Cosmo never expected to find someone. His past has shaped him into a man with heckafide demons. The he meets Tai. Her demons are just as bad. But can the sharp edges form a smooth whole?
I enjoyed the installment of Elle Boon's Royal Bastards MC. I enjoyed returning to this world and getting to know Cosmo better. I enjoyed seeing Cosmo find his place within the MC even as he found himself tied in knots once he meets Tai. I loved seeing Tai find her footing. Her past isn't the greatest. Her present isn't much better until she catches Cosmo's eye. Will she find the courage to trust in the changes he brings? I loved the journey she takes to grab her future by the balls.

Overall Opinion :
Shane is here! First of all I would like to give this author a huge fr asking shoutout for not only battling cancer but also coming out more ruthless and amazing as ever! Lily is truly an inspiration.

I was heartbroken when I got to know that this series was being put on hold a few years ago but then even more devastated when I got to know the reason why. And then somehow this woman performs a literal miracle and gives this book to us! I will forever be thankful.

Shane and Brinley have an amazing tale of love and hate. The characters are amazing and the banter in this book is to die for like all the books of this series. This author never fails to make me laugh with her jokes! Next up is Damon and I am so glad to say that we do meet his woman in this book and I am already losing my mind about it.

Definitely recommending this one to all the dark romance loving people out there.

Honestly I don’t have an interest in reading this book anymore and I want to be more selective with what I request. This was archived before I could download it and have no desire to purchase this book.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.

Royally F**cked is number six in a series but can also be read alone. I personally didn't like this book as I couldn't get into the characters which is a huge shame as the premise was fairly interesting!

Rating: 2⭐

Would I Read It Again? No

Would I Recommend it? Not really- read the synopsis and see if it is something that you would be into

What a heart wrenching read. The author gave us a very well written storyline with characters that grabbed my heart from the start. The main characters of the book, Daitai and Cosmo have lived through hell on earth and survived. Their pasts completely tore me in two and took me on a very emotional ride. Two broken souls trying to find their way. Cosmo was so much more than what the world saw. Daitai was broken by the very people who were supposed to love her. When they come together they find inner peace but keeping it will come at a cost to both them and Cosmo’s MC Brothers.

I am struggling at writing this review because I don’t want to spoil even the tiniest of details. The book is just that darn good. I Strongly suggest grabbing up “Royally F**ked” ASAP and jumping in head first. Once you do you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say this is an outstanding must read. Kudos Ms Boon for a job well done.

This book is not for the faint of heart. Dealing with dark subject matter it is a gripping portrayal of two damaged souls finding light in the darkness. This book deals with all forms of sexual abuse, child abuse, human trafficking, and forced sex work not to mention heavy violence.

This book shows how people can still have a capacity for love after suffering extreme abuse particularly after being betrayed by the people who should have protected them. This book delves into a world we know exists but prefer not to think about. I felt sick at times reading this, not because it was disgusting but at the powerful descriptions, they are meant to horrify. There is no sugar coating in this book. It is raw and in your face and this is exactly how it should be.

If dark themes are not for you then avoid this book, but if your looking for something thought provoking, emotive and gripping then this is a book for you. I couldn't put it down.

Royally F**ked is Book 6 in the Royal Bastards MC series, though like I did, it can be read as a stand alone.

This book has some serious emotional heart ache and it touches on some dark stuff, child hood and adult abuse. I felt like I needed to hug both Tai and Cosmo and try to protect them.
Royally F**ked pulls your emotions in every direction!
Overall not a bad read.

Authors... trigger warnings exist... use them!
From page one this book is full of triggers but there aren't any warnings which make this a very hard read.
But overall, this was an interesting read. The plot was intriguing and I actually liked both main characters. The end was a bit messy and felt rush but it was good.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I got this like two days before the book was supposed to be out.

Cosmos, I never imagined that his bad a** man would be so effing sweet and lovable.
Tai, what ever happened to her she became one heck of a very strong woman.

With each page that we read, we are given a heartfelt confession and it made Cosmos, so damn good that i wanted to have one like him.

The horrors he got when he was just a child made him the man he is, As for Tai, she made him complete. It was the most beautiful thing to see.

Demon Security, will we have a spin off from the men of his? I want to say I hope so...

Another one bites the dust...who will be next?

Hollywood? Yep.. will be waiting for his book!

Royally Intense!

This was a pretty intense MC read that took you to the edge. What Cosmo and Dai Tai went through as children broke my heart and opened some pretty dark themes. It was a miracle how two broken people had made it this far in life. I loved Cosmo’s outlook of that he was not broken but a survivor. Now he was trying to get Tai to see it his way. I loved Cosmo and Tia’s journey and boy way it packed full of some intense feelings and chemistry!! This book was a winner for me.

I adored this book, although we had a love hate relationship, I loved it and I hated the emotional turmoil it put me through (but let’s be honest I love to be made to cry and happy when things work out) It really is an emotional rollercoaster, tears, happiness, pain and laughter you will feel it all.. This book has everything! They broke my heart at points, a beautifully dark, this story is beautifully written, you need to read this.

Royally F**cked by Elle Boon is the sixth installment in the Royal Sons MC series. It follows Cosmo and Tai, two tortured souls as they struggle to find their happy ever after.

I think that Tai and Cosmo were very much meant to be. The traumatic events they went through made their connections that more meaningful as they were able to understand and support each other. Their story went through quite a few twists and turns. It was action-packed and fast-paced.

However, and this is entirely on me, despite how well both characters fit together, I couldn't connect with them. The install-love once again killed it for me. I should just see reason and avoid it from now on because it always spoils it for me.

That said, this made for a quite entertaining read, and I would recommend it for MC and tortured soul lovers ^^

This was a beautifully dark and twisted story of two individuals with tragic pasts finding each other and discovering the other halves of their soul. Cosmo and Tai have both suffered horrific abuse in their lives. The way each dealt with this abuse was different but the past brought them both together and they find the ability to heal with each other. This book deals with some very tragic subject matter that does, unfortunately, occur daily across the world. This story and relationship is beautifully written by this talented author. I couldn’t stop reading this book once I started. My heart broke for Cosmo and Tai As I read this story. I absolutely loved this MC and how they take care of family. You need to read this book!!!

So this was the first Elle Boon book I read and can I just say MON DIEU!!
This book was quite a dark read and our MCs endure so much its really heartbreaking and gut wrenching. Even though some of it was very dark and a times hard to read the story was so all-consuming, you're literally sucked into Tai and Cosmo's story in a way that you cannot put the book down; you're invested in them fighting their way to HEA. I really liked this author's writing style and character building and development, and I can safely say I'll definitely be picking up more books by this author.

For my safety gang there are a lot of triggers in this book so be warned!
Thank you Net galley for the ARC

i don't normally choose the MC title when on offer but thought i'd give it a go. A. good read in al,l soft touch on various tough subjects such as sex trafficing/modern slavery with the psychological damage that the survivors struggle with and a nice little romance thrown in.for good measure. All in all glad i gave it a go

ARC Review
Royally F**ked is a stand-alone romance in a series that tells us a story of Tai, Chinese girl who flees her country and goes to USA to stay alive after being captured, and Cosmo, MC member.
Cosmo saves her from being taken by a man who belongs to the organisation that took her in China.
They both had rough life. Cosmo from the beginning felt the need to protect Tai and make her his.
Their story gripped me to the core. I was really moved in the scenes where Tai was talking about what happened to her in China and the way Cosmo consoled her every time when she was upset.
I loved how the author described the relationship, brotherhood between all the MC members and the way all of them was there for each other.
I loved how Tai and Cosmo’s relationship developed.

Okay, so there’s a lot going on here. One thing this is not is boring.

It starts with an introduction to Cosmo. He’s rich but has survived his own nightmare.
He’s a member of the Royal Bastards MC. As far as he’s concerned it’s all the family he needs.

The story then switches to Dai-tai in China. Her life hasn’t been good but it’s about to get a lot worse.

These two finally meet and sparks fly. But before they can even consider their HEA. They need to deal with her past.

This was an entertaining read. I did feel certain parts would have benefitted from a little padding.
