ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 1, 2017

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.

REVIEW: 4.5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

Oh how I love me a Bad Boy! Add a dash of royalty to him and I am sold baby! LOL

Royally Bad by Nora Flite is the first book in her contemporary romance series called “Bad Boy Royals”. This author is brand new to me, and I am happy to have found her as I am eagerly looking forward to the next books in this series.

Kain Badd (yup seriously that’s his last name ..lol) is one bad boy. A hottie in looks, a charmer in personality, he has never had trouble getting the ladies with his straight forward dirty approach. Love em’ and leave em’ has always worked for him and he has no intention of changing that anytime soon. Family and family business is tough work, and he has no time nor desire to worry about a partner as danger and money is the name of his game. A partner is just a worry no one needs. Until ….

Sammy is not necessarily a sweet innocent girl, but she is kind and very caring. She now owns a small wedding dress shop that is sucking in business in her small town, after returning home from a high fashion job in a large city, to take care of her sick mother while still grieving the loss of her father. YUP that’s as consuming as it sounds. She has no time, no interest in love. Until ….

Kain walks in to Sammy’s shop with his tornado of a twin sister (Oh Fran you stole this book ..lol), and before she can wrap her head around anything, Sammy is not only making Fran a wedding dress, but planning her rehearsal dinner, becoming the maid of honour, ending up in the very sexy sack with Kain, trying not to get killed, and living as a well kept prisoner for an undisclosed amount of time. WTF!? LOL Once she can actually stop and take a breathe, she has come to find that she has fallen in love with Kain as he has with her, and secrets so deep begin to surface. Secrets that this Royal Bad guy (oh and yes he is actually ROYAL) and perfect woman for him, have to live with … and then make sure their families can.

There is a whole lot of story going on. Twists and turns that seriously are incredible, and if you believe in fate, then you’ll get a kick out of this book. My only complaint would be that there was a lack of flow at times which took away from some of the believability. It felt like we’d go from one situation to the other and some of it felt far fetched. However, once I decided to let that be what it was, I just kicked back and went on the wild ride too! 🙂

A very fun, very sexy kind of read! If you like to laugh while you enjoy your bad boys, then this book is for you!

HAPPY READING! 🙂

excerpt

 

She held me like I was the only thing keeping her on the planet. It was a grip reserved for lovers or, in her case, people who had never been on a motorcycle before.

I didn’t have a spare helmet, so I’d forced her to wear mine while I went without. My father would have praised me while my mother would have cracked me upside my temple for choosing someone’s safety over my own.

But she wasn’t here.

And Sammy was.

My engine crackled, gravel flying away from my front tire as I pulled up outside the impound lot. The metal beast purred between my thighs, then it went silent. “Here we are,” I said, twisting to look at Sammy.

Inch by inch, she eased her hands off my middle. They were bent like claws, clearly cramped. I missed them instantly. When she pulled the helmet off, her hair fell from it in tangled strands.

The sight of her stunned face—wide lips, sparkling eyes, and tomato cheeks—made my heart jump. It was a confusing sensation that left me dizzy.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

She focused on me, blinking. “I know how it feels to be a cannonball.”

Laughter exploded from me. “That’s one way to describe it.” My hand came up, stroking hair from her forehead before I could stop myself. We touched through our skin . . . but it was more than that.

Heat plucked at the base of my neck. I couldn’t stop how my brushing fingertips became a firm palm cupping her cheek. My mouth tingled; I knew how she’d taste, I wanted to experience her soft lips as they buzzed with the last of her adrenaline.

Sammy started to lean in. In the blackness of her dilating pupils, I saw my half-open mouth. She must have seen her own expression in my eyes, too. My thumb grazed the corner of her lips; her hand closed on mine, pushing me away.

“Come on,” she said, leaving the helmet on the seat. “Let’s go.”

Recovering from the rejection, I followed her down. Her bare feet touched the hot gravel, but it was her bones—still vibrating with the violence of my bike—that gave up. Sammy buckled sideways, her dress flipping upward as her face crashed straight toward the ground.

Faster than I had any right to be . . . but I just needed to be . . . I caught her by her elbow. It was like the other day in my driveway all over again. We were tangled dancers, and while no one had seen us yesterday, a confused impound worker gawked at us now.

Gentle as a breeze, I scooped her up in my arms. Sammy gasped, which was good, because it muted my subtle groan. Holding her against me was pure pleasure. Her weight was perfect, just enough to keep me grounded so I wouldn’t float into the heavens.

“Kain, put me down.”

“Nope. Have you seen this place?” Stepping over rocks and broken glass, I headed for the gate. “You don’t want to put those heels back on, that’s fine. But if you try to step on this shit with your silky feet, you’ll be seeing blood.”

“My silky feet? Jeez, don’t tell me you have a foot fetish.”

The man waiting by the gate stood up like we were royalty coming his way. He had no clue that one of us actually was. “Hey there,” I said, squinting at his name tag. “. . . Larry. My lady friend here has a car she needs to grab. Show him the paperwork, Sammy.”

Pulling her purse into her lap, she fumbled the yellow papers out, handing them over. The young man took them hesitantly, saying, “Uh, all right. Give me your key, I’ll go grab it.”

Sammy gave them up, then we both watched as Larry trucked off across the giant lot of vehicles. It was like a graveyard for cars, their bodies in various degrees of decay.

The wind kicked dust up, and on instinct, I shielded Sammy from it. Doing so pushed my face close to the top of her head. Hair strands tickled my cheeks, a sensation as nice as her fingers would have been on the small of my back.

“Kain,” she whispered.

My veins quickened. “Yeah?”

“After this . . . I don’t want to see you again.”
