About this ebook
'Queen Abelia?' She hardly thinks so.
Abbie knew it was going to be a challenge to maintain her independence while engaged to the king, but she didn't expect to be saddled with security so soon. Now that she's reunited with Edward, all she wants is to be together--as long as it's on her own terms.
Enemies within and without are making Edward's royal wedding look less likely by the day. His fiance is still miles away across the continent. And now he's flying to a foreign country because his childhood friend has just been shot trying to apprehend his traitorous brother. When Abbie's health problems flare, it puts a new kind of stress on their rekindled relationship. His bride-to-be can pick a fight, but not a dress…
When a threat from within the castle forces them to flee, Abbie and Edward decide to throw a masquerade that's concealing something itself: a trap...with Abbie as the bait. Can they outwit their opponents before time runs out?
Breaking Up the Royals is a sweet, modern fantasy with heart and wit. This five-book series is complete; dive into the mixed-up world of the Rocky Royal Romances today! This book was previously published under the title The Un-Queen.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5General info
The story of King Edward and Abbie continues. The war might be over, but not all people are happy about it. Especially when Abbie has announced that she won't take the place of a queen. The are constantly fighting the odds while trying to plan a wedding.
Things I liked
I think I enjoyed this book even more than the first one. It's a beautiful story and it's even more romantic than the first book. Abbie and King Edward are now in love and fighting the fight together. The characters are still interesting and complex and I like that the supporting characters have their own little stories within the book even if it focuses on Abbie and King Edward. I'm truly happy that they get their happy ending.
All in all, this is a lovely story and for me this was even better than the first book in the series. I can't wait to keep on reading the series.
*Free copy of the book received from Book Sirens for an honest review - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'll admit it, I chose to read this book for it's cover, but found so much more. First, I appreciated the honest discussions and conflict between the engaged couple. That's not what you normally read in this type of story. Both Abbie and Parker had (and will continue to have) a lot to learn about handling conflict and working as a team, and it was often frustrating to see them screw it up so badly, but there was also very real progress made, which was fantastic to watch. The idea of having the rulers (or former ruler in Abbie's case) of a matriarchy and a patriarchy come together would naturally lead to some difficulties. I was a little uncomfortable with all the conversations the couple had about sex, but the scenes themselves stayed pretty PG and it made sense for an engaged couple to be having these conversations (even if I didn't particularly want to listen in).The second wow factor was the frankness with which diseases, in this case lupus and trisomy 21, were discussed with both their hardships and their gifts. This is not common, particularly with so much else going on in the story. Very cool, Ms. West! Abbie's desire for independence was understandable, but Parker's desire to share everything in her life, even her suffering was equally compelling.I was a bit confused by the magic system in the story. Initially, everything seemed normal, but then magic became a fascinating part of certain aspects of Parker's world that affected Abbie's life. That could use a bit more explanation but interesting regardless. I didn't read the first book in the series, but felt I was able to follow the story well regardless. I'm curious about what the next chapter in their lives will look like.I received an advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
