Rock Hard Prince Charming

4 Stars

If I have to be honest about this book I would say it was enjoyable and hot with mistakes that through me off quite a bit. I have read books by this author a few times before and haven't ever come across mistakes like this. No matter.

This book was hot, tear worthy and frustrating all at the same time. I also yelled a few times at the book for the characters to get it together. lol It a great quick read.

Note: The author does include other books after the story which I for one didn't need to read nor want too. I want to read the story that I read the blurb for so no offense just thought I would mention that.

Who's your Prince Charming?

Happy Sexy Reading

Rye Hart has given her readers a wonderful modern-day Cinderella fairy tale romance that you won't want to put down until you've reached the end. The writing is good and the storyline kept me wanting to read more. This fast-paced, very enjoyable read has a great mix of turmoil, sizzling chemistry, obstacles, and hot sex scenes.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

I received a copy of the book for my reading pleasure.
Firstly I had been warned that the ARC had not gone through final editing but it was still so full of errors which made it difficult to concentrate on the story.
The story was of the Cinderella type. Prince meets girl, loses girl then finds her again and has to persuade her to be with him. It was okay but the execution was very poor.

I hate bad reviews because I know hard it must be for an author to write a book. However, I also believe that if someone spends their hard earned money to buy their book, they should get their money's worth! Since this was not a free read for me, I cannot spin a positive review. That being said, I don't understand all the positive reviews! To begin with, what is so attractive or worth reading about a Hero who is f...g another woman (in detail by the way) when the books begins without any condom? Was it really necessary to incorporate that in the book to make us then route for him and his h for a HEA?
Was it also necessary to make the Hero have unprotected sex no matter who his was with - present or past? I can sort of understand if he & h had unprotected sex because they are guaranteed for a HEA, but to make H have unprotected sex with EVERY woman he screws and not give a damn who he impregnates? (i.e. case in point with him impregnating a druggy ex 8 years ago who gave him his daughter). You would think he would have learned his lesson right?

What is attractive or worth reading about a Hero who shoves his d...k into heroine's mouth constantly making her gag and performs other crude hardcore acts on her as if she was a whore? (by the way, he did the same cruel sex acts with the other woman (or women!).

What is so great about a H who takes the heroine into the dungeon where he took other women to perform these crude sex acts with?

I could go on and on how much I disliked these characters and story plot. As I kept reading, I tried to have an open mind so I continued to read instead of trashing it and when I finished I honestly can't understand why this book is categorized as a "romance" because all it did was leave me disgusted. This is NOT a romance no matter how you spin it. At times it felt as if the H was raping the h but the stupid idiot that she was, kept taking it. That is NOT entertaining at all for me and I am truly stumped that it was for any one else. Oh well, at least I returned and got my money back!

Prince Enzo was delighted that his 9-year-old daughter, Esme, was finally coming home from private school where she had been for the past three months. He couldn’t wait to see her again. But his mother arrived first to tell him that his father’s fast-spreading cancer had made it necessary for him to relinquish the throne to Enzo immediately. His mother also recommended he find a wife!

Cindy was on the phone with her friend, Patrick, who had a job lined up for her. Two high society NY sisters needed an event coordinator to handle three huge events quickly coming up. Cindy had the experience and definitely needed the money right now! She walked into the office to hear one of the women screaming on the phone at someone. But the receptionist calmly announced her and both sisters were conveniently there for the interview.

Enzo and Lucas went to a bar to find a companion for Lucas. While there, a guy ran up to get pictures of the Prince and knocked over a woman behind him. She turned on him and read him the riot act, throwing something at him and putting him in his place for what he had done. Her fierce nature impressed Enzo, but he was taken away by the bouncers for his safety. When he returned to meet her, she was gone. He picked up what she had thrown at the guy – it was the heel of one of her shoes! Would he be able to find his Cinderella? Better yet, could they both find their happily ever after?

This was a wonderful story. Prince Enzo, while a player, had so many good things about him too. He had many responsibilities, but seemed to think things through and take care of what was important. And Cindy was amazing! Grab yourself a copy of this book and enjoy a fairy tale brought to life!

Cindy and Enzo are a fairytale match made in HEA heaven❣️ Cindy is your everyday average woman - working to make ends meet, living her ordinary life, hating her boss, tolerating her job. When she meets the Prince Enzo she cannot imagine what a royal could possible see in a normal girl like her, but what she doesn't grasp is that she is exactly what the picky prince is looking for. Enzo is tired of everyone dictating his life. His mother tries to run his world as though she final approval over all his descions and he is destined to take the throne for his sick father the king. The only bright spot he has is daughter Esme. She is so unaffected by all the politics and craziness that comes with royal life and loves him for him. Now if only he could find a woman that boast the same claim. When he meets the beautiful Cindy she is very reluctant to even start something with him due to fact of who he is and that is quite refreshing to him. She has priorities and something in her head other than social plans and money. So Enzo is even more determined to see her especially when she so easily wins the affections of his daughter. But life under the scrutiny of royal status is not easy or to taken lightly and a thick skin and sturdy backbone is needed.

Enzo is the crown prince and a play boy. He is also a loving father to the little girl he had out of wedlock. Now his father is ill and wants to hand over the crown. His mother states that the transition will go much smoother is he shows that he is settling down. She wants to see him married to a noble woman. Enzo isn't against marrying and gaining a mother for his daughter but he doesn't want any woman his mother picks out. So he goes to the US to represent his father at some charity galas. While he is out with his friend and attendant, her hears a woman stand up for herself against a drunk snob. Enzo knows this is the type of woman he wants to marry.
Cindy just got a job helping organize some charity gala parties. It isn't her best job because one of her bosses has a big attitude. During a party, one of the guest security people is rude and says harassing things to her. Prince Enzo comes to her rescue and fires the man. When he comes to apologize to Cindy, she is so startled she dumps water on the prince's shirt. Prince Enzo is handsome and very kind and Cindy can't think straight. Prince Enzo is interested in her but can she stand up to her boss's disapproval, his mother's dislike and the paparazzi?
This is a great story with a prince who really is charming. I voluntarily received a copy of this story and this is my honest review.

A modern day fairytale that's fit for a...queen? Cindy isn't expecting to meet a prince,have an affair with a prince or fall for a prince when she starts her new job as Event Coordinator for a company ran by 2 very quirky sisters. Prince Enzo is in New York for the largest charity gala series, he's representing the royal family in his fathers absence. His mother, the queen, is pressuring him to get married but Enzo isn't interested, until he meets Cindy. They have a bumpy first meeting but Enzo is smitten and he's not going to let Cindy walk away before he gets a chance to make a connection with her. Cindy is worried about her job because one of the sisters is a major witch and she's just waiting for Cindy to screw up. Enzo wants a woman who is strong willed and can take care of herself but he gets irritated that Cindy doesn't want his help or for him to take care of her. Lots of drama and catty people causing problems for them and it becomes to much. Enzo has responsibilities that he can't walk away from, including his daughter Esme and Cindy isn't willing to leave New York for someone she doesn't know that well. Can they work things out and become the King and Queen of Aramis or will they continue to be stubborn and miserable without each other?

A modern day back talking Cinderella meets her single daddy Prince Charming!

Rock Hard Prince Charming is a naughty mixture of the fairytale genre we all know with some dramatic twists and turns, lost jobs, hot times, meddling reporters, insta- all feel and a torture chamber I am positive was not in the original * winks*
With his father's illness getting worse, it has fast tracked his life expectancy his to less than six months; Prince Enzo will be taking over as King sooner than he had anticipated.
So Prince Enzo needs to get married quickly. His mother, the Queen, is rather on the harsh side. She has made it clear who her choice is for Enzo's partner.
Not wanting the women of his mothers choosing, Enzo sets out to find someone he and his daughter would both be comfortable with and hopefully satisfy his mother.
He found her, working as the event coordinator at the Gala in New York, he was attending- Enzo knew there was something special about Cindy from the moment he saw her.
Convincing Cindy, she was the one may take a bit more convincing since they had just met and are from two different worlds.
What a fun, fantasy filled hot read! Rye Hart did amazing things with this one!

An insta love story about a Prince, Enzo, who happens to be a playboy but also a devoted father to a nine year old. When he meets the event coordinator for a charity gala he is immediately taken by her. Cindy is one who doesn't take anything sitting down and stands up for herself unless it involves her job. When he takes an interest in her, her boss is jealous and petty since she wants Enzo for herself. When she meets his daughter, Esme, both like each other right away and right then Enzo knows she's the one. But as they try to navigate their relationship with the paparazzi, his mother who doesn't approve, Cindy who is very independent, along with her boss out to get her, the relationship is already in jeopardy. Will they make it?
A great read with steamy scenes and a Prince who finally finds the one and falls hard and a woman who also falls for her Prince but has a difficulty letting go of her independence and actually rely on someone else. I enjoyed these two and their insta love and the ending where there is a surprise twist as to who finally gets them together for their HEA.

The problem with being a Prince and heir to the throne, eventually you will need a wife, your future Queen. It doesn't help when your own mother , the present Queen keeps matchmaking with unsuitable women. Never gonna happen. Then, at a charity gala you hear the most sexy voice ever. Who is this woman but as fate dictates, you never get to see her. Never mind , maybe you will soon. Event co-ordinator Cindy Peterson needs this job badly but working with bosses Selena and Emily White are the worst ever. Well Selena is just a b***h. Fate is being kind today as Prince Enzo is there and it totally smitten. This is where the fun starts. Enzo is trying to have a date with Cindy, keep Selena away from him, deal with his mother, find a wife and give time to his precious beautiful little 9 year old daughter...phew. He has a lot on his plate. A brilliantly written story and how Cindy has to deal with maybe becoming Enzo's girlfriend and all that entails. Plus, will Enzo be the ruler he is meant to. The chemistry between them hot, hot hot. Loved it all.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I really enjoy the Rock Hard series Ms Hart has been writing and this one is no different. I found this story of Cindy and Enzo a really page turner. I liked the fact that this story line is very similar to a fairytale with Enzo being a prince and Cindy although only a just a woman trying to make a living, she has to put up with two sisters as bosses. One of which doesn't treat her all that well and seems to be jealous of Cindy. Add in the little girl Enzo has and this story is so good. Once Enzo meets Cindy he can't help but to be drawn to her. She is so different from any other woman he has met. She doesn't care that he is a prince and isn't out to snag him for what others feel he can do for them. The chemistry is so hot and steamy between the two. Can she let herself fall for him? What about his mother the queen? Can she accept Cindy when she doesn't seem to even accept her own granddaughter. Will they get their fairytale ending>? Pick up a copy of this book and find out. You will love it.

Wow! What an array of opinions on this book. I guess we all interpret the authors words with our own mind set.

I don't over think these types of books because I understand this is something meant to entertain us. I understand some may think this crude yet others like the hardcore kink. While reading I found aspects of this book both appealing and crude yet I will be honest and say that this appealed to me. I guess this called to my dark side as so many of us have. Sick or not it's what we enjoy. Don't judge.

The author put a lot into her writing. The Prince was on the rough side but sometimes in life those that have just don't get their behaviors are not acceptable but on the other side of the coin, you could look at this as a very kinky fairy tale. Some people enjoy this control and kink in their lives. Once again don't judge just either enjoy or move on to something that more suits your tastes.

I personally found this book hot, disturbing to a point and was unable to put it down. So, I guess that has me labeled in the group with kink.

I just love this ROCK HARD series from Rye Hart. They are standalone books and very steamy hot reads.
This book did not disappoint me. It is very well written and has a great storyline that is a bit unusual.
There is lots of chemistry between the two main characters and the story flows easily.
The story has emotions, drama, passion and steamy hot scenes in it. The twists and turns makes the story a great read.
Enzo is a single dad prince that has to find a woman to marry. His mother, the queen, has trouble with accepting his daughter and his dates. When Enzo meets Cindy he just finds she is a special woman and she does not care that he is a prince. He just have to have her.
Enzo is a really charming character. Cindy is sweet but strong.
I loved this story and enjoyed the time reading it. It is a fun, sweet read.
I can only recommend it to others.

This was another quick and easy read. Although it was slightly better than the other ones I've read lately.

The main character are Prince Enzo and Cindy. It was a book based on the classic Cinderella story but with a twist. Prince Enzo is next in line to the throne but his mother would like him to find a wife. Enzo isn't really ready to settle down unless he can find someone who's good with his kid. That's where Cindy comes in, she's a girl who has had to work for everything she's got. She isn't used to the attenion from a Prince which is why she thows a drink at him.

There are some secondary characters but none that were particularly noteworthy.

The storyline isn't the most original but it didn't need to be as it was such a quick and easy read. The pacing is good but nothing exceptional.

I always think that Ms Harts books can't get any better and then she goes and writes this and proves me very wrong. It's hard to decide but this is definitely one of my favorites by her!! It was such a great story and even though Enzo was prince, soon to be king, he wasn't arrogant and pretentious. He was sweet, loving and passionate. I liked Cindy but a couple times, I wanted to smack her. A (hot) prince wants to be with, stop complaining and be happy lol. It was understandable though. Little Esme was adorable. I don't think the story would have been nearly as good without her in it. Another great story by Ms Hart that I highly recommend reading!!

Ever wish you had prince charming to love and take care of you? Not Cindy! This is a strong independent woman who wants be able to do it all for herself. Too bad she meets Prince Enzo who is determined to make her his and take her into this world. I really enjoyed this story. The chemistry between the two main characters were off the charts and Enzo was just swoon worthy. Loved reading the female character being so strong as well, it was nice to see. A very good read.

I loved Rock Hard Prince Charming! Cindy and Enzo are the best prince and soon to be princess I have read in a long time. Enzo knows what he wants and he goes for it. He goes up against everyone in the palace to get what he wants and he is no whining male either. Yes, he can be a man whore, but he does his duty and makes sure he takes care of his daughter himself. Cindy is a strong working woman and makes sure that she has what she needs. She doesn't want anyone giving her anything. So when Enzo falls for her and wants to give her things sometimes it pisses her off. I liked that. This was a very enjoyable book and would highly recommend it.

A cute cinderella like fairy tale. Prince Enzo is attending a charity function in the US when he meets Cindy at the event where she is working for the party planning company. The prince has a nine year old daughter out of wedlock that he adores and is raising her after her mother's death. His parents have never recognized the daughter. The prince is attracted to Cindy because she has a mind of her own and is so unlike all the royal wantabee's his mother tries to pair him up with. Lots of drama, suspense and passion. But a cute love story that is sweet to read. I received an arc copy and voluntarily chose to review.

Another epic addition to author Rye Hart's Rock Hard series! Rock Hard Prince Charming started off as a hot read, but escalated into a passionate love story. I loved the similarities to Cinderella, but the author wrote it with such flair that made it seem "one of a kind."

I loved the feel of the supporting characters, the drama, the family dynamic that came full circle and the desire and electricity I felt between Enzo and Cindy!

I would recommend Rock Hard Prince Charming to fellow readers. A delightful read that will make you daydream of finding your very own prince.

Quick and sexy read. Enzo and Cindy fall for one another immediately, but she's so hard headed she won't give in to her feelings. She wants to be able to take care of herself, and doesn't want to be a burden on the future king. Enzo has other plans though, he's fallen for Cindy and won't take no for an answer. Unfortunately, things back home go from bad to worse for him and he's forced to leave her behind, not knowing if he'll ever get to see her again. He's depressed and speaks of ruling as a single man for the rest of his life, until he gets the surprise of his life the night before his coronation.

I love royal romances. It's a modern day fairytale to live vicariously through. Rye Hart doesn't disappoint.
Enzo is about to take the crown in his country. On a business trip to New York City, he sees a silhouetted figure in a bar. He's sure that he needs to meet her.
Cindy is working as an event planner, when she meets Enzo. Even knowing he's a prince, she can't help the pull that she feels for him.
But she's not sure if she fits into his world.
I really enjoyed this sweet story with a great happy ever after! 5 stars!!

Another delightful Rock Hard series read from Rye Hart. The storyline for this one is great; both primary and secondary characters are developed so well that you feel as if you're right there with them as action unfolds. Even Cindy's snarky boss, Selena, grabs your attention and you want to smack her right upside the head! 🙄 While not a lot of heavy plot twists and turns, there's enough to keep you flipping those pages. It's a great little read that belongs in your library. (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and loved it!) ❤️

Prince Enzo is tired of everyone telling him how he is suppose to live and is ready to put his foot down. Cindy is determined to work for her own way and doesn't think she is worth much. One look is all it takes. Will Enzo put his foot down with his mother? Will Cindy take the chance and give in to her feelings for Enzo?

Another Rye Hart hit! At first I was iffy with how Enzo was going to be, but he completely proved me wrong as soon as he met Cindy. I was happy with Cindy's need to take care of herself, but she finally recognized that it is okay to be happy. Good steamy read!
