Royal romance? Yes, please. Rags to Royal by Erin Nicolle was a sweet and spicy second-chance romance that had me longing for a hot dirty-talking prince of my very own. I enjoyed everything about Scarlett and Cian’s long-awaited journey to HEA. This is book three in Nicolle’s Royals Gone Rogue series but can be read as a stand-alone.
Amelia Hugh and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in duet-style narration. This was the first time I’d heard these two paired together. Amelia’s soft, melodic voice captured Scarlett’s vulnerabilities, hesitancies, and desires as she gave into her true feelings for Cian after nineteen months of absence and longing. Connor brought his signature charm to convey Cian’s persistently swoony golden retriever tendencies that made this prince irresistible. Both narrators created the perfect amount of steamy tension between them, making their chemistry undeniable.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. If you are a fan of a royal romance with a hot hunky undercover prince, a hard-working single mom mechanic, small-towns, second chances, a devoted teenage daughter, silver charm elephant bracelets, substitute teachers, back patio steam, close proximity, weekend getaways, new start-up foundations, family health scares, love declarations, more steamy times, and a HEA that will royally bewitch you in the best ways, then you will love Scarlett and Cian’s story. I am looking forward to more from Erin Nicolle.
