The Bossy Prince

By: Lili Valente

Narrated by: Shane East, Lili Valente

Here’s what you need to know about Prince Nickolas Von Bergen: he’s cocky, bossy, secretive, and obnoxiously sexy.

Obnoxious because I really need to stop noticing how good my new boss looks in ski pants.

Yes. Boss.

As in, the man now giving me orders.

As in, the last man I should be picturing naked.

Starting anything with Nick would be a terrible idea, even if he weren’t hiding more secrets than a royal family group chat. He’s my brother-in-law, for God’s sake. It doesn’t get much messier than that.

And Prince Obnoxious isn’t the easygoing playboy the world thinks he is, either.

He’s a spy. Just like me.

And his first order as my commander?

Help him take down Europe’s most dangerous drug lord while pretending to be his girlfriend.

Suddenly, I’m undercover with the prince who drives me insane, sharing a romantic island resort, a fake relationship, and one very real bed. But the deeper we get into the mission, the harder it is to remember this is pretend.

Nick is charming. Clever. Protective. And under all that cocky royal nonsense, he might be the man I’ve been looking for my entire life.

Too bad falling for my brother-in-law is a complete non-starter.

Two spies might be able to fake a relationship, but building a real happily ever after?

That’s the most impossible mission of all.

Bossy prince. Fake relationship. Spy mission. Forced proximity. Only one bed. One dangerous island, one impossible royal, and one undercover romance that was never supposed to be real.

Royals Love

Although I got I little mad with Zan in the beginning, she and Nick become fast a favorite of mine couple. Nick surprised me a lot and I swoon hard over him. There’s a lot of surprises, action and top of the notch scenes! I wish it had more steamy scenes actually, but this book is super good that I overlooked this, which is a first from me. The very end was amazing, it shocked, surprised me and just showed how awesome Nick is! In love.

I had the opportunity to listen the audiobook and honestly it was just complemented the story so well. Can you believe that Lili is not only the writer but also one of the narrator? Shane East and her made an excellent job. I highly recommend this book with you like Royals stories and a little of action. To make it better? You should read from the beginning of the series.

Great story

The final story in this series does not disappoint. Good story plot. Very entertaining. Quite enjoyable.

Undercover Fun!

This book is sooooo much fun!
The Bossy Prince is the third book in this series and it’s definitely my favorite!
The push and pull between Zan and Nickolas in this slow burn, enemies to lovers story is so intense! This book is suspenseful yet fun.
I read the ebook and I listened to the audio version. I must say that Lili Valente and Shane East did the best job of breathing life into these characters. They made the story seem so much richer that when I was reading. Loved!

Absolutely Fantastic

Bossy Prince is the 3rd book in the Rugged & Royal Series. Nickolas Edward Xavier von Bergen, the youngest of the three Gallantia Prince and Alexandra Gertrude Renee Rochat, the “fraternal” one of the Rindich triplets have known each other since they were kids. Their relationship throughout the years has been filed with distaste and assumptions about each other. Zan’s serious, workaholic reputation followed her while Nick’s “not-caring” playboy reputation followed him. The thing is Zan and Nick had so much more in common, especially when it came to their jobs. When Nick gets recruited to work as a Spy in the same organization that Zan works for, the two are forced to work together in a secret mission, but also work together in keeping their professions a secret from their families.

I love Lili Valente’s books and this one is no different. I love the first two books in this series and Zan and Nick’s story did not disappoint. The Bossy Prince had a couple of my favorite tribes (enemies to lovers, boss/employee, fake relationship, and more). I absolutely love the way Lili creates these amazing characters who are a part of the same world yet are so wonderfully unique. Zan and Nick were very different than their respective siblings. The chemistry between the two was undeniable. Their witty banter was hilarious. It was like verbal foreplay. They were both so dedicated to their jobs, but while working on a special mission together, the two soon realize that the animosity they shared throughout the years wasn’t animosity at all - it was attraction.

I read the e-book, as well as listened to the audio, which was narrated by Shane East and Lili Valente, herself. Lili has become one of my favorite female narrators. I love the way she gives each character a unique voice that gives them their individual personality. Shane East and Lili Valente have done an amazing job with this series. I can listened to all three of the Rugged & Royal books over and over again. All three books are going to be favorites to listen to.

Fun and suspense fake relationship romance

he Bossy Prince is the 3rd book in the Royal Package series and it’s my absolute favorite in the trilogy. Alexandra (Zan) and Nickolas have always been at each other’s throats and are seemingly opposites. However, when they are forced to work together, they discover that they have more in common than they thought.

Zan and Nickolas were so much fun. As they pretended to be a fake couple, they realized that they both had a lot of misconceptions about the other and that appearances are deceiving. The bantering between them was amusing and the chemistry sizzled between them.

I switched between the audio and the written version of the story. Lili Valente, the author, narrates Zan and as always, I adore her narration. She’s so on pointe with the nuances she imbibes in her performance. Shane East narrated Nickolas and his accent was to die for. I could feel the intensity of his feelings for Zan.

This slow burn romance with a hint of suspense was delightful and Zan and Nickolas make the perfect partners. I highly recommend if you need a light, amusing read to brighten your day.
