I love these books. This time a way ward princess is sent Balmoral to sort herself out. Funny, sad and a good story. Some great characters . Parents love or hate them but we need them. A jolly good read.

This book absolutely grew on me. The first few chapters of scene setting didn’t paint Alice in a very good light in fact she was particularly irritating.. the trip up to Scotland and the beautiful scenery started to chip away at her flighty and selfish exterior. The descriptions of Balmoral and of life in the castle as well as the grounds and the minutiae of daily life are really well told and add life to the book. The inner Alice comes out with care and kindness and the slow romance it’s really quite lovely. This book is a total flight of fantasy but somehow the author makes it seem grounded in reality and a great read.

Regally Blonde is a sparkling romantic comedy that perfectly blends royal escapades, personal transformation, and swoon-worthy romance set against the dramatic beauty of Balmoral.

Lady Alice Walpole is the quintessential blonde royal socialite, accustomed to tiaras, glittering soirées, and making headlines for all the wrong reasons. After a particularly scandalous night of partying with a royal suitor, her father decides enough is enough and sends her to Balmoral to reflect and clean up her act.

Enter Fraser Bell, the rugged and no-nonsense Piper to the Sovereign. With his love of tartans and horses, Fraser is worlds apart from Alice’s high-society lifestyle. Tasked with waking her up every morning with his bagpipes, he finds her antics more than a little grating. However, as Alice adjusts to the Highland life, Fraser starts to see a different side of her—one that surprises them both.

What starts as a punishment for Alice soon becomes a transformative experience. She begins to fall for the breathtaking scenery of Balmoral and, more surprisingly, for Fraser himself. But as their chemistry grows, so does the question: can a tiara-wearing London socialite and a tartan-clad Highlander ever truly find common ground?

Megan Clawson weaves a charming tale of opposites attracting, filled with wit, warmth, and just the right touch of drama. Alice’s journey from a frivolous party girl to someone with newfound depth and purpose is engaging and relatable. Fraser’s stoic exterior hides a heart of gold, and their interactions are both humorous and heartwarming.

With its vivid Scottish setting and a romance that feels both modern and timeless, Regally Blonde is a delightful escape that will leave readers smiling long after the final page. Perfect for fans of royal rom-coms and anyone who dreams of finding love in the Highlands.

Another fantastic book from Megan. I so love the way she writes both storylines and the characters themselves too. Given the book is primarily set in nearby Balmoral, I was always going to love it and the way the place is written about made you feel like it was just someone’s house rather than a Royal residence! The characters, and their love for the place really shown through. The main character, Alice, was excellent - the transformation from highbrow snob to a more warming person was lovely to read about, helped of course by the down to earth Scots featured in the book. A definite book to recommend!
