British Royals #3
Marrying Emma
Britain’s Princess Emma, an out lesbian, is trying hard to make romantic connections, but they never seem to succeed. In one case, Emma discovers in the middle of lovemaking that the woman is married. In another case, the romantic prospect simply never gets back in touch.
Emma’s eldest sister, Queen Katharine, seems happily married, and even her middle sister, Margaret, with her laundry list of issues, is on the cusp of happiness.
So it’s no wonder Emma feels desolate. That begins to gradually change with the intriguing reporter Marisol Richards, but she says she’s not the one for Emma. There’s someone out there, though, someone who yearns to get her fairy tale ending. In fact, she and Emma were meant to be together years ago. Will they finally find their way together?

If we are talking royalty Q. Kelly would be marquess of misdirections, countess of twists and turns and grand duchess of what-the-everloving-Fucque.
With the third (and I think final) installment of her British Royals series we focus on Queen Katherine’s youngest sister, princess Emma. Now Katherine and Veronica are happily married, Emma feels lonely. She wants to have her own happily ever after, but finding the right woman proves to be quite the undertaking.
The story is (as usual) told by the various people involved: Her Royal Highness princess Emma, Veronica (now Queen Katherine’s wife), Marisol Richards (the bee-hive-haired star reporter who harbors a dark secret), Tessa Donovan (who could have been married to Katherine if Queen Amalia hadn’t kicked her out of the security detail), Amalia (the Queen’s mother), Cheryl Miller (the elementary school teacher who was mistaken for a prostitute once) and Sally (remember her from book one?).
Book Club buddie D. and I were ready for anything Q. Kelly had to throw at us (we know the drill by now) and she kept us guessing all the way till the end. Bonus: she neatly tied up any dangling plot twists left in the previous two books (even the ones we didn’t know about). What a fun-filled ride!
f/f explicit
Themes: Emma has to kiss her share of frogs to get to her princess, hurray for the author not forgetting her characters need for a toilet every once in a while, can Emma get over her feelings for her sister-in-law?, disabled people have sexual needs as well, Q. Kelly addresses it, fantastic series!

This is the third and final book of this series featuring the youngest of 3 royal sisters, Emma. The eldest sister, Katherine, has been crowned Queen and has married Veronica. The middle sister, Margaret, is mentally and physically disabled and is seeking male companionship. Emma is the second lesbian sister with no romantic prospects and a lingering love for her sister's wife that she is trying to move on from.
As a standalone the book is perplexing. Subplots and characters are inserted from earlier books and then left to fade out. A character with an incredibly minor role is resurrected in the final act as key to the ending.
While I could read the book on its own with only a few questions from the earlier books, this final novel seemed to function as a way to catch us up on characters from books 1 and 2 and then quickly tie things up.

one just never realizes just how good a book can be until you read it to the finish!
So Q Kelly has presented a third in this series that is actually better written than the first two! I am impressed with the storyline, the issues dealt with (all treated with an honesty and sensitivity that are needed) and the end results are stunning.
I am looking forward to reading the fourth in the series to get the last sisters point of view. Thank you Ms Kelly.

Poor Emma. Poor Marisol. It just goes to show never to assume things about a person or situation. Totally worth the time to read about the rollercoaster that is the British Royals. Plus Henry's a tosser... if he hadn't died, I would be wishing for his demise.

poor Emma
Emma goes through a lot in this book. I was a bit surprised with the outcome. Sometimes you just know…
