About ROYALLY NOT READY:

 

So there I was selling bikinis out of my truck in South Beach Miami, getting ready to kick off a wet t-shirt contest when the world’s biggest grouch approached me - Keller Fitzwilliam.

The man had the sultriest British accent I've ever heard. And he looked like he just walked off a Viking boat and into a suit tailored specifically for his impressively muscular frame. Only problem is, he had the warmth of an ice pick and he kept telling me he was here to take me back to his home country.

Of course, I didn't follow him. I might be up for a good time, but I'm also educated enough to know leaving with a stranger isn't smart. Well, that's until he mentioned my mom's name. My mom who passed away several years ago.

So after some serious fact-checking, my bikini-clad bum went with him to a sub-arctic country I had never heard of just north of the British Isles, where I found out my grandpa was the king of said freezing country, and I was the one and only heir.

Desperate to learn more about my mom, I decided to give this princess thing a chance.

Good idea, right? Wrong.

Because Mr. Ice Pick was put to the task of training me and he’s not just cold as ice, he’s pompous, aggravating, and possessive. And did I mention we have to share a bathroom in a tiny castle?

We are oil and water every single day and even though he’s training me to be queen, I have this simmering desire to kneel before him.

***** AUDIOBOOK REVIEW *****

I loved the premise of Royally Not Ready, it gave off a Princess Diaries vibe meets something super naughty and hawt!! Lilly Campbell was the last woman that should be a long-lost princess. She was loud, a serious free spirit in Miami hosing people down in wet T-shirt contests, and a bit classless… sorry Lilly. Keller’s job is to train her and he has his work cut out for him. Lilly learns that she has grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even cousins she knew nothing about. I really wanted a bit more of the relationship building between her new-found family and with Keller. I was shocked that I didn’t feel this huge connection between Keller and Lilly besides their sexual tension.

I think this is the first Meghan Quinn book that I have ever not rated 5-stars. I’m not sure what was so different but Royally Not Ready didn’t hit the mark for me. It was slightly a bit long-winded and I expected way more laughs. Don’t get me wrong, it is witty and entertaining but it just didn’t humor me like usual. I don’t know, Royally Not Ready was not my favorite from Quinn. However, I will never give up on her. I’ll be waiting on her next book and eager for it just like always. The narrators, Emma Wilder and John Hartley did a great job bringing their characters to life. Wilder played Lilly great. She was fun and upbeat and still brought out the emotion when it was called for. Hartley was an amazing Keller. I definitely enjoyed the accent, and it fit. Hartley’s voice and tone just really fit Keller’s no-nonsense way.

I received a complimentary copy of this audio book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

 


Emma Wilder and John Hartley narrate ROYALLY NOT READY in duet, and their performances are perfection! 

Grab your earbuds and dive into this aural sensation today!

TITLE: NEVER LOOK BACK

RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 29TH, 2022

Synopsis

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes an enemies-to-lovers, close-proximity, second-chance romance…

 

Logan Lawson won me in a bet.

The second I saw him sitting at the illegal card table, I knew I was in trouble.

Years ago, he sealed my fate and condemned me to a life I didn’t want to lead.

Yet he’s filled with untamed fury and thirsting for vengeance against the husband I hate.

 

Aster Costa is everything I never should have wanted.

The second she showed with her pompous, prick of a husband, I should have gotten up and walked.

But there’s no looking away from the woman who wrecked me.

Worse, I can’t stop myself from plotting to get her back.

 

I want nothing more than to be free of my husband.

I’m afraid Logan Lawson is the only one who can make that happen.

He might hate me for our past, but now it’s me on my knees begging for help.

 

Finding each other in the middle of it wasn’t supposed to be part of the bargain.

But once Logan touches me, I’m gone.

A torch is rekindled. A fire is lit.

Aster Costa has always been mine.

And this time, no matter the cost, I won’t give her back…
