Regal

St. Claire #4

by Tina Martin

His eyes would always follow her signature strut with her tall heels and fitted dresses. He always had something witty to say with her because he just HAD to say something. But the small talk was no longer cutting it. He wanted to know the real Felicity James. Regal St. Claire isn’t single because someone broke his heart. He never desired marriage because he didn’t think it fit him. He was okay with being himself and not tied down to a woman. But when he met Felicity, he knew he wouldn’t mind being forever joined to a woman like her. She’s feisty. Smart. She’s the kind of woman who could keep him on his toes. The only problem is, she can’t stand him. Felicity has been going out of her way to avoid Regal, but she can’t avoid him when he comes into her place of business, Wedded Bliss, Inc., ready to sign up for her marriage matchmaking service. He figured the best way to get to know the woman of his dreams is to pretend like he’s searching for someone else. All the while, he’s learning her mannerisms and hoping that she’ll eventually see that she’s really the woman he wants. * * * The St. Claire Series are all standalone Book 1 - ROYAL (Royal and Gemma) Book 2 - RAMSEY (Ramsey and Gianna) Book 3 - ROMULUS (Romulus and Siderra) Book 4 - REGAL (Regal and Felicity) Book 5 - MAGNUS (Magnus and Shiloh)

So much love

Regal from day one was always my one. Felicity had a lot going on, and I wanted her to recognize her true love was right in front of her. Loved Regal's tenacity.

[Michele Hallahan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't want to have a favorite, but...

I knew when the series started that Regal would have a special place in my heart. I loved this story, and when I say that I laughed hard, and repeatedly, that is no exaggeration. For him to be as funny and lighthearted as he comes off as, then to switch it up in an instant, and be take charge, or the shoulder to cry on, that was nice to see. But then, to switch it up again, melt the panties right off, and serve it all up with a side of thug...It doesn't get any better than that. Baby Hands (I died) got on my nerves a time or two, but she also made me sad. She was hard on herself, almost punishing, and when you're in that state of mind, you have a tendency to block your blessings. Regal wasn't having it though. A scheme here, a dose of seduction there, he was on a "whatever it takes" mission. In the end, hard work and dedication paid off. I loved this story and I hope we get to see them again, all of them. I at least want to see if Regal predicted right 😂.

His eyes would always follow her signature strut with her tall heels and fitted dresses. He always had something witty to say with her because he just HAD to say something.

All the while, he’s learning her mannerisms and hoping that she’ll eventually see that she’s really the woman he wants. Eventually he’s able to get her to consent to marriage to assure the return of Rayne, the child she gave up for adoption 4 years ago.

[L. Boogie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m confused I thought felicity was Gianna’s age which would make her 29/30 so five years ago she wouldn’t still be in college, she’d be a few years out of college. Timing seems off

Ok I was with regal until he was willing to withhold her daughter’s whereabouts to get what he wants. That hella selfish. And felicity mom is a wicked wretch

I hate that the private I lied to felicity.

This is really messing with me bc I really liked r egalitarian. He was my fave but I can’t support what he dead. I was afraid his own book would make me like him less and my fears were unfounded until this point. His rant that I begged you to call your mom and you didn’t doesn’t justify him straight up not telling her the info plain when he first found out or stopping the investigator from telling her

A personal note ....

I'm a big fan of Tina Martin, so it's extremely difficult to write anything less than a five star review for this author. This is going to be my first.
Off the bat ..out the gate... I don't like the character Felicity James . I know she's trying to make retribution for her pass mistakes but to gave her baby away . I sorry that was a deal breaker for me . I have a difficult time getting pass 34%.
Whenever I buy and enjoy a new read my sister always points out that I take it to seriously and talk how wonderful the characters and it's in entity. I just love a good book .
However with Regal sis prove to me how personal I take these reads and the plot the author produces . I sorry I can't enjoy this one .
Abandoned, abortion , neglect. How how how how . How can a woman make such a stupid choice.
Again I'm sorry for a negative review.
My 4 stars is based solely on the writer skills .She is a phenomenal writer. I love a Tina Martin read , just not this one .
There is so much I want to say in this review but Amazon worn't published if I do.
Anyway, every though I didn't complete this read . I looking forward to the next release.

Sweet

WOW this series is Awesome and I am really enjoying every book.They are great romance with awesome characters and great dialogue.It's full of intrigue with emotional drama. Along with their sizzling hot passions it will keep you turning pages until the end. The women are strong and brave with men who are willing to fight to reach for futures with them and of course their passions are sizzling hot connections. It will make you feel sad and bring tears to your eyes for part of the story. But I have enjoyed every moment of their relationship.Its definitely entertaining with interesting stories and its full of humor Along with their sizzling hot passions it will keep you turning pages until the end. I enjoyed every moment of their relationship It's another one that I didn't put my reader down until I finished the story if you are like myself you will enjoy them because it's totally romantic. This is a HEA romance.

Romance fiction. Book 4 of 6. (last of the brothers' series)

Regal St. Claire. Intelligent, successful, humorous, play too much, chocolate and fine. My fav brother of the St. Claire's. Since all of his brothers are no longer playing the field, Regal feels it's time he gets serious and settle down. Who better to hire than a Wedding Builder--Felicity James.

Felicity James. Wedding Builder. Finds love for everyone, but she's not willing to allow love for herself after the heartbreak she suffered. Besides, she has more important issues at hand. So, she tries to focus her mind upon bringing her past to present. There was something she lost and she's determine to find. So, she's not interested in taking Regal on as a client because 1) she feels he isn't ready and would be a waste of time.

I definitely enjoyed this read. I wished it could be made into a movie.

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I wasn't expecting for Regal to outshine Romulus and Ramsey but somehow Regal did just that! I just loved Regal and Felicity together ! Regal knew what he wanted and went after it. Regal was more like Ramsey in a way because he dealt with tragedy and felt the need to help Felicity with hers. They connected on that level. But I tell you what, Regal had me clutching my pearls! Lol! This book over exceeded my expectations in a huge way! Regal has just become my new favorite! I would love to see how the St. Claire family is doing later! Mrs. Martin does it every time! Well done! You won't be disappointed in this book! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wedded Bliss

Regal and Felicity have been dodging each other in all the previous books. Regal teased and bothered her and Felicity tried to avoid him as much as possible. Regal finally decided he wanted to seriously pursue her, but instead of just asking her out on a date he had to be extra. Unbeknownst to Felicity he was slowly getting to know her and getting her comfortable with him. This story is wild because Felicity's life was a mess and behind the scenes Regal was helping put the pieces back together. She was unable to truly understand his feelings for her. This was not your typical love story, and I enjoyed all of the nuances of them finding love in each other.

[vickie0822 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love story extraordinaire!

The sight of Regal St. Claire, made Felicity James run for the nearest exit with a quickness. Who would think Regal's playful banter with Ms. James, which she simply hated, would lead either of them to a ride on "the love train". Great love story for Regal and Felicity....
I have one complaint....there's no more sing!e St .Claire bachelors.....hope they have 1st cousins just as successful. Love this authors writings!!! Looking forward to future reads.

[Chinyere · Rating 3 out of 5]

So .....so

I waited to read Regal and Felicity’s story having been introduced to them in earlier books. I felt their story will be a compelling read .

I must say that I came off disappointed. The story fell flat for two people who came across as quite interesting and fun.
The story felt almost rushed , like the author did not flesh out their characters and depth. It lacked the passion of the other books in the series. The premise of their story had a lot of promise.
So Ramsey and Gianna’s story remains the best. Please give us another Ramsey “ the great “ follow up.

[BeLinda P. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Humor Can Be A Key to the Heart

Regal and Felicity were like oil and water. Regal loved to clown around and knew how to push Felicity’s buttons. Regal was a perfect opposite for Felicity which made their story much more endearing. I loved his sense of humor as well as his determination. He realized early on that his had feelings for Felicity. The depth of his love for her by his unselfish acts are what great stories are made of. Regal demonstrated that when you love someone nothing is out of bounds for you to do to make sure they are happy.

[Gail Singleton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love wins..

Another great book in this series. Regal and Felicity. Regal was determined to win her over and he definitely played his cards right. It took a minute for him to convince her that he was the man for her and he eventually persevered and had her falling in love with him. Felicity was convinced that he was just a playboy and she wasn't trying to fall into his trap. She tried to deny her feelings for him but he won her over even though it took a minute. Very enjoyable book.

[Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

👑 Regal, Regal, Regal.....

I had a strong suspicion that you would tell his story last Ms. Martin 🧐 but you have saved the best for last. I couldn’t wait for Regal and Felicity story. The build up was getting too much for my frayed nerves...lmbo. Regal is a straight nut that had me cracking up. I hate to see the story end for these brothers and maybe just maybe🤞🏾you can follow up with them pretty please Tina 🙏🏾lol. Great read. ♥️

[Vernell Renee Howard Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Best!

I love how the St Claire men embodied so many traits that are awesome but Regal is my man in my head that I want to come to fruition in my reality. I love all the personas he embodies. I'm glad Felicity opened her mind and received the love and the support she needed to live a happy and fruitful life, especially with her mom present in her life again. Great Read! ReneeG 👍. Looking forward for more from the St. Claire family.

At Last

I loved this book. Each book in this series just got better and better. This love connection between Felicity and Regal took me on a roller coaster ride From their very first meeting in the baked with love series and through the first three books of the St. Clair series. I wasn’t sure if the were going to kill each other or love each other. And wow there were truly some surprising twist This was enjoyable read

[Nette · Rating 5 out of 5]

🤗😍😑😥

OMG!!!!!!! This here experiences from the Boardwalk series all the way to Regal!!!!!! I have literally laughed long and hard at these people.... Tina you gave life too each character. I have shed tears of joy, understanding, longing and great anticipation.

I sure wouldn't mind if after a breather for you too run it back!!!

Love love love this craft of yours!!

God bless you!

Tina Martin took four phenomenal men and gave each of them a story to tug at your heart, engage your senses, and make you smile. Regal’s story ended up being my favorite one of the other brothers. His storyline at first didn't seem to have much to it, but in this book, we get to fully see Regal and understand why he lives hard, direct, and seemingly without a care. Here, Regal falls in love or at least realize he's in love with the woman he wants.

Regal is smart, successful, and the ultimate Playboy until he meets a powerful, independent, unavailable, uninterested and successful business owner who matches him with strength and determination. Regal sets his beautiful eyes on her and refuses to take his heart back. Yes, Regal “no BS” but what he choose to create has a heart, and we get to see the heat, passion, and reason behind his irritated attraction to his sworn nemesis.

This book had me laughing, smiling, and waking up early to finish it the next day. If you love, clean romance, unusual characters, family stories, and wondering what will happen next – you will enjoy the story of Regal and WB. If you need a break from your normal reading or just want something fun, this book is for you!

[NubianJoí · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh wow, that was such a great read🥹😊‼️ …lengthy but still an endearing story of faith, love & endurance especially in the midst of adversity ‼️ Regal undoubtedly is my favorite St. Claire sibling & to date my favorite book of this series. “Regal (A St. Claire Novel - Book 4)” a man motivated by character, principle & strength in spite of Felicity’s reservations. Just follow the leader (your designated leader 🤭) you’ll find peace, joy, restoration & united bliss🥰‼️

Awesome story

Great read again from these handsome brothers. I think regal is my favorite because he's a go getter about his. He didn't hold back what he wanted out of felicity he straight up put her In a position she couldn't get out of. Hope she is pregnant with another st.Claire too if you confirm more books from this series.

[Barbara Bain · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love it, finally the last brothers love life I hope youe do come up with more of the St Claire's

Love all about the sister's and sister in laws. I really want up dates and the sister with cancer I want it all gone and the for them to have, surrogate or just adopt a baby. Zandra find a man and man hating new boyfriend

Love Regal

Of all of the St. Claire brothers, Regal come in a very tight 2nd to Royal, but I LOVED all of the brothers’ stories! I thoroughly enjoyed Regal and Felicity’s story, having kept up with their shenanigans through the other books. I liked the twists in this story, as well.

[Pamelon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Regal 100% 💗💗💗

I routed for Regal and Felicity from start to finish. I understood Felicity's emotions. She had a secret. She made a decision that haunted her. This snappy decision made her feel unworthy. Regal was in her corner., willing to do anything to bring her peace and love. Regal did what a real grown man will do for his woman..I love him!! Check it out. 😊

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

She fought it but he won!

Regal has wanted Felicity since the bakery series! There story was the best one in my opinion! I loved how he went about getting Felicity and how he instantly loved Rayne. This was a great love story and I really enjoyed it! I hope to read about all of the couple's again in the future! Great series!

[Denise Rhodes Batten · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing!🎤

TINA, you never cease to amaze me. I have no words. I always say this is a great read when reading your books, but you step up your game each time. Whenever I look at my email and see your name I get excited and I purchase the book and read it at every free moment I get. Kudos, you’ve done it again!

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it, loved it, loved it

The buildup between Regal and Felicity from the very beginning of the series, actually from the Boardwalk Bakery series, to this book was insane. Regal was humorous and thoroughly entertaining throughout the series while Felicity continually snubbed him until he decided to do what he felt he had to do in order to dub her a St. Claire...pun intended

[Glenda Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loving this series!!!
These St. Claire men were something else. They were every woman's dream. Regal was very aggressive in his pursuit of Felicity. He was adamant about making her his woman. I believe the longer he was around her, his feelings grew deeper.
This story had a different twist. The storyline with Felicity's daughter added mystery. Yet, the romance between Felicity and Regal was strong.

[Leigh-Anne Ford Lyons · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally Happy

Regal has finally won over Felicity and they are truly happy. Sometimes we think of our ideal person and until you know them completely what you thought you wouldn't accept, your willing to accept because the love you have for them. Don't hold grudges and give up on the ones you love! Forgiveness!!!

[Aimee L Warren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Regal & Felicity

Ok I can admit it Regal is my favorite. Their was moments to giggle about in each book. But with Regal there were actual laugh out loud moments. Felicity never stood a chance.
These St Clair men are something else.
I'm just gonna put this out there .. I would love to see one with Bernadette and Mason and how it all started.

[Chefgirlardee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Regal’s story with Felicity was so worth the wait! I laughed out loud so many times! Regal and Felicity’s banter is so entertaining and their love so beautiful! Tina you did that!!!
