Royal Baby
They told me to stay away from her...now she’s having my baby.
ANDREW
Keira’s a perfect ten...and now she has ten little fingers and ten little toes growing inside her.
If you follow the British royal family, you’ll know who I am—Prince Andrew Arlington, heir apparent to the throne. I’ve got a bit of a reputation, but the public loves me anyway, and women literally mob me in the streets for a chance to drop their panties for me.
I can’t exactly complain about that…
But now I've met Keira Valencia. She’s not like the rest. She’s beautiful, smart and ambitious, with curves for days and a sexy American accent that makes me weak at the knees. She’s also a brand new maid at the Palace, which makes her totally off-limits. My family would never approve of me going near her, but she’s too much of a temptation to resist.
It’ll just have to be our little secret.
But now she’s got another little secret growing inside her…and little secrets always grow up to be huge scandals…
KEIRA
One night, one prince, one unexpected pregnancy…now I’m royally screwed.
The night I met Drew Ellis, I thought I’d finally found the one. Sexy? Check. Smart? Check. Cute English accent? Check.
Royal prince? Check….wait a minute. He didn’t tell me that part!
So now I know the truth. Drew Ellis is really Andrew Arlington, Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne. He’s also an arrogant sleaze and a total player.
I should’ve known better. I should’ve stayed away. But I didn’t, and now I’m having his baby…

For me the hero lost all my respect when he lied to her about his "other" woman. He knew he was to marry that crazy bitch and he did not tell her about it. Also, he was not honest with her about his name in the beginning I was a little mad. But she honestly became the cliché when she slept with him like she did. I guess it's just my own preference here speaking but for me she just was too easy. If a known playboy tell me he is not a playboy when all the evidence of my own eyes are against him, I would make him work for it. She just said " ...sure I believe you lets have sex..." Whatever. It was not a bad book just blah! The only funny part was when he would try to be "street". Other then that it was just ordinary.

Four wonderful royal crowns for Royal Baby!
Keria Valencia Has just finished school so what do you do ? If your Keira you land on traveling for a gap year and working as a maid hopefully in one of the royal families homes. but for now you head out to celebrate with your friend Sarah . Well meaning enough Sarah keeps trying to push Keira to just let go and have a fun time and maybe a fun night with some hot guy, but that is not Keira. Nothing stopping her though from having a drink or two, however when a very sexy man with a British accent roles up to her table with a somewhat korny pick up line she finds herself reconsidering the one night stand.After two hours of drinks and wonderful conversation with Drew Ellis. When he asks if she would like to get out of the club; Keira is all in! But her dream man suddenly turns out to be a liar, and she had to find out when they get mobbed by a bunch of women; turns out Drew Ellis is Prince Andrew Arlington heir to the British throne and consummate playboy.
Keira walks away, well really runs is more like it. She an not stand liars!
Any other time Andrew would just move n to the next women and forget about the one that got away, not like that really ever happens but something about Keira has him stuck on her, unfortunately he did not get her last name so trying to find her is next to impossible. The sexy stewardess Kathy does not even interest him, under normal conditions he would be joining the mile high club yet once again on his way home .
Andrew gets home and gets an earfull from his mother , Queen Constance about his bad behavior, carousing ways and the need to step up to his royal duties; so as punishment he will hell the Butler , Rogers pick some new household staff. Drew can not see how hiring maids and extra staff is important big to keep his mother happy he complies and it turns out to be fruitfull. Keira Valencia, the very same Keira who ran from him as submitted an application.
Keira is happy to have gotten a job as a maid at the Royal castle and hopes to be able to avoid Prince Andrew, what she did not count on was being his personal maid!
Keira tries to evade, and Drew peruues and loves getting her mad at him but eventually Keira can not resist anylonger .
Secret interludes , secret trips and dates with an incognito Andrew and all the time though his family suspects They believe it is nothing more than a fling, another one of Andrews casual flings that will end , but what they do not realize is that Andrew is hooked, his playboy days coming to an end because everything is better with Keira.
Nothing goes easily though, especially when your mother is trying to arrange a marriage to the princess of Sweden and your brother all but hates you.
Worse yet when the girl you love overhears you appeasing your mother and believes she has meant nothing, that she was just a fling till you married.
Never fear though, Ms Wilde gives you a happy ending anyway and I promise you a great page turning read while getting there!

Beware of Spoilers!
Star Ratings:
Heroine (Keira): 3/5
Hero (Andrew): 3/5
Plot: 3/5
Grovel: none
Cheating: none but he is an epic manwhore and descriptions are made of his attractiveness to many women
HEA: yes with babies!
Triggers: some OW drama
Average score: 3/5
Best Line: “I’m in love with a beautiful, brilliant woman and she’s pregnant with my baby, and I couldn’t be happier or prouder! And if there is anyone in this castle, in England, in Britain or in the world who doesn’t understand that, then I pity them.”
Worst Line: “I know the classic line,” Drew went on, honest and upfront as ever. “I’m supposed to say ‘I never do this, but you’re just so beautiful’. Well, you are just so beautiful, but we both know that saying ‘I never do this’ would be a lie. I do this a lot. Which is why I am so very good at it…if you catch my drift.”
Personal Review:
This was an ok romance between a prince and an art-lover (who is also a maid). I thought I would end up hating the H but he turned out to be good and head over heels for the h, so I did forgive his manwhore-ish ways.
Random Ramblings:
•I am so pleased they didn’t sleep together at the first meeting
•Michael needed a good ass kicking and it was too coincidental that he was redeemed
•I had hoped for the baby to be a part of the main story sooner as the title suggests
Overall Feeling:

Title: Royal Baby
Author: Avery Wilde
(arc for honest review)
Authors writing style: I was impressed with this story. The story is very detailed. You can connect to the characters and the events happening. This story was a standalone. The authors writing style allows you to flow with the characters and the events as well as the emotions.
Overview: Keira just finished college with a degree in art. She is planning to take off a gap year so she can visit Europe and see a lot of museums. In order to do that, she has applied to be a maid for one of the royal houses. But she has not heard back yet. Her friend decides they need to go out and celebrate everything. Keira is not the average girl that likes sleeping around, but she likes going out with her friends and watching them have fun. A hot guy named Drew comes up to her and starts visiting. They hit it off, but on the way out of the club, she notices the tabloids and photographers, and people yelling. It then dawns on her that she is with Andrew Arlington the royal prince. She freaks and runs away.
Andrew was shocked at Keira’s behavior. No one has ever run from him. She is the only girl that has ever had his attention more than a quick fling, yet she runs away. But he is even more shocked when her application comes across his desk as his maid. He thinks she is there for a second chance, but soon finds out there is more to her than he originally thought. Will Keira and Andrew find a balance in their friendship? Will the two discover a new future together?

An insta-love romance.
It was pretty weird and fast, if you ask me - but certain parts of the book make up for it.
The hero and heroine were really made for each other, and you cannot ignore the chemistry there.
Also, the most of the characters were funny and well-developed, albeit confusing at times, but still lovable.
A bit over doing it with the 'dramatic' parts, I think, but still a good book.
So if you want a quick, hot and romantic read, this is probably for you, with a surprise pregnancy and royalty as a bonus.

Love royal bad boys
This book was funny and sweet. I loved how Kiera would not Andrew down a peg when he was being a jerk. I was really upset about Michael threatening Andrew, but he ended up being a nice brother, thought it was cool that he finally found a love like Andrew. So happy they had a happy ever after. Very good book, it’s a must read.

I loved it! Right amount of everything!
I couldn't put the book down when I started reading it. Without trying to spoil anything I felt like I was living a royal drama series where the prince next king in line finds someone who's not royal to love. Drama with his brother and his mother the queen. Everything balanced itself out. Such a great romantic feel good book.

Great story that kept me hooked throughout. I wasn't sure if I'd like this story due to it being based around UK royals, but the characters were nothing like what I'd expect our real royals to be like. A definite recommended read, which is well worth the 5 stars I've given it

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Where to begin with telling you about this awesome book. You know the old saying "don't judge a book by it's cover..." well this cover is awesome (go ahead and judge the cover) and it rings true with one of the main characters in this book.....honestly and willingly too.
Keira is a student that is graduating and needs to earn some money. She doesn't go out much and is even a bit envious of her roommate (in her extracurricular activities.....wink) but that just isn't the type of person Keira is. She doesn't want just the once and done kind of a thing, she deep down needs to feel safe and secure. She is about to find that and she doesn't know it yet. She decides to take her roommate up on a night out, and something wonderful and not so wonderful and then wonderful again is about to turn her world upside down, it comes in the form of this hot dude named Drew at the club.
Andrew (aka Prince Andrew also calls himself Drew) is a whole lot of the arrogant playboy the press has made him out to be. Not sticking around long enough to find out much at all about the girls he beds, it is simple to him....his pleasures first and foremost. End of subject. Did I mention he was a royal Prince? Yep, and not too embarrassed by his actions in the least....oh yeah did I mention arrogant??? He sees Keira at the club and walks right up to her and does what he does best, sweet talks to get what he wants. Things are looking good until people recognize him and call him out. He has one strike against him, he lied to Keira and stated his name was Drew. (yes it can be short for Andrew but he routinely gives that name out only when picking up the girls) Now being recognized, she runs from him. Things spiral quick from there.
Does he go after her? Will she see him again? Does she surprise him in the near future? What kinds of twists are there that could pose as a threat to any type of relationship they could have? Is there a happy ending for these two, together? I wish there was more I could share but not willing to give too much away. This is too good of a book for you not to get and read. It has a few tugs at the heart strings for different types of emotions, but nothing heavy at all. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I have. Definitely a re-reader book.

“But you’re an art student!” My friend Sarah’s words had a tendency to slur slightly when she’d been drinking. “Why would you want to be a cleaner?”
My thoughts exactly!!!
Keira has the slightest interest in the royal family... Guess you already knew it since its on the summary. She didn't know who Price Andrew is hahaha. BUT WTH HOW CAN SHE NOT RECOGNIZE PRINCE ANDREW AT ALL I DONT GET IT REALLY IF IT SAYS THAT HE IS SOMEWHAT POPULAR. O K A Y
Keira likes to do right things. Like be with some guy who is good, well natured, have decency.. Good guy. But then that night she is willing to try, hooked up with someone.. But it never ended well. So why?? She asks. Why doing right have no rewards at all?
Prince Andrew misunderstood on why Keira was there, being a maid. Oh the nice-to-see-you-again kinda thing is so funny!!!! I don't want to spoil things!!! But really.... It's hilarious. Even though it's not meant to be funny at all.. I find it funny okay hhahah
Now I'd gone and used the 'L' word as well, which was utterly ridiculous. I didn't love her...love at first sight was a bullshit invention of fairytales that little kids grew up believing in before being slapped in the face by the cold, hard hand of reality and adulthood.
Okay Prince Andrew, let's see :)
After a while, Andrew and Keira agree on being civil. Then having a relationship... They find time everyday just to be with each other, even if it's hard. A maid and a prince.
The effort of Andrew on how to make Keira happy. Being in disguise for him to take Keira on a date. I love him for it.
And after those steamy chapters... keira is now preggy!! And what she thinks will be a happy moment from her and Andrew became a disaappinting one. With what she overheard...
Then Princess Alex and then Matthew then the Queen. Really!!! I thought they will have a sad ending or be a satisfying one but not that great. But i will tell you that the ending is amazing!!
I just wish there's more.
I feel like there can be more story with them. But it's okay, it's great. ♥️

3.5 "Royal" Stars.
Would have been a 5 Star "great plot" read (especially for people who like accidental pregnancy/royalty romances) but character development is a bit lacking in my opinion. For starters, the male MC, Andrew, had always been one of those typical guys who are absolutely terrified with the idea of love (which explains his playboy ways). He even brought it a step further by being afraid of feelings too. However, after he met Keira, and after a few conversations, he immediately accepted his feelings for her and acknowledged that he loves her without any fear or mental fight with himself. And when she announces her pregnancy to him, nope, no horror there. Just a happy, loving acceptance with only a tinge of shock. Seems a little unrealistic to me as I would love to read more about the gradual acceptance of the realisation that he is in love or a sudden acceptance following a trigger event and the fear of a sudden baby coming up when he had no previous plans of settling down (if you consider his playboy ways). It just doesnt seem to be realistic that the right girl comes along and one second later, he is all a changed man with his fear for commitment and feelings and love and what not all eradicated. Secondly, his mother was also a bit of a contradiction. She seems like a wise, friendly and approachable queen, but at some times, the words and actions just don't fit the intended personality. It's like reading about someone else entirely. Lastly, the villian itself seems to turn over a new leaf instantly. There isn't a huge fight or something that made him realise his wrongdoings. It was just "Wham Bam I realised my mistake and I am going to remedy it without fear of the consequences because if I dont, the two of you wont get your happy ending before the book ends". There are a few other unrealistic characters such as Princess Alexandra and Sarah.
However, it was still a good and light, albeit unrealistic (to me), read even though I thought that the author was kinda rushing the story through and thus the lack of character development.

ARC PROVIDED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW
Keira graduated with a degree in art and chose to spend a gap year in Europe. Having previously applied for a job as a maid for the British royal family, she was waiting for the second round of interviews.
While out with her friend Sarah, Keira met a "Drew Ellis". He was not only gorgeous, but well mannered and intelligent. They spoke at length and the bantering was easy and the sexual tension was to have Keira throwing aside her principles for a one night stand.
Suffice it to say, it never came to be. Although lied to about who he really was, it did not stop Keira from accepting the job, as she was hopeful that she'd never see him given the sheer size of the Palace.
BUT OF COURSE...
Keira was to be Prince Andrew's personal maid, and in the end obstacles were not going to stop the attraction from becoming so much more.
I was so wonderfully surprised with the emotional maturity that developed in Prince Andrew once he had Keira in his life.
Real life is never without
it's trials, but this relationship endures.
The Prince not only got his priorities straight, but it served as an example for his mother, brother and
finally made him worthy of his title and possible future service to his country as King.
I hope you pick up the story as it will not disappoint. There are so many twists, turns and yes danger, before the HEA that it will keep you well engaged to the very end.

P.S. Kudos for the research that must have been done for the sake of the story.

The Prince not only got his priorities straight, but it served as an example for his mother, brother and
finally made him worthy of his title and possible future service to his country as King.
I hope you pick up the story as it will not disappoint. There are so many twists, turns and yes danger, before the HEA that it will keep you well engaged to the very end.
Aunt Bee
P.S. Kudos for the research that must have been done for the sake of the story.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I loved Keira and Andrew's story. They first meet in a bar in the US where Andrew has lied to Keira and told her his name is Drew Ellis. He and Keira spend awhile talking about art (she had just graduated with her art degree) and getting along really well. Later he asks her to go back to his hotel and she agrees. But on the way a bunch of girls start screaming about him being Prince Andrew and Keira then realizes why he looks familiar and leaves him. Little does he know that he'll soon see her again in the UK, where she has applied to be a maid at the royal palace so she can view all the amazing art there and all over Europe. Andrew sees her name on the application list and thinks she applied to get closer to him, when in fact the opposite is true, she's hoping she'll never run into him again. Of course she runs into him, as Andrew demands she is assigned to be his personal maid. They can't resist each other and Keira ends up pregnant. Drama ensues with Andrew's mom and brother and Keira isn't sure she wants to raise her baby in such a crazy environment.
But Andrew steps up when he realizes he's going to be a father. I loved how he develops into a good man, and out of his playboy ways so that he'll be fit to be a father and someday king. And my favorite character is Rogers, Keira's boss at the palace.
This is a sexy, sweet story. If you like royal stories with strong heroines and playboys turned into good men, then this is the one for you.

By the time I finished my last thought was: Utterly Adorable!
Seriously. This particular story wasn't as steamy (less detailed sex scenes, more implied sexy times) than a previous book I read by Avery, but by the end it didn't feel like it was a loss. The story was very cute and Andrew was just adorable. His sense of humor was rather awful as Keira often liked to point out but in an endearing 'can't help but love him' sort of way. His easy going and self deprecating nature made it incredibly hard to dislike him. I think even from the beginning he was hardly the cookie cutter bad boy as most books of this tone begin as. You know the ones: I'm the sexiest man around, I know it. I get all the ladies. I have a big dick and I love being a man whore. Those types. Honestly, Andrew had his issues but he never fit that mold and it was refreshing, since beginning the book that was along the lines of what I was expecting.
I appreciated how the Queen was quite likeable and humble unlike many monarchs are often portrayed in other books. His brother Michael's jealousy wasn't that surprising, and ultimately he probably was the only real villain in the book if you could name one. Although Princess Alexandra was as they say "cray cray" so she could be named one also. What was nice was that Michael's rise to ultimate villainy was easy to understand, came to a head quickly and he was allowed redemption.
All in all an adorable lightly steamy Cinderella-esqe happily ever after. Worth a read.

Oh how I really enjoyed reading this book. I couldn't stop the laughter nor could I help being addicted to Andrew and Keira's story. I loved how the story played out and how it began. This is a fast pasted novel which I really enjoyed.
Keira's character was full of fire and very expressive which I found really worked in the story. Firm and strong Keira wont be bullied around nor will she show any strengh. Quick mouthed and well manner. Keira's character is the complete opposite to Andrew.
Andrew is your typical bad boy but with a twist. Always using a false name to see if he can get women into his bed without using the whole royal status. One night stands, face all over the tabloids Andrew doesn't care about responsibilities or settling down. Living life as it should be lived. Until the evening spent with Keira.
Keira applied for a job working in the royals home as a maid. But after meeting Prince Andrew Keira doesn't want to see him. But Prince Andrew has another thing on his mind. Selfish as normal Andrew thinks Keira applied to see him again but he soon wakes up realizing his mistake.
Royal drama, sibling rivalry, a scandle, betrayal and a taboo relationship. Royal baby has it all and so much more. If you love your bad boys and scandles then this is the book for you.
Recieved as an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Kiera just graduate school as an art major and has no career plans for the next year expect get to England. She has applied for several positions and will use her leisure time to see the art available there. She really hopes to get the maid position with the Royal Family because she knows they have many pieces that are not available to the public. She does not count on meeting Prince Andrew ever. Andrew acts the scoundrel well, drinking, sleeping around, and shocking the tabloids. He connects with Kiera in a way he did not think possible and he takes the leap when the chance to see her again comes up.
*explicit content*
Kiera is more than a maid but that is difficult to convince people of who believe in “stations” in life. Andrew is spoiled and rebels against his mother, the Queen, in despicable ways. His brother, Michael, is not much better. Everyone has much to learn about caste equality, treating others fairly, and being adults in healthy relationships. A great read.

Received this complimentary arc copy from the author for an honest review
Really enjoyed this story and more so because I am a Brit in the UK.
Keira Valencia meets a really hot guy when out with her friend Sarah. They need to relax and having a drink she is really surprised when Drew Ellis sits down. They hit it off and things go well until later when leaving a club which result in her running off.
Keira needs a job for extra money so takes a job as a maid in England for the Royal family . There she meets him.....Drew Ellis or should I say Andrew, Prince Andrew. Wow. This is a story of Keira coming to terms of who Andrew is, his lifestyle and her feelings for him. Her love of art and all the beauty in the Palace. But one awkward brother, a pushy, pampered Princess and a regal Queen, Keira has a lot to deal with. Not counting an unexpected surprise.
A story I really enjoyed and fought for them all the way as they have to deal with who they are and all the trappings that go with their positions in life.
A brilliantly written story. Loved it.

The man locked his sapphire blue eyes with mine. "You are, without question, the most beautiful woman in this bar, probably this city, possibly the world, and I would very much like it if you would join me for a drink. If for no other reason than the fact that I will be able to tell people that I drank with the most beautiful girl in this bar, probably in this city, possibly in the world."
I really enjoyed this book. Not that much drama but just enough to keep the story flowing. Premise was great - Keira becomes a maid to the royal family but before she lands the job she meets Prince Andrew in a bar in New York. She finds out who he is and runs and because she was the "one that got away" he cant stop thinking about her.
Thanks to Prince Andrew - she lands the job in England on her gap year and is surrounded by fine art (which she went to school for).
Avery Wilde is an amazing writer and I feel this wont be the last book I read of hers.

I loved this book. It was different than the other books about a royal prince getting a girl pregnant. It is very well written & I got lost in the world that Avery Wilde created. The characters in the book have many layers to them. The more you read the more complex the characters become. I read her book Bad Boys Weeding & loved that one too! She is an excellent writer.
I loved how Prince Andrew Arlington & Keira Valencia met! She really intrigued him from the start. She liked him for himself not being the prince because she did not know who he was & she ran the other way when she found out! I loved that part! He regretted letting her go & did not know her last name so he would not be able to find her anyway. She ends up working at the palace where he lives & he thought he could treat her like all the other girls he slept with! I love how she puts him in her place! I laughed, cried & rejoiced in this book! I recommend this book if you want to read a love story that is not to sugary sweet. It is a steamy read but not over the top also!

Absolutely Romantic
I’m awed over this delightful confection, an utterly enjoyable read that was fantastical in fairytale proportions but without the syrupy sweetness. The story grabbed me from the beginning and it was a wild ride reading about Andrew Arlington, heir to the English throne, and an American art graduate, Keira Valencia. Royal Baby had it all, charming bad boy prince, intelligent, strong heroine, witty mother Queen, and sardonic brother.
Ms Wilde pens a romantic, sexy story with charming characters, witty banter, and some funny laugh-out-loud moments, and a fun plot. Royal Baby is smartly written and I just found myself smiling through the whole thing. And of course, the epilogue just outdid itself, wrapping this wonderful story in a neat bow. Great job, Ms. Wilde.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Wow, what a simply stunning book, I couldn't put it down, it was fantastic. Andrew, or Drew as we first meet him, gets a bit of a bad rep from Keira initially as he hasn't really done anything wrong but she just jumps to conclusions when she finds out who he is as he lied to her, but the whole book is absolutely amazing, the dynamic between the two and the writing was second to none. I wondered, with it being a long book, whether it would lack something or drag on, but it really didn't and had me completely hooked all the way through.
I would definitely recommend this book, as there were several moments that made me giggle, sigh during the really romantic parts and cry during the sad parts. This book has it all.
I'm now firmly an Avery Wilde fan and look forward to her next book.

This book was about Andrew, the Crown Prince of England, and Keira, an art history graduate, working as a maid in England, so that she could see great works of art on her time off. This story isn't really realistic, because what prince would fall in love with a maid, but it was such a beautifully written fairy tale. Prince Andrew goes from being a carefree playboy, rebelling against his royal duties, to a loving, respectful future king. All because of love. Who wouldn't love a story like that. Keira was such a loving, gentle, forgiving person that you just want the best for her. The Queen in this story is very personable and approachable, and foremost wants the best for her sons. I liked her character. I was given this book for an honest review.

Keira has finished getting her degree and plans to take a year off and get a job in Europe so that she can see the art. Her roommate drags her out for a night of fun...She meets a hot guy and would have gone home with him, but he lied. He isn't just some guy, he is Prince Andrew. She blows him off and goes on about her trip as planned, but can't get him off her mind. Andrew always lies about his name when he first meets a girl, but he comes clean before things go too far. Somehow, Keira got away from him and he can't stop thinking of her.
These two are great together, and the things they go through are so funny and sweet. While things aren't always sunshine and roses, they are real issues. I was given an arc for an honest review.
