The Royals Next Door

De: Karina Halle

Narrado por: Cassandra York

One of PopSugar's Top Summer Reads of 2021!

An ordinary summer goes royally awry when a prince and princess move next door, bringing their handsome bodyguard with them, from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle.

Piper Evans: elementary school teacher by day--avid romance reader and anonymous podcaster by night. She has a quiet, reclusive life, taking care of her mother, who lives with mental illness, avoiding her regrettable ex, who bartends in town, and trying to make inroads in the tight-knit island community that still sees her, five years in, as an outsider.
And she's happy with how things are--really--until British royals rent the property next to hers and their brooding bodyguard decides she's a security threat. Piper quickly realizes that one person's fairy tale is an ordinary woman's nightmare as a media frenzy takes over the island and each run-in with Harrison Cole is hotter and more confusing than the last. But beneath Harrison's no-nonsense exterior lies a soft heart, one that could tempt a woman who's sworn off attachments into believing in white knights.

But when Piper finds herself smack in the middle of a royal scandal that rocks the island she'll need more than Harrison's strong arms to shield her--she'll have to do a little rescuing herself. With careers, hearts, and friendships on the line, Piper and Harrison will have to decide what they're willing to give up for a chance at their own happily ever after.

This “smutt” is so good!

I felt like I had the teenage girl crush feelings, but in an adult setting I could relate to! My only complaints is that it was all over to soon! I absolutely LOVED listening to this!!! Fantastic narration and story!

Deliciously adorable

This was exactly the easy listening I needed. I loved the character development, the hot bodyguard, the small town vibes and the royals. Cute without being cheesy. Too cheesy anyway.

Not for me.

Not a fan of the sex scenes. I failed to check on this before purchasing.

Fun.

It’s always cool when there’s a male narrator, too but maybe this book didn’t lend itself to that, given the point of view it was told from.

Loved it

Really liked the development of the characters and the pace of the book. Very Harry/Megan story but really enjoyed it.

I don’t know how I waited so long

I love it!

I purchased this book so long ago I forgot what was it about, so it was a nice surprise when I start listening and the characters weren’t what I was expecting.

Sweet romance. I love it

Good book to relax too

A good read with out a lot of ups and downs. A nice constant story line is a good break from the conflict resolution found in many other books. Nice the just listen to and drift off… plus a little something extra in it of course ;)

Karina does not disappoint

I loved this story so much! I was giddy while listening to this! Karina does not disappoint in her stories!!!

Funny, Entertaining, & Romantic

I’ve been on a book slump and this is just what I needed to get over it. So cute. Loved every minute!

Couldn’t put it down

At first it felt more meet cute/romance, but as the story developed I got roped in and I couldn’t get enough of it.
