I was humiliated at the end of freshman year. Now all I want to do is focus on my studies and avoid my former friend and love of my life, Sean Courtright. And I was doing just fine on all accounts until my favorite professor asked me for a favor: tutor the boy who shattered my heart. If the request had come from anyone else, I would have turned him down. Oh boy, I should have … Being cramped in … Being cramped in the same room each day, his familiar scent wraps around me and soon, we both slip back into old patterns. If that wasn’t enough, Sean raises the stakes and offers me a bet, one I can’t possibly turn down, even if it sounds way too familiar to last year’s broken heart.
Will fate allow us a second chance at love? Or will it all come crash down, for the second time?

The retelling of Pocahontas; Veronica and Sean have been best friends forever, until Veronica falls for Sean. Fast forward a year of no contact and she is suddenly required to tutor him. Recipe for disaster or a second chance? I am loving the Modern Princess Collection! One-Click Today!
I really enjoyed this book, it was fun learning the history of Veronica and Sean and see them grow together. All the feelings are there and I felt them with each event, even though it was only Veronica’s side of the story. Dang Dax, it was him huh?
Sean and Veronica aka Robin have a back and forth young love story to tell. They seem to rarely be on the same page during this read.
Sean the athlete and Roni the academic take you on a bit of a ride in this telling. It has a sweetness that I expect in a fairytale retelling (wink) with the right amount of drama.
It is a nice conclusion to the modern day princess collection. Happy Reading Everyone! XOXO
I have been loving the Modern Princess Collections and our tales set at Camelot University and will be sad when the series finishes. Unlike the other stories, I have read in this series – Ousted Princess was based on a tale that hasn’t been used to death and one that I wasn’t 100% familiar with as it is based on the story of Pocahontas which I only have seen the movie once when it was first released when I was younger. In Ousted Princess, we first meet our female and male leads Veronica and Sean. The pair have been best friends since childhood and Veronica have landed herself in hospital after the pair had a climbing accident. It was also the turning point in their friendship but not for good as Roni proclaimed her love for her friend Sean and instead of accepting it, he walked out and the pair’s friendship crumbled. Now two years later, the pair is in one of the same classes and it turns out that Sean is failing and needs to bring his grade up to keep his scholarship. Their professor has asked Roni to tutor Sean and she reluctantly agrees. During this time, Roni has met a cute TA Dax whom she does Yoga with. Has Roni found someone else to turn her romantic interests or is life throwing Roni, a curveball by constantly inserting Sean into her daily life and it looks like Sean wants her too and to prove himself he has changed? Will Sean get his second chance with Roni or will she focus on Dax in order not to let Sean shatter her heart into tiny pieces again?
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
I did love the Pocahontas feel to this modern princess story! Also loved the friends to lovers fairytale story as well! Veronica and Sean did have a few bumps in the road to over come! Fantastic ending!
I really loved Sean and Veronica! This book was absolutely amazing! It was full of everything I want in a terrific read. It was full of love,hurt, chemistry and jealousy. It was awesome!!
From start to finish Sean and Roni’s story completely captivated me. I love how in the end Roni gets her happily ever after even though she had to endure such heartache to get there. In the beginning I absolutely hated Sean but by the end I really loved him and her spontaneous personality. Such a beautiful love story. Loved it Tasha.
Sean and Veronica will have your emotions all over the place in their story. They are young and miscommunication of their feelings have them doing foolish things in the name of love. It will take being in an accident for Veronica to realize her feelings for Sean but when she does get around to doing that he will brush her aside and the cycle will begin again this time around Sean will be the one trying to prove himself to Veronica. Tasha is us a front side seat to this story unfolding where we see Sean and Veronica working through their feelings and finally coming to terms with how they really feel about each other. Will they finally take a chance on each other and their love? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
This book will have your mind in a tug of war with your heart! Ousted Princess is a wonderful story that will have you second guessing who you want the main character to end up with. Throw in a love triangle, second chance, and a mending heart – you’ll be in for a beautiful fairy tale loosely based on the history of Pocahontas (don’t rely on the Disney version). This was a wonderful addition to the Modern Princess Collection and I hope we see a follow-up/redemption story someday with a certain character that I won’t name.
I loved the little bits of Spanish that Roni spoke in the book. It adds a little something different. The friends to enemies (kinda) to lovers was a new take, at least for me. I don’t know if I would have been as easy to forgive Sean without getting more information, but when that someone still own your heart, it could be a whole other story. I love the fact that they reconnected in a class with one of their favorite things to do together.
I really love Tasha writing!! I loved the slight nod to Pocahontas that she did, and in the most modern way! As someone who loves to be outside and be in nature, I totally could relate with Veronica in every way with that! I try to get outside every chance I get!
This story had all of my favorite elements! It had drama, twists and turns! There were so many layers to Veronica and Sean, and then throwing in Dax, it was the best kind of roller coaster. It was truly like unpeeling an onion and seeing what the next layer was like! From Veronica and Sean I really loved their chemistry. They are such good friends and that always creates for some great banter, but these two have something even better. Veronica is perfectly bitter about how he’d treated her and he’s a groveling mess. Allll of these things made this story so dang good!!!
I really loved the added bits of nature and loyalty. Tasha picked some of the absolute best traits of Pocahontas to incorporate into who Veronica is. From the camping, to the yoga, to standing up for her friends, these were such amazing traits! I haven’t read a lot of these modern retellings, but I truly enjoyed Tasha’s and I really saw all of the comparisons. She did such an amazing job with this! Definitely seems like how Pocahontas would have been today!
Ousted Princess is Book 6 in the Modern Princess Collection and has a modern-day Pocahontas twist to it. Even though all these stories feature Camelot University they are complete stand-alones so no need to read them in any particular order.
This story had great character development and I enjoyed getting to know Veronica and Sean. This is the perfect storyline however that would have benefited by a few more chapters. The first 90% of the story moved along at a decent pace but that last 10% felt really rushed. The epilogue did fill in several of the gaps however. Overall this was a really cute and enjoyable addition to the series!
This quick read princess retelling is entertaining and sweet. The characters are great and the story flows really well.
This was another solid offering from this series! Veronica and Sean have history together. Veronica was in love with Sean and now she wants nothing to do with him. All she wants is to graduate and get far away from him. Fate steps in and she is asked to tutor him. There are a lot of twists and turns for them. They both struggle to make it work. I really enjoyed reading their story!
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and I didn’t know what to expect. This book is part of the Modern Princess Collection Series and is a retelling of Pocahontas and is a best friends to lovers romance book.
Veronica and Sean are best friends who have feelings for each other.
Veronica was humiliated in college and all she wanted to do was avoid seeing her friend Sean. They both have a lot of history together and after the problem at college they don’t see each other.
After an accident this is what it takes for Veronica to realise her feelings and it took her a while and now Sean pushes her away. They both are not good at communicating there feeling together and have there wires crossed quite a lot. They both have feelings for each other but don’t have a lot of communication between them selves where there love is concerned and deny themselves a lot too.
This is a love story and will put your emotions on a roller coaster ride. This books is a will they wont they and we have to wait to see if they will finally be together. This author has written the characters good and the story flows but is a tad predictable but still enjoyable. Thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book. ARC provided in exchange for a complimentary honest voluntary review. This is a quick second chance romance book that is another addition to the princess collection. It was a great retelling and I feel like this author written it very well, this is another great romantic book.
Emotional Story!
I really enjoyed reading this story. It was filled with lots of emotion and a whole lot of angst. Veronica and Sean’s story was frustrating at times because they just couldn’t seem to figure things out. They had a lot of struggles in their relationship but that helped them to become closer to each other.
Overall, I enjoyed everything about this story.
This a sweet coming-of-age story that will pull at your heartstrings. The mistakes Sean and Veronica make will have you screaming with frustration but understanding why because of their feelings. There’s some angst and back and forth and lots of miscommunication before they get their heads on straight.
Ousted Princess by Tasha Lewis is the sixth book in the modern princess collection and can be read as a stand alone story.
It is a modern retelling of Pocahontas, which to be honest, I am not overly familiar with the story so I can’t comment on the similarities. I did find the story to be a great read. The main characters were great and I loved their back story and the little flash backs throughout the book.
Sometimes I wanted to send Veronica to anger management, she seemed to get cranky at the slightest thing, but when she stopped being mad at Sean he did seem to be able to keep her calmer than usual. They make a good team and his calm compliments her fire.
Overall I really enjoyed the story and I’ll be sad to see the end of the modern princess collection as I’ve really liked all of them so far.
This book is a retelling of the story of Pocahontas with Veronica and Sean being the main characters. Veronica and Sean have been best friends forever, but during their freshman year of college Veronica is injured and she confesses to Sean that she wants to be more than just friends with him. Sean gets upset and they finish out that year and all of their sophomore year without seeing or talking to each other. Then during their junior year at Camelot U, Veronica is asked to tutor Sean by one of their professors because Sean is in danger of losing his scholarship and possibly his chance to play pro football. Veronica isn’t crazy about the idea, but agrees to do so. After Sean doesn’t show for the first couple of sessions, Veronica wants to call it quits, but the professor begs her to give Sean one more chance. Finally they make arrangements and meet up, but Sean still doesn’t act like he is taking the situation seriously. When Veronica asks him what it will take, Sean makes a bet with her that if he passes all of his midterms than he gets to escort her to the Glass Ball. Veronica agrees. In the mean time, Veronica uses yoga to relax and finds Dax, a grad student who practices with her and talks her into doing some pair moves together. Veronica wishes that she could feel something for Zac as he would be a better bet than Sean, but the feelings just aren’t there – at least not on Veronica’s side. Read the story to see if Veronica and Sean can finally find their HEA amidst a hiking trip, the Glass ball and jealous shenanigans.
