Drew and Bri have been best friends since childhood. The only problem, Drew is in love with Bri, and she has no idea. When Drew's parents try to force him into an arranged marriage with a woman he can't stand, he brings up The Marriage Pact from their youth. 

Did I forget to mention this was a royal story with a fake engagement? 

This is a royal story with a fake ENGAGEMENT! 

I adored everything about this story. The space references. The hiking. The bracelet. Childhood friends learning new things about each other's personality. Watermelon. All the sweet gestures that Drew does for Bri. Bastian-he may have been my favorite character of the book. :) 

I enjoyed Bri's character development throughout the book and her journey to not only fall in love with her best friend but also realize her place in this world. 

I cannot recommend this book enough! This entire series has been incredible. I promise that you will enjoy A Royal Promise.

About the book: 

Title: A Royal Promise

Author: Amanda Schimmoeller

Series: Royal Hearts

Publication Date: September 9, 2024

Two best friends.

One promise that could change everything.

Prince Andrew has been in love with his best friend, Bri, for as long as he can remember. Of course, he would never actually tell her that. When his parents try to force him into a marriage of convenience, Drew decides to enact the marriage pact he made with Bri when they were kids. While she might think he’s faking everything with her for the public eye, Drew finally has the chance to show his best friend how much he loves her and why they would make the perfect couple. Drew can only hope that their forced time together will show Bri what has been right in front of her all along.

Princess Brielle agrees to be her best friend’s fake fiancée to save him from a desperate situation. Emphasis on the word fake. But the more time she spends with Drew pretending to be a couple, Bri begins to see him in a new light. He’s no longer the scrawny, awkward kid he used to be. Drew is an attractive, confident man who makes their charade look effortless and has her heart racing on more than one occasion. As the lines of their fake engagement and her feelings begin to blur, she’s left with the biggest decision of her life–Bri can either allow herself to fall in love with Drew or potentially lose her best friend forever.

A Royal Promise is Book 4 in the Royal Hearts series. This is a sweet, closed-door romance and can be read as a standalone.
