and language errors.I promise it will help immensely.Oh and smiley faces do not belong in the middle of a narrative in the story.

Trailer Park Princess is a new kind of spectacular! From page one I was dragged in! The book moves fast pace. Not the fast pace where you are telling the author to slow down but the fast pace where you don’t want the book to end. I didn’t, in reality I could have read the book and never want it to end because this story just kept getting better. The one thing I didn’t like was the fall in love superfast part. I am not into the love at first glance and what not. I hated Tobias that may be why it bugged me, but in reality it is a little cliché. I liked how it went fast though; it made it more acceptable and more believable. The best thing happened from that cliché and I am so happy it did! It made the conclusion of this story just simply amazing so that is another reason why the love at first sight was acceptable to me. The turns this story took were amazingly plotted out and were achieved without flaw. Trailer Park Princess will definitely hit my top 2014 reads shelf!
I love the commentary by the main character Rory. She is what all female leads should have in their character, spunk, huge mouth, bad attitude, and very witty. One thing I can say is that she is a girl you’d want by your side for the rest of your life. She is straight forward and doesn’t keep what she is thinking from slipping out. This book will bring you a new kind of hatred for men, but it will also bring you a new type of understanding of what love can give you in life. Trailer Park Princess brings you a lot of tears and leaves you with a heavy heart. Saying that if you are faint of heart I would say bring tissues for a few parts that may be too much for some people to handle but if you have experience in things that are involved in this story like I do, you will be fine it just may bring up some locked away memories and feelings. I can say this book brought me back to a past I do my best to forget but it brings me a type of closure most people won’t understand. Just read the book and enjoy it like I did.
In this book you are taught <--- (YES you learn!) that everything in life isn’t what it seems. The thing is, this book gives you (as a person) insight on how your life could have been growing up. I mean all the crap things, near death and rape experiences, actual life threatening experiences, and alcoholic parents that could give a crap less about you. You also learn to appreciate what you do have and if you have come far then great appreciate that and if not? Work your butt off until it happens! You learn that family is what matters most in the world and nothing will change your mind on that. Another thing to take from this story is that everything in life isn’t given and by reading this you will learn that some people in fact have to work their butts off just to get food and water in their bodies. As a child my life sucked (not willing to go into details) and you learn that you may in fact have to work for everything you have ever wanted, whether it is simple as getting an “A” on a test or to pay your bills as a young person raising themselves.
Like Rory I was that person, a straight “A” student with a past that would make most people cry. I don’t ask for sympathy because my terrible childhood is what brought me here today. Having a bad past can take you two places, the place of me and Rory, or the place of Ashley. Rory and I took the crap life we were given and made it into something amazing. Ashley on the other hand took what happened in her life and became a bully, which is no excuse but her way of coping with how crappy she had it. There are also things you learn in life that teach you that no matter how low you feel there is always a reason to wake up tomorrow. My reason is my rock, like in this story Rory has her own rock “Rome” he is what gets her out of bed in the morning. She doesn’t realize until so far into the story but you know it is there the whole time. He is her happy place, the place that doesn’t change and will stay that way forever. I can appreciate this book for the awesome qualities it has shown.
When you read the title Trailer Park Princess you probably think “WOW this book sound BadA$$” but in reality it is SO much more. This book brings you hatred of teens and growth of adults. You experience pure hatred to some and a newfound love for others. The love described in this book is not what you think. I am talking about the kind of love you hold close to your heart and cherish not the sappy “puppy love” or “love for friends” I mean the true love of family, the love that is hard to come by. The love shown in this book is so tender and wholly. I love all the family grown in this story. The people you’d least expect to be amazing are the ones with the best love to give. The way each of them looks after each other and respects one another is something I didn’t have growing up and it is heartwarming to know it can exist whether it is fictional or not.
Her characters are quite the bunch. I mean that in the nicest way, her characters only grow and continue to make me happy. (Excluding one that will not be named.) Her main character is by far my favorite female leads EVER! (Eva) lol. We can relate a lot and I think that is where my love of this character starts. She is so strong, sweet, kind, and has one of the most loving and forgiving hearts. Rory is unlike any character I’ve had a chance to read about. Then there is Mando, she is a kid at heart, she is independent, strong, and packs a wild/mean punch. She does not take no for an answer and if you need a shoulder to cry on, a person to defend you, or even a person to make you smile, she is that girl. Rome is what you look for in a future husband, he’s supportive, loving, carefree, and loves you unconditionally. He is strong and what makes him that way is his love for family and the people he brings into his life. He appreciates everything and that makes his not only a great character but a loving soul. All in all something all these characters have in common is strength, LOVE in its strongest, and family as it’s fullest. This book and its amazing characters will stick with me forever and I mean “EVA.”
In conclusion, I haven’t read a book this eye opening in quite some time but I can also say I have NEVER read a book like this. I mean some books have similar qualities and similar things involved but nothing can compare to the setting, lingo, experiences, and the reality of this story. What this book has accomplished for me is something different and I will appreciate that for sure. I am very happy I chose to read this book and am glad I liked it. Being the picky reader that I am, I am happy when I get the opportunity to read a book that I actually enjoy and read exceptionally fast.

Update!! I have received an updated edited version of Trailer Park Princess and now it is pure perfection. Please make sure to update your version so that you receive the most up to date copy. :) Happy Reading.
"I received a complementary unedited copy of Trailer Park Princess. Please note that I did not take grammar/spelling into consideration when reading and review this book."
I feel so honored when a new author asks me to review their work. I love to see how an author's writing grows and matures as they continue on their writing adventure. It takes someone with some pretty big cojones to put their hard work and talent out there for everyone to judge and pick apart, so my hat is off to Author Delia Steele for jumping into this with guns blazing. She has talent, ambition and a wonderful attitude and personality to take on the publishing world.
Now for the good stuff
Rory is from the other side of the tracks. Most would consider her trailer trash. She live in a trailer park with her alcoholic mother and little brother, who she cares for as a mother would. Rory doesn’t live the typical teen life, but that doesn’t stop her from dreaming that one day her prince will come and rescue this “Trailer Park Princess”.
However when Rory meets Tobias (Toby) she believes him to be her prince charming. Toby promises to take her away from all the sorrow and ugliness in her life, like that of Toby’s ex-girlfriend Ashley who mercilessly humiliates Rory.
But wait life has other plans for Rory, and Toby may not be as charming as she believes him to be.
As fate would have it Rory is rescued by a dark knight (ok tan). Rome is from a few trailers down and comes to Rory’s rescue in a time she most desperately needs him. With both being from the same world Rory and Rome form an unbreakable friendship, one that is sure to last a life time.
Now with both Rome and Toby in the picture things begin to quickly change and Rory finds herself in quite a predicament. Who does she choose or does she even have to make that choice??? (This is where you have to read the book to get all the juicy details)
I absolutely loved Rory’s story. She is strong, intelligent, hardworking and can kick some serious butt. I found her easy to relate to and her story is one that is believable and very true in some circumstances. In addition to Rory she has a one of a kind best friend to help support her throughout a very trying time. Rory may not be rich but she is rich in life. Her best friend Amandolette (Mando) has got to be one of the best characters I have ever met in a book. Mando means business when it comes to her BFF so watch out because this girl will take your head off and do it with style. Mando was absolutely hilarious and I can really see the author’s personality come out in her. We meet many other character throughout Rory's story. Some may be enemies and some may surprise you when they turn out to be friends. Goodness knows I love a plot twist that could lead to another book.
Author Delia Steele did a remarkable job at tying up the story and giving the reader their HEA we all search for in a good book. I hope to read more from Delia Steele and look forward to seeing her expand her growing talent as an author.
Some of my favorite Mando quotes
“Aintcha ugly ass got knocked the fuck out enough this year, you frumpy looking, douche discharge oompa loompa twat snot?”
“Ha! Rory I see your coochie and there is a head in it.”
“Rory my God, the boy is a genius. I am going to refer to him as Captain Manmeat from now on”
Okay I never said she was a proper lady but boy is she funny and fiercely protective of her friends. As far as I'm concerned Mando is golden in my book. Rory loves her friend like a sister and will do whatever she needs to be there for her. Friendship like this is hard to find and I was happy to see it expressed so well in Trailer Park Princess.

Mando means business when it comes to her BFF so watch out because this girl will take your head off and do it with style. Mando was absolutely hilarious and I can really see the author’s personality come out in her. We meet many other character throughout Rory's story. Some may be enemies and some may surprise you when they turn out to be friends. Goodness knows I love a plot twist that could lead to another book.
Author Delia Steele did a remarkable job at tying up the story and giving the reader their HEA we all search for in a good book. I hope to read more from Delia Steele and look forward to seeing her expand her growing talent as an author.
Some of my favorite Mando quotes
“Aintcha ugly ass got knocked the fuck out enough this year, you frumpy looking, douche discharge oompa loompa twat snot?”
“Ha! Rory I see your coochie and there is a head in it.”
“Rory my God, the boy is a genius. I am going to refer to him as Captain Manmeat from now on”
Okay I never said she was a proper lady but boy is she funny and fiercely protective of her friends. As far as I'm concerned Mando is golden in my book. Rory loves her friend like a sister and will do whatever she needs to be there for her. Friendship like this is hard to find and I was happy to see it expressed so well in Trailer Park Princess.

**DEBBIE'S REVIEW**
Meet Rory, extremely smart but born into a life no one would ask for. Her mother was your typical trailer park trash. Drunk and had men in and out of their disgusting broken down trailer. Rory was taking care of her younger brother and became a mother to him instead of a sister. One day she bumps into and I mean literally bumps into Toby. The boy from the other side of the tracks. Quarterback of the football team. Hot and real popular. Now here is where it gets interesting. What is the all-american boy doing with the girl from the wrong side of the tracks? Well not to give much away but when you add over protective, controlling parents that you want to stick it to into the mix you can figure it out.
"She was fun for me, something different and off limits, My parents hated her, and I had the need to rebel.”
Now to even add more drama into the mix you have Ashley, Toby’s ex and high school’s queen bitch. Little do you know she is carrying some heavy baggage. That explains her attitude towards Rory.
So Toby and Rory are a couple? Hmmm??? This is where the plot thickens and you really start to feel bad for Rory. Toby will not even stop at her trailer to drop her off. He drives real slow and she has to jump out!!!! Seriously??? I am yelling at my kindle… Rory, Hello!!!, he is a ass! You deserve so much better. The problem is she doesn’t see that. She sees herself as the white trash the whole town has condemned her to be.
Well gotta love Mando. She is Rory’s BFE (best friend ever) She is funny and witty and she had Rory’s back.
"Mando squalls, taking in the scene. “Ha! Rory, I see your coochie, and there is a head in it.”
Mando's parents own the diner that Rory works at to support her and her brother.
Lets not forget Rome! Hello Mr. Bad Boy HOTTIE himself. He saves Rory one night from being attacked by one of her mothers Johns. They pretty much hit it off right away and you can feel the chemistry between those two. He is older and lives in the same trailer park with his two brothers that he has taken care of since there mother died of cancer.
Rome and Rory start hanging out and she thinks of him as an older brother. He has a different view of her but she is so wrapped up in trying to hang on to Toby (the ass) she doesn’t see it.
"Rome is untouchable to me. Older, HOT, bad boy, baggage…and then there’s Toby.”
“By the way, I may have seen a lot in my life, but your peep show tonight was bar none the best ever. Proof of how perfect you truly are.”
Prom comes and thanks to her BFE, Mando she has a dress that she didn’t pick off the racks of the local Thrift Shop. Toby basically rapes Rory and yes took her V card! She tries to defend his actions and again I am yelling at the kindle for her to wake up!!!
Rory ends of pregnant and by the time she finds out Toby is long gone off to college to play football. She is alone in a crappy trailer working at a diner and taking care of her brother and now she is pregnant! Rome being the man that he is once he learns about the baby coming takes on the “baby daddy” role. Rome is the man that everyone dreams off.
"I may not be the dad, but I will be here every step of the way if she lets me.”
"I have loved her from the second I found out Rory was pregnant, and I have not missed anything in her life. I never will miss anything. Nothing will change it.”
Well I don’t want to give everything away but there are lots of twists in the plot that had me screaming at my kindle.
"Rome, from day one you have been a lifeline for me. You have saved me from everything, including myself.”
"Toby was my best mistake. He was the road that led me home. Who knew when he plowed me over all those years ago in the hallway, it would land me right here. Not taking up space, but residing in Rome. This is my life, I am home.”

I was sent a copy of this for an honest review so here it is.....
I really enjoyed this book. I was looking forward to reading it from just reading the synopsis and it paid off.
The book is around Rory you'll love her straight away. She is as the books says a trailer park princess. Stuck in her Trailer tower waiting on her prince charming to save her from her alcoholic mam. Not only to save her though,but also Thax her kid brother. She is more his mam then big sister. Working her butt off after school taking any hours she can take at her friends parents diner to keep them a float.
Then one day her prince charming literally bumps right into her in school. Tobias West. The golden boy who has the best of everything in life. All star sports player,good church going boy and member of the community. Rory falls for Toby(Tobias)hard. He is so sweet to her,and the fact that she's from the wrong side of the tracks means nothing to him. He begin's her fairytale,or so she thinks. Things with Toby start falling apart. He becomes less charming. Not standing up for her when friends put her down. Or when his ex Ashley gets hand on or bitchy. She is out to get pure Rory,thinking that Toby will always be hers. He doesn't even say anything when his mam literally say's "take the trash out with you and don't bring it back". Yep she's just that evil. Her golden boy is way to good for Rory in her eyes.
Rory lets in go though. She has a weak spot when it comes to him. He's the man in her life and she'll stand by him. Well he is the man in her life until one night she needs saving from one of her mothers over friendly 'friends'. Like a white night he just appears from no where. Rome,in all his glory. And boy is he good looking. Wipe drool from your face kind! After her near attack he demands(in a a nice way) that she come's back to his trailer so he can make sure her mam's 'friend' doesn't wake up and try anything again.
After that night a bond is formed. Best friends that will never be seperated. To say Toby isn't pleased would be an understatement. He he pleased he save Rory from been attacked don't get me wrong. He is just not pleased with there blooming friendship. And it is one heck of a friendship. He stands by her no matter what.
Then something happens that turns her life upside down. She needs Rome more then ever. This is something life changing and she doesn't no what to do. Her life will never be the same again. But that can't push Rome from her. He's her best friend,if anything this just makes there friendship even stronger.
This book shocked me. It didn't go how I taught it would. Although I had the book planned put from reading chapter on,LOL. So it was a good shake up to the story. You will really enjoy this book. So give it a chance. Let Rory take you to her trailer castle. And listen to her fairy tale. It's like nothing you will have read before :)

Series: Switching Tracks #1
Category - Genre: N/A - Contemporary Romance
Received from: Delia Steele (in exchange for an honest review)
Tour by: Just One More Romance Book Tours
Recommended for: 18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing: B – a few small errors
Aurora 'Rory' Wilde has lived in a succession of miserable trailers, moving often with her alcoholic mother and dodging the advances of her mother's boyfriends. On the first day at yet another new school, she is run over in the hall by the BMOC. Toby West is her knight in a big black pick-up truck. The night her mother brings home an especially persistent man, another knight presents himself. Her neighbor, Rome Tate, saves her that night and keeps on picking up the pieces of her broken life. With two knights in shining armor attending to her, Rory finds that relationships and friendships are complex. Can she be rescued from her tin castle in the trailer park to become the Princess her knight pursues? Which knight?
This is a very well-written story with clearly developed characters. I love Rory and her BFE (best friend eva'), Amandolette. They have a relationship that is so true, quirky, and honest. Toby is an odd duck. He has told Rory he won't stop the truck in the trailer park to pick her up or drop her off. Instead, he slows down and expects her to jump in or out! Poor, lost Rory buys into his explanation that he doesn't want to be sucked into the trailer park, but will instead pull her out. Since leaving is her dream, and not knowing she should expect better from other people, she accepts it. In my opinion, it should have been her first hint that he didn't respect her at all. This is juxtaposed by his ability to be truly loving and sweet. The way he celebrated their one year anniversary of dating was swoon-worthy. Then there is the tattooed mechanic, Rome. He has shown maturity beyond his years, since his mother died and left him with two younger brothers to raise. He is the knight I would choose. He is older, not in school, and has a temper, but he also a great capacity for gentleness and gentlemanliness. My heart cries for Rory and all that she has endured, while maintaining her naiveté and innocence!
This is the first in a series, but completely stands on its own. I hope the second book will be about Amandolette and the HEA she should find.

My granny always said, “Rory, baby, you are a dreamer,” and if she was here now, I would tell her it’s because when you live a nightmare you have to dream, or you will never make it.
Rory ~ First and for most, I found myself respecting her outlook on life through out the book! Even though for a few months there she does travel down the wrong path, when she finally straightens herself out she turns into a very well liked and respected woman! I truly loved how she DID try to tell Toby, but in the end I also understood why she didn't just go to him and tell him. I mean she believed he knew even though he didn't!
Toby ~ I never did warm up to him the whole they dated in H.S.! He was on the verge of emotional abuse towards her a few times! And then towards the end there he became so distant with her. I seriously thought he was doing more than he owned up too. Even though nothing is ever said! But I did come to respect him in end, on how stepped up and took responsibility and didn't try to take her away!
Rome ~ From the get go you can tell he cares very much for Rory but holds himself back! He patiently waits for her to open her eyes to see what is right in front of her eyes! I loved how he took care of his 2 brothers and then takes care of Rory & Thax without a second thought about it! Even when Toby comes back I found myself scared for him, he seriously thought he might lose everything he had and loved!
"You don’t mean anything to me; you mean everything to me. You are the only woman who can make my heart smile like this. Every time I look at you, I want to stop what I am doing and write you a love song."
Overall this turned out so much better than I first thought! It had me giggling throughout the whole book right up to the last sentence! I do recommend to everyone!
Remember when you stop searching, hunting, and digging for love, you FALL in love.

I finished this book awhile ago and have been meaning to write a review, but life kept getting in the way. I really like this book. Rory is sassy and a strong female character. She working her butt off at school and a job not just for her but her brother. She meets the man of her dreams (or so she might think) Tobias West. He is the cookie cutter image of perfection, up standing member of the community, popular and seems to really like her no matter if she is from the “wrong side of the tracks”. However, he proves with little actions here and there especially with his ex Ashley that he may not have the backbone needed to make their relationship last. Than sweeps in Rome…. Right time to save Rory from a very bad situation… And WOW… he may not have all the credentials as Tobias, but does he have something Tobias doesn't, Rory’s back. They cement a friendship I was even jealous of. Rome cares for Rory in a way she has never really had before. And to say Tobias isn't happy is an understatement. What I really enjoyed about this book was any preconceived notion I had about the outcome was proven wrong. This is a great strive for a new author and a must read.

♕ Review of Trailer Park Princess by Delia Steele ♕
Title: Trailer Park Princess Author: Delia Steele
Publication: AVAILABLE NOW
*This book is suited best for readers over the age of 17 due to sexual content and some language, as well as a few different types of abuse that are rarely talked about: Verbal, Mental, and to some extent, Sexual and Physical*
One man's trash is another man's treasure!
Aurora (Rory) isn't your typical girl next door. Not unless your house has wheels under it. Having to be the grown-up in her home and taking care of her little brother, Thax. Rory doesn't know life any other way.
Being in a new place isn't easy for Rory, but all that changes when she meets Toby. The All American Douche bag (Sorry, but you'll learn and agree with me!)
Having the 'Golden Boy' who has a five year plan and a future as your boyfriend is huge, especially if your the girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
Toby. Toby is someone I would like to lung punch. Sorry, I got sidetracked... back to it!
With months passing and new hurdles popping up in their way. Rory will see sides of Toby she didn't know existed, or just didn't want to admit to.
The boy who was suppose to be her knight in shinning armor from across the tracks. Isn't that at all. With sweet nothings and promises of a better life and leaving the trailer park behind... he gave her promises he couldn't keep, or maybe he never had the intention to.
"You're beautiful, baby. Your eyes are so amazing. The first time I ever say you, I belonged to you."- Toby
When Rory needed someone the most, that's when the hot guy from a few trailers down enters her life. Rome... or should I say Romeo? He will help heal the horrible wounds Toby has created.
"Goodbye, my first lust: hello, my first love."- Rory
Rome and Rory are two peas in a pod (DO YOU LIKE THAT ) Having grown up just alike and stepping in to raise their siblings. They will create an unbreakable bond. He's her Knight on a bike!
"I will wait...I will wait for you."- Rome
Year's passing, wounds closing and hearts opening. Their life is finally perfect with their four pod. But in Rory's world, perfect doesn't last.
"Toby was my best mistake. But he was the road that lead me home."- Rory
The arrival of Toby, everything will change. Secrets will be reveal and mistakes will be corrected, but will Rory be able to forget and forgive?
Trailer Park Princess is an AMAZE-BALL story. I LOVED and devoured it! Rory is such a great character. She has everything one needs to be awesome. She is flawed and add in her nervous habit, she is like any normal girl. Toby... I still hate him, but maybe a little less. Yeah, I said it! He redeemed his self in the end, but I would still like to lung punch him and maybe put a crown on him and have him parade around the trailer park. Oh yeah! I like that idea!!! The things he said and did pissed me off. Rome, oh Romeo! Hell yeah! Can I have him? He comes in right when Rory needed him and stepped up when he didn't have to. Only if some men where like this fictional character. Mando- I have a girl crush on her. She's funny as hell and gives the story the little craziness it needs.
Mando is like the Unikitty from the Lego's Movie. Ha, I like that! Throwing sparkles and shit, but will bite you if you mess with her loved ones.
What I really enjoyed about this story is it's resembles real life. There is a girl out there like Rory. I was a trailer park princess for at one time and I wore my crown proudly. There are parts that will make you laugh your ass off. Parts you will want to scream and possibly cry. Delia wrote such a great, witty, funny, loving and diverse story. She gives us everything we could possibly want and need in a book... and wraps it up in a thrift store bow. 5 huge sparkly stars for this book!
Quotes from Mando that made me crack up-
"I'll be the Hispanic version of ANA, and all the boys will want to spank me."
"Ha! Rory, I see your coochie, and there is a head in it."
New words I learned:
*Twat Snot
*Douche Discharge
NOW I NEED MANDO'S STORY!!!
You want this awesome story? Well, push this!

Trailer Park Princess was a great read! It's filled with characters you can relate to, ones who are living through real-world problems some people face. There are both heart-warming and heart-wrenching moments. Sometimes you will love these characters; other times you will want to kick them in their unmentionables. Either way, you can't help but be drawn into Rory's story, hoping she finds her HEA.
Rory is probably one of the most responsible characters you will ever read. She is kind and forgiving - almost to a fault - and she always puts the needs of others above her own, including raising her younger brother in place of her basically absent mother. She's strong and independent and simply trying to make the best of the crap hand life has dealt her. She may seems sweet and naive, but she turns into a feisty scrapper when you threaten those she loves. Rory has never known what it feels like to be loved, so how could she resist when the town's Golden Boy starts showering her with attention. Rory's falling so hard, she's not sure she'll be able to find her way back.
Rich, charming, and destined for success, Toby is every small town girl's dream. He makes Rory feel things she never imagined, but can she always trust her feelings? Are his crying, begging, and professions of love sincere, or is he just trying to stick it to his uppity parents and snarky ex-girlfriend. He says he wants to save Rory from the park, but his drive-bys would suggest differently.
While Toby is looking the other way, in steps Rome. Rome comes out of nowhere and saves Rory's life when she finds herself in a very compromising situation. Ever the knight, Rome sticks by Rory's side, protecting and supporting her when it feels like the weight of the world will crush her. When Rory's already jacked-up world gets turned upside-down, Rome is there, waiting for the day when she will leave Toby behind and fix her affections on him. He says he'll always be there, but will he eventually grow tired of his friend-only status?
And let's not forget Amandolette: the quirky best friend with a vulgar, unfiltered mouth and a penchant for 80s-style neon and unique accessories. Drawn to Rory despite them being from different sides of the tracks, Mando isn't afraid to speak her mind and is always willing to give Rory a kick in the pants when she needs it.
Clay is a studly sweetheart, and Ashley is a self-absorbed, vindictive "twat-snot." Even though she has her own sob story, it doesn't redeem her of the nastiness and misery she puts Rory through (imo).
There isn't a lot of raunchy sex or any alpha billionaires in this book. It's just the story of a young girl who's fighting the odds while she searches for herself and her version of HEA. This is a must-click for those looking for a refreshing read that will touch your soul. Buy it. Read it. Love it.

When Rory's already jacked-up world gets turned upside-down, Rome is there, waiting for the day when she will leave Toby behind and fix her affections on him. He says he'll always be there, but will he eventually grow tired of his friend-only status?
And let's not forget Amandolette: the quirky best friend with a vulgar, unfiltered mouth and a penchant for 80s-style neon and unique accessories. Drawn to Rory despite them being from different sides of the tracks, Mando isn't afraid to speak her mind and is always willing to give Rory a kick in the pants when she needs it.
Clay is a studly sweetheart, and Ashley is a self-absorbed, vindictive "twat-snot." Even though she has her own sob story, it doesn't redeem her of the nastiness and misery she puts Rory through (imo).
There isn't a lot of raunchy sex or any alpha billionaires in this book. It's just the story of a young girl who's fighting the odds while she searches for herself and her version of HEA. This is a must-click for those looking for a refreshing read that will touch your soul. Buy it. Read it. Love it.

Once I started reading Trailer Park Princess I was hooked. Delia did a fabulous job of hooking her readers in and delivering a fabulous, heart felt story of love and acceptance.
Rory is a quirky teen from the wrong side of the tracks. She spits out random facts when she is nervous and she loves with all of her heart. Her father left her, her mother is a drunk that wants nothing to do with her, and she has taken on the responsibility of raising her younger brother in a run down trailer park. She was dealt a terrible hand and despite the fact, she still dreams about being rescued by her prince charming. “My granny always said, “Rory, baby, you are a dreamer,” and if she was here now, I would tell her it’s because when you live a nightmare you have to dream, or you will never make it”.
When Rory meets Toby, she thinks her dreams are becoming a reality. The high school football star is good looking, popular, sweet and rich. He promises to take her away from the trailer park life and give her everything she deserves. Toby is a sweetheart in the beginning but then things start to change. The fact that Toby is rich causes some issues in their relationship and sometimes things aren’t as great as they seem.
Enter Rome. On the night that Rory desperately needs to be rescued by her prince charming, it is Rome who shows up to save her. Rome is also from the trailer park and quickly becomes one of Rory’s best friends. He is charming and sweet, caring and compassionate, and fiercely protective of her. It is obvious that he cares for more as more than a friend but he holds his feelings back to let Rory live her life. "You don’t mean anything to me; you mean everything to me. You are the only woman who can make my heart smile like this. Every time I look at you, I want to stop what I am doing and write you a love song." SWOON!!!
Delia did an excellent job with this book and it far exceeded my expectations. Her writing style is unique and she has created dynamic characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. Mando’s mouth is hysterical. I love that she writes in a way that feels like the characters are speaking directly to you. This was my first read from Delia and it certainly wont be my last!
When situations arise and the tension escalates will Rory turn to Toby or Rome? Well, you will just have to read and find out.

This little gem of a book has been lying on my kindle for a few months now, but I was never able to find the time to read it. Well i'm so glad I made the time because I would have missed out on one hell of a story!
As the title suggests it centres around the happening and people in a trailer park, because I live in the UK i've no really knowledge of these places, Delia's portrayal of this way of life place had me in tears at times I felt such sadness and empathy at was heart breaking.
The trailer park princess, Rory is an eighteen year old who is operating way above her years because she has had too with a good for nothing mother and a younger brother to look after she is a strong level headed wise young woman who I really liked she never moaned about their way of life but just accepted it and got on with it !!!
Her one mistake was falling for popular rich jock Toby, not for his money or status but because she loved just him !!!!! There were times during this book where I wanted to just hit and scream at Toby, he never deserved such a sweet girl as Rory. Then there were times I really wanted to scream at Rory too !!!!
And then in walks Rome a true knight in shiny amour who saves Rory from a terrifying situation, he is sweet, funny, sexy ( Hell I wanted Rome) he is prefect, so why couldn't Rory see this !!!!!
There are so many twists and turns in this story that it takes the reader on one hell of a ride, loved that there were a few different POVs along the way which added to the depth of the story. The banter between Rory and her BFE( best friend ever) Mando is so funny it had me laughing out loud at times.
The only negative about this book is I craved a bit more chemistry between the characters, I like to feel the excitement of that first kiss and I felt this was missing, but hey that's just me !!!!
I hope this is something Delia will work on as I would love to read more of her work.
Looking for a book from the other side of the tracks?
look no further cause here it is !
A few of my fave quotes
I smile, and he is gawking like a teenage boy at a Bunny Brothel!
"So Princess, you gave away the golden key to the court jester huh ?"

Once i started reading Trailer Park Princess i was hooked! Its not your normal book of pretend it was a real life situation. This story hit very close to home for me. Rory lives with her mother and brother in a trailer. They are a low-income family who have moved around a lot. Rory has lived a life she doesn't deserve! shes had to grow up way to fast to take care of her brother! Her mother is a drunk and is never home but when she is she always has a new guy with her. Rory learned how to keep her mothers boy toys away!
Rory has been dating Toby for about a year. He is rich, popular, and a football player. She loves him but starts to realize that things between them are not so great when he introduces Rory to him mother and she does not like her. While Tody's mother is saying mean things to Rory, Toby does nothing to defend her and to top that off you have Ashley Toby's Ex right there trying to do everything to come between them.
Now there is Rome!! He is such a sweetheart! Hes loving, caring and would do anything for anyone! He meets Rory one night when he hears yelling and struggling coming from Rory's trailer. He goes in and saves her. The become friends instantly. Toby does not like Rory and Rome's friendship and after they break up. Toby leaves for college and comes back a couple years later to discover that he has been lied to for a long time and discovers something he did not know!

I was given Trailer Park Princess by Delia Steele for an honest review for Through the Booking Glass Blog.
Rory stays to herself. She has bright red hair, thrift store clothes, and bright green eyes. Trailer Park Princess shows very much how an intelligent, hardworking, strong woman can push through any obstacles that are thrown at her. With the help of her family and friends, Rory accomplishes so much more in her life that she thought she ever would.
Toby is the Quarterback of the football team. He has a beautiful smile and all the girls adore him. But once he lays his eyes on Rory he is hooked. Toby comes from a family with a lot of money and his mother thinks that Rory is trailer trash and not good enough for him. But Toby loves her anyways, until Rome comes around.
Rome came into Rory’s life like a knight in shining armor. After rescuing Rory when she needed saving he hasn’t left since. Rome adores Rory, but because she has a boyfriend keeps his distance.
Mando, Rorys best friend has a personality of her own. Always setting trends and not caring what comes out of her mouth. Mando was loud and perky, but always spoke the truth. She was by far my favorite character in the book! Several times reading it she had me laughing.
After several years, and several obstacles Rory is happy. Everything fell into place after she struggled her whole life. I loved the whole story. It’s so true on so many levels that teenagers these days deal with most of the things in this book. This story shows that if it happens there is always hope.

Sometimes a book just comes out where you have no words to describe how it makes you feel and this is one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed every drop of emotion this author wrote about real life. Every taboo topic was hit upon and expressed in this book from Child Abuse, Bully's, Prom Night Pressure, Socialism, Peer Pressure and just down right Judgement. Oh and let's not forget about Book Abuse! HA! =)
Rory didn't have the best childhood and grew to be a wonderful strong young woman who rose above abuse and bullies with the aide of some very beautiful friends. She was able to overcome all these hardships and support herself and her little brother. These friends and family absolutely deserve praise for the support and love they showered on Rory, Thax and Saige; Great job to: Mando, Rome, Clay, Denver, Rio, Mrs. Riaz, and yes finally, Ashley and Toby.
I just loved Mando's hilarious commentary. I adored Rome, my heart thumped and stuttered with lust. I worshiped his heroism and family support. Yes I did get a kick out Toby's tenacity of over achievement in sports and first high school love. My heart melted for all the little innocent children portrayed in this wonderful story. I did feel sympathy for Ashley who had no support and was taken advantage of and suffered emotional and physical abuse. Most of all I am overjoyed to find out Zac found his happily ever after!
Thank you Delia Steele for an emotional, hilarious, real-life read!

* I received a copy in exchange for an honest review*
What does happily ever after mean to you?
To Aurora (Rory) it means getting out of the trailer park, getting away from her alcoholic mother , who doesn't seem to care what happens to her kids as long as she can have her fun. And being taken away by her Prince "Charming".. In this case she finds that in Toby.. He is the "Golden Boy" of the town and means everything to her. But due to circumstance she meets what? Another Knight in shining armor?? Rome is a neighbor that shows up when help is needed he is a good guy with a good heart, and not to mention he seems pretty smexy as well.. We also got to meet Rory's best friend and partner in crime Amandolette "Mando" Ruiz and OMG I loved her personality and she definitely had me laughing out loud through-out the book.. But this is not a comedy, it touches some on some very SERIOUS issues. That being said I think Delia did a good job with the character's and their interactions with each other, and whether or not you have lived on "the wrong side of the tracks" the story is relate-able to anyone really. And we find out that sometimes that "Happy Ending" we are desperately searching for, has really been there the whole time. Rory is a strong girl that has been dealt a crappy hand in life, but she has to learn to love herself in order to let the love in she so desperately craves. The story kept me interested and once I got going I could not put it down..

I love a book with a good strong and witty lead female and Delia Steele did not let me down. Rory lives in a Trailer Park and this makes her less than desirable at school. Toby should have been her hero, the handsome popular boy, who liked the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. But right from the part where he wouldn’t stop his truck in the trailer park, only slowed down, and made her jump in did I get a weird vibe about him. Then when he doesn’t stand up for her to his “I’m better than everyone’ mother I decided in my mind he just wasn’t right for someone as smart and strong as Rory! Enter Rome, a hidden hero, I don’t want to give too much away but I LOVED him and was rooting for him for Rory.
Rory has been through so much and it feels like her life is a constant uphill struggle. I think Delia Steel did an excellent job of writing a female lead that is different than most out there. It was nice to see the point of view of a girl from the “poor” part of town and for her not to be ashamed of who she is. I loved that she was determined to do more in life but not at the expense of caring for her little brother.
This story was interesting and the plot well formulated. I did find my copy to have some formatting and grammatical errors but not so much as that it was distracting from my reading.

**I received this book for a honest review**
Rory is a high school student who has had to look out for herself and younger brother for years now. Rory goes to school, work and home. When she meets Toby she sees her knight in armor to rescue her from her trailer park castle. She is so wrapped up in him that she doesn't see his flaws. Like not stopping all the way when he picks her up or drops her off...if that was me it would be "see ya!" Then one night she meets Rome who has his own brothers that he cares for after the death of his mother. But he protects and helps Rory. Rory sees Rome as a savior but that's not how Rome feels. When Rory finds herself scared, alone (almost) and pregnant she also finds her Prince Charming. Some parts of the book seemed a little forced like with the slang terms but they were pretty funny. I don't like how when rape was mentioned it was just played off like no big deal because it is. Overall I enjoyed this book and look forward for the next in the series.

You know the saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"? This book sums it up!
Mando (Rory's best friend) was too funny, so you will definitely get giggles out of it.. Prince Charming turned into an Ahole.. surprise surprise
3/11
I had to come back after thinking a bit about this book to explain my reaction to it.
I loved Delia's writing, the book was good.. when I stated the apple doesn't fall from the tree it was about the heroine, following her mother's footsteps without the drugs and alcohol.
There are too many comments I want to make but do not want to spoil anything. The book is worth reading it's the main character (heroine) that just peed me off several times.

As soon as i seen the cover I was sold. If a cover grabs me 9 out of 10xs I will enjoy book. I really enjoyed it. It was different than most of my reads(it was tame)
My heart ached for Rory. The girl from the wrong side of the tracks that her father left, her mom wanted nothing to do with her or her brother. and and the boy she was in love with was from the rich side. His parents disapproved of her. He never really loved her. I can relate to her to an extent. She has 2 best friends that love her for her.
I couldn't put this book down. i stayed up 2night reading after getting kids to bed. I have gone on little sleep just to read

This story gets a 4.5 from me easily. Delia tells us the story of a great character named Rory and life she is forced to live. The characters, plot, and story are all relatable to reality in many ways. It would be easy to see this story as a real life situation. Everything is very believable and detailed in a manner than you can visually depict life from others points if view. It was a great read and I highly recommend it! There is adult content, so keep that in mind, but over all it is very well done! Can't wait for another read by Delia!

I really liked this book. It's about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks falling for a boy from the right side of the tracks. All the struggles Rory had to go through, taking care of a little brother because of an alcoholic mom that could care less about the 2 of them. I loved how strong of a girl Rory is, even though she had to grow up so fast. I could have killed Toby in many parts of the book lol. Rome is an amazing sweet heart. This book just goes to show you, that no matter how/where you grow up, you can be happy and worth something.

I just simply could NOT put this book down! Once I read chapter one, I read all the way through the nigh until I was finished...just in time to get the kids up! Then it left me wondering what if...and what happens to some of the characters, what possibilities did the author open up for sequel?!?!? There is a sequel right?!?!!? I CANT WAIT to see a little further into the others lives! I simply related to feeling of the characters and their feelings right away and went through a variety of emotions while reading. What a GREAT READ!! Delia hit the ball out of the Trailer Park!!

TPP is very entertaining. This book is for anyone who wants to be inspired. The characters lives are very intertwined and continue to be despite what they must endure. I created a love/ hate relationship Toby. I felt sorry for Rory and yet she is an inspiration to those who have endured struggles throughout there lives. She overcomes so much and shows so much strength and tenacity. Rome stole my heart from the beginning! I didn't want to put the book down.

The story the book tells is amazing. I don't know if my update just didn't work or what, but there were way too many grammatical errors.
I am glad that even though most of the story was in Rory's POV it also had other's POV at just the right times. Being a single mom I don't know how Rory can be so calm... maybe it was having Rome... I guess I need my own Rome now!
