Daisy is a typical 16yo girl who enjoys hanging with her best friend and working as a grocery store cashier, but her life changes drastically when her sister becomes engaged to the Prince of Scotland.  Quickly Daisy finds her summer plans reconstructed to include a trip to Scotland to meet her sister’s soon-to-be in-laws.  The good news is there are a lot of hot royal teen boys in Scotland, the bad news is that the press likes to alter the real story to always look like a scandal.  Daisy has to be on her best behavior, but what happens when she might really fall for a Scottish boy.  

This book is a fun light read with humorous dialogue and cute characters.  This book was previously published under the title: The Royals.  The content includes a make-out session, some crass comments, same sex relationship, fist fight and underage drinking.  Although a second book is coming, this book can stand on its own.
