TCP_RELEASE BLITZ

The Controversial Princess by Jodi Ellen Malpas 
Publication Date: May 22nd, 2018 
Genre: Contemporary Romance

TCP Final Cover

Her father is The King of England.
She is The Controversial Princess.
Regarded as down to earth by the press and rebellious by The King, Princess Adeline refuses to bow to the royal expectations her title carries. She knows better than anyone that the united front of the royal family is nothing but smoke and mirrors – lies and secrets masked by power and privilege. She wants no part of it, and she will never surrender to The King’s demand to marry a man she does not love. But despite Adeline’s determination to retain her free will, she remains deeply unfulfilled, feeling caged and suffocated.
That is until she meets Josh Jameson. Drawn in by his confidence, Adeline is soon captivated by the scandalously sexy American actor. His ability to penetrate her defences overwhelms her – his touch is pure fire, and his allure overpowering. Nothing has ever made her feel so alive in a world where she’s otherwise slowly drowning. However, while Josh may be Hollywood royalty, he’s not actual royalty, and Adeline knows The King and his advisors will do everything in their power to keep them apart.
But Josh Jameson becomes the princess’s ultimate vice.
And although she bows to no one, she bows to him.

Meet Jodi:
Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote her debut series, The This Man Trilogy, in secret, worried about what people might think if they knew what her imagination was capable of. She was shocked herself. But she finally found the courage to unleash her creative streak and self-published THIS MAN – the first book of the This Man Trilogy – in October 2012. She took a chance on the story with a hero who soon became one of modern day fictions most prolific alpha male characters. Jesse Ward – also affectionately known as The Lord of The Manor, sparked incredible reactions from women across the globe and catapulted Jodi into the world of women’s fiction.
Jodi went on to self-publish the second book in the trilogy, Beneath This Man in Jan 2013, just before Grand Central Publishing, part of the Hachette Book Group, picked up the popular trilogy and the unknown Jodi. The third book of the trilogy, This Man Confessed, took Jodi to the top of the bestsellers lists, earning her the proud title of #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. This Man has since been voted one of the top romance novels of all time.
With so much love, enthusiasm and a thirst for her words from her readers, Jodi suddenly wasn’t afraid of her imagination anymore. She went on to write The One Night Trilogy with the delectable and mysterious Miller Hart, and stole the hearts of her readers once again. Her first stand-alone novel, THE PROTECTOR, released in September 2016 and has since been nominated for a Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award. Jodi’s next stand-alone novel. THE FORBIDDEN, is set for release in August 2017.
All seven of her published novels have hit the New York Times best sellers list – as well as the Sunday Times list and various international best seller lists. Her work is now published in over 24 languages across the world.
Jodi was born and raised in the Midlands town of Northampton, England, where she lives with her two boys and a beagle. She is a self-professed daydreamer, a mojito addict, is famous for her obsession with Converse, and has a terrible weak spot for Alpha Males. Writing powerful love stories and creating addictive characters has become her passion – a passion she now shares with her devoted readers

Battle of Wills between Claringdon Palace and Kellington Palace

description

A scintillating journey that scales the high & mighty walls of the castles and palaces, diving in deep to peep into the lives of Kings & Queens, Heirs & Heiresses. Their shams of marriages, forced alliances & Crown allegiances, with statutory Ostrich-ian, burying head in the sand and not reading the writing on the thick stone walls!!! If only these walls could talk, Oh the stories we would have๐Ÿ˜ฎ

“No one can challenge the Monarchy when it comes to their public image . The smokescreen is too thick to penetrate.”
My old man is a stickler for tradition, values, and rules. Antiquated rules, and frankly, unreasonable rules. The modern age apparently bypasses kings and queens.
 


description

Even as the modernities are creeping forward and trying to push the boundaries of crusty outdated traditions, egos clash, heated words are exchanged, heads roll. The atmosphere becomes stuffy. Which leads me to believe that the fairytales we grew up on, where the Princess gets her HEA with her Prince, maybe the biggest sham of a Love Story ever to be propagated. What happens when the Princess doesn't like the Prince? Does she get to choose differently ? What if the Dragon was protecting her from the Prince? The entire Royalty is hiding behind the Smoke & Mirrors of projected Unity, merely to strengthen the Crown. What a crock, since we've forever associated Prince & Princesses with true love !
Our family’s first marriage is to the throne, not our spouse, and rarely our heart. Happiness is only an illusion. 
While behind this dark veil hides common problems. Homosexuality, Blue Blood Snobbery, Class divide, Debauchery, Deceptions, Manipulations and Arm Twisting . All this is a BIG FRAUD, to keep the fairytale alive. 
They are a bunch of frauds. The whole bloody family is an institution of frauds. 
Just to reach out within the family you have to go through the stiff as board protocol !!
It’s utterly ridiculous for my mother’s private secretary to call my private secretary. Why can’t my mother simply call me? 
Jodi has managed to outshine even her previous books in the sense that though the base of the story is still True Love, it's forbidden and Tabboo, which has been written with such honesty and finality, it just shows her growth as a writer. She's breaking boundaries and her bravery is gaining strength. She is NOT a one series wonder which is rampant in Erotica. She's picking up new themes and topics and redefining Forbidden trope with her mighty pen. The BEST thing I loved was, the realistic mood she created. It's claustrophobic! I could feel the thick air choking me, wanted to shake the living dead Royalty by the shoulders, to open their eyes. But some things are set in stone and the frustration Jodi manages to generate in the readers is a testament to how true and alive her writing is. 
She creates a Royal family “His Royal Highness King Alfred of England.”
Prince John Lockhart, is the saint of the King’s three offspring. 
The arse-licker. The Heir Apparent, and the perfect prince.
Then is Prince Edward Lockhart. A party animal and soldier in the Royal Army
Then there's the Rogue Princess Adeline Catharine Luisa Lockhart. Rumour has it that she's the UNRULIEST ROYAL that's ever lived. Beautiful, sexy, flirtatious and fun loving woman who's feeling stifled in the stuffy Royal family. She finds her sneaky ways to have fun though. Damon keeps guard over her and Felix fixes and cleans up her messes, which are many.
Her life mate already chosen, she's been assigned her usual Princess-ish tasks of attending Charity Functions, answer correspondence, keep up appearances, till she marries the suitably provided Blue Blooded Match and goes to produce offsprings. All this while killing her heart, her dreams her passions. I say I'd never trade places with a Princess if this is their everyday existence !!!

description

A scene so touched me early on in the story. Adeline does a walkabout to meet the supporters lined up to meet her and she is talking to a young girl of 6 . They have a barricade separating them. The picture Jodi draws, as to who is behind the bars and who's free brought tears to my eyes. Freedom is just an illusion and the most expensive commodity in the Royal Houses !! 
So, Adeline meets Josh Jameson, ruggedly handsome & dangerously sexy Hollywood actor & Oscar winner, and it's instant sparks! She goes about her with her usual agenda of strictly fun, no strings attached, but his touch stirs awake dormant emotions in her. He somehow crashes through her uppity attitude and starchy demeanour and touches her heart !
He makes me feel good about me. He knows me without even really knowing me. He sees me. Not the painted princess. He sees me. The woman. The desire. The need to have a man tell me that this is how it’s going to be 
Omg!! What has Jodi gone and done........or made Adeline and Josh done!! Their coupling is doomed from the first kiss. Their "relationship" already has a deadline before it has even taken faulty steps. The clouds of despondency and disconsolateness are threatening to cloak them and I was so resentful of the whole situation.
They weren't supposed to meet, kiss, fall in love. YET THEY DO !!

description

The sexual chemistry is off the Royal charts! Though their clandestine rendezvous, mere moments stolen to be together, require elaborate planning, But those stolen moments are steamy and flaming hot.
He skates his palms onto my arse and helps me forward until my entrance is lined perfectly with his mouth. “Your throne awaits, Your Highness.” ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
I could be the Princess just to sit on JoshThrone ! Holy Smokes !! Or as the British would say Goodness gracious Me ! and he's a kinky bastard too..... I need a fan, a pink hanky and a crown !!
I'm so bummed, what's gonna happen to them, how can they fight against the Monarchy, the press, the political storm, cause it's going to be an International Incident of the Titanic proportions!!!! 
AND. THE. END.......the MoFo End!! The hopelessness, the dejection, the setback was too much for me. I felt like I climbed the Everest and found out it wasn't! There's a whole mountain range to climb MORE to get to the Everest!!
I close my eyes and work hard on bringing myself back down to earth after my short time floating on clouds. You’re a princess first, Adeline. A woman second. Heart be damned. 
I need the second book now Jodi, please, please, please find a way for them to be together !! I beg you...i can't take their heartache and anguish . I'm shaking my head No..No...No..No. 
What a breathtaking build up of words and emotions, culminating in a climax so outrageous and melodramatic, it left me aghast. So build a tunnel, or cannon the walls, whatever it takes to get them together Jodi cause my heart is gasping it's last breaths in the Garden Maze !!
