GRR Reviews A Princess Next Door (Rothman Royals Bo by Noelle Adams

A Princess Next Door is about a royalty living in plain sight "undercover", and fell for a commoner, but it's just a fling, right? Unfortunately, the plot offered nothing really new.

Amalie "Amy" Rothman is living undercover in the US. As the oldest princess of the Rothmans, of a tiny kingdom up in the Alps, she was as useful as a chess piece, to be married off for alliances and such. She refused to marry her intended match, "Edward Farmingham Channing IV", solely to replenish the royal coffers. Instead she went off to a small school in Minnesota to do an art degree under a certain professor she wanted to study under. Four years later, school's about to end, but she did not want to go home. Her neighbor next door is Jack Watson. Despite the American swagger, he's handsome... AND nice. Amy decided to have a fling with Jack. She's leaving in a month. Besides, Jack hates formals, doesn't own a suit, and will never hook up with a princess... if he knew who she really is. But when circumstances forced her identity into the open... will she sacrifice herself for her family... or may Amy be willing to abandon it all?

The romance is a bit of meh, nothing too special. The guy's a bit too nice, and the deus ex machina ending was rather disappointing.
