Tall, Royal Hater
You are cordially invited on a royal vacation with friends, family, and foes…
A vacation with royalty is a once in a lifetime experience. So, when Mariyah Levine’s best friend—the Crown Princess of Jahandar—invites her to holiday with her royal boyfriend and his family, Mariyah obviously agrees. Who bloody cares about being a third-wheel? It’s the perfect excuse to get away from the job she hates and the burden of unspoken family expectations. Even if she has to spend the next twelve days sleeping in the room opposite the man she hates most in the world.
Bodyguard and private secretary to the Crown Princess of Jahandar, Shehryar Timur has no choice but to tag along on the two friends’ holiday. But five years of putting up with Mariyah’s menacing attitude doesn’t prepare him for two weeks in her close proximity. With every clash and angry exchange, pretending to be civil becomes increasingly impossible. But when his mother and her fiancé drop a surprise wedding on them, it’s Mariyah he’s forced to team up with to plan the private ceremony.
Heated words are traded, and insults are thrown, but in the hidden corners of the palace, the passion in their arguments changes into something they’ve both been denying for years. Gazes drop to lips. Pushing hands begin to pull. But the celebrations are haunted by ghosts from Shehryar’s childhood, and it might just be the one thing that stops the fine line between love and hate from fading.
Tall, Royal Hater is a spicy, hate-to-love, contemporary romance between an irritable bodyguard and a princess’s sassy best friend.

About the author
Nylah Monroe
3 books145 followersNylah Monroe is a born and bred city girl from London, UK, who writes contemporary, slightly over the top romance books with a sprinkle of emotional damage, romcom fairy dust, and a bucket full of spice.
A lover of winter, coffee, and cats, she is a sucker for a heartfelt, fluffy, or angsty romance and a solid book boyfriend (human or otherwise), but has hyper-independent, eldest-daughter syndrome in real life. It’s probably why she likes age-gap and hate-to-love romances so much…
When she isn’t working, writing, or dreaming up more characters and plots than she has time to write, she is out book shopping, sitting in a café with a friend, or is impulsively finding a new introvert hobby to try—recently that’s been crocheting.

🔹 Tropes:
〰 Hate to love
〰 Best friend’s bodyguard/kind of brother
〰 Forced proximity
〰 Planning a wedding together
〰 Royal setting/background
〰 Abandonment issues
〰 Jealousy/possessiveness
〰 Third act breakup with groveling
I actually think a lot of romance readers would love this author, I’m surprised she’s not more well known tbh. Although I don’t think I loved this one as much as the first installment, I do think that this author has become an auto-buy author for me for when I need a light fuzzy and cute contemporary romance. I had a few issues with this book (for ex: I found Sheri to be a bit immature at times and I didn’t always agree with Mariyah’s stance on things) but it’s still worth mentioning that I will certainly be reading the third book (don’t know who it’s about). All I can say though is that; if the third storyline follows Kareem then I really really hope we don’t get a cheating or other woman kind of situation😅 Anyway, I might write a full review for this later… we’ll see how I feel lmao.

First I would like to thank the author for providing me with an ARC. I really appreciate it and am one of the lucky ones to have gotten the chance to read this masterpiece before the rest of the world does (don't mind me, I'd like to think I was of the chosen ones hehe)
As we can see from the title, Tall, Royal HATER, we were expected to read enemies to lovers of some sort and oh lord, did we not read that! The beginning of their hate was smooth, touching and completely understandable. The way words of loath were exchanged between Mariyah and Shehryar thoroughly delivered the definition of hate. Not to mention the fact that the writing also helped with this whole delivering process. Not only the written words transferred the hatred between the main characters, they also bled the intimacy between them into my head which was so very touchable. The connection and the chemistry that dangled between Mariyah and Shehryar were so sensible that I couldn't help but imagine myself thoroughly as Mariyah (and no, I don't blonde hair. Nor do I have blue eyes) but lordie lordie loooooorrrrddd, the toe-curling chemistry of them was undeniably amazing.
The dialogues were witty, the side characters were consistent and written with a great amount of wisdom and I just loved how they were written and simply, I wish they were real in this reality too but... oh well!
There were some scenes that I thought were a bit unnecessarily long and they could have been cut short a little though the author's writing style made every second of it worth it. At some point throughout the storyline, Mariyah was a bit too uptight and even though her reason was understandable, she didn't let loose even a tiny bit and this threw me off slightly along with the fact that Shehryar's mother was so adamant to tell her son ANYTHING. I had beef with that and I just wanted to shake the woman and be like: OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE WHO YOU ARE IGNORING, MOTHER!! Some words and some phrases were repeated a few more times than my liking but it's a me problem so obviously I would like for you to neglect this part of the review. Also since Mariyah and Shehryar were both assigned to take care of his mother's wedding, we got rare chance of them working together on it and I would have loved to read their banter throughout this process.
But you know what made up for all of it? Shehryar GROVELLING!!! Despite this little voice in me that tells me he might make the same mistake in the future, I am fully assured that he knows how to compensate for his wrongs and just be on his knees!! Fucking HOT!
I did expect the second book to be good though I didn't expect it to absorb every cell of my brain and inject its memory into my brain. I really really really enjoyed this book and if you don't think about picking it up, I apologize, but you are an idiot. GO ORDER THE BOOK NOW!
P.S. I hope the next book is Kareem's book. Nylah showed me how she imagined him and let's just say that I had to change clothes after seeing him. OKAY I'M DONE. BYE.

The way this book had me clutching my pearls because I couldn’t believe how spicy it was!?😳 I love this fictional world that Nylah has built, & am always transported to these royal places that she has created when I read her books.
Mariyah is ballsy, snarky, confident, fierce, & keeps her head held high. Shehriyar is jealous, angry, bossy, & grumpy, & together these qualities make him come across as an asshole. These two are both incredibly stubborn & hotheaded so they’re constantly butting heads, bickering & arguing. There is so much animosity & anger between them initially, so to watch their relationship slowly develop into something sweeter was really cute. Their dynamic was explosive & hot. Mariyah knows what she wants and I absolutely adored the way she didn’t let Sheri get away with shit so easily, & I devoured Sheri’s grovelling🤭
Thank you the Nylah for the arc💜

February 14, 2025Trigger or content warning? Yes, included in book.
Details?
FMC’s name is Mariyah. She is 23 years old for the majority of the book.
MMC’s name is Shehyar and he is 27 for the majority of the book.
In the prologue Shehyar is 22 years old and Mariyah is 18 years old.
Both have been with others since meeting.
No OW drama in book.Mentions of his past and how he has been called Daddy before. He has not had sex in over a year. OM drama. Mariyah shows interest in King Kareem and it makes Shehyar upset. She lies and said she slept with the King, but he knows that it is a lie. There are two other characters- Pierre and Candy. Both are apart of the friend group of the MMC of the first book. this causes intense jealousy from Shehyar. There is a scene where Mariyah gives Candy a lap dance and Shehyar sees and he gets extremely jealous.
No condoms are used.
My thoughts?
Included the details of this book because I wanted to make note for anyone who may be interested, but I also need to stress that there is a scene in chapter 12. Shehyar grabs Mariyah and refuses to let go even when she tells him to. I believe I found this scene so distressing because he was so mean to her up until this point. He also shoved her up against a car and her head had bumped up against the car and he didn’t care. In chapter 12 he had just made another horrible comment to her, all while she was trying to help plan his mom’s wedding. My original review about this book was long, and angry, and filled with a lot of cuss words. Specifically about the first 40% of the book. I actually had to take a break after it, and then continued the story. It was weird because that choice made it two different experiences while reading this book. Which makes me upset because Shehyar begging for her forgiveness at the end? Beautiful. Yearning. The pining was wonderful. Tying it together with the first 40% is a painful thing to do, because I hated that version of Shehyar. He was judgemental, rude, and had a not-in-a-fun-way stick up his butt. While Mariyah gave it as good as she got, I found it to be in a way of survival instead of it coming naturally.
I’m definitely interested in the future books in this series, even with how mixed up my experience was with this book.

There is a line between assault and consensual rough s*x and this author straddled it in a way that made me uncomfortable. Almost a DNF for me but once I got through the first (nonconsensual??) scene it got better. I think? I may come back to this review at a later time.

November 19, 2024
Thank you Nylah Monroe for this ARC.
Is this enemies to lovers or hate to love cuz I absolutely devoured this book. And won't ever forget it.
Mariyah and Shehryar's hatred began 5 years ago when they said something they shouldn't. But after those years when they met again they are forced to work together, meeting face to face. What do you think will happen this time ?
I want to say that I enjoyed my time reading this masterpiece. The mocking, teasing, provocation, and subtle change in feelings and in between that got them together.
Mariyah is a strong, confident, sassy person who will never give up or take upon people's orders. She is her own person.
Shehryar is a strong, kind and dominant man who will do anything for his loved ones. But also when the time he messed up during a certain situation. And did his best to make up even if it pained him. It took him many days to reconcile and make ammends. But at the end he was forgiven.
Both characters have a intense chemistry when together and they spiced things up, making it even more exciting 😮💨 ( the amount of spicy scenes left me hot and bothered 🥵)
It was a wonderful book and I'm glad to have read it. And has the most amazing world building.

💌 Hate to love
💌 Forced proximity
💌 A good amount of spice🔥
The book follows Mariyah and Shehryar who’ve hated each other for the last five years. Shehryar is the bodyguard (and a close family friend) of Esmeralda who is Mariyah’s best friend.
Firstly, I really loved Mariyah as the FMC - I thought she was a much more compelling FMC than Esmeralda in book 1. I thought she had great personality: she was so fun and sassy.
Also, the spice in this book is incredible! It’s surprisingly spicy (don’t judge the book by its cute cover) and I thought it was amazingly written.
I will also say that Nylah’s writing style is wonderful - it feels personal, natural and is just so fun to read!
With that said, I sadly did have a few issues with this one. Most prominently is the length - this book is just much much too long. While I did get through it pretty fast (which is due to Nylah’s great writing!), it’s so unnecessarily long. There are so many scenes that should’ve been edited shorter and completely deleted. I sadly think the book wanted to do a bit too much with side plots. I also found that many scenes were repetitive - so many party scenes where the side characters were so much up in Mariyah and Shehryar’s business, it was frustrating to read 10 variants of essentially the same scene. I also found that the main characters from book 1 took up too much of this book.
I think my second issue was that I never really liked Shehryar. I love a good enemies/hate to lovers, and I loved how they truly were enemies in this one. However, I really disliked his personality? He was just too judgmental and prejudiced for my liking. While he does grow, I just didn’t think it was enough and I think his starting point was a bit too much for my personal preference. At the end, I still thought Mariyah would be better off with someone else.
I want to say a huge thank you to Nylah K for sending me the eARC for this book in exchange for an honest review!

This wasn't what I expected 😱
I know a lot of people say romance books don't need 400+ pages (not me!). This book has over 600 and I wouldn't cut out a single one. It's happening so much and so intensely. And I love that. I love that the author didn't skip scenes. As I said, I don't think any of them could have been skipped. They were necessary.
Shehryar is WOW. Yes, I expect a bodyguard to be strong. To be self-confident and determined. That he is. And dominant 😎
But he is also sensitive. Yes, he grew up with royals, but he also got abandoned by his father when he was a little boy. And it sticks deep 😟
I loved his sensitive side, even though it brought a lot of trouble with it 🙈
The banter between these two is top-notch. It's definitely banter 2.0 🤣 This hate is so perfect 😁
Mariyah can be a bit mean, but she's just too funny with it 😎 And her 🥜 jokes 🤣 yes, I loved them. As well as her calling him Sheri. I mean, Shehryar is 6'5" tall and broad. I don't think anyone would mistake him for a woman 🙈
If you thought book 1 was k!nky... Then yeah, book 2 is even more 🤯🩷
I loved seeing all the characters from book one again because they are again in Touma visiting Prince Kai. And with that there is Gigi (Kai's grandmother). And yes, she did it again. She is so funny 🤣 She loves playing matchmaker even without being an actual matchmaker. She just speaks out what she is thinking 🙈 And she is VERY straight with that 😎
This book (as well as book one) doesn't have the typical HEA, but they have strong HFN 😁
And I hope there will be more books soon. I would loooove to read King Kareem's story 😍

Review: OMG!!! What did I just read? 650+ pages of pure deliciousness!!! 🥰🫶🏼 Nylah you have done it again I can’t get enough of your writing Sher and Mariyah were written to perfection and these two are my baby’s I LOVED THEM SOOOOO MUCH ❤️
Sher and Mariyah’s relationship was fireworks like literally 😂 their banter and hatred was just a step closer to them falling in love and that too HARD!!!! 😘🫶🏼 I treasured every single scene they had with each other they were magic together ✨
Sher is one jealous daddy and I lived for all his jealousy scenes 🤭 he was heads in love with Mariyah and wanted to make her his but as always it’s always denial at the beginning before they realise how much they mean to each other 😂 I absolutely adore his moments with Esmeralda they have such a beautiful brother/sister bond and Esmeralda and her meddling 😂😂 she just knew they were perfect for one another and gave them some nudges to push them together 💋🥰
GOD Mariyah is one of my fave FMC’s I’ve ever read this girl was a spite fire and she gave it as good as she got from Sher 💋 she never once backed down from him and went toe to toe with him which he secretly he loved 😮💨🥵🤭 their spicy scenes and all the daddy moments phewwww they had me fanning myself 🥵🥵🥵

I cannot wait to read whatever Nylah comes up with next but I desperately need King Kareem. Thank you so much for the ARC Nylah and happy release day 💜💜💜

I'M SO SAD I FINISHED THIS 😭
I actually expected them to get together faster since the first book was fast paced but the slow burn in this was perfect. I loved the dynamic of their relationship and how even when they're together it doesn't change e.g Shehryar's nickname is dickhead and Mariyah's is menace.
I think the book was more about Shehryar's struggles especially with overcoming his mum's relationship and the relationship with his father. Mariyah has her stress of hating her job but it wasn't as big of a dilemma as it was playing out to be. But I like that Shehryar was actually flawed and not a complete green flag (not necessarily a red flag either) and how he realises his flaws and changes.
There was also less emphasis on Shehryar being a bodygaurd in the book due to his mum and the fact that they were in Kai's residence but the first book set his character's tone well.
I love the jealousy between them and their inner dialogues. I'm not the biggest fan of spicy scenes but the switching of doms and subs in this relationship was *chef's kiss*. Also love how open Shehryar is, he isn't hiding his expressions constantly like Kai and is open to being vulnerable with his feelings despite being a bodygaurd.
Also, Esmeralda is beautiful in this book (iykyk)
I really really REALLY hope Kareem gets his own book!!!!

First of all it’s really hard to top the first one.
It’s helpful that this book is so much different than TRG.
TRG is like an adorable stuffed animal that is warm and fuzzy.
TRH is like “dammmmmnnnnnnnnnn”
The tension between Mariyah and Sher is thick enough to create its own climate. My stomach was clenched for almost the whole book. Probably the whole book.
It’s like what would happen if both characters were alphas but it’s also unique in that way. Not opposites attract, though they have differences, it was two strong personalities literally battling it out.
Which makes their coming together all that more meaningful because of the battle they endured.
The meddling side characters was the only reprieve to the continual tension between the two.
But when the tension finally catches fire there is nothing like it!
And if you thought TRG was SPICY then this is not even on the same scale.
NSFW indeed (but also read at work, at your own risk 🤷🏽♀️ as Mariyah would say, you do you)

I knew I had to pick this one up after TRG and I am so thankful that I got to read Mariyah and Sheri's story as an ARC reader! Thank you for the gifted copy, Nylah!
This is honestly true enemies to lovers! I didn't mind the misunderstanding either.
We got the angst, the heat and spice! Underneath it all, both Mariyah and Sheri are sweet hearts and I am glad they were able to stand up for themselves to those who belittled them! It was also very nice to see Esmeralda and Kai again! I love Ez and Mariyah's friendship so much, especially when they give each other sh*t haha!
Overall, I had a great time getting to know Mariyah and Sheri even though it got a little repetitive at times and they really were assholes to each other at the beginning haha. I am now super invested and curious about King Kareem and I hope he gets his book too! Perhaps he is the tall, royal lover?! Haha I can't wait to find out!

Had the pleasure of reading the ARC for it and it only reaffirms my belief that I’ll read anything Nylah writes. The witty banter between our leads was what I wanted from an enemies to lovers, and the smut was definitely smutting - a good read for those who love spicy scenes cause they were HOT!
That said, while I adore Nylah’s writing, the length may deter some from picking this book up. With the way the story is written, the MMC, Sheryhar, is one that grows on you. Coupled with the slow burn, it may deter some from persisting through it; but if you do pick this up, I urge you to stay till the end because those are some of my favorite scenes. Groveling + great smut + enemies to lovers = ❤️
Thank you Nylah for the ARC and I’m eagerly looking forward to the next in the series!

I probably liked the first one better BUT i still really enjoyed it AND it was everything that I needed AGAIN. I don’t know, i just really like how things are written even though on paper this kind of dynamic between hate and love isn’t really my thing. It just felt real and really well explained.
(Please let there be other books in this Tall & Royal series i’m begging you.)
Also: Mariyah has the same job issues that i have and Shehryar the same family issues. So even though i started this book to just read a good royal cute and smutty romance it still hit something (for the better or the worst, i still don’t know).

I had the extreme pleasure to get to read this as an ARC. I could not wait to get my hands on this since I finished the first in the series! And boy did it not disappoint! The tension between Shehryar and Mariyah was absolutely perfect and when they finally came together, it was pure magic! I thought I wouldn’t be able to love any couple as much as I loved Kai and Esmeralda, but Mar and her “Daddy” stole my heart. I loved how this story basically picked up right where the last left off and we got a more detailed extended epilogue almost for the first book! It was perfect! I’m convinced now that everything Nylah Monroe writes is just pure GOLD and I want to live in the world of Neves she has created!!

3.5 stars ✨
Shehryar and Mariyah had a story that definitely put them to the test, if not multiple tests haha. It was quite a journey from the beginning to the end. The hate between them was very intense, and their transition the definition of slow burn, but it definitely picks up towards the latter half. I loved the personal character arcs Mariyah and Shehryar had, and found the way those topics were dealt with very well done.
I will say though, I did get a bit exhausted reading the push and pull dynamic over the length of their story. All in all though, I really enjoyed the individual character developments and character dynamics which were truly my highlight here :))

obsessed
I’ve been dying in anticipation for this book and it more than lived up to expectations.
1) I love how they both deal with and work through their own problems independent of each other and have solid, well written relationships with so many other characters as well
2) I love the glimpses of Esmeralda and Kai we get
3) Holy hell the smut. Thank you Nylah for writing it both so well and also having long, fleshed out scenes with lots of variety.

the first 40% was truly a chaotic experience lowk almost dnf-ed…..
But it got better, I just think the book was overly long and repetitive also the mmc’s behavior at some points was lowk not okay and not cool and if someone spoke to me like that for no absolute reason at all, you best believe you’re being smacked 😛

This book is packed with fiery banter and undeniable chemistry. Mariyah is fiercely independent who thinks she's hard to love. Their Stubborn streaks are relatable, endearing and sometimes funny and they both balance their vulnerability and arrogance well. The intensity of the tension only cracks to show heartfelt revelations.
"There had always been more than hate between us. It had just taken us a while to accept that the hate wasn't always more powerful and fulfilling than what lay underneath. It wasn't love yet, but it was worth taking seriously"
The display of support when needed was definitely heartwarming.
The transmission from hate to love was rightly paced.
Honestly if my grammar doesn't convince you to read it, I give up.

“Me? Obsessed with you?”
ABSOLUTELY.
Book does not match the cute, fluffy cover pt 2, times like ten hundred thousand times 👁️👄👁️ that was CRAZY.
It was almost a 5-star read but their nicknames for each other gave me the ick after a while (one is mentioned 99 times, the other one is mentioned 106 times, i get it they are a menace and a dickhead) lmao im petty, i know.
Would read again ✅

"Love is enough."
The second book in the series revolves around Mariyah—Esmeralda's best friend—and Shehryar—Esmeralda's bodyguard/private secretary/brother-like figure. Mari and Sheri have been in a hate relationship for the past five years. They bicker, fight, and annoy each other and are a pain in the ass for each other. Mari and Sheri are forced to work together for Sheri's mother's wedding. When the sparks fly, they blow up.
My first reaction to the book was, 'Yes! Their story' and 'Oh, it's 600+ pages.' Since I had read the first book at the beginning of the year, I did not remember the extra characters, so I re-read TRG, which was the best decision. In this book, many scenes with side characters made the story flow better. Though the book was longer than I usually read, I was engrossed in the characters' stories.
The smut was extremely explicit, which depended on my mood- if I was up for reading like ten pages of it. The dialogue was quick yet perfectly aligned with the characters. The background and character's struggles were another plus point.

𝗔𝗥𝗖 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪:
First, let's take a moment to appreciate the fact that I received an ARC for this book. A huge shoutout to Nylah Monroe, who has not only made my reading heart flutter, but also graced me with the opportunity to devour this book before its official release. Thank you, Nylah! If I could, I’d throw confetti and dance around with a cardboard cutout of Shehryar, but alas, my living room doesn’t have enough space for that kind of pandemonium.
From the moment I opened the first chapter, I knew I was in for a ride, but I didn’t quite expect to find myself laughing out loud while simultaneously swooning over Shehryar’s brooding charm and Mariyah’s fiery spirit. The chemistry between the two is electric. Oh, the sparks that fly whenever they’re in the same room! I mean, talk about a fiery clash; you might think they’re auditioning for a reality TV show titled How to Hate Your Love Interest 101. Spoiler alert: I’m here for it.
Shehryar's struggles with his absent father add so much depth to his character. It’s like peeling an onion, except instead of crying, you’re furiously flipping pages, eager to unravel the layers of his past. His journey makes you root for him even more, as you start to cheer for the man who can barely cheer for himself. Trust me, folks, you’ll want to hug this fictional character—though he might give you a gruff shoulder and tell you to back off at first.
Sassy and unapologetically herself, Mariyah is the ultimate mood-lifter and the joy she exudes is contagious. I found myself chuckling out loud at her jabs, eye rolls, and sheer determination to turn her reluctant royal vacation into an adventure. Who knew being a third wheel could be this entertaining? Watching her navigate her personal expectations while juggling life with a prestigious royal family gave the story an emotional undercurrent, which, if I’m honest, made me tear up a little—because there’s nothing quite like a woman embracing her own identity amidst life’s chaos.
And then we have Esmeralda, Mariyah’s best friend, who deserves a standing ovation for her scheming skills. Seriously, this girl has a Ph.D. in matchmaking! Watching her orchestrate everything from behind the scenes is like finding out your goofy uncle has secretly been planning a surprise party for you and is also a professional magician. Her antics add a level of hilarity as she tries to navigate the minefield of Mariyah and Shehryar’s nearly explosive interactions.
I often found myself chuckling at how desperately she wanted to shove them together while they both adamantly denied feelings greater than disdain.
As for the romantic tension? Good grief it’s palpable! the gradual shift from mutual hatred to undeniable attraction feels like the kind of plot twist that gets you sweaty-palmed and giggling like a fool. The bickering doesn’t just come off as juvenile; it’s a game of emotional tennis that left me fervently turning pages as both characters throw verbal rackets until they realize they’ve both been playing for the same team all along.
Think of Tall, Royal Hater as a deliciously frosted cupcake with a surprise filling—only this one is topped with enthusiasm, irreverence, and a generous sprinkle of heart-wrenching moments.
I knew this was going to be a 5-star read right from the start, and my instincts were spot on! If you’re in the mood for a witty, passionate, and utterly charming love story that brings giggles to your heart and makes you believe in love with a side of chaos, please treat yourself to this delight. You won't regret it—unless, of course, you hate fun, laughter, and love. Then, well… you might just want to skip this one. But honestly, who hates those things? Grab a copy once it’s out and get ready to laugh, cry, and cheer…your bookshelf will thank you for it!

I am going peanutssss...sorry, I meant nuts!!!!
Rating: 5/5 stars
A huge thank you to the author for giving me the chance to read an ARC of this book—what an absolute treat! 🙏
I am still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster! This book has left me breathless, and I am not ashamed to admit that I am utterly obsessed with Daddy Shehryar and Bratty Mariyah's story. 💕
The author's writing style is engaging, witty, and oh-so-sexy! 😏 The banter between the leads is some of the best I've ever read, and their chemistry is off the charts.🔥 I loved how the author expertly wove together the complexities of their relationship, making it impossible not to become completely invested in their journey.
Shehryar, oh Shehryar! He's the perfect blend of alpha male and vulnerable soul. His possessiveness and jealousy had me swooning, and his grovelling had me weak in the knees.. 😍 Mariyah, on the other hand, is a force to be reckoned with. Her sassiness and determination had me cheering her on from the very beginning.🙌 I love how they acknowledge and address their problems, accepting their feelings. And that "I love you" moment in the Epilogue? Heart-melting 💖
All those "I want you to be mine" moments—Shehryar's begging is my kryptonite too!😜All those "yes, ma'am" and "good boy" moments left me drenched in sweat. And let’s not even get started on the spice! 🔥 I thought Chapter 38 was the peak, but then the author hit me with Chapter 48—what in the world? It was wild! My thoughts were racing like a comet, and I went completely bonkers. Fanning myself 😅
The supporting characters, particularly Esmeralda, added depth and humor to the story. The author's attention to detail and world-building is impressive, making it easy to become immersed in the world of royalty and privilege.👑✨
In short, Tall, Royal, Hater is a must-read for anyone who loves a good romance, especially those with a penchant for alpha males and strong-willed heroines. Be prepared for a wild ride filled with laughter, tears, and plenty of steamy moments. 😘🔥
