Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting my request for an ARC of this book. The review below is entirely my own opinion.

I went into this blind, not knowing that the MC’s of this story were the secondary characters in one of the author’s older books. I only found about this bec after finishing this ARC, I looked for MsSommer’s backlist hoping to find a book about Phoenix and Max (Khara and Adam’s best friends in this book). They were the characters who really captured my interest. And to be honest, this book feels like one whole extended epilogue to Phoenix and Max’s love story.

So while I liked reading about Khara and Adam, I only kept reading bec the setting of the story was during Phoenix and Max’s wedding. And honestly, I wasn’t crazy over Adam, the hero, because he was such a douche for most of the book.

So for fans of Waking up in Vegas (Westerwald Trilogy #1) by Romy Sommer , I think you’ll really love this story. Bec like I said, it’s one long epilogue and there are lots of cameos from the entire Westerwald series.

I'm superficial, I'll admit it! I was totally drawn to this book by the beautiful cover. Unfortunately, it was a tough read for me. I really struggled to finish it and pretty much skimmed the last 75% of the book.

The formatting of the ebook made it really hard to read. I understand its a pre-publication copy but it was hard to follow the story with all the weird line breaks.

The biggest thing for me is that I did not like either of the two main characters. The hero, Adam, is a European royal (the heir to the throne after his cousin's untimely death). He's basically lazy and unmotivated and even owns up to it. Those aren't really appealing characteristics in a romantic hero. Khara is a Vegas bartender who is in Europe for her best friend's wedding. I just found her to be whiny and judgmental. I really did not care if these two got together by the end.

First of all, thank you so much NetGalley and One More Chapter for giving me the chance of reading this romance book. I have to say that I am new to Romy Sommer; this is my first book written by her. Honestly, I had a love and hate relationship with this book; it took me two weeks to read it - why? because of 1) the format and 2) one of the characters. Generally speaking, I enjoy reading the story, I did really liked every single royal detail. I love knowing about the royal protocol and life but the book's format IS annoying.

Book's format - it hasn't a beginning or and end at all. This book annoyed me every time I started reading a new chapter because I hate reading the book, being so into the story to then, reading "chapter twenty (or different one)". Then, later on, the same story, I hope the final ebook has a format, where there is a page for every chapter.

Characters:
Khara: I am so sorry if she's the main female character but she IS annoying; she made me mad through out the story. Her bad judgement to rich people, really, they treated her with respect even though they knew she comes from a middle class family and is a waitress. Yes, there were a few rich individuals that were disrespectful with her but that doesn't mean she has to generalize. Adam has proved her wrong, again, yes! he is and was a jerk, but that was the old Adam!.

In summary, I'm giving three stars to this story because of its format, typos, and the female character. I really enjoyed how Romy explained every royal wedding protocol. In general, the story is good, sweet, light where nothing is complex. Well, just Khara. Adam, the main male character, he changed for good thru and with the story.. Will I recommend it? Yes.

This had everything I love in a romance book! Great characters, good dialogue and of course royalty! Couldn’t put this down! Would recommend to fans of Sophie Kinsella and Helen Hoang.

This book was so cute! I love it when the characters evolve so much in the story that you go from not liking them to loving them by the end!

Arc provided by NetGalley. Light, fun romantic read. Nick is a rich, royal who is use to getting what he wants, khara is a las Vegas bartender that lives in a trailer. She points this out more than once. She is working her way thru college. She has run into more than her share of rich, entitled men who are use to getting what they want. She waitresses for nick one night and he propositions her. A year later, she is a bridesmaid at her best friends royal wedding. Her friend who was also a waitress is marrying her own prince. It’s a little far fetched that two Las Vegas waitresses find their own princes to marry but if you can look passed that part this is a fun, hot romance book. There is humor and romance and sex scenes. Everything to make your heart happy. Though predictable I still
Enjoyed reading it and would recommend it if my friend wanted a light hearted, fun romance book.

I love a royal romance and I must say I enjoyed this one. To begin with I didn't really like Khara and Adam but as the story progressed I found myself liking them more and more.

Nothing new or original but a good royal romance done well!

My Best Friend’s Royal Wedding is a sweet and enjoyable romance.

Khara is jaded when it comes to flashy arrogant wealthy men. She wants nothing to do with them but when she goes to Europe for her best friend’s wedding she cannot deny her attraction to the best man who exemplifies everything she avoids in a man. Khara and Adam both came into the story with misconceptions but I loved the growth of both characters in this story. The plot moved along quickly and its the type of book that is perfect for a light and fun read!

I was given a free copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This was a super cute romcom between a maid of honor and the best man. While strong and independent, Khara does a bit have a bit of an outdated and backwards attitude during much of the book. While playboy Adam has to learn to grow up and make adult decisions, they learn to grow together...or not.

This was a cute premise and had some fun banter and romantic moments, but I had trouble connecting with the characters and never became too invested in their story as a result. I didn't realize it was a spin-off of another series, so perhaps I would've enjoyed it more had I been familiar with some of the characters or their world. Overall, not the best version of the royal romance tropes I love.

2 stars
I could not connect with this book, like at all. And I love royal romance books. I have real a LOT of them! This one missed the mark for me. I struggled with it from page one.

My Best Friend’s Royal Wedding by Romy Sommer.

Khara works as a cocktail waitress in Vegas and her best friend is marrying European head of state and she is the bridesmaid. Adam the best man on first appearance looks to be arrogant privileged and very wealthy. Khara feels very much out of her depth in such a wealthy class orientated environment which is very different from her everyday life.

The trials and tribulations between Khara & Adam on the preparations on social side on the run up to a royal wedding and the relationship between are very humorous and the twists and turns make for a very good read in this Romcom novel. They are Very enjoyable and made you want to continue reading to find out what was going to happen to them both next.

Well written lots of interesting turns not always as you would expect

Thank you for allowing me to preview this title. Unfortunately I was unable to finish it. I just could not connect with the characters. I detested Adam and wasn't particularly fond of Khara either. Just not my cup of tea. But thank you!

Khara is invited to her best friend's wedding. In Europe. She must go because she is the bridesmaid. And of course, the Best Man is, gorgeous. And rich. And sexy as hell.
But she has met him before. He doesn't even remember that night. But he tried to spend the night with her one year ago. In Las Vegas. In the casino where Khara works.
So, saying that Khara is not very happy to see Jim is the understatement of the year.
Both their lives are going to get complicated during a month. Khara is living a fairy tale. And Adam has to face the most important decision in his life.
I liked the story. The banter between the characters is brilliant. And even though I haven't read the previous books, I didn't feel lost in any moment.

The book was alright. I struggled to connect with Khara and Adam though and so wasn’t completely invested in their story.. Worth a look if you like light, fluffy romance.

This book was a mess. to be honest I think this just suffered from a case of me putting too much pressure on it because I love royalty books but it ended up flopping which was unfortunate.

If you are looking for a cheesy, cute, fairy tale romance with palaces and castles, you should go for this one. For fans of Princess diaries, its' a definite yes. Khara, a waitress is the bridesmaid at a royal wedding and falls for the best man, Adam who also happens to be prince. They have an amazing chemistry right from the beginning but obviously as per the genre, they don't either communicate or realize until the end. It certainly follows the fairy tale romantic story plot-lines and doesn't throw any surprises but still for romance readers ,it is a fun read!

I am now interested in reading the author's other books as this book clearly indicated the plot of other characters and Max/Phoenix story seems to be really intriguing.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

I generally read romance novels to escape reality “for a brief moment in time”. Although this book has an interesting plot and descriptive writing, I found it boring and slow. The transition between some chapters is confusing. I did not feel a strong chemistry between Adam and Khara especially at the end. Adam is weak and Khara is insecure and she placed too much emphasis on her so called “trailer trash” background.

This was exactly was I was looking for, and I really liked it!

Cheesy? Maybe... but it was, also a very nice entertaining and feel good story.
It was such a cute and captivating fairy tale romance, and far from the typical predictable Cinderella royal books. It might not be all that original, but that was not really what I wanted from this kind of story anyway.
Bottom line, I enjoyed the heck out of it.

It takes place in Romy Sommer's Westerwald trilogy, but can very easily be read as a standalone.

Khara Thomas is a cocktail waitress in Vegas from the wrong side of the tracks. She gets the chance of a lifetime to experience how the other half lives serving as maid of honor in her best friend's wedding to a European Archduke. The best man, notorious royal playboy Adam Hatton, offers to help her learn the ropes of royal protocol after one too many embarrassing moments for Khara. In a modern Pygmalion + Cinderella story, Khara has a hard time denying her growing attraction as she realizes there might be more to Adam than meets the eye.

A quick note, this book is a spinoff of another series by Romy Sommer, and I wish that had been made more clear. As I was reading, I felt like a lot of characters were just casually mentioned like I should have known who they were. It wasn't until after I finished that I found out they were the main characters in her other series.

Khara is not a very relatable or sympathetic character, and I felt like her huge "I'm poor, I'm trailer trash, I don't belong here" chip on her shoulder was really annoying. She wasn't really an endearing, awkward, "oops I'm too American to understand royal protocols;" rather, she was just super rude and almost snobby. Like, acting like she was better than the royals because she actually *worked*.

Adam was fine, and he actually had the more interesting character development. So while Khara acts like he is playboy Eurotrash, I found myself more drawn to his journey and growing maturity. It was an awkward disagreement between me and Khara for like half the book.

The story itself is predictable, but cute, and has the feelings of a grown up Princess Diaries. It had way more steam than I was expecting, but that's what we get nowadays with these cute cartoonish covers - it might be a sweet Sophie Kinsella story or it might be a steamy Helen Hoang lol. It didn't really add anything to the plot, but since the chemistry between Khara and Adam was rather unbelievable I think it was a cheap device to force you to see their relationship.

I'm giving this book 3 stars because I did really find Adam to be an interesting character and the story was cute and fun.
