Washed Up Royal (The Royals) Kindle Edition

From New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr comes a dashing new, sexy standalone royal romance.

A simple notification turns my world upside down...

The tabloids are reporting,
I’ve taken the crown and run. (Not entirely true)

As you might have guessed,
I’m not an ordinary girl and I don’t lead an ordinary life,
But that doesn’t mean I always follow the rules.

This time, though, I feel compelled to obey.
Which means I have to find a king,
To sit alongside my throne,
Or lose it all.

With only the clothes on my back,
I head to the land of majestic playboys,
Where a royal rebel strides right into my life.

With his sultry eyes and sinful lips,
He turns my world right-side up.

The press is calling him washed up. (I think he’s anything but)

Gorgeous, sexy, irresistible,
And utterly charming,
He’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Everything is almost too perfect,
Too easy.

Until I discover,
This hot-blooded royal has a reason for being here.
And it’s more than just me.

That thing I said about easy,
Turns out…
Nothing ever is.

My royal rebel has a name,
It’s Prince Adrien Laurent.
My name is Princess Victoria Blanchette.
And this is our story.

What happens when a one-night stand turns into something more?? but then add on the fact that it was between 2 royals??

Read Washed Up Royal to find out that answer.

Washed Up Royal is the first book in Kim Karr’s newest series….The Unknown Royals. Each book will be about new couples and I believe are standalone novels, but you do meet all the other Royals in this story. This is a romantic comedy with the element of mystery/suspense added.

I loved the love story between Adrien and Tori. It was sweet, romantic and sexy ;) But I also loved all the behind the scenes stuff regarding some of the inner workings of the other Royals. (That will makes sense when you read the book) I thought the flow and pace of this story worked well. Kim dives right into the heart of the story but didn’t rush things along.

Like I said this book is a standalone novel and is told in Dual POV. I don’t want to say to much about the storyline, than what I have already said. Just read this book, you won’t be sorry!!!

I loved most of the secondary characters we meet in this story. I almost hope there will be a spin off for some of them…. Truman, Rachel or Ava.

If you are a fan of a royal romance story then you will want to read this story. It is one of the best ones I have read. If you are a fan of Kim Karr’s books, you won’t want to miss her latest gem. If you have never read a book by Kim, then this is the perfect place to start this amazing journey.

I have always loved stories where the girl finds her Prince charming. Not only does Tori find Prince charming , she also finds a king to rule beside her.
When Princess Victoria's father the king dies she is to be his successor but on one condition, she must be married. Now she is on the hunt for a husband before before her wicked uncle does something and he becomes leader.
Prince Adrian meets a woman at the airport that he can't stop thinking about. After one night together, he has to find her.
Can Adrian accept who Tori really is? What happens if she doesn't find a husband in time? Can she live a life without love? Will Adrian agree to be her husband even if he will not be king?
I really loved this story and can't wait to read the next one. I love author Kim Karr and her writing style is unique and will have you falling in love with the characters. Start this series today and I hope you love them too.

Washed Up Royal by Kim Karr is the first book in her latest series, The Royals . This tale of a princess on the run plotting for a husband so she can rightfully rule her kingdom per its antiquated laws. But will one night with a handsome stranger spoil her for all others - why yes, of course it does. Good thing he's a royal too!

Victoria and Adrian's story is sweet and sexy with underlying intrigue and drama. Told in dual pov with a happily ever after. I loved this! Enjoy!

I have to admit that cover pulled me in but the blurb convinced me to 1-click! Tori and Adrien's story was equal parts funny, sweet, and smokin' hot with just a little bit of angst/ drama thrown in- and it was exactly what I was looking for in my next read. The supporting characters were great, and I am looking forward to diving into Prince Max's story next!

Once again Kim Karr exceeds my expectations, and produces a spectacular novel with the release of Washed Up Royal. This latest book tells the story of a prince and a princess, both a little lost, both a little lonely and destined for each other. I loved the dual points of view, and how the author switched from one vantage point to the other from chapter to chapter - it kept the perspective light and fresh. I also loved the modern day fairytale feel of story: the wicked uncle (witch,) the helpful friends (fairygodmothers) and Tori's bodyguard Dante (faithful soldier.) This is a funny and romantic story that touches the heart and has all the "feels." Five plus stars!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairy tales really can come true
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019
Stories about fictional royalty were very popular in the latter half of 2018, the Meghan & Harry effect that proved that fairy tales really can come true ☺

Princess Victoria is set to be crowned the new Queen of Alexandria but the man she was supposed to marry and have by her side as King is not who she wants to be with. After ending things with him, she decides to take some time out for herself and be a bit impulsive.

Leaving the country for some time out leads her to an incredible night with a man she can only wish she coud be with for more than one night. Someone she feels an amazing connection with. Sadly, one night is all she can give him. She needs to find a new suitor and he has to be of royal blood to meet the requirements of her upcoming coronation and a life of duty.

As Victoria reluctantly agrees to interviewing potential suitors, she has no idea that her one night stand is in fact a Prince of royal blood and on the suitors list. Seriously, is fate playing games with her because this feels too good to be true.

Adrien is thrilled to see the beautiful woman who left him feeling completely bewitched and he is more than happy to stand up and help her with her ‘situation’ – in fact he insists. He already knows they have the right chemistry in the ways that matter ☺

However, there are more things at play going on in Victoria’s wider circle and not everyone is happy about this potential coupling. A few more battles will need to be fought of these are to get their happy ever after.

Washed Up Royal was so darn good. I loved it from the beginning and just couldn't put it down. Adrien and Tori were perfect for each other, there is little to no drama. It was so well written and just flows so easily. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
