This was an ok read. The characters were nice but didn't grab me. I thought the plot was quite predictactable which was a shame.

Janet Gover has written this very topical romance with a light touch and has created believable characters that I cared about.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for allowing me to read this very enjoyable book in exchange for an honest review.

Lauren, an unconventional girl, whose life involves her art and friendships, crosses paths with the Rebel Prince. He can find no great cause, that touches his heart, to espouse and so spends times kicking over the traces. She it is who opens his eyes to the poverty and need surrounding him by taking him to a refuge. Lauren’s blue hair makes her instantly recognisable so that, what started as a simple trip to inform the prince of the great need becomes an intertwining of two lives ....one royal and the other artisan

Marrying the Rebel Prince is written by Janet Glover and published on 26 April 2018 by HQ Digital, an imprint of HarperCollins. Prince Nickolas Edwin Verbier D'arennes is the second Prince of the small, fictitious, Kingdom of Arennes. Like many rich Royals he lives life in the fast lane and has a well deserved wild reputation and is widely perceived as the Rebel Prince. In contrast Lauren Phelps is a blue haired unconventional struggling artist, who volunteers at a local church drop in centre and isn't afraid to argue her case to the Prince. This is her big break, her first large/royal commission which will make or break her career. Every step they take is analysed in the press, on social media and on television. Their budding relationship develops under the social media microscope as Lauren paints Prince Nickolas' portrait. Falling in love was the easy part, is their relationship strong enough to survive all their secrets, incessant scrutiny and criticism from all sides?

Marrying the Rebel Prince is a 21 century romantic Cinderella's tale. The insidious nature and pervading influence of social media, criticism that she is not a proper princess, plus the realisation that Nickolas has a reason to be a Rebel are all strands that influence the British Royal Family and are touched upon in this fictitious novel. I enjoyed this story, I haven't read any of her previous books but found her work to be humourous, well throughout and the story cohesive.

I absolutely loved this book! I read it in the run up to the recent Royal Wedding and just adored it. Lauren is very bohemian with bright blue hair and a heart for helping others and she's been commissioned to paint Nicholas, the playboy prince for his 30th birthday. This is the most modern Royal romance I've read in a long time and it had me sucked in from the start. This book is sweet, endearing and heartwarming and I willed Lauren to get the portrait from the beginning and for them to fall in love and live happily ever after...
