Royally Bad - Release and Review

Royally Bad

by Nora Flite

Getting close to an arrogant bad boy like him is dangerous. Too bad it’s her only choice.

Kain Badd looks great on paper: rich, handsome, and he’s even a prince. But after spending a few minutes together, Sammy sees the real him—arrogant, possessive, and too hot for his own good. If she hadn’t agreed to help plan his sister’s wedding, she could have avoided him. Instead, she’s waking up in his bed after an unforgettable night she definitely wants to forget. But he won’t let her.

When Sammy thinks her life can’t get any crazier, the wedding is raided by the police, and she spends her first-ever night in jail. The irresistible Kain isn’t just bad in name—his family is connected to a dangerous underworld. Now she’s mixed up in a power struggle between his family’s empire and their rivals. She has no choice but to put herself back in this filthy prince’s extremely capable hands.

Sammy must trust Kain to keep her safe. She’s just not sure she can trust herself to resist temptation.

I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!

What I say: The premise of Royally Bad is fun and entertaining. I liked the idea of the gangster prince and the wedding dress maker. 
I laughed more than expected, although I have to admit, not all of my laughter was necessarily in places where it was supposed to be. Certain elements were particularly far fetched - BUT this was also what I really enjoyed about Sammy and Kain's romance. The drama and escapism.
Sammy is awkward and funny. I honestly wasn't sure what she was going to do or say next. She finds herself going from dress maker extraordinaire/unwilling wedding guest, to basically being deeply involved with the Band family and all aspects of Kain's life.
I expected to love Kain but he didn't manage to totally win me over. I wasn't sure about how he treats Sammy at times or allows others to treat her whilst claiming to want the best for her. Don't get me wrong, he does bring on the swoon and I did like him, but just didn't love him.
The story involves twists galore and although I did find some events hugely unlikely, I enjoyed the story and really wanted Sammy and Kain to find their unique HEA together...
3.5 Stars in my Sky!
