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.
** Look for WOULD BE KING, WANNABE HEIR, and THE PRETEND PRINCE to complete this Royal Series. All four contemporary romances are standalones with overlapping characters. **

Just what I needed

Reviewed in Australia on 7 January 2019

This surprise release was just the antidote I needed to all the Christmas and New Year celebrations. I was able to sit down and just enjoy a read, which hadn't happened for a few weeks.

Tori and Adrien's story was a cute, sexy, story of finding real love against the odds, when you have family and your country breathing down your back to make a suitable match.

Our lovelies are both a little lost at the moment, and find a bit of sense and companionship in each other. I love how they meet and how their stories came together.

There are a lot of secondary characters, that at first as the story is starting were a little confusing - however I think that is more me than the story - blogger burn out is a real thing, and I was in the middle of it. It is also setting up characters for the next books in this series too.

I just wanted Tori and Adrien to be together. But can they make it with all the outside pressures on them?

To find out, you will need to read for yourself.

Fun, flirty and fabulous, I cannnot wait to see where Ms Karr takes this series.

Please don't make me wait too long to find out!

Review: The Royals 1: Washed Up Royal

Reviewed in Australia on 14 December 2019

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!

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.

Outstanding!

Reviewed in the United States on 8 January 2019

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!

Awesome

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.

Loved Tori and Adrien!

Reviewed in the United States on 3 June 2019

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!
