I am a hugeeeee body guard trope girlie. Let me just say this is in my top 3. I loved Liss and bear so much. Think a more grown up princess diaries but better way better. And also with a hot bodyguard.

I loved this book, it’s the perfect mix of The Princess Diaries and The Bodyguard.
Liss the FMC discovers she’s the Kings granddaughter, she’s feisty and outspoken which initially proves difficult with her new found family but as the story goes on it’s exactly what’s needed.
Bear her Bodyguard is tasked to keep Liss safe, he can’t afford to fall for her….do we see what’s going to happen her lol. All jokes aside their was some spicy scenes 🌶️🌶️
This wasn’t just a simple boy meets girl romance, I really enjoyed the depth of sub plot (no spoilers)
Thank you NetGalley, Rebecca Chase and the Victory Editing for this ARC, all opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were well written and I loved their dynamic. I'm always going to lean toward a protector/protectee dynamic, especially when the MMC is grumpy! This was such a great grumpy sunshine relationship. Would definitely recommend!

A really lighthearted and fun romance but with a definite bit of heat! I thought it was going to be a bit too much with it's over the top theme but a really loved it. The balance was just right, it's a great read.

I would like to note that I received this ARC with the mindset that I would provide an honest review.
💜Found Family
💜Forced Proximity
💜Bodyguard Romance
💜Enemies to Lovers
💜He Falls Harder

The shopping list of tropes should tell you already that this book was well worth the read. Overall I rated this book 3.5/5 stars.
The book gave me the Princess Diaries feelings that I have been craving for years. It is more adult than the movie, so no worries there!

Liss quickly discovers that her grandfather may be the king and she is now in need of a body guard. We then meet our grumpy MMC, Bear. I really liked Bear but the instant lust for him was a little much. While the book is labeled enemies to lovers, I would say it is more two strong personalities thrown together within the forced proximity trope. The two are with each other so much that the relationship was bound to develop rather quickly.

I think that a dual pov would have really helped the story along so that we could get inside Bear’s mind and see what he was thinking/feeling.

The found family aspect was my favorite part about this book. As someone who has lost a parent, the journey that Liss went through throughout this book really hit home for me. She really wants to have that family, and that sense of belonging, and this story developed that trope nicely.

This book was fun and worth the read. I would definitely recommend this book to those who enjoy light romance/found family books and to those that just enjoy a story that leaves you wanting more.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for a review.

The premise of this book was so fun and adorable. I loved Liss, but I spent most of this book feeling sorry for her, and she spent most of this book asleep. There were some interesting parts with some plot movement and action that made the story really shine and the characters interesting. Overall, I felt like Bear and Liss teased each other into a relationship and while I didn't hate that part, I did feel like there was more backstory or growth of the characters to be had that would've made this story much better and more cohesive for me.

This book was so good! The storyline, the plot, the plot twists at the end, the spice. All of it was so good

I love a bodyguard romance, and thought a princess diaries esque book would be a lot of fun, so I was really excited for this book! Unfortunately, I felt that it didn’t meet my expectations.

The plot is fairly minimal in this book. The majority of the book comes from conversations / build up between the two MCs. It’s definitely an insta love, but there’s still a drawn out period before there’s any moves made between the two.

In terms of the story outside the romance, I found it pretty predictable. I’m usually able to stay in the moment while reading, but in this book it was very clear where each “twist” would unfold.

I did find the characters fairly likable, and am curious where Striker’s story will lead!

This book was slow to start for me and I almost put it down. I am glad I kept reading because as the story developed I enjoyed it more than I did at the start.

The theme of this book is a great one and it is an easy read. I just did not connect with it as much as I do with other similar stories, I can't put my finger on what I didn't love though. I wish I could be more helpful with this review, it was just an okay read for me I gues..

OMG, book was so good! The storyline, the plot, the plot twists at the end, the spice. All of it was so good. 5/5 stars for sure :)))

Helloooo Princess Diaries for grown ups!!

Liss chaotically discovers she might be the king’s granddaughter, making her forced into a dangerous and glamorous royal life. Her new bodyguard, Bear, protects her (and there is definitely some tension between them )

They were two very strong personalities, so getting them together was a BATTLE and I was hear for it.
Kids and Bears constant bickering and chemistry made the perfect enemies-to-lovers storyline. Throw in one of my favorite childhood movies and you have a win all around!

Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Coop for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

-body guard
-princess diaries
-enemies to lovers

I really loved this book! If you love the princess diaries then you will love this book. It is a fast paced well written romance that I think a lot of people will love!

Very much enjoyed this story. I fully 5 stars from me.
This is a bodyguard, grumpy man, steamy sex scenes romance which has the feel of princess diaries but for adults. Also a little bit like the one series too. I would highly recommend.

Unfortunately, this book wasn't for me, dnf 35%.
The concept was good and I've only read one Princess vs Bodyguard, but this book seemed very rushed.

At 5% our fmc was already making comments about the bodyguard. I felt 0 chemistry between them. It was a kind of instant love and I hate that, especially when you still have 300 pages to read.

The writing was great, I really enjoyed it, fast and entertaining. The characters and relationships were undeveloped and that was the biggest problem for me.

I want to thank NetGalley and the Author for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A concept that should be easy to sell but this book fell a little short.

We're flung right into the action - Liss finding out she's royalty, the bodyguard (Bear) being an obnoxious so-and-so.
Sadly, the characters feel very under developed. I wasn't able to make it past chapter six, as I just couldn't bond with them and their chemistry wasn't there for me.

Unfortunate for me. But I can imagine some will find it enjoyable - especially a slightly younger audience (I'm 26, I imagine an 18-21 year old would eat this up - I know I probably would've done back then).

I DNF this book at 65%. I tried to like it, I really did, but unfortunately I couldn’t get into it. The concept of this book was really good, but everything else after that didn’t do it for me. The dialogue was cringy, I thought the insta-lust was a little much, and the characters relationships were underdeveloped. I’m really sorry, but this book was just not for me.

This book is an easy, fun read. I read it over a weekend while camping and it was perfect for that. It felt very much like an adult version of Princess Diaries. Liss discovers she is the granddaughter of the King, and is forced to step into her new role with her surly, strong bodyguard, Bear.

I enjoyed the relationship between Liss and Bear. It wasn’t precisely enemies to lovers, so much as two strong personalities with a lot of banter. A perfect example of forced proximity.

The only thing I didn’t like was how clearly villainous the antagonist was - it meant there wasn’t the mystery there could have been. I also found some things came together a little too quickly/neatly.

I was debating 3 or 4 stars, but the subplot with the grandfather pushed me to four, as well as Liss’ descriptions of her relationship with her mother.

Loved this! This is similar to Meghan Quinn's Royally Not Ready which I absolutely loved so I knew I wanted to read Regally Binding.

I am so glad I picked this up. It was a lot fun. Filled with humor, banter, and spice Regally Binding is for the readers who loved Princess Diaries but want a more adult version. The romance is enemies to lovers which I think was done really well. I liked their chemistry and banter a lot; really added to the steamier scenes. I also enjoyed the bodyguard and royalty aspect of the story too.

A fun time that a lot of readers will gobble up!

This was a good romcom. It was humorous and sweet. I definitely recommend it! Pick this one up on publication day!

sadly this is going to be a DNF at 35%. I’m just not very interested in the story and I feel like the characters are all cliche.
