Brilliant! Loved this story very much! Engaging, spicy, witty and well written. There was just enough balance between the angst and the romance. The differences between Lev and Daphne were a big sticking point and it was great that this was explore deeper and not just glossed over. Highly recommend!

I loved the first book in this series and this one was even better. An enemies to lovers romnace, this book grabbed my attention right from the start. I couldn’t get enough of these characters. Their chemistry was undeniable, you could feel it on every single page. As the second book in an already strong series, this book just took it to the next level. This author never fails to impress me and books like this are the perfect example of why. I had to read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. This is a fantastic story and I can’t wait for more.

This is an entertaining, brilliant and well written story by an author I never hesitate to pick up. As soon as I saw her name attached to this book I knew I had to read it. I was pulled straight into this book and the characters. I loved them from the moment I started reading. They had such a tough journey ahead of them and yet the determination is was clear. Once I started reading this book I had to finish it in one go. I needed to see how things would play out and I could not get enough of Briget and Fyn. This is yet another incredible book and I am so excited to see what is next for the series.

Yes after reading the last book with Bridget and Fynix, with that little tease at the end with Daphne and Lev. I just had to run and read this book. OMG this was even better than the last. Although I really liked Bridget and Fynix, Daphne and Lev are my absolute favorite. Their semi-enemies to lovers is filled with so much passion and angst it was almost tangible. The authors really make you feel like you are the characters making us feel all their emotions lol i love it. I would definitely clear your day cause this would make you want to finish it all in one go and leave you frustrated when someone or something interrupts you.i really hope this isnt the end of this world. I would love to see it continue somehow 🥰 I would 100 % recommend reading not just this one but both of the bools in the series.

The authors take us along the journey of an enemies to lovers path with Lev and Daphne in the second book of The Crowned Hearts Series.
I have to go back and read book one but as far as Lev and Daphne…
Daphne has a secret she stays behind in Lovolia after her best friend’s wedding rather than return to the United States. Lev is required to go on a mandatory holiday while his best friend goes on his honeymoon.
The two end up together where one thing leads to another and things happen that lead to other secrets coming to light…cue the plot twist I did not see coming.
I’ll leave it there and let you find out what happens.
The book was filled with plenty of banter among the main characters. I will read the first book in the series.

GAH!!! This here is absolute P. E. R. F. E. C. T. I. O. N. !!!! It needs to be made into a movie so I can watch it over and over again… Russian and Royally Complicated is the second book in The Crowned Hearts series by the talented duo of Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. This is a captivating, oh-so-sexy, and fun enemies-to-lovers romance with forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, hidden royalty, a bad boy prince, volcanic chemistry, sizzle, a little suspense, some angst, tension, and emotion….. and then there’s also one of my favourite tropes in this book- and it’s one of the best parts about this story, too- but I won’t mention because I don’t want to ruin it for you.
This is Lev and Daphne’s story- who we both met back in book one as they are Fyn and Bridget’s best friends. A steamy encounter at their best friends wadding might have been in the heat of the moment, but neither is prepared for what happens next. Two of my favourite authors come together and create magic- EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! I can’t wait to see what they do next! Happy Reading…

Russian and Royally Complicated By: Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson
This is the follow up to Royally Complicated. I truly loved this one. It showed just as much character development as the last one. In it we meet the prince’s best friend Lev and Bridget’s best friend Daphne. Both of which hate one another but find a common bond in being lost after the events that happened between their best friends, the prince and Bridget. This is a fantastic enemies to lovers romance, which just so happens to be my favorite trope. They have fantastic tension and their banter was so much fun to read you could feel their feelings and tension just emanate off the page. This book has the perfect amount of sizzle to it too. I definitely recommend this book. It is such a fun read that I didn’t want to put down!

This book had me speed reading to find out the secrets being kept! I did not read the first book and although I didn’t miss out on anything in the story here, I do wish I would have read the first book before hand to meet Fyn and Bridget. I really like Daphne. I like that she doesn’t try to fit in to be like the rest of the royal family and just tries to be herself. I had a feeling her and Lev were going to get into trouble, their chemistry is crazy. My heart broke when Lev treated Daphne like crap, but so happy that his grandmother Mira totally loves her. The whole book Daphne kept mentioning her secret, and why she couldn’t go back to Colorado and finally in the end when she tells all, I was surprised. She is so cute.

5 Star’s Royally Complicated (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1) by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson
Royally Complicated is the first book in The Crowned Hearts Series and is a Contemporary Romance /Forbidden Love/ Opposites Attract that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. Holy Cow this book takes steamy hot sex on a beach to a whole new level. There’s plenty of drama, secret identities and plenty of steamy sex and their chemistry is off the charts. This is Fyn and Bridget’s story. She’s on what should have been her honeymoon but she caught her fiancé cheating. A nice fling while on holiday is just what she needs. Then there’s Fyn who is more than a hot and sexy Surfer . She’s fixing to find out he’s Royalty. What will happen she finds out who he really is? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m ready to dive in to the next book.

Mannnnnn they did not disappoint! W000W, this book was amazing from the suspense to the steamy romance 👏 I love every part of this book. The royal theme was intriguing and the crazy LLM smh wild. I truly cannot wait to read what takes place in Levs and Daphne story, to see how their Romance will blossom. And i look forward to reading more stories by both these fantastic authors 🥰 Ps I for one love 🍍 pineapples on pizzas just made me love Bridget more lmao

Russian and Royally Complicated is book 2 in The Crowned Hearts series. It is a stand-alone enemy to lovers by the dynamic duo USA Today Bestselling Authors Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. These opposites attract story is sweet, sexy, full of passion and fun and add in a bit of vodka and spice, and you are drawn in and the pages fly by. Off the charts chemistry and flying sparks in more ways than one happens when there are secrets and hidden identities. Gwyn and Christy turn up the heat and turmoil in this one night of hate sex but what happens after stuns them all. Just as the first book Royally Complicated it is chock-a-block full of twists, complications, royalty, duty, a country possibly coming undone, lies and so much more. It is also filled with drama, action and humour and just enough need and romance. This steamy read will leave you with all the feels. There are a few of the characters that evoke strong emotions in the reader. I said it before with the first book, but I will say it again this writing duo make a good team. I really enjoyed the story and look forward to reading the next book in the series/collection.

Royally Complicated By: Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson
This is a fantastic story that features a prince and a heartbroken girl. Fyn is the prince and he is written as a very relatable royal character. He is at the beach to escape – from life, from all that is expected of him, etc. I could relate to that on a very visceral level – I mean who hasn’t had a moment where they want to run away just to breathe. Bridget is alone on her honeymoon. So she is drinking away her current situation and making the best of this beach vacation. I definitely didn’t blame her. I have to give the authors credit – Bridget’s situation could have come about very whiney and poor me but it didn’t she was a girl on the beach who happened to be heartbroken. But heartbroken was not a defining role for her. I loved how spicy this book got! This is definitely more of a modern fairy tale and I truly enjoyed it. It has a good balance of romance, fairy tale, and yet still went into the aspects of royalty. I definitely recommend reading this one. It has just enough spice to keep you satisfied!

This was such a great read. It is full of action, sexual tension, secrets and a great enemies to lovers romance. I loved the characters of Lev and Daphne really bring this story to life. I love their chemistry both the sexual chemistry but also their hatred for each other. The way they argue and irritated each other is funny to read but you just know that type of tension and chemistry is going to be explosive when they finally give into the attraction between them and boy did it explode.
It isn’t just a steamy story filled with sexual tension both Lev and Daphne are hiding things and keeping secrets and when these secrets start to reveal themselves we see them grow closer together.
This story was really well written and I was totally invested in these characters and their story. The author’s did an incredible job of bringing their personalities to life which in turn makes them seem more real and engaging. I can’t wait to read more.

Oh heavens, these two can heat up a room. This book is fantastic and hotter than Yuma in the middle of summer!! I enjoyed reading about their adventures after the Royal Wedding. The sparks flying. The chemistry brewing. This is one hot romance that you need gloves to read it with. The characters are entertaining and full of spunk and sass. It’s a quick read that will set you on fire. If you like hot and spicy romance, give this a shot.

This is the second book in this series but can be read as a stand alone. The first book is just as great as this one and one you don’t want to miss. This is a well written story where a best friend’s wedding and hate sex bring two unlikely people together. I enjoyed these two characters. They added so much to the story and made it easy for me to read. I enjoyed how they brought the story to life on each page and I had no problems connecting with them. This is a fast paced, engaging story where the author’s use details to make you feel as if you are part of the story. There is great growth of the plot and characters which are added to the story. This is a story that I really enjoyed reading. I highly recommend this book and this series.

This book was just crazy. I loved it and was hooked from the very first chapter. I really wish I read book 1 first but didnt realize the order of them is recommended to be read that way. Daphne is visiting Lovolia for her best friend Bridget’s wedding to prince Fyn. Every time Daphne comes for a visit, her and Fyn’s best friend…a member of the Royal guard Lev are at eachothers throats. They can’t stand eachother. He’s always grumpy and she’s just loud with no clue on how to act around royalty. Things change in the reading room at the wedding. These two finally hate screw eachother thinking it will get it out of their system.
Daphne is dropped off at the airport when the couple leaves for their honeymoon but she decides to go to Elysium….only one problem…that’s where lev is staying for holiday while Fyn and Bridget are on their honeymoon.
When Lev finds out Daphne is there, he wants her to leave. Both of these characters have lots of baggage. Lots of things on their minds. They agree to stay out of eachothers way until they don’t.
Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, the suspense of the situation hooks you right in.
There’s a lot more to this book than 2 people who can’t stand eachother hooking up at their best friends wedding. There’s lots of feelings. There some happy, some sad, some scared and some heat! Great 5 star book

And the delicious way the water trickled down over his washboard abs and the V thingy.
And the fact that I’m on the trip that was supposed to be my honeymoon until I caught the bastard cheating.
Yeah, I’m going to blame it on all that.
Because reckless behavior is so not usually me.
But surfer god Fyn is a breath of fresh air I so badly need.
A break from reality of the world around me.
One he seems to need, too.
It’s a single wild moment in my otherwise structured life that seems to be crumbling.
A perfect snapshot in time…
Until the royal guard shows up looking for him.
Turns out the king of the waves is actually a prince.
A real one next in line for the throne.
And I just banged him on the sand.
People say a one-night stand can be good for you, especially after a break-up.
I’m starting to question that advice.
Because finding my prince is only the beginning…
Things are about to get royally complicated.
Royally Complicated is a royal romance from USA Today Bestselling Authors Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson with a bad boy prince and good girl commoner, forbidden love, opposites attract, intrigue, deception, and tons of steam that will leave you wanting your own prince.
Gwyn McNamee is an attorney, writer, wife, and mother (to one human baby and one fur baby). Originally from the Midwest, Gwyn relocated to her husband’s home town of Las Vegas in 2015 and is enjoying her respite from the cold and snow. Gwyn loves to write stories with a bit of suspense and action mingled with romance and heat. When she isn’t either writing or voraciously devouring any books she can get her hands on, Gwyn is busy adding to her tattoo collection, golfing, and stirring up trouble with her perfect mix of sweetness and sarcasm (usually while wearing heels).
Christy Anderson
Writing with a whole lot of sarcasm and humor, mixed with a bit of Southern charm, Christy Anderson ain’t no sweet tea kinda storyteller. As an author of romance, Christy believes it doesn’t always have to be hearts and flowers; sometimes, it is dark and twisted, but romance nonetheless. She mixes terror, revenge, and a sliver of love and hope into stories about family, friends, struggles, blurred lines, and happily-ever-afters. Christy lives in the beautiful mountains of Eastern Tennessee with her husband and 152 cats (not really, but close), where she enjoys writing one twist at a time.

This is the first book in the Crowned Hearts series but can be read as a stand-alone. This book focuses on (Prince) Fyn and Bridget.
I enjoyed the secret identity element as the secret came out and Bridget’s reaction. It’s a fun read with spice and humour, whilst also being able to play with your emotions.
The characters are incredible, well-written and entertaining. The writing flows nicely and is easy to follow. The chemistry and emotion are built nicely and well-placed making for an enjoyable experience you won’t want to put down.
I enjoy these authors separately but together they are a phenomenal team, and I cannot wait to get started on the next book in the series!

Royalty, Romance & Ruckus The first book in The Crowned Heart series and it is a forbidden romance with mysteries to solve and lots of chemistry. Fyn and Bridget make a great couple and the author writes the story in such a way that had me vested in their success. A fantastic story that will appeal to a wide audience. Highly recommend.

OMG these two have done it again!!! I absolutely love these two authors individually- but put them together and magic happens!!! With the upcoming release of the second book in this series, I thought I would do a re-read of this one in anticipation of Book #2. I adored this book the first time around and love it just as much this time. Royally Complicated is the first book in The Crowned Hearts series by the talented duo of Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. It is a sublime forbidden romance with a secret identity, a bad boy prince, a holiday fling, electric chemistry, plenty of hot sizzling encounters, a little suspense, a splash of angst, emotion, and more. This is Fyn and Bridget’s story- she’s on a holiday with her best friend, a holiday that should have been her honeymoon, that’s if she hadn’t found her fiancé cheated. A holiday fling is just what she needs to get her ex out of her system. He’s the sexy surfer that snares her attention. But there’s more to him than first meets the eye. What happens when secrets are revealed? You really should read all the entertaining details for yourself- you are bound to love their as much as I have. At this rate, I am going to have to add another wing to my fantasy book boyfriend mansion as I keep having to add more ‘residents’ to it, especially considering every one of Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s heroes (both individually and collaboratively) have been moved into my BBF Mansion, all because they are so delicious that I can’t help but want to ‘keep’ Every. Single. One. Of. them. Now I can’t wait to devour Russian and Royally Complicated (Book #2)- the countdown has started, a couple more sleeps and it will be here!!!! Happy Reading…

This is a book by an author that I never hesitate to pick up. An author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is the first book in this series and what a great start it is. I can’t wait to see what happens in the second book. This is a well written story about a steamy stranger and sex on the beach. A story where there is forbidden love and opposite attraction. I enjoyed these characters. They are strong, connectable and had me coming back for more. There is great growth as well as chemistry throughout the story as well. A fast paced story that you need to find out what happens next. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is easy and entertaining as well. This is a great book which has a little bit of everything in it. Don’t miss out on this one. I highly recommend this book.

This made me think of an adult version of Cinderella. Bridget meets Fyn on his private beach. The fun and adventure starts there. She doesn’t realize he’s a Prince. I fell in love with this story because they both had to overcome so many challenges. The King and Queen were stuck on tradition and, quite frankly, were snobs. Not my favorite, but definitely antagonistic characters. I loved the storyline and how it flowed. This author does such a fabulous job with her stories that you just feel like you are there watching it. I can’t wait to read book 2.

4.5 stars Royally Complicated is a stand-alone forbidden romance tale with a bad boy. Who doesn’t love a bad boy story. The book is a really good read however a little cliché. But Gwyn and Christy do throw in a little turmoil and a few tough emotions that gives the story just that bit more making it a must read. It is fun and sexy and sweet and spicy, and the writing draws you in. The chemistry between Bridget and Fyn is off the charts. When she meets Fyn, the sparks fly. One night is all they thought they would have. It is full of complications, cheating, betrayal, royal duty, some unscrupulous family, prince charming, a kingdom in turmoil, misunderstandings and foes that you may or may not see coming. Royally Complicated is just that and is an emotional read, filled with chaos and drama, action and heart pounding moments and some much-needed humour and love. This steamy read will leave you with all the feels. There are a few of the characters that you will love to hate and hate to love and royal or not you will want to smack them. Overall, the book was a really good read and this writing duo make a good team. I look forward to reading second book in the series.

And the delicious way the water trickled down over his washboard abs and the V thingy.
And the fact that I’m on the trip that was supposed to be my honeymoon until I caught the bastard cheating.
Yeah, I’m going to blame it on all that.
Because reckless behavior is so not usually me.
But surfer god Fyn is a breath of fresh air I so badly need.
A break from reality of the world around me.
One he seems to need, too.
It’s a single wild moment in my otherwise structured life that seems to be crumbling.
A perfect snapshot in time…
Until the royal guard shows up looking for him.
Turns out the king of the waves is actually a prince.
A real one next in line for the throne.
And I just banged him on the sand.
People say a one-night stand can be good for you, especially after a break-up.
I’m starting to question that advice.
Because finding my prince is only the beginning…
Things are about to get royally complicated.
Royally Complicated is a royal romance from USA Today Bestselling Authors Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson with a bad boy prince and good girl commoner, forbidden love, opposites attract, intrigue, deception, and tons of steam that will leave you wanting your own prince.
Gwyn McNamee is an attorney, writer, wife, and mother (to one human baby and one fur baby). Originally from the Midwest, Gwyn relocated to her husband’s home town of Las Vegas in 2015 and is enjoying her respite from the cold and snow. Gwyn loves to write stories with a bit of suspense and action mingled with romance and heat. When she isn’t either writing or voraciously devouring any books she can get her hands on, Gwyn is busy adding to her tattoo collection, golfing, and stirring up trouble with her perfect mix of sweetness and sarcasm (usually while wearing heels).
Christy Anderson
Writing with a whole lot of sarcasm and humor, mixed with a bit of Southern charm, Christy Anderson ain’t no sweet tea kinda storyteller. As an author of romance, Christy believes it doesn’t always have to be hearts and flowers; sometimes, it is dark and twisted, but romance nonetheless. She mixes terror, revenge, and a sliver of love and hope into stories about family, friends, struggles, blurred lines, and happily-ever-afters. Christy lives in the beautiful mountains of Eastern Tennessee with her husband and 152 cats (not really, but close), where she enjoys writing one twist at a time.

Such a sweet and feel good Christmas book! Holiday Terminal (A Second Chance Secret Baby Billionaire Holiday Romance) is the first book in the Warren Family Holidays Series by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson. Penelope is a hard working single mom who is just trying to get home to her family for Christmas. One problem is there is a wicked storm, which halters her travel plans to get to get there. So, they get stranded in an extremely small town in Tennessee. She isn’t the only one who gets stranded there either. Artemis Warren has an infamous family and has the money to go with it. The one thing that he doesn’t have is the girl that broke his heart one summer in North Carolina. He’s carried a torch for her ever since. As fate plays it, these two get stranded at the same time at the very same airport their planes had to land at due to the storm. In less than 24 hours their lives get turned upside down and they leave to a happy ending. This book is a little bit of an emotional roller coaster. It was such an easy read and it pulled you in from the start and didn’t stop until the very end. I am so glad that there is a second book! I can’t wait to read it! This book is a Hallmark movie waiting to happen! I absolutely adored it! I have no complaints at all! Well done ladies!

Holiday Terminal is a great Christmas read. This is the first book in this series, i got pulled in straight away. It is well written and i got really invested in Penelope and Art’s romance, they met six years previous but when Art left at the end of the Summer and never contacted Penelope again the last thing she wanted was to run into him at the airport when her flight had to make an emergency landing. Can they get a second chance? you will have to read to find out

Holiday Terminal by Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson is book one of The Warren Family Holidays series. I read this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down!
Penelope didn’t intend to get stuck at the airport in the middle of nowhere on Christmas Eve but now she has no choice but to wait out the snow storm. She never would have expected that the one person she didn’t think she’d ever see again would get stuck at the same airport. Nothing good could come from both Penelope and Artemis being stuck at the same airport, or so Penelope thinks.
I really enjoyed reading this book! It was a quick read because you get sucked in and don’t want to put it down. I could feel Penelope’s terror when she first saw Artemis and realized it could spell disaster for her. I also spent a bit of time being mad at Artemis. He has a few less than favorable moments. Overall, it was very well written and a great read!
