American Royals by Katharine McGee (American Royals book 1)

"What if America had a royal family?

When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne.

As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America's first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares about the spare except when she's breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn't care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. And then there's Samantha's twin, Prince Jefferson. If he'd been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince . . . but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart." - taken from Goodreads.com

I picked up this book knowing that I needed something completely frivolous to read next. The whole concept of George Washington becoming the first American King after the Revolution was completely unrealistic to this is history major but I did love how the author wove certain aspects and places of history into the story. This title was one that I knew I would either love it or hate it. Thank goodness I completely loved everything about the story. There is just something about royalty and romance that hooks me in. What I wasn't expecting was the ending and finding out that this is actually the first book and a new series. Now to wait for book two next fall. 

Book two is untitled but due out in the fall of 2020.
