“Be quiet and listen: He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.”

When Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow as they’re crossing a busy L.A. street, the last thing she expects is five unwanted predictions as a reward. Who gives someone the winning lotto numbers then tells them they’ve only got a week to live? And who believes in that nonsense anyway?

But when the first three predictions come true within twenty-four hours, Lilah’s disbelief turns to mild panic. She’s further horrified when she nearly runs a car off the road that belongs to Alistair Lennox, who just happens to be the illegitimate son of the British king.

While Alistair is intrigued by her preposterous story, Lilah is adamant about resisting the heat between her and the playboy prince. If she denies he’s her soulmate, then the last prediction can’t come true, right? As the days count down, they become maybe friends…and then maybe more. But between the relentless paparazzi and some disapproving royals, finding time for love isn’t easy, especially when her days may be numbered.

Red White and Royal Blue meets The Last Holiday in this delightfully quirky novel from the New York Times bestselling author of End of Story, about a woman who unexpectedly finds "fall in love with a prince" at the top of her bucket list.

This was such a fun read with an interesting premise! Imagine getting five predictions after saving a psychic's life and one of them is related to one's death 😂😶 You know what they say - no good deed goes unpunished 😂⁣
Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow while crossing the street(after meeting her at her bff's birthday party) and she gets five unwanted predictions as a reward. She doesn't believe in them at first but when she comes across her boyfriend cheating on her and she's passed over for a promotion at work, mild panic begins to set in 😶 The psychic had also mentioned the winning lottery numbers, her soulmate's name(Alistair George Arthur Lennox) and that she'd die within a week! Things take a turn when she almost crashes her car into(yep you guessed it) Alistair's while driving and she ends up meeting him too. The lottery numbers are just as predicted, so Lilah starts making a bucket list of sorts for herself(just in case) and decides to check some things off the list with the unexpected help of Alistair!⁣
This was so funny and sweet at the same time! I loved Lilah and Alistair's sarcastic banter! They get to know each other over the course of a week or more but their relationship development was well done. And while Alistair is a bit of a grumpy alpha, Lilah doesn't hold back either and she always gives as good as she gets. While Lilah has her own worries about these predictions she doesn't let it hold her back. Also, I enjoyed having no miscommunication or third act drama in this one! Alistair's mom - Helena was so hilarious too 😂 and I loved how everything was wrapped up in the end!⁣
Would definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a fun and hilarious romance read with an interesting premise!❣️✨
