Synopsis (Goodreads):

Heavenly and Carlos have been best friends their whole lives. But it’s almost time for Heavenly’s birthday, which means she’ll be married off to a king.

Carlos has been King for a few years now and is being pressured to choose a bride. But he’s only ever had eyes for one princess, and he’s had to wait for her to turn twenty-one.

Heavenly doesn’t have any idea the plans Carlos has made for her, so when she offers to marry his brother, things don’t go so well. Girl, they don’t go well at all… Carlos isn’t having that. She gets a dose of alpha when Carlos lays down the law. But when she runs…how far will she actually get?

Warning: Do you really wonder if there’s a happily ever after? Because you know that’s kind of our thing, right? Look, he chases her, but it all works out. Also it’s really hot. Get it!

Thoughts on Claimed Princess: The cracktastic world of princesses and kings is BACK and I'm loving it hard.

Now, Heavenly's a sweet lady, but she's kinda clueless about how Carlos feels about her. And by "kinda" I mean A LOT clueless. So when she comes up with what she thinks is a BRILLIANT way for her to stay in Carlos's family and, ultimately, stay close to Carlos, he kinda explodes. Because having the woman of his dreams say she would happily marry his brother is NOT the thing a besotted king wants to hear.

SHENANIGANS ENSUE! And by that, I mean Carlos punches everyone who gets between him and Heavenly. Which sounds a wee bit caveman-ish and unenlightened, but it's really very endearing. And Heavenly doesn't seem to mind. And the men he punched understood where he was coming from. So...ALL'S WELL!

I'm catching up on this series, so here's to more cracktastic sexiness in the future!
