Royal Chase

The Royals of Monterra

By: Sariah Wilson

Narrated by: Cristina Panfilio

Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins

Publisher's Summary

Booking her client, Prince Dante of Monterra, on reality show Marry Me is a royal coup for PR agent Lemon Beauchamp. But thanks to a last-minute glitch, Lemon must pretend to be one of the contestants vying to win the playboy prince's love and then live happily ever after - at least until the publicity tour ends.

Prince Dante agreed to go on the show to find a wife, even though he already has the perfect candidate in mind. She's smart, funny, sexy, and completely uninterested in wealth and fame. She's also absolutely determined to keep him at arm's length.

Even if Lemon weren't already engaged, she can't trust a notorious flirt like Dante. So she ignores the lingering looks. Those subtle, thrilling touches. That pulse-quickening kiss. Until suddenly, Lemon isn't playing for the cameras. She's lovestruck for real, and just maybe, the man behind the title is the one who's always been in her heart....

A Wonderful fairytale

I've read and listened to hundreds of romance books so I rarely give five stars to any story because I have read and heard it all before. This story totally deserves five fan-freaking-tastic stars. It's just such a sweet fairytale story. The reality TV aspect was mild and it was more centered around Lemon and Dante. This story is funny, sweet, adorable and very romantic without including a single sex scene. I feel like this story is perfect for anyone who likes fairytales and believes in love.

The narration is very good too. Ms. Panfilio was able to do the southern accent very well and at the same time she did very good male voices with italian accent. This must have been challenging for her but it came out very natural. Her narration definitely added to this wonderful story.

This book is well worth a credit but it is a better deal if you buy the kindle version and add the audible book as well.

This Girl is Dumber Then a Pile of Rocks

Royal Chase is in a word frustrating. Our main character Lemon was raised sheltered and continues to be such during this book version of the Bachelor. It was increasingly frustrating to listen as people told her point blank about certain things and then she refuses to believe it. Then when she is is proven wrong all she can think is "Why didn't anyone tell me?" Girl we tried...

Love it--must have

I read the first book with Kat and Nico and fell in love. Purchased the second and third book with the audible version while buying the kindle book version. I love the story line of this book and the narrator did an awesome job bringing the characters to life. I found myself laughing and smiling all the way to the end. I have read many books and heard many through audible this is one of my favorites. I give it five stars all around😊

Royal Chase

I did not see that coming! I loved it. I knew I would love Lemon’s HEA. Her Lemon-isms are fantastic had me smiling a lot. The Prince is sweet and kind and I love that he just kept fighting for what he truly wanted. I have a feeling his brother is going to be the next book and his HEA is going to have him in all kinds of knots just and Lemon had her man. I really enjoyed the different narration from the first book it was nice to have the separation. She too brought these characters their own voice it was great.

Absolutely adorable!

I'm not at all a reality TV type person, and in the past I've tried to enjoy novels set in reality TV shows with little success. I was willing to give this one a chance, though, because I liked the premise--and I'm so glad I did! Lemon's a great narrator, and even when the reader's practically shouting at her to dump her loser fiance and give Dante a chance already, it's impossible not to love her. Her uniquely southern voice (especially with all of her laugh out loud sayings, like "I had imagined I'd feel happier than a tick on a fat dog when I got engaged") really gave the book flavor. Throw in Prince Dante's text messages at the beginning of each chapter (the only time we hear directly from him; the story's all from Lemon's POV), and I was completely charmed.

I haven't read book one yet ( Royal Date ), but it's absolutely made it onto the short version of my TBR, because Lemon gives us enough teasers that I really want to find out Kat and Nico's story. Plus, the opportunity to see Lemon and Dante's from the very beginning is just too good to pass up. I must know all!

Since we're only privy to what Lemon knows in the book, there's a whopper of a secret being kept from both of us concerning what's going on with Dante and the bachlorettes, which leads us right into book three in the series, Rafe's book. I absolutely cannot wait! Is it July yet? ;)

(The audiobook version absolutely makes this story, BTW. The narrator nails Lemon's accent, and gives her voice that little bit extra. I'd love to see books one and three also be released on audio--hint, hint! :))

Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

Such a Terrific Love Story!

This series has been amazing, this book making it even more so. I smiled, I got teary eyed and I fell in love with both main characters. The narrator did a fantastic job in portraying each character, i look forward to hearing more from her in the future. I hope this series goes on for a bit because I love it and definitely want Dante's twin brother to get his HEA. so if you love a great romance with all the feels this is a must listen / read!

A cute story.

I loved this cute second chance love story! The narration is wonderful! Her accents are very well done.

wish Lemon demonstrated more growth

I am so disappointed with Lemon in this story. She is immature and judgmental and her inner thoughts are so self-contratictory and hypocritical that I couldn't stand to listen anymore. I made it through chapter 12 hoping Lemon would start to develop and grow, but was disappointed and had to stop. Despite her repeated declarations regarding the depravity of Dante's character, there really is no evidence presented in support of those assertions aside from vague references to online news articles and his womanizing past. No tangible first hand evidence is presented. I am confident that she will eventually come around in the end; however, her journey is not enjoyable to me.

Funny, Emotional Romance with an Interesting Trope

I really enjoyed this book, more than the first in this series. The Lemon character is magnetic and very funny and sympathetic. Her snarky humor was a highlight of the book. The book was very romantic and this balanced with her snarky commentary seemed the perfect balance. The performance by Cristina Panfilio was excellent. I would highly recommend the book.

Loved the book, the audible was perfect!

Already a fan of the writer and this series, I thought I’d try out the audible and was not let down in the least. Ms. Panfilio’s performance was spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed her take on all the characters. I especially enjoyed the way she portrayed Dante *swoon* thank you for bringing him to life in my ears. The timber of the voice and accent when he spoke was tantalizing. Who wouldn’t wish they were Limone?
