About the author

I love family first and foremost, which is why writing family sagas and stories that involve family is so much fun. Maybe you can tell that from my books since they always feature the warmth and joy and ridiculousness that comes from having a close-knit family.

I also love animals and have taken in rescue dogs and cats and fostered dogs for the local animal shelter.

And of course, I love writing. All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!

USA Today bestselling author, Day Leclaire is the author of more than 60 novels and has received an impressive eleven nominations for the romance industry's most prestigious award, Romance Writers of America RITA© Award. Day lives in Charlotte, NC and spends her days obsessively writing while vaguely remembering to pay attention to her adorable husband, busy son and daughter-in-law, two tiny grandchildren, and two even tinier Teddy Bear dogs. Not to mention a whole lot of dust!

Kisah Juliana dan Lander lebih menarik dibandingkan Merrick-Alyssa di Royals #1.

Lander dan Juliana bertemu pertama kali dalam acara sosial kerajaan Verdonia. Love at first sight. Juliana tidak tahu kalau yang dihadapinya adalah Pangeran Verdonia, calon raja berikutnya. Setelah Joc, kakaknya mendapati keduanya di gazebo taman, dia mengingatkan Juliana untuk menjauhi Lander. Joc sendiri datang ke Verdonia untuk membantu Lander mengatasi krisis ekonomi akibat menurunnya usaha batu permata di negara itu. Joc akan membantu Lander dengan kesepakatan Lander harus menikahi Juliana.

Di sisi lain, Juliana dan Lander menyadari satu malam tidak cukup untuk mereka. Lander menyusun strategi membuat Juliana jatuh hati padanya. Juliana sendiri menolak untuk hidup bersama Lander. Juliana merasa masa lalunya akan membuat Lander gagal dalam pemilu untuk menjadi raja. Sayangnya, wartawan lebih dahulu mengendus hubungan mereka, dan memaksa Lander mengumumkan pertunangan mereka.

Konflik hubungan Lander dan Juliana naik turun. Untungnya Lander bisa bertahan. Karismatik pangeran memang beda ya.. bolak-balik ditolak Juliana tidak membuat Lander mundur. Jika dia bisa menyelamatkan Verdonia sambil mendapatkan Juliana, maka akan dijalaninya. Cuman ya meski Lander juga hobi banget ciuman sama Juliana, mengucapkan cinta ga pernah. Gimana Juliana bisa yakin? Akhirnya permata dari Verdonia yang bicara.

Di Royals #2 ini bukan semata-mata kisahnya Lander dan Juliana saja sih. Lebih banyak juga cerita tentang Verdonia, dan kasus krisis ekonomi yang dihadapinya. Masih belum ada epilog.. jadi kisah Verdonia masih lanjut di Royals #3

The Royals no 2.
Menceritakan tentang Lander Montgomerry, kakak laki- laki Merrick, dari buku pertama.Paling tidak yang ini lebih mendingan daripada yang pertama.

Kisahnya sebenarnya simpel, bisa dibilang Cinderela Story, berawal dari ga tau nama masing2 lalu ONS (One Night Stand ye, bukan yang buat haji itu, hmpfh =))), sampai akhirnya mereka pun menikah. Kemudian merasa dikhianati, slah paham lalu balik lagi

Same plot with the first.Walaupun aku ga percaya Love at The First Sight, tapi cerita di buku ini tetap manis.Dan siap sih yang ga mau dinikahin ma Pangeran, hehehehe.

Modelnya ternyata si Nathan Kamp +____+. Disini dia aneh ah, masih cakepan yang jadi model cover buku pertama, modelnya si Merrick

yaampun, this book is trash. am sorry.

I liked this a lot better than the first one, but I disagree with the title. Juliana & Lander were in a relationship leading to marriage though Juliana didn't know it was part of a contract between Lander & her brother. I liked how you could see the relationship developing, despite (not because of) the contract. I also loved that Lander incorporated his love into the wedding ring.

This is my first book by Ms Leclaire, and I liked her writing. I did not, however, like the story. It started out well enough,and then continued ok, with some ups and downs here and there. The climax though, made me angry, and that's why this book is rated two stars.
Juliana gets mad at Prince Lander because her brother had made Lander agree to marry her for some deal. Lander tries to explain to Juliana that he liked her even before the deal, and that the only reason he'd agreed was because a) he liked her a lot and b) his country NEEDED this deal to survive. Juliana walks out on him I mean, how stupid is that? And then later she thinks of him as the man she loves. Really? So that's how people prove their love? By upping and leaving?
The whole reason for the conflict was stupid, IMO. Lander had shown often enough by his actions that he loved her. I don't get why people will take words over actions. There is a reason they say action speaks louder than words. Yeah. Juliana messed it up for me. I kinda wished Lander had divorced her and found another person who was smarter than that Juliana. Ick!

That being said, I did like Ms. Leclaire's writing style, and a few revelations in this book made me interested enough to want to read the other books in this series if I come across them (I think it is a trilogy, but I am not sure).

Re-reading novel ini dan baru sadar blm buat review sama sekali..alhasil gw kerjain deh skrg review-nya

Pernah mendengar quote "hati-hati dengan permintaamu" itulah yg tjd dlm hidup Juliana Rose, undangan pesta dr Joc membuat dirinya ingin menikmati semalam sebagai Cinderela, mengalami keromantisan dan gairah sesaat yg hanya berlaku satu malam. Tetapi takdir berkata lain, Juliana bertemu dg penguasa kerajaan Verdonia, Pangeran Lander, yang memesona; humoris; penyabar dan membuat Juliana nyaman saat bersama2.

Chemistrynya dapat
Romantisnya dapat
Humorisnya dapat
Klimaks permasalahan kurang banget

Dari ke-3 series "the royal" ini, kesimpulannya hanya satu yaitu "penculikan"
Mulai dr Merrick menculik Allysa utk mencegah pernikahan penyatuan 2 negara
Lalu ada Lander menculik Juliana untuk menikmati standing one night
Dan ada Brand yg menculik Miri, istri dari pernikahan pengganti

Nice cinderella story

Este deve ser o casal mais fofo desta série...

...mesmo que ainda não tenha lido a série inteira, acho Lander e Juliana o casal mais lindinho...

...a estória dos dois é muito deliciosa, apesar de alguns contratempos...

...será que a Day Leclaire escreveu uma estória para o irmão da Juliana, acho Joc muito interessante, e como sei que os outros dois livros são do irmão e da meia-irmã de Lander.

Fico me perguntando, será que não há um livro fora da série, sobre o Joc?

Espero sinceramente que tenha, adoraria ler um romance onde ele seja o “alvo principal”...rs.

Vou tirar uma estrela pq o “próprio” Joc, foi muito inoportuno, não tinha nada que aparecer na manhã após o casamento, por isso apenas 4 estrelas, e tenho dito... (...apesar de que, adorei a figura de Joc...)

RECOMENDO!!!

Gw suka karena cowonya romantis
dia sendiri loh yang mendesign cincin kawin buat istrinya,
trus cewenya smart, hanya soal percintaan yang dia ga pinter

meski SBM tp cewenya msh v. jd point plus deh

[Lisa Montgomery · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book first and then had to seek out the other two. This is book 2 of The Royals series. Prince Lander Montgomery is perfect royal, and it was good to see more of Joc Arnaud, a character in another series. I like it when series collide.

Lander ternyata romantis... Love in the first sight...

[Gebby · Rating 3 out of 5]

ceritanya gampang ditebak .. kurang gitu memuaskan, 3 bintang cukup kali yah

[Primadonna · Rating 1 out of 5]

Perhaps it's just me. Halfway I just feel like shouting, get on with it! Leave her alone, you fool! Somehow I cannot sympathize with Juliana Rose. I just think she is not worthy for Lander.

I liked the story because it reminded me a lot of Cinderella(without the evil stepmother, of course!)

Lumayan lah...tapi lbh demen ama yg pertama...

Predictable, but I still enjoyed it.

[Ayu Wirdha · Rating 3 out of 5]

Bener2 ringan bgt critanya pdhal berpotensi lebih dalem kalo lebih panjang halamannya.

Namanya jg harlequin, seperti makan snack ga kenyanggggg
