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 chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**

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.
An ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

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.

A big Thank you to NetGalley and Random House-Loveswept for the ARC for my honest review.
I have never read a book by Tracy Wolff before-I enjoyed this book but didn't love it. I felt sort of sad for the "royal" he is sort of a bitter spare-not needed or wanted until something happens to his twin. An unlikely-sort of fast romance with a commoner. It left me hanging-as not all my questions were answered. Its a fun, easy read but I didn't feel the chemistry between the two main characters as I do in some books. May have just been the mood I was in. I rate this a 3.5-I would say try the book if you enjoy reading about royals. Enjoy

Very interesting and hot! Really liked the dynamic between Savvy and Kian. How she treats him even though he is royalty. And in turn I really liked how the story shows that Kian has so much to offer and so many ways he can surprise. And those sexy explicit scenes....wow! He is very giving! This is a story that will have you wanting to know what comes with the next page and will still give you a few surprises along the way.

I don't care how much of a feminist I am, give me a romance novel about about a hot, rich prince falling for the normal American girl and I'M IN.
In Royal Pain, Tracy Wolff has introduced a new series about royalty and the women they fall for (and have really hot sex with). It included a mystery about a missing royal brother, a secret past, and all of the hilarity associated with dating while being followed by a guard detail. The fantasy of being with a prince is good no matter how it works. BUT...
Unfortunately, the opening scene to establish Kian as a playboy totally ruined him for me, I get that he has a past but that "past" was just described in detail for an entire scene just days before he meets the love of his life. The ick factor was strong for me.

This book took me a few chapters to get into, however, once that I got there I couldn't put it down.

Holy smokes this book was HOT!
Kian is a cocky, arrogant playboy prince who is aka His Royal Hotness. Even though he is not the heir to the throne he has to step up due to a tragic situation. During this difficult time he meets an American girl name Savvy. Savvy has knocked him speechless. Never has ever wanted a woman this bad.
Savvy is a beautiful American girl who is a bartender,waitress,writer. Once she meet Kian she knew she was a goner. She couldn't fight her attraction for him.
As they get to know one another Savvy has a hard time accepting that Kian is different from all her other relationship.
*****I voluntarily received an ARC from Net Galley for a honest review****

There is a certain sub-genre of romance novels with fictional Monaco-like kingdoms where a hot prince falls for a plucky American girl, face difficulties, and then end up happily ever after. This fits that sub-genre. The twist here is that Prince Kian is the spare younger twin brother. He is happily pursuing his man-slut ways and enjoying all the perks of being a sexy, rich prince without having the duty of being the crown prince. When we first meet him, he’s enjoying a threesome.
Then everything changes as his brother is kidnapped by terrorists and he has to step into the role of heir while his country’s secret service hunts for his brother. Meanwhile, he meets up with Savvy, the plucky American woman who, for some reason, is working in the kingdom as a waitress/bartender. He falls for her, of course, but it turns out that she had had an affair with Kian’s twin brother five years ago and been dumped because of that whole prince/duty thing.
So there is a lot going on here. The kidnapping, the man-whore in love plot, the problems in the different situations, getting over the fact that she has slept with and been in love with his twin brother. Any of those plots would make an interesting novel. Instead, it feels like Wolff has set up these plots, thrown in some hot sex scenes, and then resolved them all rather quickly without much detail or explanation of how this is going to all work out.
Maybe she’s setting up to continue the story and not leaving it as just Kian and Savvy finding their HEA, but having to deal with complications after they’ve declared their love and she’s agreed to marry him. It seems like there should be a lot more to wrap up - the twin’s torment and recovery, the king’s reaction, Savvy getting used to the limelight and paparazzi, but we don’t see that in this book. It felt like the book was over with those threads just left hanging - maybe for a sequel involving the crown prince. That book might be interesting to read. As it is, this book, while not left with a cliffhanger in the romance, still felt incomplete.
I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A bit predictable at times, but all in all an emotionally charged, feel good book.
I would have liked an epilogue of sorts, it kind of finishes abruptly.
I look forward to reading more about this family.

Another great read from Tracy Wolff. Hot and sassy. I loved the story line, it was a relatable modern day fairy tale. I really liked Savannah and Kian. I hope to see more of them and Garrett in the future.
