BOOK REVIEW- FALLING FOR THE REBEL PRINCESS by Ellie Darkins

From princess to rock-star royalty! 

Self-proclaimed "black sheep" Princess Charlie of Afland has worked long and hard to be taken seriously in the music industry, managing to keep her royal obligations, and her secret heartbreak, under the radar. Until one night in Vegas changes everything… 

Rock star Joe Kavanagh gets more from his Vegas gig than he'd bargained for…a princess bride and a PR story to die for! As the initial attraction, which led them down the aisle, turns into something deeper, keeping their marriage strictly business proves increasingly difficult…AMAZON 4 STARS

This story was emotional with good characters and an unusual plot.  They way that they met and married was definitely not the usual way.

I liked both Charlie and Joe.  Charlie didn't fit into the typical Princess mode and it always made her feel lacking.  She had zero attraction to all the men that have been presented to her as worthy potential husbands.  And she definitely didn't want to live the expected Princess life but she did have dreams and wanted to prove herself.  
Joe was a good guy who found success as a musician but he also had a lot of hurts from people in his past wanting to use him.  He also at times as a young man made to feel like he didn't fit in the world of elite education that he got thrust into. When I look at it, that is something that both Joe and Charlie did have in common and of course, they had that crazy attraction going on.  They lived in the land of denial on what to do with that for a while.  
One thing that I did wonder about was how Charlie kept her "secret" from her family when she was a teenager.  I would think that as a minor her information would be shared at least to her mother since Queen or not she was family.  Other than that question it was a quick, enjoyable read. 
On a side note, I liked the elegant feel of the picture on the front of this book.
