Suddenly Royal - Nichole Chase Dropped at: 56%

Reasons:

1. I couldn't care less where the story is headed.
2. I couldn't identify with, or even like, Sam.
3. I feel like I'm reading a slightly older version of Princess Diaries, with a few alterations here and there. Too few to make it stand out, however.
4. This reads completely like a YA, when I was expecting something far more mature and steamy and sexy. Or really, anything but this washed-out, plain story.
5. I only mildly liked Alex. Combined with reasons #1-4, this made for a HUGE disappointment.

I'm so sorry, Cory. I know how much you wanted us to like this. I tried, I honestly did, but no more. Sorry.
