The Bride and Her Prince

by mimi11052003

Book: , General Fiction, Romance, Humor

Finding out you’re getting married to a prince on your birthday is never that great of a surprise. Or is it?

Maria been engaged since birth, and found out from her parents on her eighteenth birthday. And she is not happy, not in the least. She’s getting married to a boy she’s known since she was six. Who disliked her for no good reason. She hasn’t seen him for two years and now she’s engaged to him! Maria’s made a promise to herself not to fall in love with Prince or his charm. Or at least she’s gonna try.

**My book is currently being edited and looked over. Please, be patient with the constant updates. :)**

I want to say thank you to EVERYONE who nominated my book or voted for The Bride and Her Prince in the 1st Annual Inkie Awards. I just got the message today that I won the Category of "Best Romance" I can't tell you guys how much it means to me. How much you guys have supported my book just blows my mind. And I'd like to give a huge shout out to everyone who inspired me to keep writing when I just wanted my book to jump off a cliff or something. You guys helped me turn my itsy bitty short story into a great joy in my life. And I thank you all very much.

Found this out of the blue--- and I loved it! this is an awesome story and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it. Some of it flows a little choppy, kind of at the beginning, but in the end everything makes sense. I think that I'm looking for something along the lines of how Maria is feeling throughout this whole ordeal. I was hoping this was her first plane ride or something. I actually read through the entire thing and I LOVED IT. Picked! if you have any questions, let me know, I'd be happy to help you out with your story!

Chapter two – Setting?? Where does she live? Obviously, her parents are rich. (Eight Prada bags, really?) Maria’s likeability factor went WAY down in this chapter. She seems like a spoiled brat. I’m going to keep reading, though.
Chapter three – “I wonder how he got my number.” She just said a few sentences earlier that she knows he has her number…
Chapter four – “There are flowers everywhere. I even see a garden in the distance.” Redundant. If she’s know the king and queen for so many years, how did she not know they were royal?? When she begins speaking about the room she’s in, she needs to walk there first. I think that your story needs a bit more action. The characters need to be physically walking, moving, etc. That way it’s not all about Maria’s thoughts. Why is the closet already full of clothing if she’s bringing eight pieces of luggage with her?! Why are there tiaras in the closet already? Is she a princess or not?
Final thoughts before I go for now. Maria needs more depth to her. Her life revolves around fashion and how hot (or not) Daniel is. She needs a hobby or something.
I’m putting this on my watch list for now and I hope to add it to my Top Picks soon but I think it needs a little work. Please let me know if you want more comments or would prefer that I just drop dead. 

Hello! I will make comments as I read. First of all, I like your pitch. It is well written.
Chapter One - I think you need to make it clear that it's modern day. I was first reading this thinking, "This isn't how they spoke in the "Golden Age" but then I realized it's modern day when you said "internet." Establish a time frame and a setting (where does she live?). Why is she engaged to a prince? Is she a princess? If she isn't, why a prince? If she is a princess, why is she so shocked to be engaged to a prince? I think this story has a lot of potential but some groundwork needs to be laid in Chapter One. :)

I'm on to Chapter Two now.

I really like this. It's interesting and funny and I LOVE Daniel. He's a genuine Prince Charming...among other things I won't mention right now. Please, please update! I would really like to read some more!

Sometimes the tenses are a bit mixed up. The story is in present tense, but sometimes you write in past tense, and I don't mean the flashbacks.

Also, Maria seems a little self-conceited sometimes. I'm not sure if she is joking or what, but she keeps saying how beaitiful and sexy etc she is.

There are some things about the story that seem a little unrealistic... For example, would Margarita really go af to boarding school and miss her best friend's marriage? And some things about the royal family also seem a bit unrealistic.

If you update and finish the story, I will go through the story chapter by chapter and give you a complete review if you want.

But I really like this and you write really well! PLEASE update!

I really like this... a lot. Even though it probably could have been written better, the story itself is pretty interesting. There's just this one thing that was bothering me.
If Maria and the pince have been engaged since they were babies, why would they have ever been allowed to date anyone other than the person they're engaged to? Even if neither the prince or Maria knew they were going to marry each other, don't you think the parents would have prohibited them from dating? It wouldn't do them any good if Maria or the prince were to fall in love with someone else, only to find out that they can't be with that person. That would only leave that person more miserable than needed.
Other than that one thing, I really enjoyed. I wish you luck with finishing it!

Wow, love the plot. A princess engaged since birth, and the twist: she doesn't like the fiance. Thats funny :) I love how down-to-earth the main character is, and she's stubborn too.
"I will not fall in love with His Royal Highness, Prince Daniel Jose Rodriguez" < I like this, it says a lot for her character. She has a great sense of humour, and I think that it's wonderful how you've used royal family (which most people use with old-fashioned storys) and made the girl very, well, nonroyal :) It definitely made me like her more.
"But from the pictures on the internet, he's not bad looking. In fact, he's pretty hot." Love this.
You're a great, chatty writer with a very captivating writing technique.
Great story,
Alanaa x x

Hi everyone! First off, I'M SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING!! It's been really hectic these last couple of months for me and my family. But now that everything is starting to calm down I hoping to start writing again. I'm a first class loser for not updating and I can only hope you forgive me. -Melinda

When i first read the summary i thought it was going to be really lame but i loved it there was so much i did see coming. you have an amazing style that is so different from a lot of stuff i have read. I cant wait to see what happens next :)
