Here is the Goodreads synopsis…

“A glass castle shatters as easily as a glass house—all it takes is one stone.

Prince Edward has known this all of his life, and taken staunch measures to ensure he doesn’t give the public any reason to pick up their rocks. Or torches. Or pitchforks. As a twenty-two-year-old in line to ascend the throne, he lives more like a cloistered monk than his college-aged peers. Restraint is the tone of his life, resilience the theme.

That is, until he meets a young woman who couldn’t care less about his title—unless she’s poking fun at it. Charlotte Everly grew up a stone’s throw away from the royal family’s summer house, but her life was, and is, entirely different from the prince’s.

They clash at each turn, disagree on every topic, and bear a general contempt for one another. Until . . .

One night, accompanied by one proposal, leads to one lapse in judgment . . .

Results in a nationwide scandal neither of them will escape.”

Here are my more detailed thoughts…

• Characters: Edward and Charlotte were the main characters. Charlotte is your headstrong yet innocent-esque protagonist. She is so multi-dimensional and this makes her relatable to almost every reader as she will bring something to the table that is relatable for you. Edward is the Prince, almost King and is portrayed as a man really torn about ascending the throne. This portrayal allows the reader to come to understand the loss of freedom in Edward’s life and what makes him the way he is.
• Setting: The story, for the most part, unfolds in the Valmont Manor, which is the royal family’s summer home. The Kingdom is called Norland, obviously, a made-up place, but it reads like contemporary not like a made up fantasy world.
• Romance: The way in which Edward and Charlotte fell in love was definitely a slow burn style, which made it so rewarding when they began to better understand their feelings. Charlotte spends the majority of the novel interested in another man, but it is through asking Edward for advice and help that she begins to notice how she is comfortable with Edward and not with the man she is striving to be with.

From Goodreads: “Second chances are for kids, diets, and shelter pets—not for relationships. Especially not one like Chase and Emma’s. 

Before he was writing chart-topping hits and smashing record sales, Chase Lawson was Emma’s childhood friend and first love. They promised each other forever, but forever expired at eighteen, when he landed a major record deal and left Emma and their hometown behind.

Ten years later, he shows up at their high school reunion with a proposition she can’t refuse. Six months. Seven figures. He gets a chance to clean up his reputation, and she gets the means to restore the old family farmhouse. It’s only for show—hold hands in public, kiss for the cameras—but boundaries blur behind closed doors.

It isn’t long before Emma feels her resolve slipping, crushed by the shadow of the boy she grew to love in the man selling out stadiums of present. Can Emma resist one of the most irresistible bachelors in the world? Or will she fall for the same man twice?”

Now to go more in depth on the most important components in my opinion…

• Characters: Emma and Chase were the main protagonists of this story. Emma is the perpetually single friend among a group of friends that have already figured their love lives out (way too relatable for me). Chase broke her heart when he left their small town to pursue a record deal, consequently breaking it off with Emma. Chase surprised me as he was not the stereotypical music superstar character one sees portrayed in other NA books, he kept more of his down to earth, small-town roots compared to previous famous characters that I have encountered.
• Setting: The book setting changes frequently as the characters are on tour. I absolutely love books that feature tours as you get so many different settings that tend to all be super enjoyable.
• Pacing: Nicole struck the right balance for how fast the characters were establishing the previous rhythm they had.
• Romance: This book had a wonderful romantic storyline as Emma grew more open about giving Chase a second chance, while Chase was working so incredibly hard not to lose the girl again.

Want a fun quick read NA read you should pick up Fool Me Once, I give Fool Me Once four out of five stars.
