Review: Of Princes and Promises

Of Princes and Promises by Sandhya Menon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alaric may have cheated on Caterina, but that doesn’t mean she is going to let it define the rest of her school year.  Rahul believes the moment he shared with Caterina at the winter formal meant something, but he also knows that he doesn’t have her social graces and would have trouble stepping into her world.  Caterina has learned that Alaric is planning to bring a supermodel to an upcoming social event and she needs a date that shows she is not down and out.  Caterina plans to train and transform Rahul into the perfect gentleman.  Will she be able to work out his rough edges?  What is with the mysterious hair gel that seems to give Rahul the confidence he needs?

 

Of Princes and Promises is the second book in the St. Rosetta’s Academy series.  This fun romance has just enough “magic” to fall into a fairy tale retelling.  The characters are fun and the exchanges throughout are exciting.  There is a little mystery that is included with this story and Menon has outdone herself in crafting a fun read for many ages.  Even though this is a “romance,” it can be read by even the youngest YA reader and will be enjoyed by most adult readers.  Although this is the second book in the series, it is primarily a companion book because the setting is the same, but the main characters are different.  Readers can jump right into this title or start at the beginning.
