** Warning Mature content and talk of sexual abuse**
Well this book is definitely not what I expected. Let me tell you, it was refreshing. This book mainly focuses on the female character Cerulean. Oh my goodness you would think that she is the bully but she is not. She is the embodiment of what women strive to be. She is strong, independent and determined. She had to grow up as a teenager. While doing this she takes all the responsibilities of adulthood onto herself. She will do anything for her sisters and family. However, Harley St. James just moves into town and now Cerulean has met her match. So here we have an almost cat and mouse game going on. Harley sees something in Cerulean that sets him on fire. They have a chemistry that just gets hotter and hotter. Unfortunately, Cerulean is just set on her on path to destruction and then things just starts to fall apart. So what happens? That you will need to read to find out. I will say that I teared up because of how much I understood Cerulean. I was not prepared for all the emotions that I would go through while reading this book. I loved how the role was reversed and the female mc was the one that was troubled. This is definitely worth the read.
Thank you to Wildfire and the author for an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

*REVIEW* .75
I was initially drawn to Royal Blue simply because Savannah is my favorite city. This story is about the politics of high school. Cerulean is the queen bee/ice queen of the school, and it’s not a good idea to get on her bad side. This girl is sassy, tough and a force to be reckoned with. She has sisters and feels that it’s her job to maintain the status quo for all of them. Enter hot new guy/star quarterback, Harley. He is not just a jock, though. Suddenly, Cerulean has this intrusion into her territory, but maybe it’s not a bad thing. She’s not as perfect as she seems, and neither is Harley. Sometimes it’s better not to go it alone, and surviving high school, even from the top, is difficult. Cerulean has perhaps found an allie instead of an enemy. It’s a tale as old as time. The survival of the cafeteria fittest. While I was entertained and enjoyed the story, the premise is not very unique. It’s one I’ve read many times over, but the author puts her own spin on it, and the end result is a fun young adult story. This one is good if you want to be entertained without getting into anything too heavy.
So I absolutely love Megan and her books and was so excited for this new series!!! Especially when I read the blurb and was like I cannot wait!!! And lord have mercy I devoured this book in one sitting and it’s not a short book at all. But I just couldn’t stop reading. I fell in head first and needed to know what happened and all when,why and how’s of everything. And now I’m in a book hangover and wanting the next book!!! Cerulean and her sisters are so misunderstood but I love how they are still respected. And Harley omg I love him!!! And how he is with everyone is just so amazing and we all need a Harley in our lives!!! This is so much more than a high school football romance. It is how sometimes as parents we can put too much pressure on our children thinking that even though they are so close to being an adult but we need to remember they aren’t. How one incident can spiral and cause more than one person pain. And that sometimes we all need just a little help. This book is a deep emotional experience and I highly highly recommend it!!! And I wish I could give it so much more than 5 stars!!!! – BY Tina
Sovereign Rulers
The “Hued Hussies” run Forest Park Academy. Four sisters, four personalities, 4 histories tied to each. Cerulean is one that keeps the four running like an oiled machine. When the new star quarterback entered her school, she sensed the tides might change. This was a story highlighting the drama of high school, determination and goals and finding your path. Individually Cerulean and Harley are struggling, together they excel. Underneath all of the drama, they both find an everlasting love. This was a good read that sucked me in from the beginning. The female leads are strong and sassy and most of the men their complement.

“Forest Park Academy is my queendom, and with my sisters by my side you will bend to our will.” Cerulean Tremont
Royal Blue by Megan Lowe is book one in the Sovereign of Savannah Series. The first of four books, this book follows Cerulean Tremont.
I must say that I was very happy with this book. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and the writing was just superb. The characters were developed and complexed and the story was interesting and kept my attention.
Cerulean Tremont rules Forest Park Academy. With her sisters, she helps keep social class in order and bows to no one. She is strong and fierce, very determined and driven to pave the way that women can be powerful in the world. She’s a perfectionist with her studies and very loyal and protective of her sister. She seems to have no weaknesses… or does she?!?!
Harley St. James is the new guy. He’s the star quarterback and the son of the principal. He’s athletically talented, academically gifted, and extremely drool worthy. When he catches a glimpse of the ice queen herself, he’s done for. Determined to know more about the beautiful blonde with jade green eyes, Harley will go where no high school guy has dared to go before and will stop at nothing to prove that Cerulean is meant to be with him.
I loved that you have this female character that is so strong, yet so flawed. On the outside it looks like she has the world in the palm of her hands but what’s going on inside her head is so complex. I loved the sisterhood that was represented. I loved that this book felt like a true high school setting, where most times it takes place in high school, but you never get that vibe. I love the sports element and you can tell the author did the research or is a sports fan. I loved Harley!!! I just really enjoyed this book.
I highly recommend checking this story out, 4.5 stars!
