Goodreads Synopsis
It's not easy being royal. Sixteen-year-old Evangeline wears her crown proudly, but between her duties and her overprotective big brother, the idea of romance is just a dream. But a chance encounter in Chicago changes all that….
Sure, seventeen-year-old Tyler Evans loves playing hockey, but he's more concerned about providing for his dad and little sister. Then he meets Eva--and falls head-over-heels in love—and he has two more problems. One, she's his best friend's little sister. Two, she wears a crown.
But then Eva accidentally mistakes Tyler for a visiting prince, and for the first time, Tyler doesn't feel like a nobody. He knows he has to tell her the truth…but not yet.
His plan? To keep up the royal charade as long as it takes to convince Eva he’s the guy for her. Even if he’s lying to everyone…including himself.
Disclaimer: May cause disillusionment. Those girls looking to find their Prince Charming might consider scouting out hockey rinks.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.
Now, books 1 and 2 in this series were so good, that I had high hopes for this final book, and though I enjoyed it, I felt it was the weakest of the trilogy. In Just Pretending, we follow Princess Evangeline as she travels to Chicago to visit her big brother, Daniel. While there, she meets one of Daniel's team mates, Tyler, but she happens to confuse him with a prince, and though it's wrong, Tyler finds himself playing along, and pretending to be a prince, rather than coming clean about his families struggles as he provides for them. The chemistry between both was really sweet, and it seemed like each understood the other, but we always had the whole secret identity aspect hanging over them like a sword, so when it is revealed, there's obviously a lot of drama and angst.
I did enjoy both main characters, but, like I said, not as much as the previous couples. Ty was really sweet, and I loved how hard he fought for Eva to prove he deserved her, but still I didn't connect as much with him or Eva. Still, I think this was a perfect way to end this companion series, and I'm glad I discovered the books online.
