Prince of Hate: Royal Biker Romance
A forced royal marriage. A prince she hates. And a crown built on grief, secrets, and obsession.
Prince of Hate is a gripping morally grey royal biker romance about loss, duty, and a marriage forged in hatred.
After the tragic death of her fiancé, Prince Phillip of Harlington, Amelia Perlington is bound by an unbreakable contract to marry his younger brother—Prince Nicolas.
Cold. Arrogant. Unapologetically ruthless.
They despise each other, trapped between grief, obligation, and burning resentment. But Amelia hides a dark secret—one powerful enough to destroy the crown, the marriage, and them both.
In this game of power and hate, only one can win.

Review of advance copy received from Indie Reviewers
Audiobook Review for Prince of Hate by Michelle Thate, book 1 in the Royal Biker series, is coming soon to audio! Amazingly performed in duet by @savannahreadsromance and @therealjoearden
When the man she was meant to marry, her best friend, from a long-arranged royal marriage, was cut short, she was forced into marrying the next in line. A man she despises, and the feeling is mutual. Can they make it to the altar before destroying each other?
This story is about grief, secrets, abuse, and obsession. A morally grey romance forged in hatred and misunderstandings.
Nicolas is the secondborn in a royal family, never meant to wear the crown. When tragedy strikes, he is thrown into a role he not only was not meant to have but also never wanted. Now he is being forced to marry his deceased older brother's fiancée because a long-ago contract stipulated that she would marry the next king, and that is now Nick. This should be interesting since they despise each other. For different reasons, of course. There is no getting out of this union.
Amalia is living every little girl's dream to marry the prince who will one day become king. Don't we all want to become a princess and then a Queen? Yes, if it is to your best friend that you grew up with, but not when you are forced to marry his younger brother, who is arrogant, rude, an infamous playboy, and hates your guts for no apparent reason. She has no options; she cannot say no, her brother will never allow it. So she must do what she was born to do. Marry into royalty regardless if she likes the man or not. But anything must be better than living with her brother.

🎙Narrators: Savannah Peachwood & Joe Arden 🎙
Savannah and Joe never disappoint when they narrate, and this is no different for this audiobook. They did an amazing job on bringing these characters to life. I loved their inflections in their tones and the emotions that dripped into my ears as I listened.
✨️📖 On To The Book Review 📖✨️
This story had sooo much going for it. Abuse, grief, obsession and secrets. Add all of that to the jixing pot with romance that is morally grey with plenty of tension and you have this masterpiece. With everything that happens in this story you get a good dose of hatred and misundersstandings throughout this romance.
I have been loving all Royal Romances and this dedfinitely fed my addiction. Nicolas is the second born within the royal family but never meant to wear the crown. But he isd now forced to marry his brother's ex fiance to hold up the deal that was made.
Amalia was in the vehicle with her ex-fiance when he passed away but was quickly shown that the deal will still stand even with Phil being gone. she doesn't know if anything with Nicolas will ever be easy, but she is willin to pull up her boot straps in order to complete the deal made.
This story was full of angst, lust, and compromise. There is nothing easy about what this couple has had to go through but they know that there is no other way to make everything work.
Nicolas and Amalie quickly gave us all the spice we were hoping for!! This book was soo good! I can't wait to read the next in the series!!

This story was corny af. Immature characters, and it’s like the story didn’t know what it wanted to be. Was it a royal political romance, not really. Biker romance…if you count MMC having a bike and he rides it sometimes, uh ok. Zero buildup, the plot was all over the place and OVERLY dramatic.
Honestly would have DNF’d if it wasn’t for the fact I wasted an audible credit and because Joe Arden was narrating. I grit my teeth and got through it because of that.

Did the audiobook version and it was great. Joe Arden does so well at playing the crazy person. Loved this story and excited to see what will happen next.
