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!

Pada buku Royals #1, Miri menggantikan posisi Alyssa untuk menikah dengan Brandt. Miri sudah sejak lama jatuh cinta pada Brandt. Dia menawarkan diri menggantikan Alyssa karena dia ingin mengetahui alasan Brandt mengabaikan apa yang pernah mereka alami bersama dan menikahi Alyssa. Jawaban Brandt membuat Miri kecewa, karena Brandt memang lebih mengutamakan Vendoria. Dan menikahi Alyssa adalah cara yang dipilih Brandt untuk menyelamatkan Vendoria. Pada hari pernikahan mereka, Miri menyerahkan dirinya pada Brandt. Namun, saat Brandt menyebutkan nama Alyssa, Miri meninggalkan Brandt dan bersembunyi selama beberapa minggu.

Beberapa minggu kemudian, setelah Alyssa menikah dengan Merrick dan Lander menikah dengan Juliana, Brandt datang menjemput Miri. Menculik lebih tepatnya. Miri kemudian ikut dengan Brandt kembali ke negaranya. Sebenarnya Brandt bersyukur dia menikahi Miri, bukan Alyssa. Karena dia sendiri sudah lama menyukai Miri. Tapi mereka menemukan bahwa pernikahan mereka dianggap tidak sah.

Selain perebutan tahta Verdonia, Verdonia sendiri menghadapi krisis ekonomi akibat berkurangnya pasokan permata di Verdonia. Awalnya Lander yang mendapat tuduhan korupsi, namun Juliana berhasil membuktikan bahwa Lander tidak bersalah. Kemudian tuduhan itu berpindah kepada Brandt. Brandt ingin memulihkan nama baiknya, dan di saat yang bersamaan dia meminta Miri untuk meninggalkannya agar nama Miri tidak ikut tercemar. Miri berkeras ingin membantu Brandt, dengan meminta Juliana menyelidikinya. Dengan cara itu, Miri ingin membuktikan pada Brandt bahwa dirinya layak berada di samping Brandt.

Kisah Royals ini complicated. Di buku #1 Brandt mendapatkan peran antagonis, yang kemudian di buku #3 ini memperlihatkan bahwa apa yang dilakukan Brandt semata-mata untuk Verdonia. Ya karena dia juga mencurigai Lander bersaudara yang menyebabkan krisis di Verdonia. Tapi sampai buku #3 ga ada epilognya... habis aja gitu. HQ tanpa epilog tuh kayak nyaris hambar.

Namanya juga Harlequin jangan berharap sesuatu yang bakal mengenyangkan nafsu membaca.Karena ibaratnya HQ itu seperti snack, yang ga bikin kenyang, beberapa jam juga selese bacanya, hohohohoho..

Kalau kata Shakespeare, what's in a name? (eh bener ga sih?), yang kalau diterjemahkan secara harafiah, apalah arti sebuah nama. Tapi kadang nama juga menentukan mood baca. Agak2 gimana gitu sama nama heroinenya. Miri. Jadi ingat buah kemiri yang sering dijadikan bumbu dapur, wkwkwk (ups :P).

Anyway, buat sebuah penutup kisah dari seri The Royal Family (entah bener atau ga nama serinya), this book not too bad. Masih bisa dinikmati tanpa harus jatuh tertidur atau ngiler saking bosannya. Atau kalau ga ada pilihan lain buat baca. Atau dalam kasusku, pinjem ini karena buat dibaca sodara =))

This is the first book that I have had the pleasure to read written by this author and it won't be the last.

The story, brilliantly written by the author explores love felt between Royal heirs and princesses from three different principalities neighboring each other in Europe.

The plot covers the love story of Miri and Brandt of two different Realms who have felt an attraction to one another. Since they were quite young.

Filled with mistrust, intrigue, love, hurt and twists and turns that seem to be part of the lives of those two, and their families, this refreshing book that I enjoyed reading and recommend, rates 5 Stars .

This is book three in the series. I did read another book in the series just before this one so I was familiar with the main characters and understood a little of the political situation of the fictional country these novels are set in. I can't say I found the story too believable but it was interesting enough to keep me reading. By the end of the book we do know who the next ruler of the country will be though it seemed a little far fetched to me.

pensé que esta sería mi última lectura de abril, pero ¡sorpresa! ya estamos en mayo. en fin, esta historia no tuvo ningún sentido para mí, de paso (alguien, no yo) le arrancaron las últimas cinco páginas (al libro), pero tampoco es que haya quedado con ganas de saber cómo terminaba en sí.

Juro por Deus, que além dos gregos, italianos e espanhóis, não estou com a mínima paciência pra príncipes precipitado e bobalhão. Esse tipo de mocinho cansa a minha beleza, me poupe...

Tudo bem, nem tudo está perdido, a estória e boa, mas Brandt me cansa com toda a sua honradez e sacrifício, é extremamente chato. Ainda bem que Miri é corajosa e tem iniciativa, caso contrário teria abandonado o livro...

Em minha opinião, o que mais irrita em Brandt e ele sempre optar pela forma mais complicada de resolver qualquer assunto, seja pessoal ou referente o seu principado.

Deus que homem chato, como Miri agüenta? Ela pelo contrário, não tem vergonha de pedir ajuda a pessoa especializada, que poderá encontrar as falhas.

Já Brandt, prefere ser acusado de um crime que nunca cometeu e ser preso, do que pedir ajuda, o cara é um porre, Senhor da Glória!!! Tudo em nome da honra e do sacrifício...

Ainda bem que Miri, mega experta resolveu todos os problemas do príncipe babaca, e se dependesse do bobalhão, ela estaria agora, tendo visitas íntimas, com idiota na cadeia, pode? Isso me revolta!!!

Vou dar 4 estrelas, porque este é o ultimo livro da série... e no final se descobre quem tava por trás de todas as falcatruas.

Apesar dos pesares se você leu os outros 2 livrinhos, deve ler este também, fazer o que?

Reminded me a little of Barbara Cartland’s work, especially the beginning with the “bridal swap”. I haven’t read the rest of the trilogy, but I wouldn’t mind doing that. I won’t rush out to find the previous two books, but if I happen to stumble upon them, sure, I’ll give them a try.

This was a good example of “template writing” for SD, if you ask me. We have a love-conflict, a misunderstanding, self-sacrifice for honor, royal blood, court intrigue...It needs quite a bit of disbelief suspension, but it’s still good for reading on an afternoon when you’re not in the mood to read anything “heavier”.

Ini ceritanya galau bener dah, awalnya bilang akan hidup utk selama-lamanya, lalu ga jadi lagi krn soal tuduh menuduh..untung heroinenya org yg agresif, tetap kekeuh mereka hrs menikah apapun yg tjd..kalo gw jadi Miri pastinya gw nuntut hrs menikah dunk, secara heroine-nya sdh di culik di dpn umum lalu sdh di klaim dg tidur sekamar walo tdk melakukan hal yg aneh2 tp tetap aja, namanya sdh tercemar dunk.

Anw, yg mjd pengkhianat dr Avernos sapa yak??kok ga ketahuan gitu??pdhl akuntan dari hero udh blg kalo itu ulahnya orang kepercayaan dari Brand

Masih teka-teki deh

Penasaran sama Joc Arnaurd,,kira-kira ada lanjutannya ga yah???

ternyata cowonya tidak sejahat yang dibayangkan, dia melakukan alasan tersebut krn hal itu adalah jalan satu2nya menurut pemikiran dia

cowonya ini tipe cowo pemimpin, bertanggung jawab, ama rela berkorban.
dia sebenarnya ama cewenya uda saling suka, tp krn ada masalah negara, dia maksa buat nikah ama cewe yg di buku 1 *da pada baca kan ya?

hmm SAM *kalo bisa dikategoriin mereka marriednya sah
dan cewenya v

komplit......sip

Prince Brandt is very "Darcy-like" when the reader first meets him. He is a bit hard to like, but once he wins your heart, the story is perfect.
