Fiona West

This final novel-length installment in the Borderline Chronicles follows Princess Rhodie (or Dr. Broward as she's known around the lab) and her brother's best friend, Arron James, to the southern edge of the continent. Can a little vacation magic bring these two together--and keep them there?

The Semi-Royal

Janna Niemi

Rhodie and Arron James travel to the unveiled for her research. They fall in love, they fight. They have to figure themselves first, to be able to function well together. Both have some deep unresolved issues that are not easy to face. 

This is a lovely book like all of the books in the borderline chronicles. At first, I wasn't sure if I would like this book as much as I've liked the previous books, but when Arron and Rhodie get into the unveiled things turn more interesting. I also really like that this book includes some serious, real-life issues in it, like eating disorders and miscarriage. Even the royal life isn't perfect. The way these issues are discussed in the book makes you really think them through and I that makes the book a lot better. 
The start is a little slow for me, but as soon as you get really into the book it is so, so good. Once again, Fiona West manages to make me lost in a fantasy world of princesses and handsome soldiers.
