This was the sequel to A Royal Pain and also suffered from the completely unrealistically unwieldy dialogue. It's the pretty standard romance formula but the characters are fun enough that I didn't really care. I probably won't be continuing on with the series but the first two books were a fun diversion. ( ) Although this book can be read as a standalone, why would you want too? The first book, A Royal Pain, was filled with laugh out loud and touching moments that you wouldn't want to miss out on... this second book to the Unruly Royals Series picks up right where the first one left off following Bronte's best friend, Sarah and Max's younger brother, Devon. Their story is also filled with laughable and relatable moments, but hotter! Sarah James is a young, successful, and well-traveled gorgeous woman who designs shoes for a living! Her determination to thrive and be successful in her business has always come first for as long as she can remember. She has never had the time for a boyfriend... and no matter how satisfied she is with her career, it doesn't hide the fact that she is still a single, 20-something year old virgin. So when the Duke of Northrop's sexy younger brother puts the moves on her, there is no way that she is saying no... a weekend fling is exactly what she needs... What Sarah doesn't realize is that maybe, just maybe, she might need a bit more! Devon Heyworth is known to be the brother of the Duke of Northrop, the playboy-tempered-no-gooder-mommy's-little-royal-baby-boy... little do people know, even his own family doesn't know, that there is a lot more to him than just bumming around the world! And that is exactly what he wants people to think of him. Makes it easy to brush off any royal responsibilities and any serious relationships... When Devon first sees Sarah, it is with a smack in the face! He is not only attracted to her in a way that he's never known, but he wants more... a lot more than he realizes and is ready for! With the right person, Devon does have a soft side! He is also brilliant in a way that no one can fully understand without wanting to take advantage of him. His secret-keeping is completely understandable; but I would have liked to have seen Devon embrace his true-self more. Sarah and Devon's chemistry is undeniable! Megan Mulry's writing has you wrapped around her little finger - every moment is perfectly detailed to perfection! Throughout the book, the story jumps from one point of view to the next in smooth transitions. And the sexiness, although steamy at times, it was done tastefully and right. In the mood for a good chic-lit, than this is definitely the series you should jump into to!!! For fans of Sophie Kinsella, If the Shoe Fits is highly enjoyable romantic escapism with a suprisingly very human aristocratic hero and an energetic businesswoman heroine. The only negative was the lack of authenticity in the misunderstandings between them. The plot moved swiftly, however, and the author conveyed strong bonds of attraction as well as genuine commitment to each other. Terrific secondary characters, lavish settings and steamy encounters too. no reviews | add a review
