3.5 Romanov stars

ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

A retelling of Anastasia? This had me intrigued.

I find the story of the Romanov family and the mystery of whether Anastasia survived or not fascinating, so it was not hardship to read Royally Romanov.

I liked the cute and quirky Finley, adored her passion for her work.

Then there is Maxim in all his amnesiac glory. Broody and surrounded by mystery, I could understand why Finley gets swept away in all the mystery and romance of the "lost Romanov".

Whilst I enjoyed the cuteness and the romance of it all, I did feel that the conclusion of things felt a little lack lustre. I felt that there was so much lead up, so much suspense all building up, and then ... nothing. It kind of fell flat - however this could just be me.

I haven't read Royally Roma, however I did like Romanov enough that I will go back and read it too.
