“Not yet. Go back to the guests, Father. I’ll handle this.” King Tadeas put a hand on his son’s shoulder. “I am a father first and a king second. My place is with you. This is one fight you won’t face alone.”
You just don't understand how much fun I had with this book. Rachelle and Magnus as a couple was funny and inspiring. I think Reggie and Finn took the cake but that Epilogue... I cried. To have a heart that big, fictional or not is unheard of. I was invested and loved the love and commitment she portrayed from beginning to end.
Ruth did it again and ROCKED this story from start to finish.
I’m sorry to say that this book was not for me. I struggled through most of the book to even finish. I got the impression that due to it being a royalty book, it had an old world feel to it, but then it would switch it up with current terminology. I also could not connect with the main characters. I found Rachelle to be naive and immature and Magnus basically arrogant and pompous. The way they met, and his misunderstanding just set the tone for me and really didn’t get any better. As this is the first book I have read by this author, I don’t think it went badly due to not having read the previous books. I feel that this style of writing is not one I enjoy. For those that have, they may have a totally different view entirely.
Excellent story! I LOVE the Westerly's! This is Rachellel's story and it was fun and snarky, sexy and exciting! Two great characters and their individual situations was so enjoyable to read.
Rachelle is strong and independent and loyal but she is unsure of herself. Magnus is a Prince with the weight of his country's success on his shoulders and DEFINITELY doesn't believe in love. When these two get together it's fireworks!!
A Prince, a super hero, a real and down to earth heroine, and so much more in Ruth Cardellos new Westerly novel. A warm, funny, unconventional romance. Prince Marcus on a mission to grant a wish for a sick child in his homeland, takes him to England to bring the actor who plays the super hero to meet him. Along the way he bumps into a gorgeous woman, mistakes her identity. Rachelle is stunned when she sees Prince Marcus on the Red carpet at her brothers premier. Marcus finds her attitude towards him, sassy, funny, and calling him on his arrogance, totally refreshing. Will they? Could they? Should they? Will his people accept her, his father? All the answers are in a great read, thoroughly enjoyed the characters, romance, sexy scenes and the way it ends. Looking forward to the next installment.
We want the fairytale. We need the fairytale. Ruth Cardello makes sure that we get it. Royal Heir is every romantic's dream. To find a happy ending. However, Ms. Cardello switches it up as only she can. Rachelle and Magnus, have to first rescue themselves, before they get a happily ever after. For Magnus, that means letting go of his ingrained bitterness and mistrust by allowing himself to love. For Rachelle, that means releasing herself from the past and looking ahead to the future. Amazing that one little boy could set about healing a lifetime of damage, with a less than simple request. The power of hope is a wonderful thing.
In Royal Heir we revisit the Westerly family and all that is their crazy, messed up relationships. Rachelle goes to London to check to her brother, Eric because he seemed “off” at their brother’s wedding. Once there she is met with a very cool welcome and begins to feel like she is definitely not wanted in Eric’s home. While at the premiere of Eric’s new movie, Rachelle meets Crown Prince Magnus Gustavus Valentine de Bartelebon and he is a pretentious as his name sounds. Magnus is definitely the kind of guy who gets what he wants and he wants Rachelle. While she keeps saying no, Rachelle begins to lose a piece of her heart each time the Prince shows his true self to her and not just the playboy who wants her in his bed.
This is the third book in the Westerly series and I love going back to visit this crazy, mixed up, dysfunctional family. It is always fun to see what everybody is up to and this one is no different. The grandmother is definitely there trying to stir up “trouble”, Eric needs help and Rachelle is up to her neck in Royal “stuff”. I love this family and thoroughly enjoyed seeing Rachelle get her HEA even if it is with a Prince who definitely has no self-esteem issues! It was a blast getting to know Rachelle and her Prince.
I received an ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.
The third book in Ruth Cardello’s Westerly Billionaire series centers on Rachelle Westerly. A schoolteacher and family peacemaker, she takes off for England to see her brother Eric. When she meets Prince Mangus, she feels an attraction, yet does not want to open up her heart to him. Yet in order to help her brother, she finds herself accepting the arrogant princes’ help. Of course Mangus takes this opportunity to win her over, but little does he know that he has his work cut out for him and with danger lurking in the shadows, he finds himself protecting her as her life depends on it.
Rachelle Westerly needs a break. After years of acting as the family peacekeeper, she decides to go and visit her movie star brother. Rachelle is an amazing character. She is smart and funny , quite amd reserved and a heart so full of love. Rachelle loves with everything she has. Soon-to-be leader of Vandorra, Prince Magnus de Bartelebon always gets what he wants. At first I really didnt like the macho ego Magnus has. Magnus instantly wants Rachelle. Can a macho heart love a macho ego? I loved this book, i can't wait to read more in the series. Very well written. It makes you laugh and love and cry. It has it all.
I read a ARC review copy from NG for review purposes.
This is book book 3 in the series and I really enjoyed it. It was definitely one that I could not put down. It stars Rachelle Westerly who is in Europe with her actor brother Eric. Eric has major issues and I mean MAJOR and Rachelle knows this but he also is estranged and he gives her a hard time in letting her in.
Magnus is a prince who is not a people person. One day he meets a sick child and the child wants to meet his hero, a comic book movie hero played by Eric. However Eric ducks Magnus as well. Until Magnus finds his achille's heel and thats how he meets Rachelle.
They fall into lust and he works hard to get her to trust him and let him in. I really enjoyed this story and it has lots of twists and turns but it was also very romantic and I loved how kind and giving Magnus is while he tries to get what he wants namely Rachelle.
What woman in their right mind would tell Prince Magnus no? Rachelle, that's who. All she wants to do is spend some time with her brother and get to know him better. Magnus is just looking to make the lives of his subjects better. They have a few rough spots along the way, but it makes the ending so much better because of these.
