Review:
In Royal Marriage Market, we are introduced into the future reigning monarchs of the 21st century, young, beautiful, brilliant and bright.  They are the future and is as hip and modern as the 21st century can offer.  But unbeknownst to their adoring public, their exist a summit of huge proportion that occurs every so often, attended by the reigning monarchs and their progenies for one specific purpose, to broker their children's marriage sealing a deal as advantageous as it can get.  Never mind their children's feelings this is for the future and tradition must be met.  Princess Elsa, crown princess is aghast that her parents are dead set that she and her sister attend this barbaric summit to be "whored out" as she states to any one interested.  But its a done deal and she's off to California (there's a castle in California?) for the Royal Marriage Market.  Christian, heir to a dukedom is downright against the RMM but his virago of a mother is dangling the penniless future his father, brother and even his personal secretary will be facing if he fails to attend and secure the marriage she deigns fit for her plans.  But something amazing happens, Elsa and Christian meet, and meet again, and again until its no surprise they start falling in love.  But they have obligations to uphold, the meat market to attend and parents to appease.  Can they raise up in arms against in rebellion for this archaic practice or would they bow down to tradition, regretting a lost love in the future?

Royal Marriage  Market starts out fantastic with tones of a great romantic comedy.  Elsa and Christian's character are spot on as royals who takes their obligations seriously but can still say Fuck off to their parents asinine plans.  Whats really good about this book besides the witty dialogues, is the secondary characters who are well developed as well propelling the pacing of the story in a much more faster. The plot can sound over the top but combine it with great characters, both main and secondary, a tempering of the situation both royals face with realistic expectations and situations and the way the romance and love develops between Elsa and Christian, Royal Marriage Market will have you swooning and clapping like any traditional fairy tale has done before.
   

  
About ROYAL MARRIAGE MARKET: 

 Every decade, the world’s monarchs and their heirs secretly convene to discuss global politics and social issues—and arrange marriages between kingdoms. Elsa may be the Hereditary Princess of Vattenguldia, but she finds the entire situation archaic and unsavory. While she wants what's best for her country, she isn't about to jump into an unwanted relationship—let alone a marriage—with a virtual stranger. Of course, her feelings matter little to her parents, whose wheeling and dealings over trade pacts and alliances achieved at her expense begin the moment they set foot in California for the Summit. So when a blindingly handsome royal runs into her, she doesn't hesitate to tell him there's no way she's marrying him. Christian is all too happy to agree: no marriage. As the Hereditary Grand Duke of Aiboland, his main goal is to get through the summit without a bride being foisted on him. Which is why he suggests they help each other field potential intendeds. As Christian slowly gets to know Elsa, though, he realizes they have a lot more in common than just their feelings about the Royal Marriage Market. Only he can't fall for her, because royal or not, they're not meant for each other. Elsa and Christian will have to evaluate matters of the heart verses those of state and crown, and decide whether or not tradition trumps love.

It was just another day for 35-year-old-turning-36-tomorrow Jeffrey Mercier, when he woke up on his flat in London in 1969. He went on with his usual routine, going to work for his boring job at Harlan and Locke. It did seem to be an ordinary day, until a young woman told him that he's gonna die in ten minutes if he won't go out of the building. Of course he didn't believe her, yet he found himself outside the building ten minutes later, the building blown up. He was saved again from a stampede by the same young woman whom he met ten minutes ago, introducing herself as Marie-Elizabeth Giraud. Marie was tasked to save Jeff from death and take him to the Time Agency, where he's going to be inducted as a time agent. Later that day, Jeffrey Mercier's life as Mister Mercy begins.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the
