Royal Line

Tattered Royals, Book 1

De: Carrie Ann Ryan, Nana Malone

Narrado por: Lacy Laurel, Graham Halstead

A princess on the run finds her version of a prince in this epic beginning to the Tattered Royals stand-alone series.

I never asked for my tiara.

My dreams were always bigger than a palace. They're as big as the world.

Being fourth in line for the throne should have guaranteed me freedom.
I thought I was one step from walking away forever, but a long-forgotten rule forces me to run instead.

I refuse to marry a Duke and bear an heir to save our titles.

I trust my brothers to find a way to save my future, but first, I need to save myself.

Only, I never expected to meet danger...and Kannon Adams along the way.

I never asked for her.

My security business has secured all the clueless princess types I can handle. Princess London Waterford of Alden is a whole other level of trouble.

Not to mention gorgeous and tempting as royal sin. Too bad she’s also in danger. When the bullets fly, I trust no one else to protect her, even if she pushes me away.

Together, we must find who's behind the threat to her life and try not to get caught in the crossfire.

One night together might never be enough, but if those who want her dead have a say, it’ll be our last.

Royally Torn

I am really torn writing this review. I both read the book and listened to it. I enjoyed reading it more.

I enjoyed the story of Kannon and London together. I enjoyed how they met, how they proceed, and all the ups and downs of their relationship. I enjoyed the side characters including those who work with Kannon and London's brothers, and I look forward to the next in the series.

What I really didn't like was the narration. I thought the female voice was too mature sounding for the words she was reading and the accent she chose was difficult to listen to. The male voice was ok.

All-in-all, I think this one was much more enjoyable as a read, not as a listen.

Royal Line

This is an interesting story. Drama at the court of Alden had London fleeing like a thief in the night but someone knows and has made it their mission to get her out of the way. Lucky for London the right man just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Keeping London safe brings out something in Kannon and soon emotions enter the picture. Kannon may have saved London that night but his past still haunts him. The two are good together but Kannon must forgive his past if he wants to look towards any kind of future. As the two try to figure out how they fit together they must also find out who is after London and why. Their story moves at a good pace and has a nice mix of mystery and angst. Narrators Lacy Laurel and Graham Halstead brought emotion to the story but I was not fond of some of the voices used for the characters.

amazing story

Omg Carrie Ann Ryan anf Nana Malone sure know how to team up and write an amazing story. You are sucked in and spit it none the wiser on the fact it is a duo written story. The characters and plot build is simply amazing and keeps you turning the page. I absolutely enjoyed this and recommend you go forth and read this.

The narration to this is so awesome to listen to. I really enjoy this. Go forth and listen or read.

Bodyguard and opposites attract

I love the unconventional ways that Carrie Ann Ryan and Nana Malone bring in to make this a bodyguard trope come to life. I really love how head strong the FMC is and how she stands her ground all while protecting her family to the best of her ability. London is a princess with ideas of what life should be like for her and will not listen to the no her family tries to tell her. The pairing of these main characters brings another level to opposites attract as well.
The narrators gave these characters full personalities through their voices.

Loved it!

I don't usually like romances with royalty BUT I loved this one. London and Kannon made me fall in love with this book. They were such well written characters who I became really invested in. I also loved the secondary characters in this book. I could see each one getting their own story..
I also loved the accents used in this story. They were well done and totally fit the characters. That can make or break and audiobook in my opinion. I will be listening to this one again.

Royal Line

I enjoyed the story and the characters, I didn't like the female narrator very much doing this story, the male narrator was good

Meh....

I have read a lot of books by Carrie Ann Ryan and loved all of them but this just did not do anything for me. Maybe it was the female narrator., I struggled with her in this book! The heroine just came off as bitchy to me through out the book and I just didn’t feel the chemistry between the 2 main characters.

Great Start to the series

What do you do when you turn twenty-nine and find out that the world as you know can possibly change in a year if you or your siblings don't bare an heir to the thrown? You run of course...LOL

The story line of a Princess and her Security/Bodyguard falling in love is not one I have read about often but this has a few major differences. First off Kannon runs a security company but he is not her bodyguard and second is the major plot twist to the story...who is trying to kill the Princess.

Kannon and London have an instant attraction but as bullets fly around them you wonder how they are going to make it through let alone begin a relationship. This was a great start to a new series collaboration between Carrie Ann Ryan and Nana Malone. I have read a TON of Carrie Ann's books but I haven't read any of Nana's yet and for me to say that I couldn't tell who wrote what part will tell you what a wonderful collaboration this is.

I did receive an ARC copy of this book but since Real Life got in the way I wasn't able to read it before the release date so I purchased the audiobook version once it was available and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lacy Laurel and Graham Halstead did a wonderful job bringing this story to life.

If you enjoy Steamy Contemporary Romances, or Royalty Romances I would recommend this book to you.

Happy Reading!!!

A new series & Royals...gotta love it!!

This was filled with excitement and danger, with a Princess on the run while bad guys chased after her, and the head of a security company coming to her rescue. Not to mention a lot of chemistry between the two. When they’re not fighting each other (and how they’re feeling), they’re trying to figure out who’s out to get Princess London. And Kannon won’t give up until him & his team figures it out. And wait until you see that bit of a twist. It’ll definitely spin your head. And Graham Halsted & Lacy Laurel did a great job narrating. Can’t wait for the next one!

Different Worlds

This was the first royal book I've listened to, and I really enjoyed the story. There was action, suspense, drama, and of course, romance. However, though I enjoyed the story, I struggled with the narration as Lacy's attempt to sound royal missed its mark. Graham was new to me, and I really enjoyed his narration.
