Book Review: Stolen To Wear His Crown by Marcella Bell

Stolen To Wear His Crown is the first in the Royal Guard M&B trilogy and the first book to be be published by Marcella Bell, congratulations on your success! 

Mina has gone to the palace in Cyrano to accept the position of chief scientific advisor. She is snatched from the interview room and taken immediately to the Chapel where she is told she must wed King Zayn. Zayn doesn’t want to marry someone he doesn’t know but knows he must in order to protect the monarchy, even though Mina is unsuitable to be queen. 

Zayn is cold and stand offish without being cruel whilst Mina is an innocent hardworking book worm who has never been kissed. Although the kidnapping part of the book is rather unrealistic, the part where Zayn goes on a chat show to declare his love does appear more so with the upcoming Oprah/Harry/Megan interview.

As a first book this was well thought out and evenly paced. It didn’t drag and new ideas were introduced - the chat show. Although unrealistic in places, the author shows promise and I look forward to reading the other books in this series. 

I received this book via Netgalley and Mills and Boon in exchange for a honest review. I am a #MillsAndBoonInsider #netgalley #gifted
