London Bound: A Royal Misadventure
Charlotte Samuels has it all…a luxury apartment, an adoring boyfriend and a great job in advertising. But a series of unfortunate events causes Charlotte to lose everything. She decides to do something crazy � move to London, England and start life over. Why not? It�s only a nine-hour flight from Chicago.
Accepting a servant�s job at Buckingham Palace, Charlotte meets new friends and enjoys living in the world�s greatest city. She also meets the love of her life � Prince Hayden. He�s even more handsome and charismatic than she had imagined, and the two fall madly in love. But even fairy tales have endings, and Charlotte wakes up to a real life nightmare.
A shocking murder occurs on the grounds of Buckingham Palace, and Charlotte becomes the number-one suspect.
Arrested and taken to a high-security prison in London, Charlotte awaits her trial. She realizes that the only way to win back her freedom and return home is to reveal a dirty, royal secret. But if she does, she�ll rewrite English history.
London Bound is a tale of fresh beginnings and painful endings…old flames and new passions…beautiful lies and ugly truths…and the gorgeous tragedy of finding your bliss.

Very well written - kept me engaged throughout and I did not want to put the book down.

Horrible, horrible book, with a ridiculous premise, an idiotic lead heroine, and completely nothing redeeming to be found beyond the fantastic cover.
Briefly, Charlotte is a successful award-winning advertising exec in Chicago who randomly decides to become a maid, yes, a MAID, in Buckingham Palace when her career and personal life fall apart. She has some anger management issues, not to mention a severe lack of intelligence, and yet, somehow, the (fictional) Prince of England falls in love with her, before he is killed by the jealous gardener who thinks he is the illegitimate son of the Queen. She is then framed and convicted for the prince's murder, and no, I am not making this up. Someone actually wrote this down and sold it in a book, which I foolishly, sadly bought for my kindle.

This book held promise, and I can't pinpoint why I didn't enjoy it more. I had a very hard time liking or caring about any of the main characters. I read this book while sick, otherwise I probably wouldn't have finished it.
