GRR Reviews A Royal Shade of Blue by Aven Ellis

Clementine is happily studying art history at Stanford when someone from Cambridge UK complimented her. That turned out to be "CP Chadwick", also a history student. An online relationship developed. Clementine had survived a benign brain tumor, and she's tired of her entire family, even her friends, treating her with kid gloves. CP did not do so, and that mutual respect turned into something more... But what Clementine does not know is CP Chadwick is actually Prince Christian of Wales (House of Chadwick), the "spare heir". His life had never been normal, and having been denied the opportunity to join the military, he has no idea what to do with himself... Until he met Clementine online. When he revealed himself, Clementine was certain she was being catfished and broke off all contact. CP had to fly to the US (with his close protection officers) to convince Clementine it's all real. And it's very much like a fairy tale come true. But CP has a fear he had not revealed... and Clementine doubts she can ever fit into a royal life... Will their fears hold them back?

While the book's got nice flow, and good details, the ups and downs don't flow like a novel. The darkest hour and climax don't quite feel right. Basically someone's making a mountain out of a molehill and somehow that warrants a huge sulking session... and making up. There wasn't really much of a grand gesture.  4/5
