4.5 ⭐s A fractured fairy tale. 

Once upon a time, there was a Princess Elena of Eldoria. She'd like to find someone who will love her for herself, not as a princess. As a child, a marriage contract had been signed. She would become the bride of Prince Eric of Corinthia. She'd been seven when she’d met him. She slapped his face before storming off. She's rarely seen or spoken to him since that meeting. However, she also hasn't changed her impression of him since then. Now her father is pressing her to marry Eric or find a suitable man to marry. She went to Sterling City in the US. She was accompanied by her ladie's maid, Caroline Bennett, who is also her best friend and confidante. While there, she assumed the identity of a commoner. 

Nathan Kingsley was having a bad day when he entered the coffee shop. It got even worse when he collided with a beautiful woman and splashed his coffee all over her blouse. He insisted she wear his jacket home, and he'd retrieve it that evening at dinner. When she teased him about the damage he might inflict if cutlery was involved, they decided to meet in the park at a hot dog vendor's cart. Before leaving, they exchanged their names as Ellie and Nate. 

Now the commoner is dating a princess without knowing it.Their relationship has developed to the point where she's accepted his engagement ring despite the trickery of her cousin, Prince Julian. He'd "accidentally" splashed Nathan with alcohol and then added alcohol and a drug to Nathan's non-alcoholic drink at a royal function, among other things. 

Prince Julian, third in line for the throne, wants to rule! Only Elena and his older brother, Alexander, stand in his way... He's come up with an ancient document stating the ruler must marry from a list of other royalty or forego the crown. Presto Elena is gone! Alexander also doesn't want to marry his parents choice for his bride, either. 

Nathan is also having family problems. He broke up with his former girlfriend, Chloe, who was cheating on him with his younger brother, Stephen. Stephen married her, certain she'd cheat with him, not on him. On the Kingsley family trip to Eldoria, Nathan saw her leaving Prince Julian's room. The Prince later confessed to Princess Elena that it had happened. Chloe drove a huge wedge between the brothers. But when she's murdered, neither brother is arrested, but another family member is... 

At what point will Ellie and Nathan realize that a marriage between them will never happen? And what about a document written by her grandfather...

The Billionaire's Royal Crown
By
Nellie Steele
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Billionaire’s Royal Crown is Book Three in the Sweet Royal Billionaire Romance Series by Nellie Steele. Picking up from the previous book with Princess Elena and Billionaire Nathan Kingsley receiving final approval from her father, King Frederick, the two are making plans for their engagement announcement to the world and planning their Christmas Eve Wedding. The planning seems to be progressing well until Elena’s cousin, Prince Julian, who wants to take the throne away from Elena, announces that he has discovered an old decree which states that for an heir to ascend the throne, the spouse must hold a noble title. Julian claims that he has found nothing to repeal the decree, and if Elena marries Nate, she would have to give up the throne and it would then go to Julian. That is only the beginning of the troubles incurred by the families. Chloe accuses Nate’s brother of assault and she is then found murdered in her apartment, with the prime suspect being Nate's mother. It will take both families to find solutions or their world will tragically crumpled beneath them.
I enjoyed reading this book and found it intriguing. The characters were well-written and the relationships between them were well developed and engaging. The story was spell-binding, with twists and turns that would keep any reader turning pages as the tension mounted. I found the story very suspenseful and brought out emotions as the story developed. The plot was cleverly written and at times, unpredictable. The romance between the two main characters flourished as the two worked together, sharing their determination to solve whatever was thrown at them. I can highly recommend this clean romance series as a very enjoyable, entertaining, and extremely satisfying series. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Readers Copy

I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. This book has a lot of unexpected stuff going on. If you have been reading this series, you think that the drama is over. We are in the home stretch, right? Wrong. This books ramps up the drama in the US and Eldoria. Yes, you heard right. More drama coming at you from both sides of the world. Will our couple make it to the alter? It is up in the air despite Nate finally passing all the tests and stepping in in the nick of time. Everything is not cool.

Our couple might have passed the last hurdle but there are now a few more in their way. Let us not forget that there are still people the do not want their union to continue. Prince Julian is all up in the pot stirring up things like he has done previously. Will he finally succeed? Nate's family has jumped in some mess that has Chloe's name written all over it. Can they announce their engagement in the midst of a possible scandal?

This series will keep readers interested from the beginning to the end. Elena/Ellie is still her regal self. Handling things in stride that would throw anyone else off of their game. Nate is learning. He is still a little too outspoken for Eldoria, but that is what they might need. Despite being a billionaire, Nate is just a commoner in the eyes of most of Eldoria. Can this commoner get a country to accept him and his family?

After finally securing her father’s approval to marry Nathan, Princess Elena of Eldoria is looking forward to announcing her engagement and a Christmas Eve wedding. However, complications arise with familial issues on both sides. For Elena, her ambitious cousin, Julian is up to his shady tricks to try to take her throne, even teaming up with Prince Eric. Finding proof that Eldorian rulers must marry nobility, he may just have the upper hand. Nathan also has trouble with his brother Stephen & Chloe. Stephen and Chloe’s own marriage has tanked and a bitter divorce is looming, when Chloe is murdered. Could someone in the Kingsley family be responsible?

Nellie Steele wraps up the Devotion and Dynasty trilogy with a page turning storyline. Plenty of twists and turns as Nate and Ellie fight for their happily ever after. Both characters get a chance to shine as they give the pivotal evidence to the other’s dilemma. Elena receives help from a former rival, repairing a rift since childhood. Nathan & Stephen are also able to take steps towards reconciliation after the havoc Chloe wreaked on them, with Stephen also potentially finding a royal love. A well written and heartwarming love story with true love prevailing after all.

Well this is the final book in this series, so will Princess Elena and Nathan Kingsley be premitted to marry and let the Princess keep her title? Will the King and the rest of the royal family approve of this marriage? How does Prince Julian feel about the whole thing? Has he finally accepted that their marriage is the right thing and given them his stamp of approval or will he succeed at accomplishing his plans and get to wear the Crown himself?

Well by now we think all of the drama is over this being the final book but Nellie held out a few surprises until the end just for us. And we do not have drama just in the US or Eldoria but this time we have double drama, so it is in both places at once. Well this is the point where I can not tell you anymore, if I did I would ruin the surprises this book has for you. So do not forget to put this on your list of must reads and check it out soon.

This is book three of the Devotion and Dynasty Sweet Royal Billionaire Romance Trilogy. Elena and Nathan are back and finally have the approval to wed. But of course, Cousin Julian and rejected ex-fiancée Eric are back and are causing problems for our couple. One problem after another seems to come in between the 2 – will an old decree force Elena to choose between the love of her life and her kingdom? And will the murder of Chloe make it more difficult for Nathan and Elena to marry?

Be prepared as you read how old rivals come together, brothers make peace and Elena and Nathan help each other in their own battles.

The Billionaire’s Royal Crown was a mixture of charm, suspense and a definite page turner of a romance. I absolutely LOVED reading this book to the point where I didn’t want to set my phone down until I read the last page of the book. Author Nellie Steele continues to prove to me what an incredible author, storyteller and writer she is with each book that I have read from her so far. I’m looking forward to reading more amazing books from this author in the near future. I would most definitely give this book as a recommendation for anyone who enjoys reading billionaire romances.

The Billionaire's Royal Crown (Book 3 of Devotion and Dynasty Sweet Royal Billionaire Romance Trilogy) by Nellie Steele is a contemporary mystery romance novel. This book is part if a trilogy and of course is best read that way but I was able to jump right in and enjoy the story. I adored the characters and their love story. It was such a cute fairy tale. It also had a mix of mystery and some twists and turns thrown in.

It was an exciting conclusion to this series.

The fairytale that was never quite the fairytale. From sweet romance to intriguing suspense, Nate and Elena had me at hello. Now it breaks my heart to say goodbye. Love took a wild ride to happily ever after, but was well worth the trip.

We all knew how this would end, but it was still an interesting road to get there which a fun. I found the characters a little annoying surprisingly and it could just be how the reader portrayed them, but I also loved the reconciliation between family members. A good happy ending to the series!

Loved reading the engaging and entertaining romance story. Princess Elena's cousin found a degree stating that a royal has to marry a royal, and Nate's brother's wife is murdered and Nate's mom is the prime suspect. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting love story by the fabulous author, Nellie Steele.

Nellie Steele is so great at plot twists! Just when you get comfortable and feeling like you’ve hit smooth sailing, nope! I loved how everything fell apart and crazy broke out for both of the FMCs. She is the master of a wild ride and this book was definitely in that category. But after all of the unexpected twists and turns, I was happy for Nate and Elena to finally have their happily ever after!.
