Big Bad Royal

Rate this book
Does one royally hot night count as happily ever after?

REBECCA MONROE:
Who the hell does this guy think he is? He stumbles into my bar in the middle of a snowstorm and tells me he’s going to kidnap me, knock me up, and then take me back to his country to be his queen. Seriously?

But if he really is who he says he is, then I’m in trouble.

Billionaire prince? Check.
Ruthless playboy? Check.
Muscles and an obviously huge package in his pants? Check.

There is no way in hell he’ll get me to be his princess. Not even for one night.

Because if he does, then happily ever after will be over before it even began.

PRINCE NIKOLAY “NICK” ROSTOV:
When my father, the king of Kosnovia, told me I must kidnap and marry an American girl to save his crown, I told him he was insane.

But time’s running out, and here I am stranded in a blizzard in upstate New York, and the only decent woman around is standing behind the bar.

A barmaid? I’m a freakin’ prince. I date actresses and supermodels, if you can call that dating.

But little Miss Can-I-Get-You-a-Drink makes the big prince in my pants want to come out and play.

So I’ll turn on the charm and make the barmaid my queen.

Just for one long, hot, royal night…


This is a sexy stand alone with a guaranteed HEA.

Tia Siren. Spoil the bad girl in you.

King Rostov of Kosnovia kidnapped his woman and made her his wife and Queen during the early days. Now, this small monarchy in Russia was on the verge of falling and it's up to Crown Prince Nikolay to find a wife and bear an heir in order to save them and keep their reign.

Rebecca Becca Boo Monroe had taken control of her father's bar after he died and she knew she's stuck in this small hillbilly town. Then a ruggedly handsome Russian bombarded her bar during a snowstorm and pretended his car won't start. The next thing she knew, Becca found herself locked in the stranger's embrace and supple lips and was about to be kidnapped by a crowned prince.

Big Bad Royal is a hot and steamy read. You'd better wear gloves while reading this because the heat was so intense and crackling, you might end up having dark and jarred hands. It's quite a short story, but definitely full of bedroom action. Did Nick and Becca end up? How did the prince become a billionaire? You need to read this to find out!

Hot and hilarious are two words that come to mind when thinking of this book. Nick is stranded in Rebecca’s bar in a snowstorm. He is on the hunt for the woman who he is to marry and bare his children in order to keep the royal lineage intact. What a mission to have!! Rebecca is gun shy of men and for good reason plus these two couldn’t be more opposites. This is a fun and sexy story that will have you cheering on this couple.

I received this book as an ARC for a freely given honest review.

Prince Nikolay Rostov goes to American for a Economic Summit. Before leaving his father (the King) tells him he must marry and product an heir to save their monarchy, preferably an American. Enter Rebecca Monroe, the American who owns the Snowcap Bar & Grill where Nikolay takes cover during a winter storm. As in all fairytales the story is quick, far fetched, but a fun read.

You expect 1 thing you get something all together different

I really like when you get a little extra in you books, but when the story you pay for is only about 15% of the total book, it is dissappointing. I bought a book about a Bad Boy Billionaire, and I have been reading everything but that.....soooo much additional content, I don't remember the original story. Most of the extra content belongs in Harlequin Romance Novels. Dissapointed.

I was given an ARC of this book. There weren't too many spelling or grammar mistakes but the story had a lot of potential that it, unfortunately, didn't develop. In my opinion, it was too short. Had it been a longer book with more time for the characters to develop, it could have been a fantastic book.

I am voluntarily submitting my honest review after receiving an ARC of this book generously provided by the author.

This book is a great modern-day re-invention of the Cinderella fairy tale. Prince Nickolay Rostov is blown into Rebecca Monroe's small-town bar in a blizzard and knows immediately that destiny sent him there for her. Needing to take an American bride to try to save the monarchy of his small country, Nick knows the beauty behind the bar is the one for him. While his family tradition of simply kidnapping the women they want isn't feasible or advisable, Nick is not above resorting to a bit of trickery to get what he wants. He pretends his car won't start so he will have to stay the night with Rebecca in the apartment she lives in above the bar--a prospect Rebecca doesn't mind at all since she is attracted to the sexy stranger herself. But when Rebecca learns Nick wants to rescue her from her life of drudgery behind her father's bar and make her a princess, her fear holds her back. Can advice from a friend, her passion for Nick, and her own rediscovered courage help her break free and take another chance on living life instead of watching it pass her by from behind the bar? What makes this story work for me is the surprising depth of character the author is able to achieve despite the work's relatively short length. We get to see Nick as both a passionate and strong man, but also vulnerable and sweet and longing for someone to love him. Rebecca, for her strength in running the bar alone, is lonely and though frightened, wanting to experience more of life and the bigger world. Tia Siren's gift for storytelling combines with the rich characters create a fun and uplifting quick read that will entertain you start to finish.

*I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.*

I've read all of Tia Siren's books and they just keep getting better and better! Before stumbling upon Tia's books, I was a firm believer that books under 200 pages can't be good, and I avoided them. A friend of mine suggested one of Tia's books and I'm happy to say that I was proven wrong. She's a fantastic author who can create developed characters that are relatable and hot, Alpha men that you secretly (or in my case, not so secretly) wish were real and would come sweep you off your feet.

Bad Boy Royal is no exception. Rebecca runs the bar her father opened and after a heartbreaking previous relationship, has sworn off men. Until she meets the one she can't stay away from (not that I blame her!). Nick is a prince whose family tradition includes stealing their brides, willing or not. He's arrogant and while that can be a turn-off, with him, it has the opposite effect. The sex is HOT and there's a HEA. I'll admit that it didn't end the way that I expected it to, but I'm totally okay with that! If you're looking for a hot, fun read, look no further! I can't wait for Tia's next book. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and try to find a hot, single prince who needs to 'kidnap' a bride! :-)

Short, sweet and hot! This storyline is very far fetched but it was fun and sexy as hell. Nick is a prince and is told by his father to find and marry an American woman and have a child so that their reign can continue..Nick meets Rebecca when he gets stranded at her bar because of bad weather and decides she's the one he's going to marry, and once a man in his family finds the woman, they don't ask for their hand they just take her, yes they will kidnap if they have to lol..Rebecca takes over running her fathers bar after he passes away, not the life she envisioned for herself but the last time she went after a dream it ended in disaster, scared to try again she settles in her little life thinking it's what her father would have wanted..then she meets Nick and everything changes, she thinks he's role playing when he tells her he's a prince and is going to marry and impregnate her..but nope, he's dead serious lol

I enjoyed this story. Tia Sirens books, although short they are sweet and fun and very hot! I'll be reading more of her stuff for sure.

Royal Bad Boy Prince! KIDNAPPING! Sassy Female! 5 ✨

This another addition to the Big Bad series Tia Siren has written. Each Big Bad is standalone and not interlinked.

This is the story of Prince Nikola (Nick) and Rebecca (Becca). Nick's father tells him he needs to go to America kidnap a woman marry her and have an heir, it's the only way to save the crown. Nick decided to follow his father ludicrous plan. When he arrives in America gets his rental car and heads to the conference he's suppose to attend, he stops at Becca's bar. Due to the snow storm he ends up staying the night with Becca. The have a wild night of passion. Unfortunately Becca thinks he is insane and tells him she will not leave with him.

Does Becca realize Nick is exactly what she needs?
Will Nick see his fathers plan will never work?
Will Nick and Becca get a HEA or just one night of passion?

*I voluntarily and honestly review this ARC I received from the author*

I looove this! It's a great short read for the cold season with alpha hot royals, funny bartenders and some feel good smiles. It entertained and satisfied me, and since we're being honest here, it was more comedy than it might have been because I could just not take their dirty talk seriously lol Forgive me, my prince, but I couldn't. While I loved the way it all seemed to go so well (pace, writing, humor, sexy times) it's about a 4.5, 4.7 rating because of the ending. I loved this because of how much it could seem to read like a complete book despite the number of pages, but the ending kinda left me wondering about a few things. Now, I get that some authors like to leave things open to the reader's imagination, but that is so not the case here. Too many things were riding on these prominent details to then have them just be 'thought up' by whoever's reading. Other than that, everything was sweet, hot and funny. Definite check out.

BIG BAD ROYAL is a stand-alone story from Tia Siren.

I love the Big-Bad books! Every one of them delivers on the promised steamy story.

In GoodReads, I marked this one as an Adult Fairy Tale. It is not a retelling of an old classic in a new way, though I love when I come across those adult Little Mermaids and Little Red Riding Hoods. Instead, it truly is a new fairy tale. A modern fairy tale. A fairy tale of what could happen to a girl in today’s modern age…. With the bonus of the spice that only Tia Siren can add. The heat level is scorching; so, be prepared to read one-handed!

Rebecca is owner to the bar that her father started, worked and died in, when Nick Rostov roles through. Nick Rostov is the last prince of a little country whom still believes in the old way of getting or taking a wife. When he first sees Rebecca he is instantly entranced and attracted to her and decides that she will do. Will they both be able to make the other see that its time for a change? Will they be able to compromise?

Hot story! Nick was the kind of cocky playboy I love to hate. There were several times I wanted to strangle him, BUT that was part of his charm in my opinion. I really couldn't blame Rebecca for being desperate to hold onto what she had being the one time she attempted to leave it turned out bad and that little bar and town were all she knew! Love this author and can't wait for more from her!

The story of Rebecca and Prince Nikolay (Nick) was good. Although, in all honesty, I like all the other books I've read by this author better. Given Rebecca's past and the fact she was hell bent that no man was ever going to hurt her again, I found it a little unrealistic that she would trust Nick so easily. That being said, the sex scenes were good and the two did get a HEA. There is also a good message about not allowing yourself to get stuck in an unhappy life and to go after what you want. I will read more by this author.

Very short, very far-fetched, but very entertaining. Even though it is short, the story gives plenty of background on the characters and lets you see what their lives are like before throwing them together. I really like that the author did insta-lust and not insta-love and let the characters develop their relationship (off pages in the gap between story and epilogue). I also liked that the author gave us an epilogue, even if it is not complete (we find out what happens to the King but not much about Nick and Rebecca). Overall, it is a quick read that you will not regret reading.

Nick is the crown prince of Kosnovia, a tiny country that's on the verge of writing "the end" to the monarchy. The king's solution is for Nick to kidnap and marry an American girl to win public favor. He has no intention of doing so until he see bar owner Becca and suddenly his father's idea doesn't seem so crazy! Becca tried to leave her hometown once with disastrous consequences. She might want Nick with every fiber of her being but is she ready to take a chance on love again?

I really enjoyed this book. It's a sweet, funny, hot little love story that will make you smile. 4.5 stars.

A fun read, with a twist on a classic wish fulfillment fantasy. Rebecca is working a dead end job, afraid to leave her unhappy life behind, when Nick stumbles into her life. A genuine prince charming, Nick has been sent by his father to kidnap a bride, but he would much rather find a willing woman and make her his queen.

The story is quite hot, if predictable and a bit quick. The leads have chemistry, but the HEA takes place after the space of a couple of days. Read for fun, not for depth.

I was disappointed at how short the book was with the ending but my fault. I didn't look ahead at how many pages there were so one min I'm reading this very well put together story and poof, I feel like I'm being rushed to the ending. I wish there had been more time given to that. Otherwise, the beginning and main story was great.

Funny and sexy

Not what I thought this story was about. This is a sexy funny love story. One trying to find love and make it his. The other trying not to fall into loves pitfalls again. But one snow storm makes everything turn upside down. Now tables are turned.
