UPDATE IT! New Edited Version available!!
Rory is a simple girl in a simple world. It wouldn’t take much to make her happy, but that’s a goal she gave up on long ago. Now her only goal is to simply, survive. Rory used to count down the days until she could leave, but now with a younger brother in tow, it would be hard she could never leave him. Rory is trapped in the Trailer Park like a princess in her tower, with her mother playing the big bad drunken fire breathing dragon. The dream of her knight coming to save her faded away about the same time her goals changed. Feeling useless and angry Rory starts her new school and gets trampled by none other than Monroe Falls Golden Boy Tobias West. She finds herself seeing him as the knight she dreamed of, though she believes it to be just that, a dream. Tobias (Toby) is Mr. Popular/ Mr. Perfect/ Mr. Money in bank. He is too high on the social ladder to step down to her level. Or was he?
Toby was smitten with Rory. Toby’s ex, Ashley refuses to lose out to trailer park trash, and Rory finds herself the fuel to Ashley’s new found hate. On top of Monroe Falls High School drama, Rory still has to deal with her drunken mother and needy brother. She doesn’t have time for childish games. Reality hits Rory hard when her mother brings home a ticking time bomb for a bed mate and the need for that shiny knight becomes real.
Rome appears like she conjured him up out of thin air with magical powers, and instantly becomes her best friend. He seems to always be around when she needs someone to talk to and seems to always know just how to fix it. (Did I mention he is drop dead beautiful?) Two knights in shining armor? Nope!! That doesn’t happen, not in fairy tales, and definitely not in real life. Rory finds herself realizing there is a thin line between relationships and friendships lines that are starting to blur. Toby is getting ready to leave for college, Ashley’s nonstop meanness, and Rome showing up can Rory handle the pressure?
Her old friend reality takes another whack at her, causing her dread and despair to take over. Rory is questioning herself and its wrecking havoc on the strong girl she’s always considered herself to be. Has her poor choices doomed her to life in the trailer park or will she be able to exceed even her own expectations? Will she ever realize she is truly a princess worthy of getting her prince? Or will she simply survive? How does Rory’s story end?
This book is suited best for readers over the age of 17 due to sexual content and some language. As well as a few different types of abuse that is rarely talked about.

"I love you not forever but whenever! I love you whenever the wind blows, the rain pours, the sun shines, the stars twinkle. I love you whenever we are happy, or sad, if we are angry or content. I love you whenever I breathe. I will love you whenever it’s our time to go. I will always be yours and we will always be ours. I love you whenever anything happens, anywhere. I love you just that hard." -Rory

I live in Mississippi better known as “THE SIP”,were I was born and raised, except for a short time I spent wondering the beaches of Destin Florida. I have two wild and weird (I’m told they take after me) kids, Dominick & Oliviana, who are the light in my life and married to a very patient and loving man named Rob. I work a full time job Monday – Friday in collections (No I didn't call you). I am half Mexican and half American in other words I AM BROWN! =] I enjoy singing extremely loud thou I can’t really, dancing around for hours which I do often, and watching my kids just be kids. I enjoy old music and great books. I am eclectic, and I’m pretty much always happy. I believe we should all have fun sometimes and then when we do something stupid, WE SHOULD WRITE ABOUT IT! If I could be anything when I grow up (yes when I grow up because I currently refuse to) I would want to be a full time superhero. Wear awesome boots, have long full flowing hair, wear my panties on the outside of my clothes (and have it be ok), ride on a magical horse with wings, and save the world. Who wouldn’t want to do that? Social Links
"I received a complementary
unedited copy of Trailer Park Princess.
Please note that I did not take grammar/spelling into consideration when
reading and review this book."
I feel so honored when a new
author asks me to review their work. I
love to see how an author's writing grows and matures as they continue on their
writing adventure. It takes someone with
some pretty big cojones to put their hard work and talent out there for everyone
to judge and pick apart, so my hat is off to Author Delia Steele for jumping
into this with guns blazing. She has
talent, ambition and a wonderful attitude and personality to take on the
publishing world.
Now for the good stuff.
Rory is from the other side of
the tracks. Most would consider her
trailer trash. She live in a trailer
park with her alcoholic mother and little brother, who she cares for as a
mother would. Rory doesn’t live the
typical teen life, but that doesn’t stop her from dreaming that one day her prince
will come and rescue this “Trailer Park Princess”.
However when Rory meets Tobias (Toby) she believes him to be her prince charming. Toby promises to take her away from all the sorrow and ugliness in her life, like that of Toby’s ex-girlfriend Ashley who mercilessly humiliates Rory.
But wait life has other plans for
Rory, and Toby may not be as charming as she believes him to be.
As fate would have it Rory is
rescued by a dark knight (ok tan). Rome
is from a few trailers down and comes to Rory’s rescue in a time she most desperately
needs him. With both being from the same
world Rory and Rome form an unbreakable friendship, one that is sure to last a
life time.
Now with both Rome and Toby in
the picture things begin to quickly change and Rory finds herself in quite a predicament. Who does she choose or does she even have to
make that choice??? (This is where you have to read the book to get all the
juicy details)
I absolutely loved Rory’s
story. She is strong, intelligent, hardworking and can kick some serious butt. I found her easy to relate to
and her story is one that is believable and very true in some circumstances. In addition to Rory she has a one of a kind best friend to help support her throughout a very trying time. Rory may not be rich but she
is rich in life. Her best friend Amandolette
(Mando) has got to be one of the best characters I have ever met in a
book. Mando means business when it comes
to her BFF so watch out because this girl will take your head off and do it
with style. Mando was absolutely hilarious
and I can really see the author’s personality come out in her. We meet many other character throughout Rory's story. Some may be enemies and some may surprise you when they turn out to be friends. Goodness knows I love a plot twist that could lead to another book.
Author Delia Steele did a
remarkable job at tying up the story and giving the reader their HEA we all search for in a good book.
I hope to read more from Delia Steele and look forward to seeing her
expand her growing talent as an author.
Some of my favorite Mando quotes –
“Aintcha ugly ass got knocked the fuck out enough this year, you frumpy
looking, douche discharge oompa loompa twat snot?”
“Ha! Rory I see your coochie and there is a head in it.”
“Rory my God, the boy is a genius.
I am going to refer to him as Captain Manmeat from now on”
Okay I never said she was a proper
lady but boy is she funny and fiercely protective of her friends. As far as I'm concerned Mando is golden in
my book. Rory loves her friend like a
sister and will do whatever she needs to be there for her. Friendship like this is hard to find and I
was happy to see it expressed so well in Trailer Park Princess.
