People call me the playboy prince. Women adore me. Flock to me.

Except one.

Violet Blanc despises me. No matter what I say or do, she gives me grief.

Never one to back down from a challenge, I finally persuade her to accompany me to the queen’s party. Just when I thought things were going great, she disappears and I'm left frustrated. Determined to find out what changed, I track her down. But when I do, I’m not prepared for what awaits me.

Violet has secrets. Ones that put her and those she loves in mortal danger.

About the author

C.R. Riley

32 books97 followers
C. R. Riley doesn’t believe in rules when it comes to romance. Her books are bold, emotional, and unapologetically steamy, spanning tropes like enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, secret pasts, and forbidden attraction. What ties them all together? Deep emotional connection, crackling sexual tension, and characters who love like it’s the only thing keeping them alive.

Writing across sub-genres, C. R. thrives in the chaos of big emotions, tough choices, and the kind of love that doesn’t come easy—but always feels earned. Her goal is simple: give readers stories they feel in their chest and remember long after the final page.

Another swoon worthy brother

Sighs dramatically I CANNOT pick my favorite brother anymore as all of them have such amazing qualities! C.R. Makes her men make every boy mom out there hope that that is how their son will turn out. This book had me in tears and my heart hammering my stomach dropping and then had me chuckling and saying OMG! This book will grip you to the very end and I highly recommend this book to anyone!

A villain, a prince and a woman who's been through it. You'll be on the edge of your seat reading this one. There's some parts that'll really hit you in the feels. It is an excellent story that shows strength and healing, love, happiness and so much more.

First let me say this book has warnings that should be heeded and does have some graphic scenes. My Noble Fight will absolutely give you all the feels. You will cry so have the tissues close by right from the beginning. You will laugh and also may want to yell at these characters, but I can guarantee it is completely worth it. CR Riley has written this book so wonderfully that you feel like you are right there with them. This is by far my favorite book that CR has written for various reasons. She Definitely got it right with this one. You will not be disappointed. There is so much great things I want to say about this book and the characters but I am afraid I will spoil it if I do so go read it for yourself.
Lorenzo and Violet: Lorenzo is the perfect book boyfriend. He is so intuitive to Violet and what she needs before she even knows she needs it. Violet has been through the ringer and back. She is a take crap from others type person except in certain situations.

"𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆, 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆."

This is a story of freedom, love and companionship.

I've smiled and cried and then smiled in
succession a lot while reading this book. The characters are wonderful, the storyline is gripping and the heated romance is just what's needed.

**There are trigger warnings, but the scenes haven't been explained in detail.**

Violet hasn't had an easy life and as she grows, her life becomes harder. Fighting for her child is the only thing on her mind. The men she has came accross are nothing bearable. With Lorenzo trying to keep interacting with her, she knows she has to build an imaginary wall to be safe from the infatuation she's facing and continue her with her life.

Lorenzo wanted this woman as soon as he saw her. Initially only because of curiousity.
When a situation appears, he's the one taking charge.
~𝐻𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑢𝑝 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡.~

Violet is cautious with an ice princess persauna, brave, mature and willing to fight.
Lorenzo is the perfect guy; nothing bad, always supportive, loving, funny and thoughtful. There's more to him than he shows.

These two slay the dragons side by side and make a loving life for themselves and for their own family. The prince when once started loving his princess will never stop.

We're informed about each and every thought of the characters, leading us to an understanding. The epilogue is a cherry on top and so is chapter 34 (the extra chapter).
Definitely recommended.

My Nobel Fight is a story about the power of hope and taking a chance on love.
From the moment Lorenzo meets Violet he is drawn to her. She is his brother’s, the King, secretary. Violet seems to be the clue that keeps things together for his brother. Lorenzo can see the shadows in her eyes and knows there is more to her story. He sees a sadness that he wishes wasn’t there. Lorenzo makes the choice to follow Violet home. He has asked her out multiple times but instead she is always turning him down.

Violet’s life has not been easy. I hate to call her a victim, but circumstances have put her in a situation where she is being abused and drugged. When Lorenzo is faced with what all Violet has endured, he takes it as his mission to protect her. He will not allow these outside demons to destroy and consume her. How can he when his heart already belongs to her.
Lorenzo is an amazing character. He is strong and calm in crisis. He fights for those he loves. I would also say he is a voice of reason. He has a calmness about him that Violet can latch on to him. In all the turmoil of her life Lorenzo seems to be the brightest light for her.

This was a powerful love story of healing. It also shows you are not your past, you can move forward from it. It does not have to weigh you down or dictate your future. This was unlike any “Royals” story I have ever read. These are characters with real feelings, duty, and protocols while important do not dictate your behavior. This was a 4/5 star read for me. Once I started it, I could not put it down.

This book is about a prince named Lorenzo and the young woman he has come to love (named Violet, who is secretary to the King). The title of the book is so very appropriate, as Violet's journey since the age of 16 had been a series of traumatic events happening to her, which she struggled to overcome. There is a horrible villain in the story, named Ruben, who is the cause of Violet's agony. There is a dramatic confrontation between him and Lorenzo, in the form of an MMA fight actually! There are many suspenseful actions besides the wonderful romance that grows between Lorenzo and Violet, all leading to a dramatic conclusion and a resolution to Ruben's treachery coming from a surprising source. I love the great HEA that comes, as well as the good epilogue. I highly recommend this book!

What isn’t there to like about this book? You have a horrible villain, a Prince, and a woman with a horrific past, but who has pulled herself up.

Violet has had a past that many people would continue to hold them back, but she is a fighter and builds herself up instead of staying down. She is secretary for the King when Lorenzo, his brother, first sees her. Try as he might, she keeps rejecting him, but he does not give up.

Ruben, well, he is the bad guy, and not all that likable. But, that is what a bad guy is for, right?
Without giving away too much, the story pulls you in and keeps you moving along at a comfortable pace. I did like how the relationship built up over time and wasn’t just jumped right into.

This is one you will need to add to your to-read list. I would wager you might want to add the other two books in the series as well.

This is the third book of the Royal Series, I already appreciated the previous books.
The story of Lorenzo and Violet really impressed me, because of the very strong character the author has been able to create. Violet has had a difficult life, and she wants to leave it behind and make a new start, for her and her daughter. This is not simple and, when Prince Lorenzo finds out what she has been through, he decides to help her, because she immediately stole his heart.
Lorenzo is a beautiful character, too. He is strong and bold. He makes all he can to help his beloved one, and fights against the villain, who is the cause of her pain.
I loved the great love story between Violet and Lorenzo, and the fact that they help each other overcome the past and heal from the past injuries.

This is a new author for me and wow did this touching and intense story between Lorenzo and Violet grip my attention and hold it until the end. The emotional and heart wrenching abuse and trauma that Violet was subjected to in her past as a child and then her ex was very sad but the book focuses mostly on Violet survival and the protection Lorenzo offers her. What impacts and holds the reader's attention is the raw and gritty emotions between the couple and their growing attraction to each other. Violet's fight to overcome her emotional baggage and her passage towards healing and living a full happy life with Lorenzo is inspiring. Splendid read - Highly recommended.

I received an arc copy for an honest review. This is my first C.R. Riley book and one of my first royal family books. Violet is leading a life that she did not choose....well, she made a mistake at a young age trusting someone and that has cost her dearly. She’s currently the secretary for the King and that’s how Lorenzo comes into her Life. He truly is her night her night in shining Armour. Although she thinks she can take care of herself, Lorenzo shows her love like no one ever has before. As her trust barriers start coming down the two of them form a beautiful love story and family....with a lot of heat!!

Great standalone read!

This was the first book I have read from this series and it was great! I was able to understand what was going on and who each character was without having to have read the other stories in the series. I loved that this book was mostly focused on Lorenzo and Violet and their relationship and how they exist and move forward as a couple and less on Violet’s past and her ex. This was a great read that very easily sucked you into the world of this series. I can’t wait to read the other books of the series!



I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and fair review.

A fullt immersive experience.

The world this author creates is so intricate, so real, it sucks you right in and keeps you turning pages. While part of a series, you don't have to read these books in order (I didn't) and I enjoyed this first introduction to the Royal family.

This book is very emotional and deals with some really tough topics, but the overarching theme is that of survival and strength. While the prose is occasionally a little rough, the characters and plot are so exquisitely intricate you can't help but keep reading.

Oh, and the sex is super hot, too.

This is beautiful story focused on love and healing.

It is the type of story that clutches you at once and does not release you until you get to the end - then you find yourself pining over the fact that the book has ended.

I loved how the relationship unfolded so we could see these amazing characters grow in ways they never expected.

I enjoyed this story of Violet and Lorenzo. She is the King’s secretary and Lorenzo has watched her work for his brother. Over time he has fallen for her. Violet is in a bad relationship and just waiting for the right time to take her daughter and leave. When Lorenzo discovers all that she has endured, he sets himself as her protector. I rooted for them the whole time. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

My Noble Fight was a fantastic, full speed ahead, page turner! I was lucky enough to get an advanced reader copy from the author and I am a huge fan now. I will be reading the other books in this series and anything else by this author. I really resonated with the heroine and hero in the story and adored this rollercoaster ride with all its twists and turns! A modern day Prince Charming tale that brings out so many emotions.

I absolutely loved this book! 😁
The story handles real life issues whilst also giving you a glimpse at a world where romance wins out :) Prince Lorenzo is the perfect man to sweep Violet off her feet and show her what true love can achieve, chasing away any darkness of her past.
This was a thrilling read and it kept me entertained from start to finish :)

My noble fight - C.R. Riley
My noble fight is a emotional read about Violet and prince Lorenzo. Violet is a strong woman, things happened to her in the past and Lorenzo wants to help her heal. This story is suspenseful, emotional and romantic. I recommend to red this series, it’s very good!

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Violet and the fight she has inside herself through pain and heart break. She is trying to adjust to what is important and that is herself and her daughter.

Read this book! That’s all I can say! It’s so good. I hadn’t read the other books in the series so I was worried about starting with book 3. Not an issue. C. R. did a wonderful job with this book. Some parts were hard to read (emotionally) but in the best possible way. She tackled tough subject matter brilliantly. Now I’m off to read the other books in this series!

I LOVED Lorenzo. What an amazing man to step up and save the damsel in distress. Her life was not easy they come from two different worlds but just because he’s a prince doesn’t mean he can’t get his hands dirty! I love a single parent story with a man who’s willing to risk it all to protect the one he truly loves. Oh and don’t get me started on a little girl calling him daddy total swoon! I love this series sooo much and I highly recommend it!

This book was just as amazing and enticing as the first two. Even if you haven't read them its still a awesome stand alone. Lorenzo and Violet were well created, everything from their personalities to back stories were developed. The author threw in the right amount of family and friends to keep you updated on others but also feel like you are part of the family and world that has been created for the Royals. Lorenzo, like his brothers, is fiercely protective and loyal to the girl he likes. And Violet is hesitant to get involved with a Royal being that she is only the Kings secretary and has a not so perfect past. Together they find that not everything can be planned for.

Go read it, you wont be disappointed.

This is the 3rd book in the Royals Series and this is Lorenzo & Violets story. This is an amazing, heartfelt story, that will have your emotions all over the place. C.R Riley deals with some tough topics, but does so both brilliantly and sensitively. Another great addition to the Royal Series.
