Publisher's summary

Getting close to an arrogant bad boy like him is dangerous. Too bad it's her only choice.

Kain Badd looks great on paper: rich, handsome, and he's even a prince. But after spending a few minutes together, Sammy sees the real him - arrogant, possessive, and too hot for his own good. If she hadn't agreed to help plan his sister's wedding, she could have avoided him. Instead, she's waking up in his bed after an unforgettable night she definitely wants to forget. But he won't let her.

When Sammy thinks her life can't get any crazier, the wedding is raided by the police, and she spends her first-ever night in jail. The irresistible Kain isn't just bad in name - his family is connected to a dangerous underworld. Now she's mixed up in a power struggle between his family's empire and their rivals. She has no choice but to put herself back in this filthy prince's extremely capable hands.

Sammy must trust Kain to keep her safe. She's just not sure she can trust herself to resist temptation.

Royally Bad is royally cute!

I wasn't sure what to think in the beginning. I was looking forward Prince Charming...

What I got was Bad. 😘 His name isn't charming but in an over the top arrogant playboy way... he is. This is Cinderella's story is a twilight zone.

This cute and often amusing tale kept a smirk on my face and a twinkle of wonder in my eyes. There's enough speculation to keep mystery lovers intrigued throughout.

Pretty good

The plot was good with lots of suspense. Kain and Sammy were likeable characters and the Badd family were interesting. The romance of the story was a little too slow and bland. There were so much going on behind the scene which overshadowed the romance development. The narration by Kendall Taylor and Jeremy York was great which made a great listening experience.

Great Romantic Suspense! Steamy and Funny!

This is the first book in the Bad Boy Royals Series. This Romantic Suspense is entertaining, fast-paced and action-packed. The storyline is filled with a suspense, but also a lot of steamy scenes. Some scenes are also really funny. Kain Badd and Sammy share an instant attraction and their chemistry is strong. Sammy is a strong, independent and feisty woman, who cares about her mom. She's also a little reckless. Kain is a bad boy prince, rich and handsome. He's strong and very possessive and protective with Sammy. His family controls the town and they are connected to a dangerous underworld. Sammy get trapped between Kain's family and their rivals. Sammy seems to have no idea where she has set her foot. At first, I didn't really like Kain, but my mind changed along my listening. I like how the author has build this world. The Secondary characters are also very interesting: Sammy's Mom (she's hilarious!), and Kain's Brothers (Costello and Hawthorne) and their sister! I can't wait for the next book in the Series, Costello's story. This was my first listen to Kendall Taylor. She has a great voice. Jeremy York is one of my favorite narrators. He has a sexy and beautiful voice. The narration was well done and easy to listen. I really enjoyed my listening.

Not as Bad as I wanted

Although I enjoyed listening to this book I really wish that Kain was badder. He was not a leader or a self-made badass. He reminded me of a little kid. The dad is definitely in charge here. I wonder about the oldest sister too. I'm going to read the next book to see if it gets better but if not I'll probably stop listening at book 2.

Good Entertainment

This book was enjoyable steamy love story. Overall it was good, even if plot left questions and sometimes felt little slow. But I liked the main characters and their crazy love story. Performance was good. This is good relaxing book to pass your time or to relax. It will not rock your world, but it gives you great way of escaping your everyday life.

Royally Bad

I loved this book in the context of `Bad boy falls hard for good girl` romances. The family business gave it just enough mystery to bind the romance together. My pet peeve in these romances is that the heroine always wants to get away. It's like they can't put 2 and 2 together to get, I might just get killed or get my family killed if I don't stay put. But all in all, I liked it.
