A Royal Possibility

Rate this book
She’s the girl he can’t forget.
He’s the guy she’d never fall for.

Wesley Hughes fell in love with Annie two years ago, and he never told another soul. It seemed strange to confess love for a girl he’d only spent a week with and had never even taken on a proper date. When he returned home, he knew he might be losing his one shot at true love. However, fate intervenes when his best friend sends him on a month-long business trip back to her family’s palace. Wes’s only goal: to win Annie’s heart.

Princess Annalise thought Wes was handsome…until he opened his mouth. She didn’t trust his charismatic, over-the-top personality, dismissing his flirtation as meaningless flattery. She would’ve been fine never seeing him again, but now Wes is back for a month and her father assigned her the task of being the sole welcoming committee. Annie tries to keep Wes at arm’s length, but the more time they spend together, the more she realizes it will be near impossible not to fall for the one person she vowed she never would.

A Royal Possibility is a novella in the Royal Hearts series. This is a sweet, closed-door romance and can be read as a standalone.

I loved Wes so much in “The Royal Arrangement” and I so hoped he would get his own story and he did! And it does not disappoint! Wes is hilarious! I love his sense of humor so much. He constantly flirts with Annie and I am here for it. Annie is so sweet and she is scared to take Wes seriously but I’m glad she gave him a chance. I love how their relationship develops and it’s just so adorable.

Sweet , sweet story. A bit of a second chance romance since they developed some feelings the first time they met. But they didn't explore those feelings until a second time around. He falls first, with a little bit of forced proximity, since they have to be around each other for a month.

Wes has his sights set on Annie, but Annie believes he's a flirt and couldn't take him serious. He's determined that while he's on a "business trip" for a month , he will use that time to win her over. It's a hard sell because he IS flirtatious and it's hard for her to know when to believe him. But perhaps time together will help them see if they can have a future together?! ❤️

I liked this story. It was my first one by Amanda, and I thought it was the sweetest thing. For me, it was more a 3.5 rounded to 4. I think for me, I struggled to really believe the feelings that were developing between Wes and Annie, on both ends. That said, I loved the banter between them and the swoonworthy kisses. I look forward to reading more of Amanda's stories. She's an amazing writer and I plan to read more books by her. I would recommend this book to others.

Listen, it’s not over until Amanda says it is over. I was so excited whenever I seen that there was going to be a little bit more to this series! 🎉 and can we talk about this cover? Actually ALL of them? So great.
Wes + Annie
PRECIOUS. I truly love a he falls first story. Wes has all the flintiness and sweetness!! Annie thinks he is a player when in reality he only has eyes for her. Wes goes for a “business trip” to her home to see if he can win her over for real this time since the last time they were together it didn’t go over too well. I loved this sweet novella so much! This whole series was soo great and this was the perfect finale! Thank you, Amanda for this wonderful book!

—Quotes
✨“Trust me, one day you will ask me to kiss you.” Wes reached down and gently nudged her chin up until her eyes met his. “And then you’re going to beg me to never stop.”
✨She was the first rain after a drought. The winning goal in overtime for your favorite team. The mountain-top view after a long hike. She was all things refreshing, exciting, and breathtaking wrapped up in a perfect bow.
✨“I don’t want to kiss anyone else, Annie. Just say the word, and I’m yours.”
✨He intertwined his hand with hers, pulling it to his lips and kissing it. “I’ll surprise you forever if you’ll let me.”

A Royal Possibility
by: Amanda Schimmoeller

“Everyone deserves the opportunity to find love.”

~She’s the girl he can’t forget. He’s the guy she’d never fall for…

“There’s no time like the present, I suppose.”

-A Royal Possibility, is a charming sweet novella in the Royal Hearts series. This is a sweet, closed-door romance and can be easily read as a standalone but, this whole series is such a delight. It’s worth reading the whole series! It should also be known that at the end of this book is an epilogue for the whole series. Hold off, if reading out of order.📚🩷

-This short but delightful story, is simply filled wonderfully with lovely banter and so many swoony moments. I enjoyed watching dear Annie spend time with Wes, and seeing Annie realize how it will be near impossible not to fall for the one person she vowed she never would. This story is truly a ‘he falls first’ story... and has such a delightfully fun meet cute! I love that Wes is not afraid to let his intentions towards Annie be known. Seeing how he persisted slow and easy, even with Anne’s hesitations was great. A slow burn that was worth the time and effort. Seeing characters obtain their own happily there after is the best! It’s a short but, delightful story worth the read! I have enjoyed this series and delightfully look forward to more ahead from dear @authoramandaschimmoeller

A Royal Possibility is part of the Royal Hearts series. While you may have a better understanding of all of the relationships within the story if you've read the previous books, this could certainly be enjoyed as a standalone as well. There is a series epilogue at the end that you might want to skip over if you're reading out of order though.

This was such a fun addition to this wonderful series! Wes and Annie are just the cutest together. I love how unapologetically into her he is. This is definitely a 'he falls first' story... and quite literally with a hilarious meet cute! He is not afraid to let his intentions towards Annie be known, and I was absolutely here for it! She's a bit more apprehensive and thinks he's just a flirt... but I loved seeing how he slowly but surely won her over. It was a bit of a slower burn on her part, but absolutely worth the wait! I loved seeing Wes get his happily ever after and catching up with the characters that we met throughout the series. If you've read the previous books, you'll definitely enjoy seeing where our favorite royal couples are in the future with the series epilogue. Though I'm admittedly sad to see this series end--- I adored it so much! I look forward to seeing what Amanda Schimmoeller does next!

A Royal Possibility is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.

Wowza! Talk about gobbling up a book. A Royal Possibility was such a cute way to wrap up the Royal Hearts series, but I must admit I'm going to miss it so much! Wes and Annie's story was simply fire. The chemistry and romance of this story just had my heart feeling it was being squeezed by pure adorableness. Wes was all in so early on, even if Annie wasn't and he was so committed to making her see it. Like swoon! I loved glimpses of some of the characters we've met in previous books while also getting to know Wes more. Since this one was novella length, it was definitely a quicker read than others in the series but was in no way less impactful.

Speaking of other books in the series, the whole series epilogue included in this book was so stinking sweet! Being able to see all five couples from this series again so far in the future really had me all in my feels. I felt like I was getting a bit teary eyed. Now that the series is complete, I highly recommend starting from the first book and keep reading until you get to this one so you can read and fully enjoy the whole series epilogue. It felt like a family reunion for all these characters I came to know!

What a sweet romance this was— beginning with (almost) enemies on Princess Annalise’s part to HEA. She had misjudged Wesley Hughes thinking he was a big time flirt. What she discovered was that he was, “handsome, hilarious, and charming. But he was the most caring and selfless person she knew.” You have to hand it to Wes that he never gave up on his chance to win Annie. Here are some things to look forward to reading:

dual POV
ice cream
pink & blue
polo match
creative & thoughtful dates
love languages
riding horses
matchmaking mom
banter
Operation Get the Girl

The epilogue was a treat, sharing what each of the couples’ lives looked like after twenty five years. It looks like there will be a lot of marriages to look forward to for these families. This can be read as a standalone, but you will really enjoy the stories of the other characters from the Royal Hearts series who appear throughout the story.

I was given a complimentary copy of the book from the author. A positive review was not required, and all opinions are my own.

Thank you for Wes’ story. It did not disappoint. Wes is such a flirt but he’s only in love with Annie and he’s determined to do what ever it takes to get her to fall in love with him. Wes is such a flirt and Annie thinks he’s like that with every woman. When Wes is sent to visit Bristol to learn more about their farming, he brings back more than just information. He brings back the woman he will hopefully call his wife. The relationship between these two was just the cutest. The dates Wes planned for them and the way he carefully broke down the walls that Annie put up.
The series epilogue at the end was just the best. It was nice seeing the couple from the other stories and how their lives turned out and how everyone was still intertwined with each other. I’m sad to see this series end. It was such a great one to read and be a part of.
Thank you to the author for my advanced review copy. These words are my own.

It was a cute book but not my cup of tea. A personal preference, I didn’t like the third person, dual POV. I had some problems with the MCs. He was OBSESSED with her but she couldn’t give him the time of day because of stories she made up in her head of him being flirty with other women. He’s a naturally charming guy. But you’re worried cause he’s “flirting” if your mom? 🫠

Overall, felt like the book was slow but the falling in love was super quick.

Everything was perfect. Like she could do no wrong. Every situation panned out perfectly and their struggle (him convincing her he’s worth a shot) wasn’t all that much of a struggle. He managed to always say the right thing even when he said something super off the wall, she found a way to find it perfect. It was confusing since she claimed to hate him.

This is a clean closed door romance with mild kissing.

I loved getting to read Wes and Annie's story! I love how their relationship started and all that happen to help get them to their happily-ever-after.

Wes is so bold, he doesn't back telling Annie how he feels about her, even when she seems to dislike him. I love all that Wes does to show Annie how he feels about her - the dates he planned were the best!

I also loved the series Epilogue. Getting to see the wonderful characters from this series and see how their lives have turned out was the icing on the cake! So beautiful.

I absolutely LOVED this story! When Wes was introduced in one of the books in this series, I immediately wanted him to have a book of his own. He is one of my favorite characters and I am so happy that Amanda decided to write this book! This was the perfect conclusion for this series, and I adored the bonus epilogue. I loved the forced proximity and how determined Wes was to change Annie’s mind about him. Oh and Annie’s mom is seriously THE BEST! I laughed so many times just in things the mom said or did alone. There is just something magically about the way Amanda Schimmoeller writes that I highlight so many sentences in my kindle copy. I highly recommend this series if you are looking for a sweet romance book that has royals!

Wes & Annie 🫠

Now, if you’ve ever watched Netflix’s “Nailed It” show, you’ll be saying Wes’s name just like me 🤭 And honestly… I picture the Wes’s looking pretty similar as well!

Wes and Annie’s story is short and sweet and filled with some amazing banter! There were so many little lines in the book that I wanted to highlight, and it was hard to choose which ones for insta!

I’m so excited that Wes’s found his love, and that Annie gave him the chance. The epilogues were phenomenal, and I’m going to miss all the royal friends!

Amanda is such an amazing writer, and gives her characters depth, realness and such sweetness. I can’t wait for more of her books!

What a sweet novella! I absolutely adored Wes and Annie! Their personalities were so different but they complimented each other in the best ways and I loved seeing Wes win Annie over. All of the dates and sweet ways he showed her how he felt. And then the epilogue!!! Definitely one of my favorite stories from the series!

And let’s talk about the bonus SERIES epilogue! Ah! I love a fast forward to the future and seeing where all your favorite characters ended up. This was the cherry on top and a perfect way to wrap up a great series. Looking forward to more from this author!

This is super fun and cute, and I loved it! It was wonderful to get a story for Wes, and I loved how it all worked out. I’ve really enjoyed this series by Amanda Schimmoeller! I’m so glad we got to have an extra story in the series, and I adored the series epilogue at the end of it! It was perfect!

If you enjoy clean royal romances, this series is a must read. I love it!

Okay, it took me a minute to get to Wes’ story but I’m so glad that I did! Wes and Annie are just adorable. This was a quick novella but very sweet.

This series will steal your heart. If you have any love at all for royal romances, grab these stories pronto! They are amazing. I love each and every one.

Wes is so sweet…the Pride and Prejudice theme date? Be still my swooning heart. Annie may have been cautious around Wes but quickly gets over this and I’m so glad. I adored the aspect of Wes having to woo her and that he was just genuine. Annie is kind and fun and just lovely.

This novella is sweet and swoony from start to finish! It was a beautifully written story that had me rooting for these two characters and loving every second of their swoony, heartfelt journey to a happily ever after. I'm still thinking about this lovely book long after I finished the last page and can definitely see myself revisiting this book and this series sooner rather than later!

A ROYAL POSSIBILITY is a sweet, clean romance with adorable characters. Wes fell in love at first sight but he’s such an incorrigible flirt that Annie can’t believe he’s serious about anything. This is the story of how he overcomes this obstacle to find his own HEA.

This was the perfect novella and end to the Royal Hearts series! I'm gonna miss these characters and this world! This series as a whole is probably 5 stars for me. I enjoyed getting to see the romance of one of the side characters in the series as well as being surprised with a series epilogue. I would say like the other books you could read it as a stand-alone, but this one would be even better if read with the series, in my opinion.
Another thing I loved about this book, as well as the previous ones, there's no cussing or spice. Overall this book and series is the perfect sweet and romantic royalty books.

🌶️: closed door. Just kissing.

I adore this book, and I'm so glad Wes got his own book! Wes is such a fun character with a bigger-than-life personality. Annie and Wes fit together so well. Their meet-cute is perfect! This book is the perfect ending to the series. I did not want it to end, but it's a beautiful series. I will reread it often!
