You know the story. This is a meme created by Breaking the Spine and every week we pick books we're waiting for. Here are our picks for this week.
Glass' pick
Dragged on a family trip to Europe’s ancient cities, Becca wants nothing more than to go home. Trapped with her emotionally distant father, over-eager stepmother, and a brother who only wants to hook up with European hotties, Becca is miserable. That is until she meets Nikolai, a guy as mysterious as he is handsome. And she unknowingly finds herself with a runaway prince.
Nikolai has everything a guy could ask for-he's crown prince, heir to the throne, and girls adore him. But the one thing he doesn't have...is freedom. Staging a coup, he flees his kingdom and goes undercover on his own European tour.
When Nikolai and Becca meet, it’s their differences that draw them together. Sparks fly as they share a whirlwind of adventures, all the while dodging his royal guard. But Becca's family vacation ends in a matter of days. Will Nikolai and Becca be forced to say goodbye forever, will his destiny catch up to him, or will they change history forever?

Tanja's pick
What would you do if your whole world fell apart?
Jenny Harrison made some poor choices in the past, but marrying Gabe was the best thing she’d ever done. They had the perfect marriage, until a tragic accident leaves Gabe brain dead and her world in ruins.
Devastated by grief, she decides to preserve the best of their love by conceiving his child, but Gabe’s family is adamantly opposed, even willing to chance exposing long-held family secrets to stop her. Caught in a web of twisted motives and contentious legal issues, Jenny turns to best friend and attorney, Steve Grant. Steve wants to help Jenny, but he has reservations and secrets of his own.
When something so private and simple turns public and complicated, will Jenny relent? What is Steve willing to sacrifice to help Jenny?

OdgovoriIzbrišiTanja will read it soon, we will see if she'll like it.
IzbrišiI just read Royally Lost and it was a really cute read! I haven't' heard of the second choice but it does look good!
OdgovoriIzbrišiHow do you guys get the best books?:)
IzbrišiWow, you guys couldn't have picked more different books this week! One sounds light and cute and fun, and the other sounds hugely emotional and serious, but I'm definitely interested in both:):) I like a wide variety of books on my TBR pile!
OdgovoriIzbrišiNot something unusual for two of us, Jenny.:) We are happy that we can help you with your TBR pile additions.
IzbrišiI am so jealous. Luck girl.:) I'll have to check out your review.
OdgovoriIzbrišiRoyally Lost looks really cute! I have not heard of the other one but looks like fun!
OdgovoriIzbrišiAngie Stanton reminds me a little bit of Stephanie Perkins. Thanks for stopping by.
IzbrišiI've not heard of either of these, but I do hope you both get your hands the books :)!

Thank you, Janina.
IzbrišiI like those picks! I think Just Destiny might be a story I would enjoy. Thanks for sharing your picks!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI'm curious about it too. Thank you for stopping by, Andrea.
IzbrišiRoyally Lost. I'm DYING to read that one! I love books with international travel so I'll be all over it!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI love to travel and books like this make me happy. Let's hope it will be good.
IzbrišiGlass, I wasn't a big fan of Royally Lost, unfortunately. I thought the trav elements were quite alright, but I couldn't get on board much with the narration or the romance. Still, I hope you have better luck with it than I do!
OdgovoriIzbrišiAnd Tanja, I haven't heard of your pick at all but I really like the cover! I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on it soon! :)
Really? :( Ugh... I've got Just One Year still unopened on my bookshelf because of few reviews pointing out the same thing.
IzbrišiOoh I love the look of Royally Lost, it looks really cute! Just Destiny looks like an emotional read, and I hadn't heard of it yet, so thanks for introducing me to it. :-) Great choices, ladies!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThank you, Lauren.
IzbrišiJust Destiny is new, indie release.
I have Royally Lost on my tbr. I can't wait to read it. I haven't heard of Just Destiny before, but it sounds like it will be an emotional book. I hope you both enjoy your picks!
OdgovoriIzbrišiMy WoW
Thank you, Sandra.
IzbrišiRoyally Lost sounds super interesting. And that cover is so lovely! :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiIsn't it? :) We like it too.
IzbrišiThank you for stopping by, Tirta.
I can't wait for Royally Lost Glass! I love my road trip books and this book does sound like a lot of fun! I've not heard of Just Destiny before Tanja, but I definitely think it would be the sort of book I would pick up if I saw it in the bookstore! Brilliant picks ladies!
OdgovoriIzbrišiThank you, Jasprit.
IzbrišiTanja got ARC copy of Just Destiny and I think she read it, so we will see.
Royally Lost sounds super cute, Glass!
OdgovoriIzbrišiJust Destiny sounds like such a different read for you, Tanja. It sounds like something I'd pick up, so I can't wait to see what you think.
Great picks, ladies! :)
Thank you, Rachel.
IzbrišiI love the cover and concept of Royally Lost! I have to add it to my tbr list. It kind of reminds me of the present day Prince William and his wife since she is a "commoner". It sounds like the book will go down that way.
