The Princess List ~ Review

The Princess List

Heirs of Peverell #1

By Hannah Currie

There's nothing like getting an unexpected marriage proposal just as you are taking your first steps to find who you are. No, I have not personally experienced a marriage proposal, but this is what happens to Bayley Lorbera just as she's about to board her first airplane to a country that isn't Peverell. And, of course, it has to come from her childhood best friend, who is also the prince of  Peverell. Nope, not happening ever - she knows she is most definitely not princess material. Now she just needs to convince Cameron that there is someone better for him, somewhere.

But Cameron isn't about to take no for an answer, not when he knows that Bayley is the only woman her will ever love. But how is he to convince her of the truth he knows in his heart? But will his determination actually push Bayley away? And what if Bayley finds someone he could actually learn to love? Is he trying to force something that was never meant to be? 

 I loved how this book unfolded and how "the list" played such an important role. I think the underlying truth I got from this book was not the journey to find love or marriage, but learning to trust in God's timing and path. Worthiness is not determined by the opinions of others, who see only the outer appearance filtered through their own prejudices; no worthiness is a gift given by God. We have only to accept His gift.

This is a book I would recommend to teens and up. 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts expressed are my own.

About the Book:

She has a list. 
Being a princess isn’t on it.

Having grown up in the palace, the daughter of two senior staff members, Bayley Lorbera knows all about palace life. Like where the best leftovers are stored after hours, and which forks go with which courses, and the quickest way to make an escape from any room in the castle. And the fact that she’s definitely not princess material. Princesses are supposed to be elegant, outgoing, and effortlessly charming. Not shy, average-sized, glasses-wearing, purple-haired girls more comfortable in fictional worlds than the real one. Bayley is perfectly content playing backup in a ballgown to the royal family while she works her way through the list meant to turn her into the kind of person she wants to be.

Hence the laughter when her best friend, Prince Cameron of Peverell, proposes. He can’t possibly be serious, can he? Marriage? Love? No way. Because seriously—not princess material. But Cameron is determined to win her, and she’s just as determined to prove to him how unsuited she is to the role, and find him someone who is. Easy, right?
