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.

His Royal Hotness is the best naughty fairytale ever!

I never know what to expect from Tracy Wolff next, but whatever it is, I want it. I don't care what she writes about, I know it's gonna be good. I really really love her writing style. She has a way of writing dialogue that makes me feel like I'm in the room, and the same goes for her sexy scenes. This particular story that I expected to be funny, surprised me by touching my emotions. I felt the struggle, the pain, and the passion. And, it also made me laugh. It was the full package.

I totally fell for His Royal Hotness. He's cocky and arrogant and playful and funny. But underneath all the charm he's a real person that hurts like the rest of us. He's been lucky enough to enjoy all the perks of royalty while not having all the responsibilities that go with it. Being 7 minutes younger than his twin brother made him the spare rather than the heir. But that didn't mean he wasn't close to his brother. He wasn't jealous, he was glad to be off the hook. He was proud of his twin, confident that he had what it took to rule. And when he came up missing, he was devastated. The last thing he wanted to do was step into his shoes. He'd rather be out looking for him. But duty called and he tried to do what was expected of him.

Rather than sun bathing on the yacht with the bikini clad crown chasers he ended up stuffed into a scratchy tux being pursued by the mothers trying to parade their eligible daughters in front of him. The last thing he expected was a rescue in the form of a waitress purposely pouring a tray of drinks on him to extricate him from their clutches. And once that happened, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Was it the fact that she was the first woman to refuse him? Was it the novelty that she didn't want to date him.? Was it her unavailability that made her so tempting? Or was it because she was sassy and not afraid to say exactly what she was thinking? His royal status didn't intimidate her in the least. In spite of her refusal, he knew that she wanted him. The chemistry between them was too strong for her not to feel it too. Too bad he didn't know how to contact her. But hey, there are perks to being royalty, right?

Savvy couldn't deny how delicious Kian was. Of course she was tempted to taste him. But her heart had been broken before, and she had promised herself she wouldn't go there again. When he showed up at her house uninvited, she wasn't surprised. She knew that if he wanted to find her, he had easy access to the means to do so. What surprised her was that he wanted to. Was history repeating itself? Was she asking for trouble by letting him in the door? Was she risking her heart again just by listening... and lusting?

There was a lot more to this story than what I was expecting. Secrets and surprises, twists and turns, love and laughter. I didn't want it to end, but I loved how it did. I'm very excited that it's a series and knowing that I have more to look forward to makes me very happy. The line forms here...

I have read one other book (so far) by Tracy Wolff. It was a good book, so I figured while I usually don't go for royalty type books that I would try this one. I have to say, I am so glad I did!! I absolutely loved this book!! This book is about Kian, who is a royal prince although not the heir. And Savvy (Savannah-which she hates) who is an American who is working part time as a bartender and part time as a waitress so she can write somewhere she loves. They meet at a gala when she "rescues" him from someone he doesn't want to deal with. I wasn't sure after reading the beginning that I was going to like it. I really didn't like how Kian acted at the beginning. Normally men like that completely wreck the story for me. Little did I know that Ms. Wolff would make him someone I absolutely adored by the middle of the book!! Underneath the playboy facade is this sweet, caring, and emotional man who never feels like he is enough. Savvy, what can I say, I loved her from the start. She is snarky and mouthy and I just love how she doesn't let the fact that he is royalty sway her in any way. Little does he know though, she has already dealt with one prince. This book was so good, I couldn't put it down and read it in a day! I adored the characters together, and I loved how no matter what they work things out. With as much bad as was happening to a family member, they still managed to fall in love and work out their differences. I cannot wait for Garrett's story!! And I am hopeful we will see the sister, Ana, show up in his so we can have a third book!

When one twin prince goes missing, the spare heir has to step up when he hoped never to have to. But when at an event someone saves him and feelings quickly grow. I enjoyed this romance, how they came over their pasts to find love. Good start to a series, and hopefully we'll get more of the brother soon. :)

I received an ARC of this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I have read several books from this author and I would definitely recommend this book.

Garrett is the crown prince until he goes missing and then his Playboy twin has to fill the roll until he's found. It's a great story of finding himself and falling for the perfect girl along the way. With a few twist along the way that I don't want to spoil.
Great read and now to wait for the next book in the series!

I really couldn't connect with the characters, they felt too fake. The storyline took forever to advance, it was half ways through the book before anything of significance really happened and then everything happened too quickly. It was just hard to get into the story and then all of a sudden it went so fast you couldn't keep up.

Royal pain was a fun flirty good time! Who doesn't love a bad boy and a prince to boot? There were definitely some nice twist in here to knock us off our feet! Loved all the sass our little Savvy dishes out 😘 and Kian I loved his transition from cocky ne'er do well to a king in the making. Sweet modern Cinderella!

Prince Kian of Wildemar has it all – he’s rich, good looking and can have any woman he wants. He is a ‘spare’ to the throne however as his twin brother, Garrett, was born minutes earlier. So you see, Kian has all the fun but none of the responsibility that comes with being next in line to the throne. All that changes though when Garrett is kidnapped and with not knowing if he is dead or alive, Kian must face his calling and deal with all the royal duties that he has wanted to avoid. Kian’s playboy ways seem to vanish though when he meets Savvy and that is when this story begins to heat up and the real action begins.

What girl doesn’t dream of being swept off her feet by a handsome prince? Although that wasn’t quite Savvy’s dream, it is a reality that she just can’t believe is true. Not only has she fallen in love with a prince, this isn’t her first rodeo with the royal family. Nope…you see Savvy dated Garrett five years ago, but the relationship did not work due to Garrett’s love of his country and his destiny of being the next King. Although she is falling in love with Kian, she is afraid of falling too deep, fearing that Kian’s destiny will prevent any type of long-term relationship.

To be honest, I am so torn on how I feel about this book. It’s a really cute story with the desired HEA, but something was just missing. I felt as though the story could have been expanded on just a bit – maybe more background on Garrett’s and Savvy’s failed relationship would have helped. Or maybe the story ended too perfectly – because let’s be honest, a King (especially the one in this story) will not let his son just marry anyone – especially a commoner – without some sort of conflict. I guess I would have liked to know what happened after Kian and Savvy announced their undying love to one another. Did the King throw a royal fit? Did they get married? Have kids? Something….anything? The ending to me felt rushed and just left me feeling empty despite the HEA. Even though this story did not leave in a cliffhanger per say, I really hope that some of these questions will be answered in the next installment of this new series.


This was a fun read despite the few issues I had with the story and I will definitely check out the next installment when it releases.

3 ½ stars

After reading Down and Dirty a few months ago I was excited to get to this book and read more from this author. However, while I enjoyed Royal Pain I did have a few issues so it has split my opinion.

To start with, Royal Pain seemed to have everything I love in a book and be setting up for an interesting read. It has 2 princes, a commoner, suspense, romance, and drama. As ideas, I liked these elements. I also liked Kian. He had a good balance if playboy prince, but also genuine love and concern for his brother. He seemed like a good guy and I liked him

However, I'm not sure I bought into the whole romance. It started off interestingly enough, but it moved too quickly for my liking and I didn't feel the spark. I also skimmed some of the sex scenes as since I didn't feel the chemistry between the characters they didn't work for me and felt more like padding.

Moreover, while I liked the idea of this books, I think it had the potential to be more. It felt undeveloped to me. A lot of situations happen behind the scenes or out of sight. It left a lot to be desired for and aided in the disconnect I felt. It's a shame because this could have been a great read and it had the potential. I just felt it lacked in execution. It also led to a swift resolve in the end. Things just happened too fast for me in this book--feelings, plot, ending. It was kind like a whistle stop tour of this world.

Overall, this is a short easy read. Down and Dirty was a much better read by this author, but this one was okay. I thought more could be made of it had it been developed more.

The royal lover in me demanded I pick this up. It started off well, but then I found myself feeling like I was being pushed along in the story.

Kian and Savvy started off hot, but they went from sizzling chemistry to deep feelings being shared under some pretty heavy emotional turmoil. I get that sometimes feelings present themselves at the worst time, but it felt like with everything else that was going on in Kian's life blurting it out when he did felt like a cop out.

Then there was Garrett. A couple of things happened with him that were pretty integral to the story, but I felt like his relationship with Savvy was brushed under the rug. It weighed on both Kian and Savvy for most of the book so I would have expected more when this finally was addressed (not a quick side conversation).

Finally, I wasn't a fan of the ending. Not because there wasn't a HEA, but more because it felt like it was just dumped on me. A big "there...they're happy now." It didn't feel like anything had been resolved in the story and left me wondering what happens next. I'm guessing there's another book, but I'm not sure if that's a continuation of Kian and Savvy's story or if it's Garrett's. Regardless, I still felt as if I got to this point and left hanging.

If you like your romances filled with suspense, kidnapping, heartbreak, tragedy, drama, a secret, angst, a smart mouth waitress, a hot, naughty, playboy prince, twists, and plenty of steam, then check out Royal Pain by Tracy Wolff.

I volunteered to review an advanced readers copy of this book.

I didn't actually enjoy this as much as I was hoping to. It might work for some people, for me though it didn't.

Royal Pain is first and foremost about the 'spare' prince Kian of Wildemar and an American Savannah who fall in love. What sets it apart from most romance novels, though, is the element of suspense throughout due to the kidnapping of heir to the throne, and Kian's brother, Garrett.

That storyline was very well done and integrated into the other parts of the book in many ways.

The romance between Kian and Savannah had some sweet and heart-rending moments as the book went on, but it felt a little too insta-love at the beginning. You can understand why Kian is attracted to her and why he would pursue her, but it just felt a little quick for me.

Overall, an interesting story and characters, and I do hope we get another book with Garrett in the future!
