Since Bridget comes from royalty, there are always different expectations that she needs to live up to and rules to follow. While living in the United States, she was able to live life a little more without all of rules and expectations. As her and Rhys start to have feelings for one another she starts to believe they may even be able to have a relationship since she is the second born therefore further away from the throne than her brother. However, her brother throws a wrench in her dream when he steps down from his spot on line for the throne when he chooses love. He is going to follow the dream that Bridget was having for herself.

Now Bridget and Rhys find themselves in a forbidden romance. Rhys is not backing down from what he wants and what he wants is to be with Bridget. He is a man that never thought of settling down until he met Bridget. Their story was definitely engaging and memorable.

When I think of scones I think of royalty and tea time afternoons. It only seemed fitting that blueberry scones would go well with this book. When I was making these blueberry scones I did make a mistake. I accidentally put baking soda instead of baking powder in my scones. The result was blueberry pretzel scones. And you know what? It was a happy mistake. It opened the door to all sorts of scone possibilities I don't think I would have ever thought of had I not made that mistake. A true silver lining. The recipe I am providing you will have baking powder and not baking soda. I do promise that a pretzel scone concoction will be here in the future.

Step 4: On a floured surface, turn out the mixture and pat until have a round flattened mound. Pat until it is about 3/4 of inch thick and is about 8 inches round. Then with a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut into 8 wedges.
