The Royal Romance: Book 3

The Royal Romance returns next week on Friday! After everything that's happened, there's still more ahead -- courtly intrigue, poodles galore, and your own Cordonian romance! What does The Royal Romance team have in store for you? Let's find out!

Without spoiling anything, tell us what's next in The Royal Romance: Book 3. Of course, there's romance...

Meagan: Our main character has leveled up, but so have the obstacles in her way. I can't say much without spoiling things, but one of the most exciting aspects of Book 3 is getting to see more of Cordonia and the people who live there.

Olivia: The Royal Romance always has a blend of serious elements like conspiracies and secrets, mixed with Maxwell's dance-offs and an unusual amount of talk about apples. Book 3 is no exception!

Is everyone okay? Is a big, extravagant wedding in the cards? And seriously, is everyone okay?!

Meagan: 'Okay' is relative. Let's start with the big question that's obviously been haunting everyone since the cliffhanger: No corgis were harmed in the making of Book 2. But what happened at the end of the book will have ramifications. Our intrepid group of friends has faced so much in the story already, but never anything like this. We'll be exploring a more serious side to life at court, but don't worry, there's still plenty of fun and romance!

Jeffrey: ...What Meagan said. A big, extravagant wedding is in the deck, but who knows if you’ll draw it into your hand?

With a duchy to govern, will there be any geopolitical drama? Or will it mainly be fancy hats?

Jennifer: After the Book 2 cliffhanger, it's clear Cordonia's got some enemies, and as a duchess of Cordonia, it'll be up to you to help the King find out what's going on. Of course, being a duchess has many advantages, like being able to throw even bigger and better parties!

Jeffrey: One should never underestimate the power of a fancy hat.

Out of everyone, who would you choose to be engaged to?

Kara: I would pick the King. He's a bright spot in the Royal Romance universe. I can't imagine ever having a sad day with him by my side.

Jennifer: Drake, all the way. I have weakness for aloof men who are softies at heart.

Meagan: It's hard to choose when so much of the focus of The Royal Romance is making each of the relationships feel like capital T "The" love story of the book. At the end of the day, though, Hana won me over with her unending faith in you. Though I do occasionally ask my actual fiancé for snarky Drake suggestions, so I guess there's your real-life answer.

Olivia: Hana! She's incredibly talented and infinitely supportive - what's not to like? I think that with Hana by her side, the MC can do just about anything. With that said, no matter who you fell for in Book 2, you're in for an exciting journey.

Have anything to say to the readers before Book 3 comes out?

Jennifer: It's been such a pleasure writing for The Royal Romance, and I think the story's taken some unexpected turns that have surprised even us. We're so thrilled that people are having fun playing it, and we hope you enjoy what happens next!

Kara: Thank you so much for taking a chance on this story! When we started writing it, we had no idea that so many people would fall as in love with it as we have! Our readers are the reason that we get to keep writing and telling these stories that we care so much about, so thank you to every single person out there! You're the whole reason that The Royal Romance even exists, and I can never say how grateful I am that I get to spend my days and nights writing for Drake, Hana, Maxwell, Bertrand, Penelope, Kiara, Olivia, Madeleine, and of course our King.

Meagan: One of the greatest joys of writing The Royal Romance is checking out the Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, etc. on chapter release day to see the fans' responses. It's kind of an indescribable feeling to see characters you care so much about resonate with people. So thank you all for being a part of the story, and I can't wait to see what you all think of The Royal Romance Book 3!

Olivia: This book has been a blast to work on, so I hope you all have as much fun playing it as we've had writing it. Book 3 has plenty of twists, thrills, and (of course) romance in store. We'll see you all in Cordonia!

Jeffrey: Blessed be those who don the fanciest of hats.

Well, you heard it here first: The Royal Romance: Book 3 launches next Friday!

In other news, Perfect Match and High School Story: Book 3 will also be launching on Wednesday. To make sure Bloodbound is the best story it can be, the book has been delayed, and will be launching around April. In the meantime, we've got some fun sneak peeks planned -- be on the lookout for that!
