Accidentally Claimed by His Majesty!" delivers a whirlwind of royal drama, mistaken identity, and undeniable chemistry that will keep romance lovers hooked from start to finish.

The story follows Maddi, an ordinary woman thrust into an extraordinary situation when she poses as her half-sister, the Princess of Isla’Rosa. What starts as a risky charade quickly spirals into something far more complicated when King Aristedes discovers the truth—but instead of exposing Maddi, he insists she maintain the façade to prevent a scandal that could rock the monarchy.

Maddi’s journey from outsider to royal imposter is filled with emotional highs and personal dilemmas. The weight of living a life that was never hers clashes with the intoxicating allure of Aristedes’s world—and his piercing, smoldering gaze. Their chemistry crackles with every stolen glance and lingering touch, creating a slow-burn romance that’s both thrilling and heartfelt.

While the plot leans into classic tropes of mistaken identity and royal romance, it does so with a refreshing energy. Maddi is a relatable heroine—torn between right and wrong, yet brave enough to step into a world that was never meant for her. King Aristedes is equally captivating, a powerful figure whose duty to the crown is rivaled only by his growing feelings for Maddi.

The book shines in its exploration of identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to follow one’s heart, even when the stakes are impossibly high. Readers who love fairytale-like settings, strong emotional stakes, and sizzling romantic tension will find this a delightful escape.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5 stars) — A perfect blend of royal intrigue and heartfelt romance.

Princess Laia was promised to Prince Aristedes as a child but doesnt want to marry, so her half sister who looks like her decides to pretend to be her, but can she fight the growing attraction and does she want to, this was an enjoyable read.

Abby Green is a favourite writer of mine, and this book more than lived up to my high expectations.

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

Princess Laia is destined to marry the King of Santanger but when she arrives in his kingdom, he soon realises it isnt her. Instead her half sister is there. He sees through the ruse but decides she must play along until he finds his actual bride. What could possibly go wrong?

OOh gotta love a royal romance. Always fun to read a happy ending novel. i really did enjoy this one. Its a simple premise but its written well. The plot is a steady burn to the expected ending but the journey was worth it. You know what you're getting in stories like this. We see both Maddi and Ari develop and grow through the story. A sweet fun read.

I really enjoy Abby Green’s style of writing and have read all her novels. I am, however, losing interest with the plethora of fictional royal families scattered around Europe, please look at the storylines/ tropes of the 1990s/ early 2000s for some inspiration. But back to the book, taking away the royal aspect, the characters are fun, relatable and I enjoyed reading how their characters and relationships developed. This would have been enjoyable without the royal angle.

From the opening paragraph to the last words of this book, I fell in love weith Maddi, Ari and Santanger. This is a beautiful story of love, finding yourself and becoming something more than you ever thought you could be. I want to keep on turning every page of this gorgeous book.

I hope the next book is Queen Laia and Dex's story.

I am finding it harder and harder to read these royal stories. According to Mills and Boon, there must be several hundred tiny monarchies and principalities in the Mediterranean, around the Baltic and off the north west coast of Africa. I know we are supposed to suspend disbelief but the kind of royal families in Mills and Boon haven’t existed in reality for a couple of centuries.

I find the work building in these royal,stories really poor and the attitudes of the Kings/Princes etc - utterly bizarre.

The author couldn’t write badly if she tried and once I managed to ignore the whole ‘royal’ thing, I enjoyed it. We had an interesting hero and heroine in Ari and Maddie (even if the overall premise wa utterly bizarre).

There was some fabulous dialogue and great sex scenes and I enjoyed most of it.

Princess Laia was destined, since birth, to marry Prince Aristedes to bring a much needed peace between Isla’Rosa and Santanger. But Princess Laia has other ideas and has been avoiding him for years. Her half-sister Maddi could be her twin sister and so steps in as her doppelganger.

My favourite troupe is fake dating, so I was invested from the start. I loved how Maddi stepped into the shoes of Princess Laia. Of course, King Aristedes saw through her, but only just, and convinced her to stay in character, which she was a natural.

I'm already looking forward to reading what Princess Laia got up to while Maddi was keeping Ari busy.

The romance is complicated, Maddi is is pretending to be her half sister Laila and confusion reigns. . The book is sexy and emotional and the far off island states aren’t too far fetched in the tale. Some bruised egos and breaks but all ends up as a sweet happy ending.
