Faking it with the Royal

by Chelsea Greene

A mysterious billionaire. A one-night stand. A proposal.

When I met Ben at a nightclub in Manhattan, I never dream that he would ask me to marry him the next day.

Sure, the s*x was mind-blowing. But I barely know anything about him.

Needing a fake fiancee to cheer up his ailing grandmother, the playboy prince of Muravia made me an offer I can’t refuse.

Caught between lies and a secret, I start to fall for the real man under the façade.

Now, I am fighting to get my Prince and my happily ever after.

This author rocks it again!
A lovely, almost fairy tale romance but isn't that what all girls dream of? He was a bad boy prince, she was just a regular girl, trying to pay off her student loans & get by. He was like a knight in shining armour when he burst into her life & it was a fatal attraction she could not deny but it became complicated when he persuaded her to be his fake fiancee. She agreed but didn't really appreciate what she was getting herself into but she coped remarkably well in the world of royalty in a foreign country. They had the most amazing chemistry both in & out of the bedroom. Could he persuade her that their relationship could be for real?
I received an ARC & this is my honest & voluntary review.

Faking it with the Royal by Chelsea Greene.
I gave this book 4 stars. This was another great book by Chelsea Greene. I love me some Royal love stories.
I really enjoyed Prince Ben and Isabelle's love story. It was funny, entertaining, sexy hot chemistry, some Royal family drama, we had a beautiful fake American fiance that was supposed to be only a little lie for a day, or two turned into a huge fiasco, then you add a conniving little bi*** into the mix, well let's just say it was a good story to read. It had it's emotional moments, too! I really enjoyed it.
There was a HEA, but to me the story definitely needed an epilogue, the book ended to abruptly. I felt that there's part of the storyline unresolved. That's why I gave this book a 4 🌟 .

Ben is a playboy prince that enjoys partying and never is with the same woman. Isabella is a hard worker and is trying to find a job after she finished her degree. They meet one night when they are drinking at the same club and Isabella ends up taking him home with her. When a call from his grandmother leaves him scrambling to find a fake fiancé he decide Isabella would do especially since he wasn't ready to say goodbye to her. He bribes her into agreeing by offering to pay off her student loans however he doesn't tell her anything about himself or his family. So when she goes with him to meet them she is ill prepared to handle the royal family and everything that goes with it. Will Isabella make Ben change his playboy ways? Can Ben convince her to give him a chance?

This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is the third in the fake marriages series and it was good. Ben is the prince of Muravia and is the playboy of the family. He’s never been serious since he is not next in line for the throne. He is going on vacation in New York and His first night out he sees Isabelle, and he wants her right away. Isabelle just finished college and is working as a barista until she can find a job in psychology. She is so attracted to Ben that she asks him to her place. After their night together he receives a call from his grandma. His grandma is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and thinks he has a fiancé. He promises to bring her with him so they can meet. He asks Isabelle if she could be his fake fiancé so he can make his grandma happy. What starts out as a little whit lie, snowballs into a big lie once the rest of his family finds out. They both have such a strong attraction and connection towards each other. They just need to admit their feelings. With this story there are secrets and lies, but can their love help get them past it all? This was a cute storyline and I enjoyed the characters.

I love fake fiancé turning to true love tales. I love bad boys rogues turned crazy-in-love stories. I love stories of princes who find that ordinary gals are their destined ones. All of those are here in Faking it with the Royal (Sexy Fake Marriages Book 3). If you think I’ve given anything away with the above, my apologies, but this is definitely a HEA story. Isabelle and Ben’d story is fun to follow along. The supporting cast is well done and the plot s good one (though I would have loved a postscript after their HEA and am hoping for a sequel with the actual wedding and perhaps kids). All in all this book was great fun. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.

I like this story about Isabelle and Ben, it was sweet how they met and although their relationship developed rather fast in a little strange situation I really enjoyed getting to known them and follow their love story. I only wish the story was longer as I would have liked to spend more time with them and some of the support caracters, especially Bens grandmother! I enjoyed the royal aspect of the story too, being from a country with royalty it is always intriquing to read stories with royalty featured and see what the author makes of it! I enjoyed it and recommend it, as I said, only wish it was longer or that there would be a follow up story to see how things are going!

A intruguing well written wonderful fake engagement romance with ups and downs, complcations, second guessing,  and lots of humor.  This engaging storyline starting with a one night stand and wanting to continue and with trying to make a dieing granny's last wish. The characters are well developed,  interesting and have amazing chemistry with wonderful cast of secondaries as you root for this couple to have a HEA. 

[Shannon Patterson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Faking it with the Royal is book 3 in this series. Chelsea Greene again delivers a very fast paced story. This book is standalone with its own cast of characters, no overlap between books so you don’t need to read them in order to follow along.

In this story you meet Ben who is not the ‘heir’ but the ‘spare’, he’s a bit lost in life. He does what he wants and doesn’t seem bothered by what others think or how he reflects on the rest of his family. Ben goes to America on a holiday and meets Isabelle. He doesn’t tell her he’s actual a Prince in his country because he finds it fun she doesn’t already know. Isabelle just graduated, doesn’t have a real job and has a lot of student debt. She’s looking to turn her life around so when Ben proposes they fake an engagement to appease his ailing Grandmother she jumps in pretty quickly. They soon find themselves in way deeper than they thought possible. Can they continue to fake it or do they come clean? How long until they admit to themselves and each other that maybe it’s not so fake after all?

Another good quick read by Chelsea Green. Ben doesnt have anything ro offer a woman. He is the black sheep of the royals and happy with being a playboy. All he wants is a good time and a quick romp in the sheets. Ben comes to New York on a holiday and meets Isabella at a club. He figures it will be just like all his other one night stands, but when he wakes up beside her the next morning he knows something is different. He cant exactly put his finger on it, but he k ows he has to keep Isabella around dor longer then a night.
It started as a chance meeting with lots of chemistry, a fake engagement to make Ben's sickly grandmother happy, but quickly got out of hand. Isabella was not happy with all the pretending because she was falling in love with him and believed it was all fake to him. Will Isabella face her fears or let him go? Will Ben go after the only woman he has ever loved or let her walk our of his life??

I really enjoyed reading this book!! It was well written and flowed nicely. I have never came across a storyline, with faking it with a prince before so I was definitely intrigued!!! The story was really good! 😍Lots of humor, second-guessing theirselves , and lots of hot steamy scenes!!! I just wish that the ending was more elaborate... 🤔I felt like the ending was like a cliffhanger?!? It left me wanting more!!! What happened to Gran? What happened with the prince and his family?!? What happened with Ben and Isabelle after everything?!? I was left hanging....☹️

[Carol Fitzgerald · Rating 5 out of 5]

What can I say...this was such an emotional roller coaster...I laughed and I cried as Ben and Isabelle started out in a lie only for things to become so real. Chelsea Greene has woven such a wonderful story in this book!

*Spoiler*

Ben and Isabelle learned a lot about each other and life in general is what I gleaned from this story. Ben does a lot of growing up in a few short days at one point in the story I so wanted to knock Ben's head into a wall to try and get him to realize what was happening. I would have loved to see more to the story and hope at some point maybe there might be more.

Ben is an irresponsible prince who is reproved by his father, King Nicholas. Although not directly in line for the throne, he presents a PR nightmare. His one saving grace is that he dearly loves his Gran, the Dowager Queen. After meeting Isabelle, a newly-graduated, appealing young woman at a club, he hatches an ill-conceived plan to make Gran happy. Unfortunately, it doesn’t emerge as planned. Faking It With the Royal is an enjoyable story which I can recommend.

Isabelle begins with Faking it with the Royal and completes it with falling in love with Ben.
This is another excellent steamy romance by an excellent romance author! Isabelle takes her first one night stand with Ben in NYC and agrees to a fake marriage the next day. As they spend more time with each other, they become friends and then best friends with benefits but they really should tell each other the truth long before it blows up in their faces! I received a gifted copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I honestly love this story and this series!

What starts out as a fling quickly becomes much more. I enjoyed this story. Ben and Isabelle meet in a club, and the attraction is instant. Isabelle is a sweet character who really is trying to help Ben convince his grandmother he's getting married before things get worse with her mind. Ben is the prince who has no responsibilities since he's the second son. He really wants to get his father off his back about his wild ways. It's a fun story.

[Martie Jordaan Mulder · Rating 5 out of 5]

What started as a chance meeting with lots of chemistry, a fake engagement to make Prince Benjamin's ailing grandmother happy, soon got out of hand, isabelle was not happy with all the pretending because she was falling in live with him. She breaks it off, but gets a call about his grandmother. When she gets there they kiss and make up for a happy ever after. Five stars from me.

This book is predictable with standard rules of a fake engagement romance but the author write it good, I don't feel bore at all. However I hope to read an epilogue though, I think the ending is so abruptly that is why I give this book 4.5 stars.

A short fun and flirty story. Ben meets Isabelle in a night club and they embark on what is supposed to be a fun temporary adventure. The story is filled with steamy bedroom adventures and funny conversations. As things spiral out of control feelings come into play and temporary becomes permanent.

This was a fun book to read from start to finish. Ben is real royalty in hiding and he meets Isabel who he connects with from the start. They have a one night stand?... He looks for her makes a deal with her to act as his fake finance and what happens next is a fun page turner.

An enjoyable, sexy evening read. I was looking for an epilogue at the end to tie up a couple loose ends but still a good story without one. The sexy scenes are very hot and believable.

This book has and intriguing storyline, it begins with a one night stand add in a fake engagement plus trying to make granny’s last wish come true. The characters are exceptionally well developed and have off the charts chemistry. You will discover lots of humour, entertainment, intrigue, lots of second guessing. Add to the mix a conniving female and you have a great story. Couldn’t put it down.

[Brionte Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

*Spoiler alert* I was not a fan of Ben. In the end I could appreciate his growth as a man. She risked it all on him. Overall a great story with a lot of downs, but in the end it was worth it.

This book was a delightful romance with a prince who was very good at lying to himself who came to a rude awakening. The characters were wonderful and very colorful. It was entertaining with a few twists and turns to keep the interest alive. It was an enjoyable read.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book. It isn't your traditional fake engagement/marriage story and that's exactly why I liked it so much.
This story was different from some of the other fake relationships I've read and I truly enjoyed every word.
