Royal Tryst: A Royal Bad Boy Romance
I’m the Crown Prince of Scandal
I’ve been told to stay away from her
Well, that's not f*cking happening...
The world knows me as the royal playboy
But this time, I'm playing for keeps
All the things you’ve read about me in the tabloids?
They’re probably true.
Trouble didn’t find me, I went looking for it.
I lived for the next woman, the next party, the next fight.
Until it all caught up with me.
These days?
I'm on lockdown in my own palace, under decree from the Royal Council to stay out of trouble.
If I want to become the next King, I have to clean up my act.
Which means no more media scandals and no more women.
Fine, whatever it takes. I’m on my best behavior.
Until she arrives.
My best friend’s younger sister.
All. Grown. Up.
With a sexy, sweet smile and womanly curves for days.
She's here for the royal festival, and she's being courted for marriage.
I’m definitely not on the list of approved suitors.
But I like breaking the rules, and I'm ready for a tasty diversion.
She looked absolutely delicious waltzing back into my palace...
I bet she’ll look even better in my bed.
Royal Tryst is a full-length romance novel featuring a lady killer Prince and the sweet, sassy heroine who brings him to his knees. This contemporary story has a splash of humor, a dash of intrigue, and plenty of steam to heat up your e-reader as these two fall into trouble... and for each other! No cliffhangers, no cheating, and a guaranteed heartwarming, happy ending.

Royal Tryst by Virginia Sexton and Ruby Steele a five-star read that won’t let you go. This was a great read, it was a real page turner. I adore Virginia Sexton and have read everything she’s published I think and I’m starting to get that way about Ruby Steele as well. Together they set the page alight. It’s hot and steamy and there is so much heat that you may need fresh underwear on. But there is also a story along with it. A thrilling read that will keep you hooked. Well done both on a job well done.

So when he sees a beautiful woman arriving ahead of the Festival he is very attracted to this curvy raven haired young woman. When he asks his best friend, Spencer who she is he is suprised to find out its Serphina Strathmore . Spencer's once dorky sister that always followed them around and annoyed them also known as Sera. Parker decides that he wants to get close to Seraso he rearranges seating and does anything he can to be close to her even for just a moment. Little does he know Sera has always had a major crush on him and kept up with all the tabloid info about him.
Parker finds out why Sera is back after 7 years. She is about to turn 23 and must marry in order to carry on the families wealth. All because a 400 year old agreement. As Suitors line up to basically apply for Sera's honor Parker starts to get jealous. And even more so when he realizes Finley, someone he cant stand is one of the Suitors. As Parker sneaks off with her in her spare time he begins to experience very real feelings he cant believe or reason with. Will he let Sera marry someone and also give all her firsts to someone else?

Oh Dayum... Another book written by these two and I know that I'm doomed.
Doomed because I know that the story will he doesn't, hot, forbidden and mind blowing.
Ruby Steele and Virginia Sexton are two amazing authors and their words speaks volumes. Their writing is simple yet powerful, super engaging and stunning, full of sexyness and so much more.
Royal Tryst is their latest release and tells the stories of Prince Parker and Seraphina.
Prince Parker is a royal badass, a party guy and a womanizer. When he sets his mind on something or someone he will do whatever it takes to get it but sometimes surprises are just around the corner and when he sees the beautiful woman he can't imagine who she is.
If he wants to become a king he needs to change but that's easiest said than done.
Sera is back home after 7 years away. She needs to get married in order to carry their families name and wealth. Now she must select the perfect Suitors but how can she do it?
Let's just say that this is no ordinary royal tale.
You have got prince and princess but with a naughty twist. Oh boy...
The plot is amazing and the interaction between the characters is beautiful and sweet. The story progressed smoothly and quickly and I enjoyed every minute of it. So good.
This book will provide you live, trust, desire and loyalty as well as betrayal, deceive and bad people. But let's not forget the hot stuff... Oh boy... Yummy...
Another amazing book girls and I can't wait for the next one.

Another wonderful story by Virginia Sexton and Ruby Steele. Parker is a Prince who until recently was a wild, partying womanizer. He needs to straighten out his behavior so that he can take over the reigns of the kingdom. The Harvest Festival is about to begin and tons of people are coming into the kingdom for the month celebration. Spencer, his best friend and all of his family arrive. When Parker catches a glimpse at Spencer's little sister Seraphina, he can't believe the woman she has turned into such a beautiful woman. He can't take his eyes off of her, but Spencer tells him he better keep his hands off his little sister. It's been 7 years since they have seen one another since she was away at college, getting her Environmental Engineering degree. Little does he know, Sera came to find a husband, because she has to get married. Someone discovered an agreement made up hundreds of years ago that stated all females in the family had to be married by their 23rd birthday and also had to be a virgin at the time of the marriage. Sera would much rather be in Africa, helping with the issues there. The attraction between Parker and Sera is intense and they start sneaking around to do a little messing around. The rest of the time it seems she is introduced to potential suitors. One of the suitors, Finley, thinks he can take Sera as his wife and decides on trying his hand at forcing the marriage. Parker has a huge dislike for the man, as he has been investigating Finley's activities which mostly are illegal and harmful. He's a bad choice for a husband. Parker isn't on the list of potential suitors because his reputation doesn't make the advisers or Sera's parents think he would be a good husband. He can't stand the thought of anyone else having his beautiful Sera. Will Parker decide in time to fight for her? Will he be able to stop Finley's sneaky plans? Fantastic read with wonderful characters. Hot romantic scenes, family loyalty, friendship, exciting twists and turns and realizing you need to be true to your heart. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Prince Parker used to be the playboy prince,partying and messing about with women until the Royal Council has a talk with him. If he doesn't settle down and show he is a mature and responsible ruler to be, then they will support a movement to abolish the monarchy. They even told him he needs to get married. So Prince Parker stopped all his partying and started going to council meetings but so far he can't settle on any of the wife candidates being presented to him. Now it is time for the yearly Grand Festival. While Parker is talking to his best friend, he sees a gorgeous sexy woman arrive. He can't take his eyes off her until his friend tells him that the woman is his sister, Sera and threatens the Prince to keep him away. Parker is just too drawn to Sera. She used to be an annoying little pest who followed him everywhere but now times have changed.
Sera has just graduated from college when bad news hits her family. An ancient agreement has just been rediscovered. Any daughter from her family has to be married by the time she is twenty three or all the family's property and fortune is taken away. Over three hundred years ago, a rich man loaned her relatives money to help them over a rough spot. He wanted to marry into their family but was turned down so he forced them to sign the agreement saying the the family's property and money goes to his family if the agreement is broken. Sera is at the festival to find a husband but the only man she is attracted to is Prince Parker. She decides that it can't hurt to spend time with Parker so she can have on last bit of fun before she is chained to someone she can't love. It is too bad Parker is too much of a playboy to ever marry her.
This is a great book about two people who are being pulled between their desires and family duty. The chemistry between Sera and Parker is super hot! I voluntarily received a copy of this story and this is my honest review.

I give Royal Tryst 5 stars for entertaining me from beginning to end. I was upset for how Sera was being treated not only by her family but all the suitors that came calling...like what she may want or need has no bearing on her own life. I was very happy when Parker gave his file over. Made my day.
Virginia Sexton and Ruby Steele have paired again for another delightful, entertaining book. This book speaks of royalty and the pressures they face, but also speaks of the evils that always lurk in the shadows. Great characters, good plot, fantastic writing.
Parker is standing with his best friend, Spencer, when he notices her. Who is this raven-haired vixen giving out orders with poised confidence like she owns the place? It’s Sera. His best friend wants him to stay away from his sister, but this time, he’s playing for keeps. Will she give him the time of day?
Parker, is the Crown Prince of Scandal, the Prince of Ostwyn. If he wants to become the next King, he’ll have to clean up his act. He hasn’t left the palace grounds in months except for official engagements. His nights of non-stop partying and seducing women at every opportunity are over. Can he stay on the straight and narrow?
Seraphina Strathmore is the goofy kid who followed her brother and his best friend, Prince Parker, everywhere and hid in credenzas to spy on them. She has just come home from University where she got a degree in Environmental Engineering. She’d love to go to Africa to help with the water crisis, working with a team to find sustainable solutions. Does she get what she wants?
Royal Tryst is a contemporary romance novella that deals with how women are treated in certain cultures and that it really is a man’s world. There was also mystery and intrigue in this plot.

Ohh what a great read of lies and deception. I love a good book with so much evilness for the prince to overcome and save the princess.
Seraphina is being forced to marry to save her family's wealth and livelihood. Her parents don't want her to sacrifice and marry, but it is out of their control when a 400 year old agreement between families has tied their hands.
Prince Parker has been a playboy and nuisance for too long. He has been forced by the Royal court to shape up or ship off. He has been on his best behavior for months now. His father is retiring soon and he will be taking over the Crown. When his bff Spencer's sister shows up for the festival he is floored. No way is this the same tomboy pain in the arse from his childhood.
Parker decides h must have her. Seraphina and Parker start-up a secret tryst during her stay for the festival. But Parker starts to feel jealous when several suitors start to court her. One in particular named Finely. When the tryst is discovered Seraphina is forced to make a decision. Which decision will she chose? Parker or family obligation.
Man this book had a great storyline, with loads of secrets, lies, deception and love. A quick solid read that was hot off the press and full of amazing sexcapades. The characters are fun-loving individuals who really put others before themselves. Parker isn't afraid to grovel on his knees to beg for what is his. Such a beautiful thing for a man to do. Wouldn't you agree? I really think you will enjoy this story of arranged marriages and fighting for love. A hot night read!

ROYAL TYRST is a full-length royal romance about bad boy Crown Prince Parker and his best friend's younger sister, Sera, who used to tag along and pester them when she was just a little girl. Years later, she and her family returns as a guest of the royal harvest festival and he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She has grown up as the most beautiful woman, and also the most off-limits.
Seraphina had a royal obligation to her family to marry before she turned twenty-three and Prince Parker , the Prince of Scandal and ultimate playboy, was declared not suitable as a suitor. However, he really wanted her to be his and she was set to wed his arch-enemy who didn't deserve a woman like Sera. So, he cleaned up his act and saved her from a disastrous and loveless marriage. Finally, Sera married her childhood crush and he made all of her dreams come true.
I absolutely LOVE this book! This was a fantastic and sweet read, with hot royal tyrsts, scenes that frustrated because the antagonist in this book was very effective, and scenes that pulled heartstrings when friendships and loyalties were tested and won. The best part of this book, without giving any spoiler, was when Prince Parker saved Sera, and her belated realization, when she was already about to leave. That airport scene was the best! And of course, they lived happily ever after. This book is one of the authors' best works yet. And I'm excited to read more from them.
I have read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review and recommendation voluntarily shared.

This is a great story with love, passion, evilness, lying and family! Prince Parker has been a playboy and the king has given him a choice to clean up his act or he will not be the king. There is an old law brought to them that the power can be taken from his family if he is not deemed worthy. Parker has been working on his Royal duties since and one day a beautiful woman is entering his palace and unknown to him it’s his best friend, Spencer’s little sister, Serafina. Lets say growing up Serafina followed Parker and Spencer around and was a annoying tomboy.

Parker is smitten with Sera and spends many stolen kisses and time with her not realizing he has fallen in love as she’s been with him since she was a kid.

Loved it
Parker is a playboy Prince, who has bee n on lock down for the last month. The Council of advisers want him to clean up his act or risk losing the kingdom.
Sera is the daughter of a Baron, and sister to Parker's best friend Spenser. She is back at the Palace for the first time in 7 years. She has come for the Harvest Festival, a month long celebration, and to find a husband.
Parker is gobsmacked, when he sees Sera. She is no longer the annoying little girl that followed him and Spencer everywhere. He can't take his eyes off her. Even though Spencer warned him off he can't help but want to make her his. What he hadn't count on was falling for her and knowing she can do better then him.
Sera has to remain a virgin and find a husband to fulfill the terms of a very old contract. Playing with Parker is testing her resolve. She knows he isn't looking for more than a good time, but she can't stay away. Why not have some fun, before she has to marry and assume the duties as a lady of the court.
One of Parker's enemies wants Sera, if form no other reason than Parker wants her. He has the power to destroy Sera's family.
Loved Parker and Sera's story. Fast paced and steamy. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. Loved it so I bought it and will be reading again.

Another great read by these two authors and this one about a reformed playboy Prince, Parker, and his best friend’s younger sister, Sera. Sera has had a crush on Parker since they were kids and when Parker sees her again after 7 years, he is flabbergasted at the beautiful woman she has become. Unfortunately she has returned to get married to save her family and it’s being arranged by her family’s advisors. No one knows why Sera is objectifying herself to this ancient tradition and while all this is going on with suitors, Parker wants her for himself, he’s clueless as to why she’s doing this and is horrified when he finds out who her husband will be. Will he save her in time before she goes through with it ?
A great steamy read and the attraction between Parker & Sera was on fire and I liked how it all played out, the waiting and anticipation to the finale. I also liked how Parker did everything he could to save Sera from the engagement and didn’t give up when he learns the truth of why she’s doing what she’s doing and how sweet and determined Sera was.....putting her family first ahead of her wants and desires. I would have liked an epilogue (I love my epilogues) to see how it all turns out in the future for them.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the story of Sera, a young woman who returns home after finishing her degree. Sera is attending the royal festival in hopes of finding a husband and is meeting a variety of suitors her family have approved. Sera really doesn't want to get married, nut she has to before she turns 23 in order to save her family's titles and fortune. Prince Parker is best friends with Sera's brother Spencer and is hosting the royal festival. When Parker sees Sera, he can't believe she is the same girl who used to follow them around. Parker wants her for himself and tries to get closer to her. Sera always had a crush on Parker and she is happy to be getting attention from him, but she still knows she needs to marry. Sera and Parker have a great connection, but have many things against them. This was a good story and I thought there was so much against Parker and Sera. I thought Spencer should have tried to protect Sera better. I liked how Parker wanted to do the right thing with Finlay. Another good one from Ruby and Virginia.

Sera and Parker make for quite the crowning glory! Sera now can officially attest that the upper crust meat markets leave much to be desired. With her birthday looming and the threat of her family's complete ruin she has to find herself a husband and quickly. Too bad all the suitors are antiquated or chauvinist - but beggars can’t be choosers. Parker is known as the Royal Bad Boy and quite rightly deserved the title, but the time has come for him to step up to the plate and do right by Ostwyn. He has been a virtual monk and saint trying to clean up his image and hopefully it will pay off. When his best friend’s little sister Sera comes back into his life and she is no longer the gangly awkward kid he remembers but a beautiful smart woman he is instantly hooked. Sera has him mesmerized from first glance, but with his image he would never be considered a viable suitor for her. They however can not deny the insane chemistry between them and Parker is cannot deny teaching Sera the pleasures he can give her. Sera has a duty to her family but what about the duty to her heart?

4 1/2 Stars - Highly Recommend - Great character development & Plot - Very hot intimate scenes
This is a contemporary romance that features a bad-boy prince and his best friend's sister that he has known forever, but he hasn't seen her in 7 years and boy has she grown up!
Even though Seraphina knocks his socks off as he sees her arrive, Spencer, her brother and the Prince's best friend, warns him off when he sees the way the Prince looks at her. Unknown to the Prince though it is because she must marry a suitable man before her birthday to save the family, and everyone knows that the Prince is not that man ... he may have been in a self-imposed time out from partying for the last few months, but everybody is aware of his exploits.
This is a full length story with no cheating and a HEA, but it does contain adult language, very detailed and erotic intimate scenes, discussion of drugs and drinking, and some violence. If any of these topics are offensive, or a trigger, to you then this may not be the book for you.

Serafina comes home after graduating from college to settle down and marry to save the family's titles. All Serafina has ever wanted was her brother's best friend Crown Prince Parker. When Parker sees her for the first time in years he can't believe its her. When her brother tells him she's off limits it makes him want her more. Parker saves her from a possible suitor that is when he makes his pursuit of her known. For a few nights they are able to sneak away and spend time with each other however they can't have intercourse because part of the arrangement Serafina has to fulfil is that she remains a virgin. When things become real for Parker will he be able to keep Serena from marrying someone else?
I loved this story I couldn't put it down until I was at the end. It was like a rollercoaster ride with the ups and downs going on. I can't wait for more by these authors. If you haven't read anything by them then you need to do so now. A five star must read!

This is a book I was sure I would hate even though it was a collaboration between two of my favorite authors, Virginia Sexton and Ruby Steele and I was definitely WRONG! This book turned out to be a very pleasant surprise that I encourage everyone to read.
The Royal Playboy, Prince Parker is suppose to be the next King but until he can change his scandalous ways that will never happen. Serphina Strathmore is no longer the dorky little sister of Spencer, Parker's best friend but has become a beautiful woman who is attending the month long Festival in Parker's Country to find and marry before her 23rd birthday so she can save her family. Parker falls madly in love with Serphina and may turn out to be the cog in her perfect plan. The book is a well written collaboration between two authors and brings a new twist to the age old story of Cinderella. Will Serphina get her Royal HEA or will she end up marrying a frog? One click to find out.

This was an interesting story of family, loyalty, redemption and sensuality. I loved Serafina and her loyalty to her family. She is resigned to what she has to do and does not argue what she has to do. Her brother is useless and does not take a stand for her. It take Parker telling him to get his out of his behind. There was something about Parker I liked and his since of loyalty to his country. He picks and chooses he battles, but he stands and fights when needed. Virginia Sexton and Ruby Steele wrote pretty good suspenseful royal triangle. It was written so that I kept turning the pages wondering when things were going to come to a head. They kept you turning the pages by giving little pieces of the puzzle at a time. There were times I felt I had read this book by someone else, yet there were times it was different. Overall I loved the book even with it being similar to other books I've read. I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review.

Prince Parker has been quite the wild one, but he’s trying to turn over a new leaf before his antics give the Reformists enough ammo to take down the monarchy—yes he was that bad. Since the Spring, he’s been taking his duties seriously, preparing to take over from his father, the king. And then he sees his best friend’s little sister, Seraphina, all grown up now. And he wants her.
Sera is back home to take care of family matters. She’s entering the courtship season where suitable candidates will vie for her hand in marriage. Her family’s future depends on her. Then she sees Parker, her childhood crush, and she feels a tingle shoot straight through her.
This was a great story filled with electricity and passion, deceptive appearances, and a villain.

Prince Parker has been laying low in the palace taking his responsibility’s to the month long ball serious but when he sees Seraphina he won’t her, but he knows his reputation will hurt her if they are found out so they sneak around.

Prince Parker has been a playboy prince for years, but is finally trying to behave and do the right thing. He has to clean up his act if he wants to inherit the crown and be king.
Sera has worked so hard the past few years to get her degree. As much as she wants to put that degree to good use, she goes back home to attend the royal festival and be presented with potential suitors for marriage. Only a few people know the real reason Sera has come home.
This is a wonderful story, full of humor, jealousy, intrigue and betrayal and smokin hot sexy scenes. It is a total page turner that will have you burning the midnight oil reading "just one more chapter" and still being up three chapters later because you just can't seem to put it down. I definitely recommend this 5 star read!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This full length story is full of steamy, undercover love scenes between two people who shouldn't be together. Parker, king-in-training, must reinvent himself in to a respectable, beyond reproach prince or risk forfeiting/destroying the Crown. Sera is on a mission to wed -- and maintain her virginity until her wedding night... Parker will do everything to teach her in the ways of amour as well as protect her from harm when he realizes she is in jeopardy of falling into the clutches of a despicable, deceitful man. Great story that has you rooting for Parker and hurting along side him when Sera turns him away...

In a few words a series of trysts that will both lead them….Oops I just revealed too much. A fairy tale with a lot of steam and passion to manage.

Okay not like the Disney Fairytales but more of a modern tale. Parker was the typical modern prince. A playboy with wild tendencies but things change when he has a chance of losing his position. He becomes all he needs to be to take the throne. Then Serafina walks into his palace and his life. She is off limits for more than one reason but that is all the more reason for him to explore what she is making him feel. These two have some wonderful chemistry and many obstacles between them but as the story plays out, my heart soared even higher. The ending could not have been more perfect.
I definitely would recommend this book.

This is about the best written sweet romance story! I wish I could give this one more than 5-Stars but Ruby Steele & Virginia Sexton have done it again and this is one book you don't want to miss! There are many bumps in the road with family responsibilities and all the other suitors blocking his path but can their intense connection and sizzling chemistry overcome everything blocking the way for this virgin Lady and playboy Prince to reach their HEA? I know I will read this one again, it's too good of a sweet yet sexy romance to not be totally hooked on it. Definite One-Click Must Read!
