Royally Bad

Royally Wrong #1

by Lee Savino

Billionaire. Playboy. Prince. My new boss.

Theo Kensington the most eligible—or ineligible—bachelor in the entire world. So what he’s starred in a sex tape…or three? He's heir to the Kensington fortune. Son of a long lost Swedish princess. That's right—this tall, dark, and tattooed stud is a prince.

Except the queen pretends he doesn't exist. And the Kensington board of directors wants him gone.

Enter me. Vesper Smith, media consultant AKA fixer. I have four days to convince this bad boy to behave. Clean up his image, clean up his act.

But Theo’s more interested in misbehaving. And if I’m not careful, there’ll be a new costar in his next scandal: me.

Another hot one 🤪
A bad boy in need of some good publicity, some spicy scenes, and a sweet connection 👌

Somewhere between 4.5-5 ⭐️’s

I am strangely obsessed with Lee's Beserker books and I was intrigued to see how her writing style would translate to a Contemporary Rom Com.
Well - she smashed it. This story is hot, funny and smart. I loved the lead characters Vesper and Theo and want to be BFF with Mina - she is the best. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, hot read.

I received an ARC of this book

Theo Kensington isn't an easy man to like, let alone love. With an ego to rival the biggest a**hole, a body made for sin, and a royal title to his name, he knows he has the life most men would kill for. But when he's hit with yet another PR disaster, in the form of a sex tape, his father has had enough. Enter Vesper Smith, PR extraordinaire with a knack for getting celebrities out of sticky situations. But what happens when Vesper starts to get a glimpse of the real Theo, will she be able to withstand his world famous charm or will she fall victim to the sexual chemistry building between them?

I'm giving this book 3.5 stars. I liked the H/h however, I think there were some small gaps in the story. I think the book could have benefited from a prologue as a sort of intro to Vesper and what drove her. Also, the bad guy was never really revealed and the blond showing up in Theo's room was a little too cliche. I'll give the sexy times 🔥🔥.5. Based on the title, I thought I'd have to change my undies but I didn't. Overall a cute, fast read.

providing an honest review after receiving a complementary copy from the author via BookFunnel.

did not provide a star rating because I did not finish it.

yeah this one the title got it right this one was royally bad the main guy was such a douche bag and was very disappointing that his PR women was crushing on him from the get go despite the blurb claiming she was not interested in him.

only got a few pages into this before I gave up

A FANTASTIC NOVELLA! This is one smoking hot little book! The sexual chemistry between Vesper Smith and Prince Theo is off the charts. I loved how Vesper was able to get Theo out of one embarrassing catastrophe after another, despite this being her job. This book is funny, as well as smoking hot. The book is a quick, fantastic read. I loved it!

[Veronica (Honey Roselea Reads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Let's talk sexy times with royalty. Because yes, it's all here. And we'll even sprinkle in billionaire prince with some f-boy tendencies. This was such a quick romance and honestly I quite enjoyed it. It's one of those books where our main heroine has to "fix" our hero and I honestly kind of enjoy that stuff. But seriously I enjoyed this.

Male Narrator uses Same voice for Male and female

There is nothing original or memorable about this story or the characters. It wasn't terrible, but I definitely wouldn't listen to it again.

[Katja · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the same book as Royally Fucked by Lee Savino. I guess the powers to be needed to sanitize the title. Theo is a playboy heir to a business who is also a prince. Vesper is sent to rehabilitate his image because he gets taped having sex a lot.

It has potential but the short format means that some plot threads are left hanging.

The Swedish royal palace is described as quite ridiculously large with fourteen thousand and thirty rooms in three floors. The real thing is large but it has only fourteen hundred and thirty rooms. Buckingham palace has 775.

It contains an excerpt from Royally Fake Fiance and I really want to read that one because of the porn addict parrot.

PRINCE IN THE STREETS, GOD IN THE SHEETS

Vesper Smith has a reputation for making bad boys good again. She has been hired to turn around the reputation of a billionaire, Theo Kensington, also known as a man-whore. The board of directors is ready to remove him, and his lackadaisical playboy attitude doesn’t help.

Theo’s Princess mother dies in childbirth; his father spends his life making his fortune building up his businesses and making a home that is a shrine to her. Sadly, life was rich with wealth, but poor in love and affection for Theo. Now the shunned Prince has been requested to visit his maternal grandmother, the Queen of Sweden.

Life is more than parties, and it will be a challenge for Vesper to clean up his image, especially when she needs to do it in a one weeks time. Never get involved with a client may be Vesper’s motto, but Theo is persistent. What happens when her past comes out to haunt them?

Will Vesper walk away from this assignment to clean up the image of Theo and try and mend her own reputation? Will Theo let her leave or will he fight for the one woman who truly sees the man he is? “Maybe a playboy can turn into Prince Charming?”

I've just finished reading Royally Fucked and that was in just a handful of hours. I could not put the book down! I've read a lot of books written by this author and, while all of them have been great, this one grabbed my emotions early on and did not let go. If you like your book hot, hot, hot, this one will surely meet that expectation. In addition to the "heat" I fell in love with Theo and Vesper (wonder where the name Vesper for a heroine came from?) and I'm left wanting the author to fill in some of the years glossed over in the book just so I could still be living their story. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

[Tai Nelson-Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed this little novella. A woman that is hired to clean up a high maintenance prince that isn't/doesn't want to be a prince. The hands that were dealt to Theo aren't good, but he diffidently makes the most of it. He has money to burn and a penis everyone should see, or so he feels.

Vesper Smith is hired by Theo fathers business to clean up his social media and to get him to show a better side of himself. But Theo does not make it easy. Vesper has her work cut out for her but she is up for the job.

[DM Pennington · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perfect for a steamy lunchtime read!

WARNING: Before reading this at work, make sure your lunch is spicy because you will need a reason for the heavy panting, sweating and wet panties!! This one is a delicious read. It’s about a Bad Boy Billionaire Prince and a PR rep that is there to fix his reputation. Oh boy!! SOOOOO YUMMY!!

ARC read in exchange for an honest review.

This book is stupid hot and sexy as hell. Seriously, I have yet to read one of Lee’s books and not been satisfied. You will laugh out loud and fan yourself, it doesn’t get any better than that!
TBR and Enjoy!

[Angela · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok book. Seemed rushed. I would’ve liked for there to have been more to the story. More depth then just rushing into bed.

[Lil Bit Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

The opening line to the novel is not only catchy but sets the tone for the story. Or, at least it does initially. It definitely hooked me right from the beginning.
This is a story of a billionaire playboy partying his way through life and appearing to not take anything seriously. Theodore Kensington has had one too many scandals and now the board of his late father’s company is demanding he get his life in order. Oh, and did I forget to mention he’s also a Prince and his estranged grandmother, the Queen, is now wanting to have a relationship with him as well? No pressure.
Hired by the head of his security, Vesper Smith, has been known to fix the unfixable. She agrees to the job of helping Theo Kensington see the errors of his ways and change everyone’s impression of him after seeing his latest scandal unfold on social media. Then, she meets him. Not only does she have to convince a spoiled rich man to turn his life around but she has to stay professional and not fall in love. He’s one of the most beautiful men she has ever seen and Vesper is determined to see past the outward mask he puts on for the world and into his soul.
Besides the awesome chemistry between the characters and the absolute steamy love scenes, I love the witty banter between them as well. This story has comedy and romance along with some twists and turns thrown in to keep you on your toes.
I recommend this novel for mature audiences only due to sexual content.

[Diane G · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Royally Bad” is the first story in a new series - “Royally Wrong.” It was a great read Theo Kensington and Vesper Smith were fun, funny, with some great chemistry! Here is Theo a spoiled, big bad Alpha boy player and a true Prince. He is financially secure and doesn’t take much seriously, he likes the title of Playboy. It is time for him to take responsibility and his associates hire Vesper Smith, a media consultant. She is expected to clean up his image and get him to act responsible within four days. LOL Well, Vesper isn’t laughing but she believes she can do this and he may have met his match. She is clever and seductive.  What Theo and Vesper didn’t expect is how magnetic, they are together. He knows just what she needs to keep her safe. She finds his strength and dominance fulfill a void and she feels safe, and protected.
The tension builds as you try to guess what the final outcome will be?
The story is engaging, it concentrates on the unique development of the relationship between Theo and Vesper. The suspense builds, the mystery intrigues, the romance is HOT, and Electric and action packed! I’d recommend this book and will read the next in the series. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Thank you Lee Savino for an exciting read!

This is a fun story about a rich bad boy and his image fixer. It was so much fun to read. Truly it's a modern day Peter Pan tale, he's a lost boy and doesn't realize it. Meeting her and he wants to be a better man.

Theo Kensington is the heir to a hotel fortune his father built out from nothing. His dad was a Turkish immigrant who met a rebellious Swedish princess and they got married. Her mother the queen disowned her and her husband built an empire to prove he was worthy of her. Unfortunately she died giving birth to their son, Theo. Heartbroken daddy was driven to build his empire and ignored his son. Skip to today, and Theo is a royal bad boy, playing with the ladies and living a wastrel's life in the spotlight. Enter Vesper Smith, fixer, hired by his staff to clean up his image as grandma, the Queen of Sweden, want to meet him. She needs an heir now that her brother is dying.

Vesper is successful at what she does. She was mentored by one of the best, and has great success. Turns out Theo will be her hardest client yet. He doesn't want to change, he likes being a kid all the time. Vesper challenges him and manages to see under all the bravado to the lost boy who wants to be loved. I really enjoyed the chess match between these two with their chemistry off the charts!

This was a wonderful read that has now been republished with a new title
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am sure that anyone else that reads it will be equally enamoured with the characters and the plot which as always was so well written, I can honestly guarantee that you will not be able to put this book down
This is a very different style of book by Lee Savino and it is absolutely fantastic, the plot became more involved the further into the book you read. The actual tension builds as you try to guess what the final outcome will be?
I do not want to be a part pooper, or spoiler so will simply say that you will enjoy this book immensely.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

[Janet Taggart Baldwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This engaging novella was a fun and quick read! Theo was a playboy billionaire Prince who engaged in lots of promiscuous behavior and Vesper (I loved her name!) was brought in to clean up his image. He had no desire to change until he met her and their attraction superseded all else. The sexy banter they shared was cute and their attraction was obvious. Due to the shortness of this book, there wasn't enough time to clarify the drastic change Theo underwent in a very short amount of time. There were also some discrepancies in Vesper's past that were confusing. But I enjoyed the story, I connected with the main characters, and we got a HEA and an Epilogue, which is my very most favorite thing! Definitely will get the next book, sounds so good!

[Annatralepaginediunlibro · Rating 2 out of 5]

È un libro breve che ho letto in poche ore.
Non mi da dato e non mi tolto nulla, è semplicemente una trama erotica che si basa tutta sul sesso, mettendo la storia vera e propria in secondo piano.
È il racconto di un ragazzo, un principe, che vive alla grande, tra bisbocce, scandali hot, feste maestose in uno spreco di denaro senza eguali.
Circondato da donne frivole e uomini dubbi, che mal tollerano gli impegni e le regole.
In questo scenario arriva lei, per riportare lo scapestrato sulla retta via…
Ma ripulire la sua immagine non sarà una cosa semplice per chi nasconde scheletri nell’armadio…
Troppi refusi, non molto curato e chiaro nella forma e nella narrazione. Piacevole per chi ama il genere.

Thro and Vesper. Vesper is hired to clean up Theo's reputation since he is next in line for the throne. He doesn't want it because his parents married (commoner and royalty) so the mother was disowned only he never met her as she dies while giving birth. The dad never got over her and plunged himself into his work to keep proving himself that he was good enough for her. Theo is a billionaire playboy, who's grandmother finally wants to meet. Vesper was hired to clean up his act and somewhere along the line, they fall in love. He meets his grandmother and she regrets her actions from years ago and was basically following the rules of royalty and couldn't take back what was started, her biggest regret.

[Jan · Rating 5 out of 5]

YES!!! It’s sort of like a modern-day Cinderella but with a twist. Vesper is a fixer, a media expert. She is hired to fix the image of one Theo Kingston. All around “Bad Boy.” She definitely has her work cut out for her. Theo is a big playboy but he has a sweet side too. Theo may act like he is a playboy, but he isn’t all that. His grandmother wants to see him. He is the only heir left and is a Prince. Vesper has her own past. These two are so cute together. She is trying hard not to fall for him and he like a little boy searching out the love he is missing. I enjoyed this story. This was originally put out in "Royally Mine" anthology back in 2017

I finished this short/story/book a few hours ago and it was very interesting. It was about a man who was rich and was very activate in doing things all wrong and hurting his imagine and would be the Crown Prince of Sweden possibly soon but he did not want that. So, PR person was hired to help cleaned up certain things about him and he fell in love with her, but her past caught up with her, those that hired her fired and Theo was not happy about that as he did not care about that as he only cared because she saw him for who he really was and helped him a great deal. In the end it was a happy ending.

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story was cute. It was a nice light read with two characters that almost felt like they could be friends. However, the parts of the characters that weren't believable added to the real life fantasy that this book was (A handsome tattooed prince who loves kids and the smart and sexy blonde). I felt like the language between the story and the spicy scenes didn't connect; our narrator didn't really talk like that before the spicy scenes, so why start now? I would have rated it higher if it weren't for that one detail that really took me away from those moments. Other than that, if you have two hours to kill and want to read something fun, grab this one!

Vespa ❤️Theo

Lee Savino knows how to write a good book!

Firstly, I was worried I was going to hate Theo after the first couple of pages and then I was worried about how far Vespa would go for her job.
No need to worry 😮‍💨 their story worked out well without me wanting one of them to tragically pass away.

Insta-love is cute and this book was a quick and insta-love read. A sweet palate cleanser for me.
