Rowdy Prince

Royal Curves #1

by Megan Wade

My brother swears his roommate in college was an bonafide prince. And if it wasn’t for the ridiculousness of that notion, I might believe him. But, seriously, what kind of prince attends a second-rate college in South Carolina? A prince of thieves, perhaps? Still, he insists it’s the truth. So, when that big galoof turns the big three-oh, I decide it’s time to call his bluff and invite this ‘prince’ to join us in celebration. Imagine my surprise when an RSVP turns up on royal letterhead, declaring Prince Luis himself will be in attendance with his royal guard. They even want me to provide a map of the venue to his security consultant post-haste.

This is either real, or my brother has really outdone himself with this story...

But then I google Prince Luis and discover he’s the bad-boy of Spanish royalty. Something about that smile of his has my body reacting in ways I’ve never felt before. Do Spanish princes enjoy big beautiful American women?

Warning: this quick read contains over-the-top declarations, insta-love and molten hot moments between a curvy girl and a rowdy prince who wants nothing more than to claim some royal curves as his own.

As these books always are it’s a sweet, short read that is enjoyable.

Tara is shocked to discover that her brothers best friend from college has always been a prince, once upon a time she thought his stories were just that, far fetched stories. But he really was a Prince and her first love, there no way that he could ever see her as anything but a little sister is there?

Prince Luis left America eight years ago, the day he left he realised he was leaving his heart behind with his best friends younger sister, but when she sends him an invitation to Mitch’s surprise party he can’t resist the chance to see Tara just one more time before he becomes King. Will he be able to walk away from her or can he find a way for them to be together forever?

Very cute, easy read with no cheating perfectly safe and a look into the future of their lives. 3.5🌟

I mean, this was pretty cringe. It was a short book but a lot happened in those 70 pages. I just rolled my eyes a lot at the end. Overall, it was an okay short smutty romance that I needed as a pallet cleanser.

3.5 stars. Super cute at the beginning but I didn't love some of the things at the end.

I really loved the start of this story. I thought Tara was super fun and cute and the body positivity element seemed pretty well done. I liked the relationship between her and Luis and the impact they had on each other. The super gushy together forever romances aren't always my thing but I didn't mind it here. What I didn't love was the parts where they actually got together. They were both virgins, which I kind of liked, but then their first time together (and their first time having sex ever) they immediately had unprotected sex with very little foreplay and she got pregnant from their very first time together. The also had a conversation about how they wish they could have waited until they were married if that was a possibility. I know some people like that in romances and I don't mind it, but it's not something I really care about either. It was a little too saccharine and convenient for me. I also found some of the sex scenes to fall more on the side of cheesy instead of cute. I understand the author was trying to go for a soulmates type story but for me it was a little over the top.

I would definitely read more from this author in the future and if you're looking for a quick, cutesy, and short romance, I would recommend this one as long as you're okay the pregnancy and forever in love themes of this story.

This one was cute and little steam..

Tara never believed her brothers best friend was really a king.. he always said he was.. she just thought her brother and Luis loved to make stuff up when she was younger.. so she's surpised when she invites him for her brothers 30th that its a royal letter. She's a little freaked out and embarrassed but that doesn't stop Luis  from wanting her.. and have one last freedom night with her...

But it doesn't go like he planned once they spend the night together.. now he has to make sure his queen is Tara..

No ow/om drama, no cheating, Dramaish, sexy time, both virgins

This was a quick and sweet story with a little steam mixed in. Luis and Tara have both yearned for each other for years. It’s been eight years since they’d seen each other but the feelings were all still there. The media dubbed Luis the Rowdy Prince but he had been saving himself for his Tara and she was going to be his one and only. First he needed to change some old, antiquated laws.
While I enjoyed the story there were quite a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that interrupted the flow of the story. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow/om drama. Both virgins and no abuse. This story is a sweet one and has almost no drama!

[Rochelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this story. Brother's best friend/sorta second chance romance. Luis and Tara were so good together. Tara has know Luis since she was 12 years old when he started staying with her family while he was in school with her brother. She has always had a thing for him and him for her but circumstances prevent them from acting on it when they get older. They will do whatever they can to finally be together. Loved the connection and chemistry that was between them. Very intense. Can't wait for book 2.

This was an enjoyable book. It was a short and quick read that I couldn’t put down, it was a page turner. It had some very hot and steamy scenes. It was about a Prince of a small country off Spain, who had lived in the US for 4 years to go to college. Tara and her brother treated him like a normal member of the family. He is about to be crowned king, but visits the US for Taras brothers 30th birthday. Their love is rekindled.

Rowdy Prince by Megan Wade. I thought this story flowed nicely and was entertaining. It is filled with OTT drama, personal conflicts, charismatic characters, and of course my favorite the HEA.

Funny, cute, and so crazy over-the-top. Hehehe... For more than a decade, Tara thought her brother, Mitch, and his best friend, Luis, were pulling her leg when they told her time and again that Luis was a prince. She never bought it... until she did! Things get steamy with a double V party. I enjoyed this as part of the Royal Curves box set.

[Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story. There were all kinds of feels. The interactions between the characters had me smiling and laughing a lot.

Tara's brother Mitch swears his roommate in college was a real prince. She doesn't believe him because there's no way a prince would attend a second-rate college in South Carolina. For her brother's 30th birthday, Tara decides it’s time to call his bluff and invite this ‘prince’ to join them in celebration. She was very surprised when an RSVP turned up on royal letterhead, declaring Prince Luis would be in attendance. They even wanted her to provide a map of the venue to his security asap. Then her new sister-in-law googles Prince Luis and discovers that he really is a prince. Now Tara isn't sure how to act around him especially since she has had a crush on him forever.

Luis looks forward to seeing his old friend Mitch, but also Mitch's sister Tara. It may be the last time he can do so, as he will be crowned King soon and then his movements will be even more restricted than they are now. He knows that his future is pretty much set, but he can't help holding out hope that he will be able to figure out a way to be happy. Once Luis sees Tara again, he knows that he has to figure it out because she is the only one that he wants for his Queen.

I totally loved the way Luis and Tara interacted, especially before Tara knew that Luis really was a Prince. The trust that Tara had that Luis would figure things out was amazing and super sweet. I loved their happy ever after, it made me super happy. I definitely recommend reading this book.

[Vinessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow for a short read and even shorter chapters this book packs a punch.
She never believed he was a real prince, but in fact in less than three months Luis will become king.
Tara always felt a bit nervous around her brothers bestfriend from college Luis, then it was out of longing, but when she learns all these years he was telling the truth the nerves became awkward and embarrassing.
What Tara did not know was he has always longed for her as well and was never planning to give his country a queen or another heir if he could not have Tara.
Against his mothers wishes he travels back to the states one last time to attend his bestfriends thirtieth birthday, wanting to feel normal he locks his royal guard in the rental car while he enjoys his freedom if only for one night.
That night turns into the best thing he ever did.
Tara and Luis pledge their love for each other and share their first time together. Come morning though her brother not knowing broke the hearts of his sister and his bestfriend in one move.
The royal guard had to forcefully remove Luis and fly him back home leaving Tara in tears and his heart behind. Five long months pass and he is no closer to getting back to her and the secret she keeps from him.
With a little help from his bodyguard he may have a plan to bring his queen home. This was an excellent read. It may have been short but was chalk full of drama, suspense, passion and intrigue

This is a short story by Megan Wade and it features TARA and LUIS.
Helping her new sister in law moving into her brothers apartment, Tara and Laura unpack and found a picture of her brother, Mitch and his bestfriend and roommate from college, Luis and remembering the holidays and summer vacation together and them tell her that Luis was from a royal family in Spain, but Tara never believed them and she had a huge crush on him. Since Luis couldn't make it to Tara's brother's wedding, because of a family obligation, Tara suggested inviting Luis to Mitch surprise 30th birthday party and suggested buying him a plane ticket, since she was sure he could not afford it.
After receiving the invitation to Mitchs surprise 30th, birthday party, Luis couldn't help but laugh and think of the many time he told Tara stories about king's and queens and about him being of a royal family and Tara not believing him, but most of all he can't forget how beautiful Tara was and wish he could find someone as beautiful as her for his wife and wish it was her. Luis sends a letter back tell her he will attend the party, but he needs information for his security team, and of course Tara doesn't believe him. What will happen when Luis comes to America and what will happen when Tara and Luis see each other again after eight years, will they finally confess their love for each other.

The Prince of BS and the woman that he wants to be his Queen

Rowdy Prince is the first book in the Royal Curves series by Megan Wade. It is a fast-paced, cute, sweet, medium dirty sexy short story. The story is nicely written with an enjoyable story-line that has a lot of laughs and kept my interest. The characters were a lot of fun and the banter between the H and h was good.
The story is about Tara and Luis. Her older brother, by a few years, went to a second-rate college in South Carolina starting when she was twelve years old. While he was there he had a roommate named Luis who would spend the holidays with the family. Luis would tell stories to Tara about him being a Prince and what his life and experiences had been. Tara never believed him but was fascinated by the tales. Actually she had a huge crush on him for the whole four years and give him a hard time and tease him.
Now it is six years since Tara or Mitch have seen Luis but as he could not make it to Mitch's wedding Tara decides to send him an invite to Mitch's thirtieth birthday party. But she is cheeky in her invite and Luis decides to go. Tara is soon to learn that the "Prince of Bullsh1t: is actually a real life Prince, soon to be King, and that he has only been thinking of her. I don't want to give too much of the story away but you know it ends with an HEA.

Fantastic story about Tara who’s brother is best friends with Luis Tara was 12 at the time when her brother Mitch brought Luis home he stayed with them and Tara had a massive crush on him and one day they both tried to tell her that Luis is a Spanish Prince she never believed them and Tara still doesn’t. Mitch’s new wife said that maybe Luis can come to his 30th birthday they are willing to pay for his airfare to come over and Tara would like to see Luis again. Luis is going to have his coronation in 3 months he doesn’t have a life he misses his college days with Mitch and his sister Tara, Luis left his heart in America with Tara she was a curvy beauty then he would love to see her now he would also marry her if he was allowed but Tara is a commoner and in the kingdom of Reinqueno he has to keep his bloodline pure but things have to change. Luis gets a letter from Tara inviting him to Mitch’s 30th birthday she said that she will pay his airfare and that makes Luis laugh she never believed that he was a prince but he’s going he doesn’t care what anyone says he wants to see his best friend and the girl who he left his heart with. Fantastic story I loved it and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

[B-Books Review · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve been meaning to read a book from this author for some time because she writes curvy woman characters and I think we should all encourage this. I always feel represented. So I got the BBW and some Royal topic? Count me in!

This is a short story, so as usual is always insta-love, sweet and romance packed. Tara always liked her brother’s best friend from college, Louis. But never thought the feeling was reciprocal. Although her brother had always told her Louis was a Prince, she never believed. That is until some years later she invited him to her brother’s surprise birthday party and finally decide to use the internet to discover the true (dumb move Tara! Hehehe never heard of internet before?). He really was a Prince soon to be crowned a King.

He came back to America to the party and ow sweet love! They love each other, running away from the party to live their romance.

It was cute how they love each other. Despite being a over the top romance when everything happened to fast, I enjoy the reading it was some kind of heartwarming when Prince Louis found a way for them to be together some months later only for him to discover a very good surprise that would only made them even closer.

It was a good read and I’m planning to read more from the author in the future.

A prince claims his princess in this sweet story

Tara is planning her brother’s 30th surprise birthday party and takes a chance at inviting his long time best friend Luis. Luis is the man that Tara has always secretly loved, even though he always told tales of him being the next in line to become king.
When Luis receives the invitation to his best friend’s 30th birthday surprise party, he knows this is his last chance to see the people that made him feel like family and his last chance to claim the woman that he has loved for years.
Will he be able to make their love story have a happy ending though?

I love Megan’s way of writing, the characters are lovable and her encouragement of body positivity is fantastic. The story never really feels rushed, there’s no angsty drama, and the endings are so heart fulfilling. If you love a quick read with just the right amount of steam and happily ever afters that will have you smiling ear to ear - this is a perfect one to pick up.

Rowdy prince is book one in the royal curves series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Tara was always told that her brother’s roommate was a prince. She never believed it. That soon changes when she invites Luis to her brothers surprise birthday party. Prince Luis has responsibilities. He has wanted Tara for a long time but due to him being royalty, their relationship would be frowned upon. Will Luis be able to resist Tara when he sees her again?
The chemistry between Prince Luis and Tara is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Tara never believed her brothers friend was a Prince after all he is just Luis a man who spent years teasing her and being a part of her family....

But no he is a Prince and is about to become a King... she is mortified and embarrassed but what she doesnt realise is how much Luis feels for her and there teasing and messing around has helped him feel normal and now he has little time to show her this.

My Favourite quote from the book.

" When I take you inside and we exchange our precious gifts, I'll make you mine.
In return, my heart, mind and body will be yours.
I will never take another. "

I live for Megan Wades books there every girls fantasy she is a phenomenal author has such talent and a nack for getting her readers engrossed in her books. I left a piece of my heart with this book.

Tara is planning a surprise birthday party for her brother and decides to invite his old college friend Luis! Luis always played a joke on her telling them he was a prince, but she never believed him! Imagine her surprise when she finds out he is really is a prince about to become king. Luis wants to go back to America one last time before becoming king to say goodbye to his friends. Especially Tara who he fell for all those years ago! Only once he has her in his arms he knows he can never be without her, but how can they be together when there are laws he has to follow! Can he keep his promise to her that they will be together? How will he react to a surprise she has for him? Great book that I would highly recommend!

Beautiful love story.
Awh this is such a wonderful love story of girl meets Prince but didn't realise it. When Luis was living in America whilst he was studying he stayed with Mitch who became his best friend & his family. He would tell stories to Mtch's little sister Tara about him being a Prince but she always thought they were fairytales until she invites him to her brothers party & she finds out that man she has been in love with since they were children is an actual Prince it makes her nervous. However the minute he sees her the love he also felt for her never stopped & she has always been the one he wants but he is about to be King of Reinqueno he can not marry someone not of royalty but he is determined they will be together desperate to find away to keep his true love & happiness.

Louis, the great storyteller has been friends with Mitch since college. He’s always shared stories of kings and castles and queens in etiquette to Tara, Mitch‘s younger sister. She always believed and they were story tales not the truth. Not about his life and all that it entails for him. So when it was Mitch‘s 30th birthday, she invite him to the party because he missed Mitch’s wedding. Now Louis has the opportunity to make arrangements and show up for the birthday party. He wants to be the normal man not Prince Louis or the soon to be King Louis. His greatest fear is try to explain to Tara his unrequited love. Even though he knows that he cannot have her because he is supposed to marry someone of royal blood. Character support each other a nicely developed. There is no cliffhanger.

Short, fun, and cute with some steam on the side

I really liked this one. The writing style is smooth and easy, extremely good flow to the story and I LOOOVED that both hero and heroine were virgins and belong to each other completely.

Prince Luis leaves his kingdom shortly before his coronation to visit his old college friend...and sees his friend’s little sister he’s loved forever. He can’t marry her due to the antiquated laws in his kingdom that prevent royalty from marrying a commoner, but if all he can have is one moment with the woman who holds his heart, he’ll grab it. But once he claims her, he can’t give her up. He’s determined to find a way for them to be together.

There was no cheating, a great HEA and enough sizzle for a short story to make all the swoon.
