Rebel princess by Lynn Stevens is the fourth book in the modern princess collection, like the rest of the collection, it is a standalone book and you don’t need to read the rest of the collection.

This story was based on a modern retelling of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the main character, Emerald, or Emmy for short, comes from a background of working hard for things in life. She has earned herself a scholarship to the prestigious Camelot University where she is majoring in dance. She also works for the school paper and this is where a lot of trouble starts. She’s sniffed out a big story, but it runs deep within the university and there are many people who are determined to keep the story quiet.

Along comes Quinn, he is an army vet who is scarred physically and emotionally from his past but Emmy doesn’t see him like that, she only sees the amazing and caring man he is. With Quinn supporting her she knows she can do what needs to be done.

This was a great story and I really enjoyed it. It wasn’t like a typical romance story and Emmy was definitely not a woman who needed saving, she was strong and independent but Quinn was the perfect compliment to her character.
