Battle Royale


Palace Insiders, Book #1

by Lucy Parker


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5


Am I a huge fan of Lucy Parker??? Yes!!!

Did I love this book??? You bet!!!


Lucy Parker is back with a new series and a new pair of enemies to lovers. Sylvie made an personal enemy of Dominic when her cake exploded in his face, while he was judging it on the popular Operation Cake reality show a few years ago. Fast forward to today and they are rival cake makers with shops across the street from each other and new co-workers as Sylvie joins the illustrious Operation Cake judging panel this season! To add to the drama, at the same time a royal engagement makes them rivals as they both fight for the contract of contracts!


As I have come to expect, Parker has delivered these enemies to us on a silver platter and we reader so not have to wait long for thinks to start heating up in the kitchen! Sylvie and Dominic are both such sweethearts at their cores that their increased exposure to each other naturally opens them up to the possibilities of romance. These two were made for each other and I loved every moment of their courtship, especially when Dom cares for a sick Sylvie- swoon!


The romance is not all this book has going for it, the side characters are absolute treasures and the Operation Cake drama is a hoot!


This book was delicious and I cont recommend it or Lucy Parker’s other works enough!



Battle Royale by Lucy Parker is scheduled to release August 24th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
