There have been some requests for discussion guides, so I’m slowly adding them onto this site and they will be filed in the “Reader Group Discussion Guides” category on my blog. If you are a librarian, bookseller or reader group leader and are using these guides, please let me know. Your feedback will be deeply appreciated. Thanks! ~ Susanna Carr
1. Red-Hot and Royal is about three women falling in love with royal men. However, the women aren’t traditional princess material. Do you think the “requirements” for princesses are more relaxed than when you were growing up?
2. All three romances occurred in the United States. How do you think the locations helped or hurt the budding relationships?
3. Kylee’s job is to transform royal rebel Prince Santos into Prince Charming. Yet she believes that even if Santos behaves badly, he would be forgiven because he is royal. Do you think that is true?
4. At the end of the story, who do you think transformed the most: Kylee or Santos?
5. Lauren doesn’t understand why Zain follows so many superstitions, while he thinks Lauren should accept that she can’t control everything in her world. Which character is more like you?
6. When Lauren kisses Zain, everything changes in their lives. In most fairy tales, there is power behind the kiss. Why do you think that is?
7. Shayla meets Crown Prince Rafael while pretending to be a different type of woman. Do you think she would have had the confidence to approach him as herself?
8. Shayla believes that Rafael wouldn’t have noticed her if he hadn’t thought she was a dangerous woman. Do you agree?
9. Did the men in Red-Hot and Royal fit your ideal of what a prince should be like? Do you think the “requirements” of a prince have changed?
10. Have you ever wanted to be a princess? Why or why not?
