Alexandra Ryans’s life has been anything but normal. Some might even call it a fairy tale. As the daughter of the former U.S. ambassador to England, she grew up within the palace walls, best friends with the three young princes. Adored by the press and the British people. What more could a girl want? If only the press knew the real story behind her relationships with the Dudley boys. Then, … Then, they’d really sell some papers.
Oliver Dudley, youngest son and third in line for the throne, loves everything about his life. But while the world thinks he has everything he wants, there’s one thing he was never able to call his own–the beautiful and spunky American Aly Ryans. But how can he convince her when she hates everything about his life? And what is he willing to give up to get her?

This book is every little girl’s fairy tale dream come true.
Thank you, Ms. Truitt, for reminding me why I loved to read these “Prince Charming” romance books as much as I have in the past. Royal Attraction is an excellent reminder!
Alexandra (Ali) grew up in the palace with the Dudley boys. Her father was the American ambassador to England, and later the Kings friend and advisor. Aiden is the Crown Prince of England was Alexandra’s first crush growing up. Freddie, is second in line to the throne. Then, there is Oliver (Ollie). He is third in line. Being third in line to the throne, Ollie knows he will never be King, so he sets himself up as the Crown Playboy, the media draw, to take the media focus off his brothers. Ollie is also Ali’s best friend, and, unbeknownst to Ollie, the love of her life. She gave him her virginity 5 years ago, causing a rift between the brothers. Ali could not bear to see the brothers as odds, so, she ran to America. Now, Freddie is getting married, and Ali is summoned home to England for her friends wedding.
Ali has made a mess of her life in America. She has failed out of college. Had an affair with her professor, which she has been accused of trading “favors” to for a better grade. And did I mention, unbeknownst to Ali, her professor is married. OOPS.
Ali, Ollie, and Aiden work out their issues, and Ali and Ollie decide to take their relationship forward. All he… heck breaks loose when Ali’s past comes to the press’s attention. Ali runs again, not wanting this to ruin Freddie’s and Sophie’s wedding.
Will Ollie and Ali EVER catch a break? This is a romance book, what do you think??? But, I will not tell you how it comes together…
I loved how Ali and Ollie work out their conflicts, and watch them fall deeper and deeper in love.
This is the first book I have read by Tiffany Truitt, and I have to say, I LOVED EVER WORD!!! I have found a new author to follow and stalk (noooo, not that way! LOL) I want to find out if Aiden is getting his story told as well. Will we find out how Freddie and Sophie met and fell in love? Hmmmm

I can honestly say that I almost did not give this book a chance. After page two I was convinced this book was going to be grammatically and logistically immature. I am proud to say, I kept reading. The story build was fantastic. It kept me in perpetual suspense and dying to know what happens next.
I also liked that this was a unique take and situation regarding a royal family. The characters were relatable, loveable and flawed. The adults acted like adults most of the time and the romance was beautifully set. The smexy times were more emotion than raunchy and written well.
Overall, I did enjoy this story very much.
Loved the story, but totally disliked the way the writer went back and forth from a child to an adult. The back and forth play throughout the book didn’t allow me to get involved in the romance unfolding as much as I would have liked.
I thought she should have ended up with the brother. He treated her better and was not a jerk.
I really enjoyed the love triangle
