The Royal Romances #1-5

Royally Loved: The Royal Romances Books 1-5

Rate this book
Escape into a fictional land of royals, where the men are filthy rich, hot as Hades, and accustomed to possessing any woman they choose.

The women are independent, strong-willed spitfires who don’t necessarily need a man, and might not be the most desirable candidates for princess status.

But times are changing, and these five royal romances are about choosing love over everything else, and turning convention on its head.

Because there’s nothing these rakish heroes love more than breaking the rules...

Royally Schooled
They come from two different worlds.
Their love goes against centuries of tradition.
But he doesn’t give a damn.

Royal Academy
Eliza Noble doesn’t belong in my world.
I’m a Prince, and she’s a scholarship student.
No one thinks she’s good enough, but I’ll have her anyway.

The Prince’s Baby
She’s carrying a secret more precious than gold.
A heartwarming secret baby royal romance.

Her Royal Physician
She’s a princess, and his patient.
He’s supposed to heal her, not fall for her.
Crossing the line could cost him everything, but sometimes love is worth the risk.

Royal Holiday
In Brooklandia, the holiday countdown doesn’t begin until the Royal Family throws their Midnight Masquerade Ball two weeks before Christmas Eve.

So when a dashing masked man captures Princess Marina under the mistletoe and gives her a toe-curling kiss then leaves her with a single red rose, she has no idea who he is…

Royally Loved is a boxset by McKenna James….and wow!!!! What a boxset!!! I LOVE a good ‘Royals’ story and this boxset has it in spades!! There are FIVE different royal stories here for hours of reading enjoyment!!!

First up is Royally Schooled. This is the story of Maggie and Edward. She needs additional income and goes to an interview for a tutor. There she meets, Edward…one of the interviewers. She discovers later that he’s the prince! She gets the job…and maybe the prince as well???

Next is Royal Academy which follows Eliza and Andrew. She’s a student at University and after an encounter with her car, she meets Andrew and they’re in the same class together! But, they have nothing in common and she despises him and his aristocratic life. But, first impressions deceiving…is there hope for him to win her over?

Third is The Prince’s Baby, the story of Allison and Sebastian. These two are almost immediately drawn to one another at first sight when they meet at a conference!! But, there’s a surprise in store for both of them! Will it cause the demise of their relationship??

Next is Her Royal Physician…the story of Giselle and Leo. Giselle is injured while fleeing a war-torn country. After boarding the ship, she is helped by the ship’s physician, Leo. They are smitten!!! But, forces want to keep them apart. Theirs is a forbidden love!!!

Finally, there is Royal Holiday which brings us Marina and Rodrigo. They meet in the most romantic of ways….a masquerade ball!!! She doesn’t know who he is…later she discovers she knew him long ago!!! Lots of stuff happening in this story….can they overcome all the obstacles keeping them apart??

This was an incredibly delightful box set that was nonstop enjoyment for me!!! It had me smiling wistfully, growing incredibly nostalgic, and deeply romantic throughout!!!! I wanted to laugh, cry, scream, and sigh, at times. A well-written set that you can immerse yourself in!!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.

Not Really Royally Loved

This was a set of 5 Royal Romances - Royally Schooled, Royal Academy, The Prince's Baby, Her Royal Physician and Royal Hokuday. It could have been one story as all of them were basically the same. The characters were interchangeable even though you had princes and princesses as main characters. There was almost no backstory for any of them. They seemingly didn't know the meaning of safe sex. Even the sex scenes were pretty much the same. It wasn't sensual but more like baby porn - a little graphic. There was almost no profanity with the exception of the use of the f-word in each book.

They were easy to read but none are worth a reread.

Royally Schooled
Maggie is desparate to get a job, so that she can pay her father's hospital bills.

Royally Loved was a great collection of royalty falling in love. Royally Schooled was really like a fairy tale. Handsome (but womanizing) Prince Edward falls in love with a common (and American to boot) Maggie. Royal Academy was about Prince Edward's nephew who has now grown up, and gone to college. There Prince Drew meets commonor Eliza and they fall in love amidst the protests of the Drew's friends. The Prince's Baby is a story about Prince Sebastian who falls in love with Diplomat Alison whose country Sunyata has been at odds with Wyvernbank for years. Their love story goes through many twists and turns to get them to their HEA. Her Royal Physician is about Crown Princess Giselle who meets Naval doctor Leo on board the Obsidian Vow while fleeing from a war. They fall in love but must navigate the distance between their status in order to be together. In Royal Holiday, Rodrigo and Crown Princess Marina were childhood friends who meet up again as adults. They fall in love but must figure out how to make their relationship work as their family now seem to hate each other. All in all, these stories were really fun to read, and were entertaining as each story was quite different from one another.

Times are changing, and these five royal romances are about choosing love over everything else, and turning convention on its head. This set includes five titles: Royally Schooled, Royal Academy, The Prince’s Baby, Her Royal Physician, and Royal Holiday. Below is a review of one of the books to give you an idea of what you can expect.

*** Reviewing “ROYAL HOLIDAY” ***
This is an enjoyable story about a second chance romance between Rodrigo and Princess Marina. The two of them had been childhood friends until his parents separated them by sending him away to school. Years later, when he returns to Brooklandia, he wants to connect with her again, taking advantage of the Crown’s annual Midnight Magic Ball, where he can approach her unrecognized and against his parents’ wishes. Is their close friendship strong enough to pull them together? Will the magic of the Christmas Season touch their hearts? Or are those who want to keep them apart still willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish that?

The story line will pull the reader into this wonderful story, and the characters will seem like part of a fairy-tale come true. Grab this book and enjoy the love story as it unfolds behind the mask! Then continue on with the other great books provided in this collection. Enjoy!

Sweetly romantic! This box set shows the Royals who, while aware of their responsibilities to family and monarchy, wish to be seen as human beings. They treat people with respect, consideration and dignity and expect others to do the same. Each couple faces challenges and conflicts on the spectrum from light to dangerous. The journey to finding solutions builds character and sets strong foundations. Absolutely enjoyable box set. I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Nice box set of Royal Romances

Royally Loved: The Royal Romances box set contains the 5 books of The Royal Romances series - Royally Schooled, Royal Academy, The Prince's Baby, Her Royal Physician and Royal Holiday. Each of the books can be read as a standalone and they have different story-lines but each is a sweet and drama filled romance. The books are nicely written and have likeable characters, some that you may want to kick a few times as they face decisions between duty and their heart.

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This is a fun series. The stories are related in that the heroes or heroines are royalty in one form or another. The men are alphas and the heroines are strong ladies who know what they want.
This is a fun collection that will have you reading much to late into the night.
Enjoy.

I love Royals!!

This was a great set of books! When I first started reading them, I thought the stories would be intertwined. A couple are but not all. I was a little confused. There were some mistakes with grammar and Eliza’s name was messed up towards the end of the story. There are also a couple sentences that were missing words. But I enjoyed the books.

The author pulls us into the lives of royals and commoners with ease. Each story proves that sometimes you need to follow your heart instead of just doing what is expected of you.

It’s a fairly typical story for the genre, I enjoyed reading both POVs which isn’t always what happens in this genre
The writing is compelling and the premise is interesting

Good book throughout.

I wasn't sure about a couple of the stories but I enjoyed them all. At times I thought it dragged but realized the detail was needed. It's always nice to get a box set to read. Yes, I would recommend this author & this book.
