For this review, I chose The Not So Perfect Princess by Melissa McClone.
I received an ARC copy of the ebook for a honest review of this book.
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Duty requires her to marry—but she’s having second thoughts.
Princess Julianna dreams of marrying for love, but no one cares what she wants. The future of her kingdom—and countrywomen—depends on her arranged marriage. Too bad, her intended’s brother is the one who captures her interest with his good looks and sailing skills. She’ll just have to push aside her attraction and do what’s right for everyone else, if not herself…
Prince Alejandro wants nothing more than to relinquish his title. He can’t wait for his older brother to marry and have a child. That is, until he meets the beautiful princess destined to be his country’s future queen. Julianna holds the key to his freedom, yet he recognizes a kindred spirit—someone trapped by the demands of being royalty—and finds her utterly irresistible.
Knowing the royal wedding must occur for the sake of their countries doesn’t stop them from wanting to be together. A happy ending could be theirs if they are willing to accept the consequences of following their hearts. Will duty or love reign supreme?

I love reading books about princesses and their duty to their country. Jules wanted to change how men looked at women and their roles. She wanted to love her husband and be loved but in an arranged marriage it may not happen. She put duty before what she wants. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
