This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

I feel like the writing didn’t perform or convey the way the author wanted it to. I had a hard time keeping up with the storyline and characters and this book did not appeal to me like I thought it would.

Mafia prince meets his match.
Costello Badd is a Mafia Prince and Scotch a.k.a Heather is a waitress at his club. All Scotch wanted was to protect her friend while working along side. Costello comes into body search everyone including Scotch. She wasn't afraid until she almost strip searched her.
Costello can't get his hands off Scotch but when she was in trouble, he didn't hesitate to rescue her. Scotch was in trouble. She was covered in blood and holding a gun. She was trying to rescue her friend from Darien Valentine who was choking a life out of her. She tried but gun went off and she was in trouble.
Costello will need to come up with plan to help Scotch. He decided to take Scotch to his brother's wedding and keeping the secret away from his dad. He will have to figure out a way to settle everything without Scotch in harms way. He stood by his word and he promised to protect Scotch no matter what.
Its bit more complicated Mafia romance with really interesting family dynamic and Scotch has own set of her family who won't get along with his. Now both will have to figure out a way to save his family and Scotch's life.
Story moves fast and it shows more dynamics of family and why Costello seems the way he is.
Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake Romance for my ARC in exchange for honest review.

This book started out with a major bang! I wasn’t expecting all of that action to begin with. But I think that whole situation in the club is what made me like Scotch and Costello. This is definitely a spicy read with plenty of steam!

Scotch never runs from difficult situations. That is, until she rescues her bestie from a violent Mafia member. Now Scotch is running for her life. The only thing standing between her and certain death? The most dangerous man in the criminal underworld—and one of the sexiest. But just when Scotch thought she could keep her hands out of trouble, they end up all over Costello Badd’s hot, hard, tattooed body. Once upon a time, Costello’s blue blood might have ruled a nation. Instead, he is heir to one of the criminal underworld’s most lethal families. Now he’s risking his life and betraying his clan for one sexy, resourceful waitress with a penchant for all the wrong kinds of trouble. No matter how badly Costello wants Scotch, he can never make her his. Ever.A deliciously hot little hookup is one thing…but falling in love could ruin both of them—royally
The book was good. I liked both main characters as they went through the story. It was a hot and quick adventure. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I went into this a bit nervous since I didn't love the first book in the series. I wanted to like it since I'm a big fan of mafia romance, alpha males and strong heroines but I just could not get into it. I never felt "hooked." I set it down several times and was tempted to DNF. Ultimately I was curious enough about Scotch and Heather's HEA so I skimmed to get to the end. There were some fun scenes, a few twists and turns I liked, but it was just a bit to easy and slightly unbelievable. It was just okay for me.

Love the Badd family and how th e author builds each story. Costello is my favorite so far. Need more.

Wow!! This was a super good story that I couldn't put down! I really enjoyed this book!

Royally Ruined was the second installment in the Bad Boy Royals series featuring Costello and Scotch. I enjoyed this story, especially Costello and Scotch's chemistry and his bad boy broody persona. I honestly could not get enough!

When waitress Scotch discovers her bestfriend is in danger at the hands of a well-known gang member, she does what any bestfriend would do - risk her own safety and life to protect her friend. But when this unknowingly puts a target on her back, Costello Badd, the oldest son in the Badd mafia family does the unexpected and protects her. But what happens when lines are crossed and real feelings develop?

As soon as I started reading this novel I was intrigued by Costello and his broody ways. I wanted his story and to see the deep facets he was hiding. I enjoyed his chemistry with Scotch and loved that she brought him into the light and made him want to feel again.

All in all this was fantastic! I would like to thank Netgalley and Montlake Romance for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. Bravo! 4 Stars! ~Ratula

This story was adorable! The Mafia theme we get to see all the old characters from Bad I love Scotch and Costello. The chemistry is awesome the story flowed well, I loved the climax. Totally recommend giving this story a shot

Royally Ruined

This series is def not your typical royalty romance. This family is more mobster than royalty.
This one def kept you on the edge of your seat. There was danger lurking everywhere during this one. You never knew what was gonna happen next.
Can’t wait for Book 3 to be released so I can get some more of the Badd Family.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Royally Ruined is the second book in the Bad Boy Royals series and I utterly adored Royally Bad, the first book in the series, so I had pretty high expectations when I sat down to read Royally Ruined.
I expected just as much angst, romance, tension, mystery and suspense as I received with the first book in the series and I got all that and more!
Nora Flite definitely did not disappoint with the second book in this addictive series.
I can't wait to read more and learn more about one of my new favorite families.

Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake Romance for generously providing me with an arc of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Royally Ruined is the second book in the Bad Boy Royals series by Nora Flite, and follows Costello Badd.

I didn't have the pleasure of reading the first book in this series, but from what I can tell, you can certainly read this as a standalone. Without giving away too much of the storyline, it is a very different mafia book, but very good nonetheless -- intrigue, suspense and lots of steam!

I normally don't read mob/gang type books but I picked this one on a whim and I'm glad I did. It wasn't your typically mob story focused on various crimes and family members. Well...I suppose it was focused on that, but with equal focus on romance and chemistry.

Talk about being in the wrong spot at the wrong time. Scotch gets screwed when she tries to help her best friend out of a life threatening situation. She ends up on the run with a man she barely knows who is the only person she trusts to protect her.

My only complaint: why did no one think to track their cell phones? With today's technology you would think they would have ditched the phones and bought burner ones.

Otherwise loved it!

Are you ready to go to the Badd side again? Who am I kidding of course you are and nobody would blame you because this time we go Badd for the sinfully sexy Costello.

I knew after reading Royally Bad that I needed Costello’s book. There was just something about the oldest Badd that drew me in like a moth to a flame and after inhaling his book, I’m officially hooked on the damn guy.

Seriously, he is smoking hot and OMG just wait till you see him with his heroine in Scotch…..sigh. These two should come with a fire extinguisher to put out the sizzling flames that they generate. They are one hundred percent perfect for each other. Who knew that the toughest Badd would fall the hardest?

Scotch is one of those characters that you will love instantly. She’s tough, loyal, smart and sassy, not to mention the only woman to ever bring the almighty Costello to his knees and make him do things he never thought he would do.

Watching these two fall as they dodge bullets, Papa Badd, thugs and more was not only fun it was so worth the bleary eyes from lack of sleep the next day just so I could finish their story. No kidding here, this book sucked me in with the alternating POV chapters and would not allow me to put it down. Plus with all the revelations popping up, who was I kidding that it was only going to be just one more chapter.

I can’t wait for Thorne to find his HEA just as his siblings have and for the events of the last part of this book to play out. I’m officially hooked on this series, no doubt about it.

A thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. I did not read book 1 in this series. This read fairly well as a stand alone. This was an ok book for me I didn't love it or hate it. I couldn't connect with the characters at all. Don't really like mafia books. If you like mafia romance than this might be fun for you.

Scotch found herself in a difficult place one night. Her only bought was to save her best friend. Of course, this one moment changed her life forever. There was some doubt on what exactly happened but one person believed her. Costello promised he would keep her safe after knowing her for a very short time. She was captivated by his dark looks and the feeling of safety he instilled within her. Would the people that would be hunting for her, find her? Definitely an exciting fast paced story. Loved it!

This is the first book of this series that I've read, and I now want to read Kain's book. I love how intense Costello is. Such a great anti-hero. And Scotch is no slouch or your ordinary damsel in distress. They are such great characters... Happy sigh. Was rooting for them the whole way.

It's a dark subject, mafia and the underground. But it didn't feel that dark. Probably because they were...not there most of the time because... Read the book!! Got my heart thumping there a bit.

Though it took me a while to finish (sadly real life got in the way), I enjoyed it a lot.

I received an ARC of the book for my honest review. Thanks Netgalley and publisher.

This book was so good! In a book about the mafia, I'd never thought the word adorable would describe the hero but, Costello was just adorable! I loved his vulnerability, it really made him so much more real than I could have imagined.

Excellent writing and I can't wait to read more!
