Royally Pucked

By: Pippa Grant

Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Virginia Rose

Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's Summary

A hockey-playing prince, a most improper lady, and one accidental pregnancy....

When you’re an heir so spare that getting attacked by a shark is more likely than you ever wearing the crown, you’re only allowed certain liberties. Yet still, those liberties can bite you in the ass.

Good thing I’m such a charming devil.

Even then, I’ve been banished to America for a year under the pretense of playing professional hockey while my father cleans up my latest mess. But trouble follows me wherever I go. Generally trouble of the beautiful female variety, and Gracie Diamonte is no exception. Or possibly, she’s the best exception.

Until the dinosaur suit. The cookie incident. And the accidental pregnancy.

Of course I’ll do the right thing.

Just as soon as I solve that pesky problem of my royal betrothal.

I’m about to be the biggest scandal to rock my country, and there’s a good chance my father may throw me to the sharks after all. The funny thing is I’ve heard that raising children may not be so different from swimming with the sharks. So no matter how you look at things, I am Royally Pucked.

Royally Pucked is a hilariously wrong romance between a spare heir and the lady least likely to ever wear a princess crown, complete with dirty cookies, an emotional support monkey, and lots of pucking around. This romantic comedy stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers and ends happily with a family of...more than two.

Not everything about being a prince is charming

Stuck in a loveless engagement, hockey player and spare heir Prince Manning finds love in the least likely of places.
Gracie a dyslexic baker of racy cookies in a small southern town turns out to be just his cup of tea.
Do they make it to their happy ending? Only one way to find out. Worth the read.

Royally Pucked!

Totally loved the way Gracie stood up to royal father! Showing her spunk ROYALLY

Story & Performance, loved it!

Author and voice talent are on point. Laugh out loud funny as you would expect from Piper. Not to release any spoilers, you will love and respect the characters and the way they figure out how to handle the situation they find themselves in.

omg!!!!!

This was a really funny read!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t think i laughed so hard in my life.

not as funny but still just as good.

this one is more on the serious side of Pippa Grant's books. but I loved it.

This book is awesome and the narration was wonderful

Classic Pippa G folks! And Jacob Jacob Jacob.......what can I say except “Oh how I love thee let me count the ways.” You enjoy this book. It’s worth the money and the credit.

One of my most favorite stories

An updated version of the Prince and the pauper, with a sexy, hilarious, and emotional twist. Jacob Morgan does an awesome British accent as Manning, love the light hearted feel good, laugh out loud moments that Pippa bringsout in her characters. Virginia Rose is the perfect Gracie and both narrators do an awesome job with supporting characters. This is one of those stories you can listen or read over and over again. I highly recommend this one.

Fun, Steamy Rom Com!

You know when you pick up a Pippa Grant story it is going to be loaded with fun, crazy shenanigans, and lovable characters and Gracie and Manning’s story was all of that. I could not get enough of this book and loved every moment. The audio was narrated by Jacob Morgan and Virginia Rose and they both did an amazing job. I love Virginia in comedy roles plus Jacob Morgan with an accent. Definitely worth a listen or read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I originally read the little summary of the book and seen it was about someone getting pregnant I was like great it’s another one of these books but this book was definitely not like any I have listened to before. Definitely worth it I quiet enjoyed it.

Sweet Royal Romance!

This is the second book in the Copper Valley Thrusters Series. I love Royally Romance! Gracie and Manning's story is hilarious, sweet, and sexy. Manning is a hockey-player, and a prince. He is handsome, and caring. Gracie, a baker, is lovely, feisty, and independent. They are opposites attract, and they are perfect together. Their story is beautifully written, and really sweet. The supporting characters are great! The Epilogues are hilarious! Jacob Morgan and Virginia Rose did a fantastic job with the narration. Jacob Morgan's accent is very pleasant to listen to. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to more in the series.

Accents aside I love this

This review is a mix, I first read this on KU, then bought and reread then got the audio. So it's in 3 stages. :)

Loved this, couldn't put it down but at least this time I wasn't sat on a train surrounded by business men whole trying to stifle my giggles.

I am going to sleep now, there was no stopping me before. I may add more tomorrow.

So here's my actual review ;)


This is part of a series, it's probably best to read in order but not necessary. They're funny, they're naughty they're great, they're also embarrassing to read in public (I read them all on trains) because you sniggering, guffaw, gasp, chuckle and go ping when things get saucy. Well worth it.

This one has royalty, sheep, accidental pregnancy, cookies, hockey players and a monkey.

I love these books. I got them on KU first but have ended up buying them all to keep because they're so funny.

Edited to add

I don't get the accent used on the audio, I understand why it was chosen but being a Brit my brain says "that's from there" I think it needed to be a little more RP for me. I've reread it a row times and it takes a while for me to get into because it's such a regional accent.

I do want a Honey Badger phone app, it'd be so useful.

Standalone in a series

I love all the characters in these books. A true romcom. Very low angst. There is a crazy betrothed with a monkey, a royal family, inappropriate cookies, hockey players, a kick a$$ sister, and lots of friends and family. The narration was great! I definitely recommend this book. 🎧Audiobook Obsession

A great addition to this fabulous series

Oh Pippa you have outdone yourself with this hilarious romcom. This series just gets better and better. Gracie and Manning get their turn for romance ❤ overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds they find their HEA. Absolutely loved the narrators especially Jacob who has an amazing swoonworthy voice 💕💕💕 I wish I could give it 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hockey & Cookies!

Whenever I need to relax, fall in love and just laugh, I know I can count on Pippa Grant. Every time I find myself falling into a story with good friends and a lot of laughs. Royally Pucked is especially good because of the amazingly strong heroine. Meet Gracie. A baker by trade, she hooks up with hockey player, Manning and later finds is pregnant. Manning is no ordinary hockey player, but Prince, with royal obligations and expectations. Determined to raise the baby alone, she finds herself in the midst of a wonderful love story. Now Grant doesn't just let it slowly unfold and let them easily get to their happy ending. We have pranks, and cookies, and the betrothed and family and hockey players all bringing us into the story full force. Laughing and falling in love is the best feeling, and she does it again for me with this one! The Copper Valley Thrusters are a team to follow!

Grant picks the best narrators for her stories. Jacob Morgan comes in with an accent that is swoony and heart melting. Virginia Rose shines as the feisty, Gracie. I enjoyed their comedic timing how their voices complimented each other. It was a great listen!

Great job bringing the ebook to life

I really liked the ebook when I read it a while ago but when I had the opportunity to listen to the ebook, I jumped at it because, well, Jacob Morgan. He affected this beautiful accent and I can just listen to him speaking for hours. Oh wait, I just did! ha No seriously, I am always impressed at how these narrators (Jacob Morgan and Virginia Rose) move so smoothly from voice to voice, male or female. The narration was excellent and truly elevated this adorable story.

This story itself is so fun. Manning is a prince but he's like 5th in line so he's allowed to play hockey for the Thrusters. What that means is we get to see some of the characters we love- Ares and Zeus, Murphy, etc. And i love revisiting our favorite cast of wacky characters. He meets and falls instantly for Gracie. They have one night together and oops, Gracie finds herself in the family way. But Manning has to deal with the responsibilities of royalty, including an arranged marriage. How do they overcome the obstacles to be together? It was a funny but also so sweet path to their HEA.
