The man had the sultriest British accent I’ve ever heard. And he looked like he just walked off a Viking boat and into a suit tailored specifically for his impressively muscular frame. The only problem is, he had the warmth of an ice pick and he kept telling me he was here to take me back to his home country.
Of course, I didn’t follow him. I might be up for a good time, but I’m also educated enough to know leaving with a stranger isn’t smart. Well, that’s until he mentioned my mom’s name. My mom passed away several years ago.
So after some serious fact-checking, my bikini-clad bum went with him to a sub-arctic country I had never heard of just north of the British Isles, where I found out my grandpa was the king of the said freezing country, and I was the one and only heir.
Desperate to learn more about my mom, I decided to give this princess thing a chance.
Good idea, right? Wrong.
Because Mr. Ice Pick was put to the task of training me and he’s not just cold as ice, he’s pompous, aggravating, and possessive. And did I mention we have to share a bathroom in a tiny castle?
We are oil and water every single day and even though he’s training me to be queen, I have this simmering desire to kneel before him.

Royally Not Ready by Meghan QuinnOnce again the author has shown us why she is the queen of romantic comedy books. Every time I read je of her books I feel like I should be watching the movie because these books definitely deserve to be made into romantic comedies and I would definitely be watching and they would be on every ones lists they are so good. This one was just so freaking funny I absolutely loved Lilly omg she had me laughing so much I looked like a crazy person. So I recommend read at home. I loved every single interaction between Lilly and Timmy I mean talk about freaking hilarious. Loved how Lilly would push Keller’s buttons from day one. She doesn’t honor back and I love that about her. Love the king and queen and the bond they have with Keller and the one they form with their Lilija. There was so many secondary characters that made the book so much better and that you can’t help but love and want to know more about. For example Lara I kinda need to know what happens with her because now I’m invested and after what happens with Brimar I just need to know. Then we Han Runa we meet her briefly but she definitely makes an impact and I can’t help but want her to be happy so I also need to know she gets her happiness. I also kinda want to know what happens to Henrik and to Timmy I know I know but I get invested in these characters. I blame the author she writes so beautifully she leaves you wanting more from her characters after you finish her books. I loved loved this book and cannot recommend enough and look forward to what is next from this amazing author.

No cliffhangerStandalone though it looks like more books are comingTold from both POVsWhile this book is long, every page is worth it. I was hooked from the first chapter and didn’t want it to end.Lilly owns a bikini wagon and runs wet tshirt contests in Miami. She is the last person you would think would be in line to the thrown of a country, and she felt the same way, until Keller shows up out of the blue to bring her home so their country’s leadership isn’t lost when the king dies.From the moment they meet they butt heads, but they also can’t deny the attraction they have for one another. Keller fights it with everything he has, and Lilly being Lilly decides breaking his will will keep her entertained through all the training she has to go through to eventually be queen.This is definitely the hottest book this author has ever written and when I say I’m here for more of it, I mean that with everything I have. I need more men like Keller!!! He’s a strong, protective alpha who wants to own you in the bedroom but also writes poetry to get his emotions out since he isn’t good at speaking about them.I absolutely loved this book and it might just be my favorite ever by this author!

DEAR GOD. This book had me laughing out loud to panting from how hot the sex scenes were. This has a grown up, dirty humor, steamy version of Princess Diaries vibes….and I am here. for. it. The fact that this book is so steamy, hilarious, and has an interesting plot and story line give it an instant five stars.I didn’t sleep last night because I couldn’t put it down. I was planning on reading the first couple chapters before bed but it was too good.Kellen is definitely at the top of my favorite book boyfriends. He is protective, dominant, sweet, and the physical image I have of him is insane. Lilly is an American wild child who is shocked to find out she’s a princess and has family. The banter between the two is one of the best I’ve read in a steamy romcom.Am I getting the audiobook now? Yes. Am I going to buy a physical copy of the book even though I have it on my kindle? Yes. Does that makes sense? Probably not but I don’t even care. GIVE ME MORE.This book has:sexual tensionenemies to loverswitty bantergrumpy/sunshineoff the charts chemistryrom comdirty talkdual POV

This was one of the funniest books I’ve read this year. It definitely have me Princess Diaries vibes right off the bat. It was funny, romantic, angsty, and had enough little gestures to add up to one epic apology tour.Lilly, the last heir to the throne of Torskethorpe, has been living in the dark her entire life. After she was orphaned she opened a bikini truck with her best friend and is living her life in Miami, meanwhile Keller Fitzwilliam, who was also orphaned at a young age, is sent by King Theo to find Lilly, bring her back to Torskethorpe, and train her to be the royal she was always meant to be. Both Lilly and Keller have a lot of baggage to unpack. There were times I wanted to strangle Keller. Although his loyalty was admirable, it was also holding him back. When he finally gave in to Lilly’s seduction I wanted to cheer out loud.Keller and Lilly were the seemingly perfect match. They had so much in common but what really made them perfect were their differences and how they balanced each other out. Although I typically don’t like the third quarter break up, I felt it was entirely necessary to this story. Lilly needed to know that while she wanted Keller by her side, she could be a queen on her own.I loved this book. It was so fun while also touching on some heavier topics at the same time. I thought Lilly’s sunshine to Keller’s grump was perfect and their banter was hilarious. I loved all the side characters, and even though I figured out who the villain of the story was, it was very well written and kept me reading from page one.

As a Fan of the Author I thought this would be another RomCom story. But it’s much more than that! Lilly lost both her parents & is living in Miami selling bikinis out of a truck with her best friend Timmy Tuna. But all that changes when she is told she is the Granddaughter of King Theodore of Torskethorpe. And Lilly is the only heir to inherit the throne. The King had sent his private secretary Keller Fitzwilliam to Miami to find Lilly & bring her back to his country so she can be schooled to become a Princess. Lilly is desperate to have some relatives so she decides to go meet her Grandparents & experience what life is like in Torskethorpe. So what follows is how Lilly is kept isolated in a castle with Keller as her teacher & she eventually meets her Grandparents & the citizens of their country. I just wish we didn’t have to wait until January of 2023 to read the next book about Lilly & Keller!

Royally Not Ready is a perfect mix of Princess Diaries and Fifty Shades of Grey ?. The country is at risk of losing the crown. The only one who can help maintain it is the long lost heir, Lilly, or Lilija. It’s Keller’s job as the King’s right hand man to find Lilly. Find her he does, in Miami, is a less than royal act. ? ? turns out Keller’s biggest problem isn’t getting her to come with him, it’s not falling in love with her.Starting as enemies, their tension was through the rough! It was a moderate burn, but dam with all that tension, it read like a slow burn. ? When they finally gave in….. ?. In comes the Fifty Shades….. while Keller is training Lilly to become the next Queen, in the bedroom, Keller gets to be in charge.Lilly, was brought up American and lived her life to the fullest as many Americans do. She always felt like a part of herself was missing. Torskethorpe just so happened to fulfill that feeling. Between Keller and finding her grandparents her heart was full!I loved these two together. The book definitely gave me moments that I couldn’t stop laughing!!! However, that leak in the end…. Damn, didn’t see that one coming. Plus, I’m glad Keller was finally able to get his head off of his a$$, but seeing the candid discussions with him and the king was amazing as well!Would highly recommend for a light read full of heat and laugher!

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Trope: royal romance, enemies to lovers, romcomAngst: ????Smexy: ????”???? ???. ?????? ???’? ???? ? ?????. ??’? ? ????, ????? ?????… ??? ???? ????.”Meghan Quinn really delivers some laughs on her version of a super smexy My Fair Lady which just so happens to be one of my faves ❤️. Lilly is a very strategically pierced, free spirit who is living her best life in Miami, spraying down contestants in wet T-shirt contests when Keller Fitzwilliam crashes her life and blows up everything she thinks she knows about her family. Keller is tasked with bringing her back to a grandfather she didn’t know she had, to a country she’s never heard of, to potentially become heir to their thrown. Keller’s just got to get her “presentable” first. Lilly’s bubbly personality ends up being Keller’s downfall, but will his insecurities get in the way of their happily ever after?”????? ?? ?? ?????? ????, ???? ? ???? ??? ??????? ????? ?? ??? ??? ??? ??. ???’?? ??? ?????? ? ????? ???? ? ??????. ??? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ??????. ???? ????? ?? ???? ???? ????? ?? ???? ???? ??????????? ???? ???????? ???? ?? ???? ??????. ??? ? ???’? ???? ???? ?? ?? ????? ?? ????? ???? ???? ??? ??? ?? ????? ?? ????.”Royally Not Ready was just a super cute read that gives some great laughs and leaves you with the warm fuzzies. Great storyline with quite a few laugh out loud moments and a twist I didn’t see coming. Lilly is just hysterical and unlike anyone Keller has ever met before. She tends to fill in silence with word vomit that leans to the super crass end of the spectrum, lol. She’s sassy, but vulnerable and that vulnerability makes the protector in Keller break every rule he has. Keller is the super alpha protector, but he also has the soul of an artist and he can be insecure at times. It made him super relatable and likable despite his screw ups. I felt good about the grovel and grand gesture(s) and finished the book with all the warm fuzzies. Royal romances aren’t my favorite, but this one definitely shined!

Audiobook 5/5 stars: I didn’t know what I was going to expect in this book. I figured to have another rom-com or tear your heart out by Meghan Quinn but man, this one truly did more for me. I love how the writing described the scenery….as if you were there! The old kingdom, the old abandoned cold castle, to the woods, fish cod lake, and etc. I love how it’s enemies to lovers, giggles all around, and how deep (physically to emotionally) the connection is between the hero and heroine, Keller & Lilly. I mean, it’s like Princess Diaries “for only adults.” Haha. The author did describe this book as a mixture of Princess Diaries, My fair lady, & 50 Shades of Grey. She was truly on point!!! Emma Wilder narrated Lillly and I just love how she portrayed her as a bubbly, sarcastic, and endearing person. She unexpectedly didn’t know she was royal & will become a future Queen of Torskethorpe but to be one, she has to act like one. She is far from it and so, here comes Keller, who will save the day. Who is he? Well, first off, John Hartley narrated Keller and I just love how he portrayed him as the sweetest, grumpiest, & yet, the sexiest bad boy alpha alive! He will protect her ‘til the time for her to step it up as Queen. These two, I swear, the chemistry was off the hook with their push & pull sexual intense moments!!! Man, it was the cat’s meow!!! They were such a fantastically entertaining audio duet! Thank you so much, Emma for your most fun-loving & hilarious performance as John for your most swoon-worthy & wicked performance.After I finished this book, I felt all the warm fuzzies. I am truly happy having this audiobook considering I know I’ll listen to it again. I just love the silly banters, grand gestures, and lol, I have to say it, the likable screw ups along their journey. So, if you truly dig a lot of angst, heartache, funny bits, and an epic royal sexy fairytale story…I mean, the full package of romance, this is it!!!

Meghan Quinn just wrote an epic story about a future Queen and the man meant to train her to be the best Queen for Torskethorpe. Lilly is a woman living in Miami working at a Bikini Wagon when one day a man in a suit, Keller, shows up to bring her to Torskethorpe to meet her long lost grandparents. It isn’t until they arrive at Castle there that she learns that she isn’t just there to meet her grandparents, she is being asked to be the next Queen since she is the final heir to the thrown.From the very beginning it is clear that Lilly is an American with a lack of filter. She would say anything and everything that came to mind while training to be Queen with Keller and her two Royal guards. I loved that part of her self assigned prep work for becoming Queen was to watch The Crown and Bridgerton. She constantly made references to the shows because she knew it irked Keller, which lead to the amazing “Informative” reports! The banter between Lilly and Keller throughout the beginning of the book provided so much tension that you just knew it would be perfect when they finally made the leap with each other!Meghan Quinn did an amazing job describing what the palaces and landscape looked like, I could picture everything so clearly as I read the book. I have a feeling we know who the next book “Royally in Trouble” will be about and I cannot wait!!Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?Scene: Torskethorpe Quiz
