Reign or Shine

Rosavia Royals, Book 2

By: HJ Welch

Narrated by: Kieran Flitton

A secret prince needs: A lost tourist to save.

Prince Cassander is on vacation from his overdeveloped sense of duty. While hiding out as simply "Cas" in the Rosavian capital, he rescues a gorgeous, distressed American tourist. Matty has no idea that Cas is second in line to the throne. And with only two weeks together to explore the sparks between them, he doesn’t need to ever find out.

New Yorker Matty Doyle is a fish out of water, taking care of his niece and mending his broken heart. When Cas rescues him, the handsome stranger coaxes Matty out of his shell and he throws caution to the wind. Nobody knows him here. Would it hurt to live a little for once?

But a prince can’t stay secret in his own country for long. Cas would give anything to protect Matty from reality, but how can this fantasy together continue when they belong in different worlds?

Welcome to the tiny European country of Rosavia, where roses ramble over alpine slopes and princes fall for the men of their dreams. Every Rosavia Royals book happens simultaneously, so books can be listened to on their own, or in any order...but keep an eye out for familiar faces around the palace!

Cas and Matty's Royal Love Story

The book in the 'Rosavian Royals' universe that tells the story of second heir Cassander can be found in 'Reign or Shine'. Cas, as he prefers to be called, is weary of his royal duties and decides to go incognito in Alpina, the capital city of Rosavia. He meets Matty, an American escorting his niece to a prestigious archery program at a posh boarding school near Alpina. They meet-cute and quickly fall for one another.

Author HJ Welch gives the reader a low-angst Cinder(f)ella story. Cas and Matty are adorable as they navigate what they both think of as a vacation fling, but start to realize their feelings for each other go deeper than that. Can they get past Cas' initial deception and Matty's hesitation to grab their HEA?

Narration by Kieran Flitton is very good. He brings out the emotional impact of Welch's story.

I received a free review copy of this audiobook, at my reqauest, and agreed to post my voluntary opinion of it.

Recommended. It's a well-written, fluffy, smile-inducing romance.

much better than the first book

The narration is great. This book was a lot better than the first, not at all overly repetitive. It's a sweet love story, with low angst.

Very good

Really enjoyed this version of Reign or Shine by HJ Welch! I think that they "shine" (get it?) in audio format and Keiran Flitton does a bang up job narrating this series! This is one of my favorites of the series and it is a great listen!

Sweet and amazing listen!

I absolutely love Cas and Matty's story! This is such a sweet story that I fell in love with reading it. So listening to Kieran Flitton narration of this story made me love it even more. This was such a beautiful listen that I couldn't stop listening. Kieran brings the story to life and these characters. I just love this world that has been created in this multi author world.

Matty and Cas are so freaking adorable!

Matty and Cas are so freaking adorable!
I loved this book where Prince Cassander, second in line to the Throne and the ever responsible one, falls for a commoner, an American tourist, nonetheless. The story of how they become closer and closer and then their hopes for a future together, is a sweet and enchanting journey!
