Synopsis
You have been chosen.
Those four words change Violet Spencer’s whole life, when against staggering odds, she’s selected in the “princess ballot.”
Arbon Academy is affectionately known as the school for Royals. Only the rich, powerful, or heir to a throne gain entry … except for the one scholarship student accepted every five years. It’s a worldwide lottery, and one that Violet entered without giving it any serious thought.
But the media got it wrong and Arbon Academy is much more than a simple college for future leaders.
It’s a dark world of politics, intrigue, and dangerous guys who will stop at nothing to get their own way. Despite her best efforts at remaining off the radar, Violet finds herself a pawn between two of the most powerful monarchies in the world.
Prince Rafe of the Switzerlands and Prince Alex of the Australasias are bitter enemies both on the soccer field and in the political arena. Monarchies rule the world now, and every waking breath is a competition for the princes.
Control the ball.
Control the world.
Control Violet.Whether it’s through love or hate, someone will ultimately win.

Review
The Princess Ballot was written by two of my favorite authors, so I knew I would like it. However, I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
I liked that this book was set in a dystopian world. It certainly gave the authors some leeway here. While I admit there could have been a little more details in the world-building, it was explained just enough for me to forgive some of the questions I had.
It is no surprise that this book has a very strong female main character. Tate and Jaymin write some of the best female characters around. Violet is a very likable character. There were some things in this book that seemed a little too coincidental. Some of these are plot points and are explained, but not all of them. I liked most of the side characters, and Tate and Jaymin did a great job of toying with my emotions in this one.
This book, of course, ends in a cliffhanger, with a lot of unanswered questions. I am looking forward to seeing where this goes.
