2 Locked-Up Royal Secrets
Crown Princess Constanza Lombardi of Papavero
I have been leading a double life for over a decade, secretly racing in Formula Two without my parents or my country knowing. If they did, they would force me to stop, demand I give up my reason for breathing. So, I’ve done all I could to keep my secret, but with my hand in marriage promised to the future king of Monaco, my friend Thomas, I doubt I will be able to hide my true self from him for long.
And I’m terrified once he finds out, so will the rest of the world.
Crown Prince Thomas Crovetto of Monaco
I have never wanted to be king. It’s a role I was born into, a responsibility placed upon my shoulders that I had no choice but to accept as a part of me. But all of it changes when becoming king means that I will become her husband, too. And I would do anything and everything in my power to protect Constanza Lombardi from the cruel world we live in, including going against my own family as they plot her demise and try to sabotage her dream to win her first and last trophy in Formula Two.
As a man with a secret life of my own and the one who is hopelessly in love with her, I will do whatever it takes to safeguard her hidden identity.

Thank you, Bridget, for having me as a part of your ARC Team. It's always my pleasure to be a part of the team <3

I don't get you, Bridget; I don't. It's like you live in my head at this point. How do you know exactly what I need to read and send it straight to me?
This is the 3rd book I've ARC read for her, and every time I think, 'This is it, she can't POSSIBLY get any better than this!' and she comes along and gives me '2 Locked Up Royal Secrets.' I haven’t cried and laughed and lost my mind over a book since 'Saved By His Halo,' and that was ALSO Bridget's book so go figure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I related to Constanza a lot. Maybe more than I have ever related to a character in all these years. (Minus the part about being a queen and an F2 racer, I'm not THAT secretive!)
And Thomas—GOOD LORD THIS MAN!! As someone who is most likely probably going to be in an arranged marriage somewhere in the future, I can only hope, the guy destined for me is half as sweet, loving, thoughtful and HUSBAND MATERIAL as Thomas Lombardi-Crovetto (he took her name, ya'all!).
This man is a man IN LOVE and I was honest to god, squealing and kicking my feet in more than one part of the book!!
Their relationship and the way it grew so naturally, so seamlessly—I was either wiping tears, grinning through tears, or squealing into my pillow! It was one of the three and NOTHING IN BETWEEN!!!
Honestly, they remind me of that one Queen Charlotte line. "We are one Crown. His weight is mine, mine is his. One Crown."
I will not shut up about them if I start yapping but one thing I will say—
THE❗THRONE❗SCENE‼️
I'm telling ya'all, THAT SCENE HAD ME SCREAMING! No cause I legit thought my face was going to explode!!
Now that that's been addressed, the ARTWORK!! From the team logos to the surprise artworks in between pages (thanks for the breather, Bridget, ;) to the signs!! I loved every single piece!!
Finally, the goosebumps this book gave me—!! I legit had to put my phone down and walk around for a while to recover from those!!
If I had more stars to give, I would give this book all of mine! It was truly a "dream"/10‼️
I can't say this enough, but FUCK YOU CHRISTIAN!!!
The book is out; read it. I'm serious; read it!! I can't speak for everyone, but I WISH!! I so desperately wish that my love story (whenever it comes into my life) even REMOTELY resembles Constanza and Thomas in some way because I still randomly swoon when I remember certain parts of this book. Spoken like a true hopeless romantic, I know but I mean it; it truly is a dream
Seriously, read the book!
Once again, FUCK YOU CHRISTIAN!!!!

First of all I would like to thank Bridget again for giving me an early copy for this absolute gem!
Bridget well and truly does not disappoint! This book had me by the neck, and what I absolutely adored was how certain both characters were about their feelings. No worrying about the when or how, just pure ‘we-both-know-we-love-eachother-this-lowkey-works-in-our-favour’. However, the amount of villainous characters in this book was so new to me, like usually you’d think you would like them , but in this one Bridget really said ‘I am going to make you hate them so much that you would want to throw your Kobo across the room and then burn it!’ YES I AM TALKING TO YOU CHRISTIAN!
I was so stressed throughout the book especially with Consta’s hidden identity in F2 but our sexy crown prince Thomas had me so secure because this man is the greenest of the greenest flags around and I was grinning from ear to ear whenever his pov came up. This man knew what he wanted and got it in the most respectful way, while also empowering her. I have said this a million times but the way Bridget empowers women in motorsports should be studied because she does it right!
This book is sexy, hot, sizzling, emotional, frustrating, and a whole lot of angst and ‘who did this to you?’ and A LOT of ‘my wife’ moments and I adored every second of it. This F2 x Royalty trope was something I didn’t realise I needed but I am so glad Bridget gave me the opportunity to read it! And one final thing: CHRISTIAN SCREW YOU!

How is it possible to love Constanza and Thomas as much as I love Adrian and Naveah!!
I never thought I would find another couple created by Bridget that I would love as my fav couple - but you have done it again.
Thomas and Constanza are everything and then some, I adored them and they now own the top place in my heart with Adrian and Neveah!
Both our royals are living a double life and trying to keep it not only from each other but the world.
Until, one secret is shared, will it cost them everything?
Thomas is our charismatic King to be and has loved her from a far since day 1
Constanza is Queen to be and has been drawn to him but wont let herself feel and go after what she wants because her secret is the biggest of all and can ruin - EVERYTHING not only for herself...
You have to read 2 Locked Up Royal Secrets to find out what happens next.

4 ⭐️ 3 🌶️
A crowned prince of Monaco and a crowned princess of Papavero with a beautiful friendship forced into an arranged marriage. Both have been living secret lives. Unexpectedly, they unearth their feelings for each other amongst their forced marriage but they’re a few people wanting so badly to see them fail and to hurt them any chance they get. For a while they get to enjoy their growing relationship but certain people turn their lives into a chaotic mess. They get to see who truly matters and supports them in all of their endeavors. They get to rule differently and better than their parents and inspire those who will come after them. Their relationship may have been forced but their feelings never were. I do think some people *cough cough* Christian got off entirely too easy (you’ll see what I mean).

Thanks to Bridget for the Beta Read Opportunity 💕
I was hooked from the moment "Formula 2 x Royalty" was mentioned, and this book delivered on every front. Bridget has created something truly special by blending the high-stakes world of racing with royal intrigue.
Constanza has officially claimed the spot as my favorite FMC; she is strong-willed and a total boss. Then there’s Thomas—a literal teddy bear and perhaps the sweetest MMC I’ve ever read. His devotion to Constanza is everything.
The plot is masterfully paced, filled with suspense and action that makes it impossible to put down. I loved seeing the cameos from previous books and the heartwarming "found family" dynamics. As for the spice—it was executed perfectly. This is a must-read, and I cannot recommend it enough!

4.5 ⭐️ Beta Read : I knew i was gonna eat this up at the mention of Formula 2 X Royalty and it did not disappoint. This was everything i wanted from a romance book and more. The way Bridget incorporated a female F2 driver with royalty was genius. Constanza is by far my favourite FMC to date she is so strong minded and gives off strong boss b*tch vibes and then you have Thomas who is literally a teddy bear. He is the sweetest FMC you will ever meet and would do anything for Consta. The plot of this was incredible it was full of suspense and non stop action that kept you wanting to keep turning pages. You also get to see a cross over of characters from previous books which is so lovely. And the found family is incredible the way the friendships in this play out is done so nicely and the spice… OH LORD its yummy in this one. I can’t say a great deal about this without giving away the story but please take my word for it and give this one a go because it will not disappoint you i promise, and anyone who hates on my boy Thomas then you got another thing coming because he is such a sweetheart 🥹

I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to beta/sensitivity read this book for Bridget. If you haven’t read any of Bridget’s other books prepare for an emotional roller coaster in the best way possible. She always makes sure to be super inclusive with her characters, I really loved the pansexual and bisexual representation in this book. If you are a motorsports girlie like me I think this is such a fun twist on a Motorsport romance. Because let’s be honest yall who doesn’t want to read about a princess who’s also a race car driver.

I can't express how excited I was for this book and Bridget did definitly not disappoint.
It's well written and fast paced and you have to love all the characters 🥺
Definitly another 5 star read.
2 Locked-Up Royal Secrets is a contemporary romance mixed with a bit of spice and a royal twist.
It's perfect if you like a royal romance, formula 2, secrets slowly unraveling and relationships being tested.
Thank you Bridget for trusting me to beta read again 🫶🏻

This age-gap F2 romance is a fast-paced novel that talks about the issues women face in a sport that is male-dominated. A woman bound with the responsibility of her country isn't allowed to follow her dream because that would ruin their reputation and bring shame to their family. While Constanza tries to chase her dream by fighting everyone, I loved how Thomas supported her every step of the way and loved her with all his heart. The storytelling could've been better, and some parts felt a little rushed, but it was like a breath of fresh air after reading a soul-crushing book.
If you're a fan of motorsports and especially love the women leading this sport, Consta's story is a must-read!

Such a great adventure and such a great novel.
Love to read all the F2 moments Bridget gave us.
Love the characters, so beautiful and powerful and love how the characters and this book has so much in it that just makes me feel seen and represented in different ways.
To see how the story grows and how they grown with it. The way they surpass all that is thrown their way and reading through the thought of each other, how they see each other through it all was really beautiful.
Such a beautiful novel. Simply lovely.

Constanza and Thomas just have that royal flair but mixed in with the messiness of real life. Their unwavering dedication to their countries, their passions, and each other is downright contagious. Plus, who doesn't love amazing representation, and Bridget always out does herself. Absolutely love it!

Constanza is a formula 2 driver, but thats not enough, she’s also the crown Princess of Papavero. Thomas is the crown prince of Monaco and a secret short sotry writer - and together they are a true power couple. Through marriage they become king and queen and dang, they have the support of their countries. The spice is also spicing and the characters are mature and have depth to them. No third act break up is also something I appreciate. The drama was there, don’t get me wrong, but they actually communicated - shocking I know. As always, an absolute banger from Bridget.
