Soon dubbed the Cowntess of Camembert, Tessa wants to go into hiding until after the baby is born, but royal life won't wait, and she needs to figure out how to make the best of a desperate situation and win the people over once and for all. She could do it too if it weren't for all the freshly-baked scones. With all eyes on Tessa, she's determined to be one of those fabulously fit pregnant women. He is what saves the story and offers 4 stars.After one year of marriage, Crown Prince Arthur and his lovely, albeit accident-prone wife, Princess Tessa, are preparing to bring an heir to the tiny kingdom of Avonia. A 'can't we all get along' mindset, though it pales in comparison to the hysterical moments the Prince offers. Toward the end the Princess character redeems it's self slightly by offering kumbaya moments. I have to wonder if maybe a man wrote the male POV because the style andbtone are completely different. But the female narrator is so serious that it sucks the fun out of the story. The male narrator is likely and a bit overtop crazy but it's a comedy, so it fits. At first, the Ii thought it was the narration the readers are vastly different. Meanwhile, Prince Auther is hilarious! He, too, has wacky thoughts and self reflection, but it is presented in a way that lets the audience know he realizes he knows he's acting crazy and kerp all his interactions light. Her dialogs are all about wacky (not funny), fears, and pathetic self-reflection. At first, her situations and attitudes are light and very funny, but very soon into the story, she turns into an odd duck. It reads like 2 different people wrote the POVs.

Will Arthur calm down in time to welcome the baby? Will Tessa manage to figure out how to be mother to the kingdom's next heir? And most importantly, will the happy couple still be happy when the baby arrives? Contains mature themes. With a baby on the way, Arthur's overprotective streak comes out in spades, and he finds himself attributing ill-intentions to everyone he meets, from the vagina-fixated obstetricians to the potential pedos everywhere. Prince Arthur never thought he'd find himself involved in horribly awkward conversations about the first day of his wife's last period, but that's precisely what happens after that plus sign shows up on the pregnancy test.

After one year of marriage, Crown Prince Arthur and his lovely, albeit accident-prone wife, Princess Tessa, are preparing to bring an heir to the tiny kingdom of Avonia.
