I did not expect to fall under the charm of His Royal Hottness, but I did. I think the title made me expect a lightweight romp. It’s much more. This is an in depth look at what a royal family must deal with. I was enchanted. Kian is great. From the first chapter, I didn’t want to like him. The blurb made him sound like a jerk, and the first chapter confirmed it. Then his brother is kidnapped and Kian has to face the possibility that he could one day be King. And then…the crown chasers descend! At one party hosted by the King, his father, he is rescued dramatically by a pretty waitress, Savannah.

Unlike Kian, who I wanted to dislike for being an unapologetic manwhore, I liked Savvy immediately. She’s smart, and smart mouthed…she’s educated, funny and independent. She’s everything a potential partner in a royal family should not be. No ones going to tell this girl how to live, how to behave! Loved her!

Alas, things don’t go smoothly for Kian and Savvy. They both have issues. Kian has the whole country to worry about while his brother is missing and Savvy? Well, Savvy just wants someone who puts her feelings first. That’s a tall,order when you’re dating a Prince! I wanted these two to have a chance. Their chemistry is off the charts! The sex is hot but not cringe worthy.

This is such a good story, making me anxious for the second book, Royal Treatment, that will be available on December 5th. I think you should pick up your copy now and…

Enjoy!

Prince Kian is being forced to take on more duties when his twin brother is abducted as a way to relieve some of his tension, he meets Savvy. The two start out having a benefits only relationship, but that quickly changes when they both develop stronger feelings for one another.
I thought this book was wonderfully written. I loved the steamy scenes between these two and I can't wait to find out what happens to his brother in the upcoming sequel. Great read.

I enjoyed this book and hope there is a lot more to come. It ended with a lot of possibilities for future books.
Kian, a twin, and second in line for the thrown is a total womanizer. He takes full advantage of his title as Prince of Wildemar. Woman know him as His Royal Hotness. Definitely a panty dropper.
All his partying ways change the minute his twin, the heir of Wildemar, Prince Garrett goes missing.
Suddenly everything comes to a halt. His Royal Hotness is not acting Crown Prince. While attending a royal function Kian meets Savvy. Something about her is refreshing and he sees her in a way he never has seen a woman before. She’s not a nameless face to pass time. She’s someone who holds his interest and keeps him on his toes.
While desperately trying to find his twin, Kian is also trying really hard to win over Savvy. He didn’t realize until the moment he met her that she’s someone he needs in his life.
Things start out rocky and have a nice twist. But I love the HEA.

I really enjoyed this book. His Royal Hotness has always had the easy life. Yes he is a royal but lucky for him and the rest of the country he was the second born twin which makes his brother the future king and him the spare. He leads a fast life with lots of parties and lots of women just like he likes it. Then tragedy hits and his brother is kidnapped.

Now Prince Kian has to figure out how to be him while being thrust into the role of the new future King in case his brother doesn't come back. That is hard enough but then he meets a waitress/bartender who does something to him that he never expected. Now let the chaos begin.

Kian and Savvy really go well together and I love to see how Kian grows and changes and how he really has a good heart especially when it comes to his family. This was a fun read and left me thinking that there may be more.

His royal hotness gets snagged up off his yacht and forced home by his security details just as he's about to get the blow job of his life...okay, one of many. He's the second born twin, therefore his older brother Garrett is next inline for the throne and Garretts been kidnapped. This places Kian in the Prince position and he's not happy. Not happy playing Prince and the duties and worried about his brother. Not happy having security watching his every move and following a schedule. He's not happy.

One night at a gala he did not want to attend he's cornered by a Dame dragging her eligible daughter along to corner him at the bar when one of the servers comes to offer drinks and dumps the tray on Kian. Attempting to dry him off, she helps him not only avoid the mother/daughter duo but leave the room and take him out for some air and a much needed drink. Here Kian meets Savvy and he's smitten. She leaves, he knows nothing about her but her first name, so sends his security men off to find her and get her info. He turns up at her house, with his security in toe. Meanwhile his brother is still not found, it's been three months. Savvy and Kian start to spend more time together and she doesn't hop right into bed with him. I liked that about her and actually I liked both characters and loved Niall one of the bodyguards.

One day at the palace, Kian goes into Garrett's room, hoping to somehow find him there. He picks up a book and happens to find a string of photo booth photos inside and who is that woman kissing his brother? None other than Savvy. Kian is bubbling over angry and doesn't understand what and how, even though we know it's been 5 years. So he seeks her out, demanding an explanation and she gives him one. One which he understands. That all he did was hide her, because she was "common" and not royalty and it ended badly and he moved on with someone more suitable for the role of a Crown Prince. That part Kian understood and actually pieced that together on his own. Meanwhile he's falling deeper with Savvy and she with him. And still beholden to his father and his duties and the struggle to find his brother.

Kian gets fed up with dear old dad referring to his brother as the Crowned Prince or anything else but his name. And he's fed up it's taken so long to find him. He blows a nutty and the security team for the country finally has two locations they're going to raid. Garrett is extricated and hospitalized due to his injuries. His recovery is slow at first obviously, his father doesn't think Garrett is fit for the role and Kian makes it clear he's not either. Plus he loves Savvy and he's got plans.

Of course in this great little love story there's a bump in the road that sends Savvy running, Kian angry and Garrett is all ears. No one is telling him where she's run off too, but the Prince has intel at his disposal. And when he finds his girl..... you never know.

Gad, read this book! I loved it. Was a quick and easy read and I was a little afraid I wouldn't like Kian because of the opening scene but he turned out to be a great guy. I loved Savvy too. So sassy and gave it right back to Kian. They were a great match.
Great book Tracy, loved it!

Most girls dream of meeting and falling in love with a prince and being whisked away to a castle. Some girls just want to live their lives. In Royal Pain by Tracy Wolff we get the story of Savannah Beslin, your average girl, and Prince Kian of Wildemar, His Royal Hotness. Let the sparks fly!

Kian is the spare prince and enjoys the perks that entails, without any of the hassle. And he is more than okay with this. He loves his brother and knows he is the man for the job. That is until his brother is kidnapped and everything changes.

Savannah, Savvy, has been hurt before and is determined to never let it happen again. However, after an interesting encounter, Savvy and Kian find themselves with an intense attraction. I found Kian interesting. He was arrogant and confident, but could also be caring and sweet. He is known for his playboy ways, but had his own insecurities as well. Savvy was smart, feisty and undeterred that he was royalty. But was also holding a secret that could change everything.

Being hurt once before, Savvy was determined to stay away from Kian, but he had other plans. He was determined in his pursuit of her. But with so many secrets and responsibilities surrounding them, could they find a way to be together?

This was a good story. Romantic, emotional and with a touch of angst, it was also funny and sexy. There was an unexpected twist as well. Looking forward to more from this couple and maybe Garrett as well.

Unfortunately, this was a DNF at 48% for me. There was just too much going on that I kind of hated to let me get through the whole book. Kian is the 'spare' to the heir of Wildemar. When his brother disappears, he is forced to drop his party boy ways and start acting in his brother's place. Kian is flirty, hates politics, and hot. He meets Savvy during an event at the castle where she was working as a waitress.

They apparently have this insta-love connection that I just didn't see. Kian doesn't know anything about her, and as he tries to find where she lives so he can talk to her again, he can't stop thinking about her. I'm not trying to say that their first meeting is forgettable, but it doesn't warrant the emotional connection that was established in my opinion.

The other thing that really bothered me was just how twisty the plot was. It seemed like every chapter there was some new groundbreaking plot twist that changed everything. From who Savvy is to the circumstances surrounding Kian's brother's disappearance to even just Kian's interactions with others. The way Kian's body guards watched Kian at Savvy's house was way too much like babysitting when they could have just looked through her place and kept surveillance.

Overall, I was just not very impressed and there was too much going on that didn't seem believable to me to keep me interested.

Would love to read something by this author again! The story was well thought out and the characters were very likable!

Tracy Wolff is one if my favourite authors and I just love her books. Each one has fantastic characters in them with even fantastic story's. Each one is a must read for me and I do love reading them in order as I think you miss out of the great things that go on in each book. This is another that Tracy Wolff has knocked out the park, was just a real pleasure to read and I just had to read in one sitting as I didn't want to miss a thing. Would totally recommend

Kian is a prince who gets to enjoy all the spoils of being royal without the responsibility until his brother, the heir, is kidnapped. He meets Savvy, an American, with a past that involves Kian's family. Lots of action looking for the kidnapped Prince and unexpected romance between Savvy and Kian. Enjoyable romance!

Holy Hotness! Prince, check. Hot, check. Good with his ...., check. Just wants to be himself.... sigh.
We meet Kian in the worst situation, his twin the Crown Prince had been kidnapped and he's now having to fill in. We meet Savvy when she dumps drinks on him. <Pause I have to say it took me a couple of chapters to stop hearing Savvy in Captain Jack Sparrows voice, just saying> Anyway, she's not at all what he's used to as she doesn't take his crap. They are hot together from the start, but can they make it with the turmoil going on and get through without burning to ashes.

I received this book courtesy of Netgalley. It started off okay for me. But honestly, Prince Kian kind of got on my nerves with his spoiled and petulant attitude. Then there was the missing twin and so many suspects. And the way the family acted in general just didn't work for me. I personally felt the book dragged on after a while. So I DNF'ed.

I couldn’t get enough of Royal Pain when I was reading it. With memorable characters, a fast paced plot and a romance that made me weak in the knees, this book is definitely going on my keeper shelf. I sat down to read Royal Pain after my kids went to bed for the night and I ended up finishing it 2 hours later. I was that engrossed in it. I believe that BK did try to talk to me a few times and I was like “Mmmmhmmm” and kept on reading.

Prince Kian took my breath away. From the prologue, where he was on the yacht having a 3some with models to him meeting Savvy to the anguish of not knowing where his twin was, I loved it. At first, he totally came across as a rotten royal and a manwhore. But when Garrett was kidnapped, all of that stopped and he stepped up to be Crown Prince of Wildemar, a fictional country that is on the Mediterranean Sea. I loved seeing the progression of his character. Kian when from being a spoiled man-child to someone who could rule, if he had to. I also loved reading his pursuit of Savvy too. He was hell-bent on having her until he found something in Garrett’s possessions that almost made him change his mind. For the sake of the book, I was glad that he didn’t. His grief over Garrett’s disappearance was deep and in a way, I think he blamed himself for not being there.

Savvy was an enigma. She wanted Kian as much as he wanted her but she kept holding back. I couldn’t figure out why and honestly, thought that maybe she had a hand in Garrett’s disappearance. But when it was revealed what it was, I kinda breathed a sigh of relief. She was there for Kian during everything. I also got why she did what she did with Kian. I totally did and I would have done the same thing.

The attraction between Savvy and Kian was immediate from that moment where she spilled champagne on him. It just built up until it exploded in one very hot, very memorable sex scene that made me go “Wow“. It was that explosive and you know what, every sex scene after that had the same intensity. I was literally on “Whoa” mode every time they had sex because their sex was that good.

I liked that not every plotline was resolved in this book and I am really hoping that Garrett’s romance is book 2. Of course, there is an HEA. I was kind of worried that there wasn’t going to be one and I did a huge sigh of relief when feelings were discussed and everyone was happy.

I didn't finish this book. Unfortunately it didn't catch my attention enough for me to discover what happened to the characters. A shame, because the premise of the book sounded interesting.

Royal Pain by Tracy Wolff is Book 1 of is Royal Hotness Series.

Danger, Will Robinson...danger!!!!

Royal Pain starts out in such a way that normally would have had me putting it down in disgust and not giving it a second glance. The first chapter will honestly have you confused and thinking you picked up the wrong book and maybe even have you DNF it due to what is contained therein. I know it did me; it started out way differently than what the book description depicted. Thankfully, I’m one of those stubborn readers who hates to DNF and tends to push on so I was able to find out soon enough that things really do switch up after that first part. However, while there was quite a shift in Kian’s personality, thinking, approach, etc., I will say that the first chapter just eclipsed it all for me and I was still reeling with a residual yuck and ick factor that coated it all. For me, there was no coming back from that set-up. It’s sad to be honest because this story had such potential and had it started another way to define Kian’s shallow, superficial self it would have totally hit the mark for me. As it stands, the whole of the read was overshadowed by that intro and for that it becomes a 3 “meh” middle of the road stars read instead of the 5 HEA stars it could have been.

I started this book expecting to find some cliche royal drama. And saying that I was surprised halfway into the book would be the understatement of the century. I was hit with this vigorous wave of feels. And then melted into a puddle of goo. What I expected would be a cute plot with like, characters I'll forget the minute I finish the book, turned out to be a book that hit me so hard with characters that'll forever have a special place in my heart. Kian surprised me. I was not expecting such a vast character transformation. Yes, I'd like to believe that Savvy brought out the best in him. And it was so beautiful to see the arrogant spare prince turn into this responsible and vulnerable man. I cannot for the life of me forget those scenes in which he literally went insane over his brother's kidnapping. His love for his twin brother, despite everything they disagree on, hit me hard. I loved his relationship with his 'security detail'. And how they got used to spending the night in the van, and then that first day at Savvy's when they were sitting outside and Kian promised he'll stay close to the windows. That was hilarious. Kian and Savvy's relationship was a fairytale in its own way. It was my first time reading about modern royalty, and it definitely won't be my last.

Royal Pain

kian is the second in line crown prince of his country. Hes the party playboy who's never had any responsibility to deal with because his brother Garrett always took all responsibility.

Savannah is a waitess/hostess and barmaid with a snarky firey attitude along with her gorgeous looks and intelligence.

This book begins with Kian being beckoned home because his brother was kidnapped and now Kian needs to stand up and be the crown prince in his brothers absence. Kian and Savvy meet at a gala Savvy literally dumps a tray on him to save him from the attention he wants to avoid. Kian instantly is attracted to the standoffish brash Savvy. They slowly begin a relationship with Savvy who has secrets of her own and Kian who is being thrust into a world hes avoided all his life. Savvy has many reservations over Kian and his crown status. Slowly they fall in love. But with everything going on will Savvy and Kian be able to be withstand a relationship with everything going on in both their worlds? Will Savvy truly ever believe that she will be number one to somebody? Will Garret be found? Will they live happily ever after?

Now I really enjoyed this book but I give it 4 stars I loved the characters I loved the interaction and I loved the plot and story the only reason it loses one star is because I feel the ending was rushed and that their are to many loose ends. I will look into other books in this series though :D

When I started reading Royal Pain, I thought it would be another one of those prince meets girl; girl resists but in the end prince gets the girl stories. What I didn’t expect was twists and a realistic storyline. Prince Kian of Wildemar may be the typical spoilt typical playboy prince, but when his older twin brother and immediate heir to the throne is kidnapped, he knows he must step up. What results is drama, hot romance, and a good story to lose yourself in for a few hours. Definitely a great read and a five star recommendation.

This was a pretty decent book. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next one.

The only issue I had with it, though, was the ending. Savvy was so strong throughout the whole book but, then she became a little too whiny for me.
Kian. Just wow. His Royal Hotness, indeed.
