Royally Crushed Royally Jacked; Spin Control; DoOver Niki Burnham 9781442406483 Books Reviews

After Prince William and Catherine Middleton got married, Barnes and Noble was going CRAZY with selling books having to do with princes/England/boarding school etc. and I happened to see this book!! Royally Crushed is actually three books on the series bound into one (Royally Jacked; Spin Control; Do Over) so it was really fun to read this series as a whole instead of waiting for the next book to come out!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book!! It was a fun read and I really enjoyed reading about Valerie's encounters with Prince Georg. It was fun seeing their relationship progress through these books!! I love reading teen romance books, especially when they have princes in them!! It makes me feel like it could happen to anyone )

Anyways, I also really enjoyed the main character Valerie! It was really interesting to see her perspective and how she is dealing with Georg. She is also a really funny character too which I really enjoyed reading about!

So in the end, if you are looking for a fun read (with a Prince!!) you should check out this book )
I'm so glad that Simon decided to repackage Niki Burnham's royal trilogy in one volume. It gave me an excellent excuse to read these books again. The storiers are essentially the same as they were when they were sold as individual bools, there's just been a little cleaning up - mostly updating or removing celebrity references. Other than that, they are still the wonderful books I remembered.

ROYALLY JACKED
"Exactly two weeks, one day, and ten hours ago, my mother completely ruined my life. She announced over her usual dinner of Kraft macaroni and cheese (with tomatoes and broccoli bits mixed in - her attempt at being healthy) that she no longer wished to remain married to my dad. She planned to move in with her new girlfriend, Gabrielle. Yep. Girlfriend." - Valerie Winslow

It's not like Val is anti-gay or anything - she's not, truly - but her mother could not have picked a worse time to decide she's a lesbian. Val is a sophomore in high school - half way through her sophomore year, in fact. Hardly the time to be moving, but one way or another, Val is going to have to relocate. Her mother is living with Gabrielle in an apartment in the next school district and her dad will be taking up a position as protocol advisor to the royal family of Schwerinborg, a tiny country nestled in the alps between Germany and Switzerland. Schwerinborg. Really? Or Lake Braddock High, of course, which is practically worse.

All this comes when David Anderson, Val's crush since kindergarten, has finally taken an interest in her. David Anderson - he of the beautiful eyes, sexy hands and über-conservative father. Oh yeah. David idolizes his father so, even if Val stays in Virginia and if they could get past the fact that they won't be at the same school anymore, she would definitely have to keep her newly-out-of-the-closet mother a secret, if that's even possible. You know what? Maybe Val is feeling a little resentful toward her Mom after all. Having gay friends is one thing, but a gay parent? That is something else, thank you very much. Whatever. Val doesn't want to deal with explaining her mom to David or her friends, so she's off to Schwerinborg - where it turns out she just might meet her very own Prince Charming.

SPIN CONTROL
"Yep. I, Valerie Winslow, a totally boring, non-cheerleader, non-athletic, non-popular sophomore redheaded nobody from Vienna, Virginia, have officially hooked up with an European prince. A prince who knows how to kiss in the most knock-me-on-my-ass way, and who is formal and polite and looks beyond hot in a tux, but who also knows how to kick back and be cool and totally un-prince-like when we're alone, if you catch my drift." - Val Winslow

After one fabulous date and a wonderful weekend, Valerie Winslow is totally blissed out over her brand new relationship with Prince Georg of Schwerinborg. When her mom came out of the closet and asked her dad for a divorce six weeks ago, Val didn't opt to come to Europe with her dad because she thought she'd find Prince Charming. Nope, it was more that she didn't want to stay in Virginia and deal with the weirdness that is her mother with a girlfriend. Well whatever, because she's found romance anyway. And her bliss is sure to last all the way to ... Monday?

Everything comes crashing down when the Schwerinborgian press gets a hold of the wrong end of a rumor and decides to run an article - a front page, screaming headlines article, no less - implying that Val might be a corrupting influence on their beloved Crown Prince. As if! Now Val's dad, in his capacity as protocol advisor to Georg's parents, is telling Val that she and Georg will have to be much more discreet in the future. Well, it looks like that won't be a problem because Georg has just told her (on the phone, if you can believe it) that he thinks they need to `cool it.'

While Val is agonizing over how, exactly, Georg might define `cool it,' her father informs her that he's sending her back to Virginia to spend the week of winter break with her mother. On the one hand, Val will have to finally face the fact that her mother is a lesbian. On the other hand, Val figures she can spend some quality time with her three best friends, Christy, Nat and Jules. There's also the enigma of David Anderson, who Val had a crush on for like, ten years (seriously, ever since they took care of the class rabbit together in kindergarten), and who finally decided he was interested in her just before she left for Schwerinborg. Maybe cooling it with Georg will give her the chance to heat things up with David, just like she's always dreamed.

DO-OVER
"I know it's pronounced like "Hell-moot" and not like "Helmet," but I still don't like saying it aloud. I can't fathom how anyone gives their kids these wacko names non-Germanic-speaking people can't begin to stay without wanting to crack up. It's taken me weeks to get used to Georg and Manfred, adding Helmut to the mix is like God daring me to say something snarky aloud, probably at whatever time it can get me into the most trouble." - Valerie Winslow

It seems like Valerie Winslow managed to cram a whole lot into the week of winter break, which she spent back in Vienna, Virginia. After resolving a few of her issues with her newly-out-of-the-closet mother, hanging with her three best friends and trying a couple of dates with David Anderson on for size, Val is back in Schwerinborg and - her ongoing difficulties with the German language notwithstanding - happy to be there. The media storm that began when a Schwerinborg newspaper suggested that Val might be a corrupting influence on Prince Georg has thankfully passed, Val and Georg are back to being a very happy - if exceedingly discreet - couple. All is right in Val's romantic world except, you know, she hasn't figured out how to tell Georg about the dates she had with David Anderson.

Everything else is peachy keen too, if you don't count the fact that her father has started dating, which Val TOTALLY DOES. Then there's the girls ask guys dance at school, which Georg can't go to with her (not discreet enough, apparently), which will undoubtedly give the heinous Steffi plenty of chances to make her favorite little cutting remarks about Val. And oh yeah, wasn't there something Val meant to tell Georg?

All three of these books are witty, interesting and quick reads. Valerie's entire story takes place over the course of a few short months so everything feels real and immediate. If you're looking for both romance and laugh-out-loud comedy that still manages to avoid being total fluff, you can't go wrong with here.

Every time I read these books, I'm struck by how very good theys are - clearly more than a few cuts above the standard titles in the Simon Romantic Comedies series. They are funny without having the humor detract from a good plot and incredibly well written. Val is a vibrant, honest character - totally real, with strengths and flaws like any teenager. The same can be said for Georg, her Schwerinborgian love interest. He's sweet most of the time, but he's as capable of doing stupid, unintentionally hurtful things as the next teen boy. What I love most about these books is the dialogue, which is sharp and clever, but never awkward of fake. Val's voice, in particular, is wonderful. She's innately funny, but never overly snarky, which makes it even easier to root for her.
This is a bind-up of the Royally Jacked series and includes all 3 books; Royally Jacked, Spin Control, and Do-Over. They follow Valerie Winslow who’s parents have just split up. She is given the choice to either stay in Virginia and move in with her mother and her new girlfriend--yes THAT kind--or to move all the way to a tiny European country most people don’t even know exists. Her father has just been reassigned as the King’s new protocol expert in Schwerinborg and invites her to go with him. Neither option seem all that great, but she decides that maybe living in Europe for a year wouldn’t be too bad--especially since she’d be staying at the palace with the royal family. That’s where she meets Georg. He is nice, smart and just gets her. He also happens to be heir to the throne which complicates their relationship. She discovers that dating a prince isn’t anything like what the fairytales describe, but she’s fallen hard for the boy and isn’t about to give him up just yet.

First off, I love bind-ups. They make owning and reading an entire series that much easier. I also love the new covers that come with them because they always seem to be so much better than the originals. Isn’t this one just the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?

But anyways, on to the actual books. All 3 are around 200 pages which makes them quick, easy reads. The title kind of makes you think that Valerie is going to get her heart crushed by the prince, but that is totally not the case. These books are sweet, fun and just plain CUTE. I don’t want to go into too much detail about each because I feel like that will spoil it for you, but I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed them. The last one, Do-Over, was definitely my favorite.

As for the characters, they were okay. I did like Val and Georg, but her friends back in the US (Natalie, Jules, and Christie) were kind of annoying. As if moving to an entirely new continent wasn’t bad enough, they made her feel horrible about it. Two of them even stopped speaking to her for like a week when they found out which was just ridiculous. I also felt they were really pushy and didn’t listen to her or what she wanted. But that was also Valerie’s fault because she never really spoke up until about the end of the second book.
