This is the first book in The Crowned Hearts Series. This was such a great story. On the surface this book may seem like just another fun steamy romance, but in reality there are so many things going on in this book. There are so many things that Fyn and Bridget have to overcome if there is even a chance for them. Their chemistry is hot enough to singe the pages of the book.

Have you seen this cover !? Hello I’d also throw caution to the wind and down tequila! 🤣😉🫣
Fynix s the crown prince of Lovolia and is next in line to the throne . He’s not ready to be forced into a marriage of convince but his folks , especially his mum is adding pressure but he can be so rude in such a polite manner that has me in stitches and cheering him on 🤣🫣 he needs air and heads to his beach to catch a few waves and that’s exactly where he meets up with Bridget ….
Bridget is licking her wounds with her bestie at what would’ve been her honeymoon destination fortunately she dodged the bullet with that cheating no good for nothing but my heart does hurt for but she’s about to meet her own Prince Charming #forreals#
Now what can be better than bad tequila , deep conversation and a beach romp …
She’s pined over him for a year so she heads back to Lovolia to say farewell but again their paths cross and then there’s alot that happens , Fynix escapes Lev and the guards , when they do find him Bridget discovers who he really is and then the drama starts with Abigail , the rules of royalty , the revolt and my head is spinning but alls well that ends well 😉
I don’t like Abigail 🤮and have a few choice but unladylike descriptions, the queen really ruffled my feathers but don’t judge her harshly, be patient with her she’s actually a real sweetheart and after all the hoops these 2 had to go through they deserve their HEA 😍

I really enjoy this authors writing. I always want to grab her books to read. This book is just as good as all the others, and has bits of spiciness and comedy that makes for a great romance read. You can feel the chemistry jumping off the pages, almost like you’re in the room with Fyn and Bridget. This book has so much to offer! I definitely recommend.

I never hesitate to pick any book up from this author! I loved this one more than the first (Royally Complicated), and that’s a rare thing! Lev and Daphne have such a captivating chemistry that you’ll feel the tension jump right off the pages. The level of emotions you feel from them is incredible. I love how strong (and stubborn) Daphne is throughout this story because Lev sure doesn’t know how to handle her at first. Also, there are steamy scenes in here to die for. I highly recommend picking this up and giving it a chance, but don’t forget to pick up the first as well to get a little more back story on everyone involved!

This was my first book by Gwyn and I have to say I am now a fan for sure. This is the first in the series even though this is a stand alone series, this book is a great start! The characters are everything you ask for and more. The story is a romantic story with all the witty elements you need for love. I cannot wait to read the second story!

First time reading from author Anderson, but what I do know is in great McNamee fashion, this story is hot AF and at only 20% in I was in love with these two characters already!
If it comes to that, blame the tequila. ALWAYS blame the tequila. That’s my new motto. ~Bridget It’s like this character was already in my head.
Bridget and Fyn have an easy attraction and mutual connection. If only being together was as easy. This story is about forbidden love. A story about bucking the rules and living life. But also having to deal with the consequences of our choices and actions.
Sometimes, everything we thought we wanted has to fall apart, so everything we need can fall into place. And that is precisely how fate led me to my prince. ~Bridget
While most of the time I felt like Bridget was a bumbling, stereotypical female, I felt like there was more to her. She’s in promotions/marketing so she’s somewhat smart. Maybe it was just being all up in her feelings…first losing her fiancé then falling for Fyn and all he brings. Or maybe, just maybe it WAS all that tequila! I still loved her character and love how she gets her HEA!
Looking forward to being Russian and royally complicated!

This book was fantastic. I highly recommend it. Bridget is on vacation and wonder me over into the secluded part of the beach. That is where she meets Fyn. She doesn’t know that he is actually a prince. Fyn is pulled in different directions, when it comes to Bridget and his family. Will their love be able to handle all the pressure?

Bridget is on her honeymoon but without the groom, finding that her fiancée was having an affair with his secretary will somewhat put a blip in the plans. So arming herself with her best friend and deciding not to waste the trip she finds herself in Lovolia. When Daphne starts pushing her to forget the idiot she was going to marry and have a holiday fling, but when Daphne comments get too close for comfort off storms Bridget with a bottle of tequila.
While wondering Bridget finds herself on a small beach with no crowds accept a lone man surfing in the sea, when all of a sudden she is starring at the most handsome man she has seen in ages and when he approaches her demanding she leaves the private beach something happens between them that makes it impossible to move. Until advances are made and tequila regrets maybe on the cards.
Fyn has pressures most people could not conceive, the next in the line for King all he wants is to live his life the way he wants to live it, but when the King and Queen are pressuring him to marry Princess Abigail who he does not even like it all becomes too much. Fyn does what he loves to unwind and goes surfing at the private beach until he is rudely interrupted by a trespasser. As Fyn gets to know her better the chemistry between the two of them is off the charts but just as he has found her she vanishes and he is lost.
Over the year of searching for her she shows up back in his life and he is not letting her escape again, but with the unrest in his country can he keep hold of the woman he loves and help save the country he loves from the rebels out to destroy the monarchy?
I have read a lot of Gwyn’s books and they all offer strong female leads and this one does not disappoint, although at the beginning Bridget is lost and seems grown down by the end of the story she is determined to fight for her man even if it upsets the Queen/Fyn’s mother. Fyn’s character has different dimensions and with his strong relationship to his best friend Lev shows another layer to this complicated character.
The story flows and is well written, with twists and turns throughout the story will have you engaged until the end. As this is the first book in the series it sets up the world of Lovolia brilliantly and has you wanting to visit to see the various sites that is described within the pages.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series regarding Lev and Daphne as this seems a fiery relationship in this book.

If Hallmark made raunchy movies, this would be it. Small town girls meets her Prince after a horrible breakup while she goes on her pre-purchased honeymoon. Sprinkle in civil unrest and an evil princess, you have the classic romance novel. I wish we got a little more backstory with each character. Even though they felt an instant connection, I didn’t feel that with our two main characters. I did however, feel the instance hated if Fyn’s parents and abigail towards Bridgette. The descriptions of their encounters were spot on. Ultimately, this This was a quick entertaining read that you will not want to put down.

Royally Complicated: (A Stand-alone Royal Forbidden Romance) (The Crowned Hearts Series Book 1)
So very thankful for long weekends, if today had been a work day I might have called in sick so I could finish devouring this book. I was hooked from the very beginning and only put it down long enough to make supper and eat.
Ms. McNamee and Ms. Anderson’s writing styles blend perfectly in this book. I have read several of their books individually and one other collaboration and have not been disappointed one.
I love trying to figure out what’s going to happen next but they were able to surprise me a few times.
Fyn and Bridget work so well together and even with all that they have to deal with, they find their way.
I already have the next book loaded on my Kindle to read and I can’t wait.

This was an amazing read. The development of the plot and the characters was wonderful. Gwyn does an amazing job of keeping the reader engaged.
This book follows the stories of Bridgets and Fyn. Bridget just wanted to get away from the reality of what happened back home with her ex. her best friend talks her into going on a girls’ trip to help her forget him and move on.
Fyn is tired of his parents meddling in his life and telling him what he can and cannot do all of the time. He just wanted a few hours of solace alone in his favorite place on the island. His own beach where he can enjoy a stress-free ride on the waves.
When Bridget gets fed up with her friend she wanders off with an old friend, a bottle of tequila. She finds her way to a beach that seems to be empty. When she notices a handsome man off in the distance riding the waves. Once he finally, emerges she is entranced by his features. One thing leads to another and they are getting very close and personal. Unfortunately, their intimate moment gets interrupted by the royal guard.
What happens when a commoner sleeps with the crowned prince? Can they be together or is this just a fling? Will the royal family approve of a woman with no noble blood? What happens when two souls are ripped apart?
Read this book to find out what happens with Fyn and Bridget. I also suggest some water because the steam in this book is sure to heat your blood.

I have followed this author through many stories and am pleased to find that this book is just as wonderful as the others I have read! Bridget is going through it right now. Her fiancé cheated, and now she’s on “their” honeymoon because who wouldn’t want to get away after an earth-shattering revelation like that? She finds a surfer, Fyn, who turns out to be a prince. Could this turn into a real-life fairytale, or is this just a simple rebound? I really enjoyed the flow of this story as I was sucked into this reality before I realized it. I sat down to read a couple chapters and looked up to find it was hours later! This has romance, drama, steamy scenes, and plenty of other emotions, so go ahead and pick it up to get lost for the day.

Bridget turns her non-refundable honeymoon into a girl’s trip with her best friend when she catches her fiancé cheating and calls off the wedding. Fueled by tequila, she has a romp on the sand with a stranger…only to find out that stranger is actually the Prince when the royal guard comes looking for him. Fast forward a year and the two are brought together again, determined to make a go at something permanent. However, Fyn has a country in turmoil, an over-bearing mother determined to marry him off to a royal, and the princess of a neighboring country who is determined to be the one to wear the crown. Can these two overcome the obstacles stand in their way? Or will Bridget and Fyn be a fairytale without a happy ending?
I really enjoyed these characters. There were moments that were hot and steamy, some that were tense and catty, and some that were just romantic as can be. It’s a modern telling of a fairytale where the prince and American commoner fall in love and are determined to make it work! I loved it!

After she caughter her fiance cheating, Bridget needed to get away and try to find herself again. After hearing some harsh truth from her bestie she takes off with a bottle of tequila and finds herself on a beach that is deserted and turns out to be private property. Her life is about to be turned upside down. Fynix, or as Bridget comes to know him at first, Fyn, is the crown prince of Lovolia. Upon their initial meeting he doesn’t tell her that as he figured she already knew that particular detail. Imagine his surprise when he realizes that she has absolutely no idea. He didn’t intend to lie, but in the heat of the moment he didn’t exactly get around to telling the truth. Once the royal guard showed up on behalf of his mother all bets were off and Bridget felt betrayed all over again. Now a year has passed and Bridget is back to say her good-bye to Fyn and move on with her life. Fyn on the other hand is showing up in hopes that he sees her again and this time he doesn’t intend to let her walk away. This is the true beginning of their forever. Royally Complicated was a quick and easy read. The characters were enjoyable as well. I liked the no nonsense approach that the best friend Daphne took with Bridget. We all need a friend like that in our lives. This is definitely a book that should be added to your collection. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This was a really fast paced steamy romance between a Prince and a normal girl. This is the story of Fyn and Bridget. The chemistry between Fyn and Bridget is off the charts and even though Fyn is a Prince that isn’t known by Bridget when they first meet. Fyn doesn’t have an easy life. As Prince of Lovolia his family is expecting him to marry someone to enhance their status and produce an heir. Fyn however has other ideas. He doesn’t want to marry someone just because of their status or what they can bring to the kingdom. When he meets Bridget he was expecting to meet her once and never again but when their paths cross and Bridget learns the truth of who he is then he has to fight for the right to be with the person he wants. Bridget is on what should have been her honeymoon but after finding out her husband to be was cheating she took the holiday with her best friend. When she meets a handsome man on the beach she wasn’t expecting anything to come of it. She definately didn’t expect to find out that he is a Prince.
As their connection grows they realise that their feelings are more that just one night thing but there are plenty of problems standing in their way. Mainly the Queen and King. Will they allow their son to be with a normal girl?
This is a fast paced romance and I love how determined Fyn is to fight of the woman he loves and how he will go against all odds to be with her. I really enjoyed this story. After all who doesn’t want to find their Prince. Especially one as hot as Prince Fyn. Fyn and Bridget are so perfect together. Their connection is steamy and off the chart chemistry but they also perfectly fit together and are made for each other. Their journey to be together is far from an easy one and the pair have to fight for the right to be together no matter who or what is against them.

This book is amazing. It grabs you from the start and the steam between the characters is off the charts. You will find yourself feeling all the emotions that the characters. It is the tale of the commoner and the prince. Can they have their love or will it be ruined by everything standing in their way? However, that isn’t everything there is about this book. There is steam, intrigue, mystery, suspense, steam, love, vengeance, and of course steam. This was a very quick read for me and is the first in the series. I am excited to read the second book to see what happens. You won’t be able to stop reading this book once you start so please keep that in mind when you begin. You will be swept away with the charm of the prince and the meet cute the they have on the beach. How they fall for each other without any preconceived notions, just plain simple attraction; is what really drew me into the book. It is very well written that you can’t really tell which author wrote what part. It is like they were sharing the same brain while writing this. It makes the reading seamless and flows from one page to the next. Reviewed by: @bbohls

What little girl didn’t grow up loving fairytales? This is definitely a mature version of one of those. I enjoyed this book, it had everything I enjoy most from a book. An excellent story, relateable characters, steamy scenes, and all the drama! I cannot wait to read more in this series. Bridget has been burned by past relationships, after being dealt the ultimate burn when she discovered her fiancé was cheating on her she goes on the trip that should have been her honeymoon with her best friend. Bridget has always played it safe in life but this time she throws caution to the wind and finds a connection and steamy sex with a complete stranger who just happens to be royal unbeknownst to her. Fynix is feeling the pressure of his role as a monarch and the pressure his parents have placed on him, he never expected the connection he finds with Bridget to change his life in the way it does.

I tried to love this book…unfortunately, I read the second book first, so I pretty much knew the entire plot before reading this one and it just took away the joy of reading the plot from me.
It’s the classic American meets a foreign prince and falls in love. There is an uproar, and all is overcome. She’s a loveable person so she wins everyone over eventually. Fyn and Bridget are likeable characters and have chemistry…. I just couldn’t get into the story. It was like watching a movie when the entire plot was revealed in the trailer.
*This does not mean I will not read another book by either author or them as collaborators; I just would have preferred to read this book first.

When Bridget finds out her fiancé is cheating on her, who else to take on your planned honeymoon but your bestfriend. Everyone needs a best friend like Bridget’s! Bridget makes her way to a deserted beach with a bottle of liquor and sees someone surfing. It’s just the two of them on the beach and they end up sharing an amazing together until dirt calls. Bridget leaves and doesn’t look back. 1 year later she decides to go back and get closure. Of course she ends up seeing Fyn again.
I felt bad for Bridget throughout the book. She was treated horribly by the King and Queen and some others. I couldn’t believe what happened or who was behind it. Just wow! Good 4* read

When Bridget finds her fiancee cheating the next logical move is to use the honeymoon trip with her best friend. After a little realization, Bridget grabs a cheap bottle of tequila and finds herself drinking on a private beach. Fynix the sexy surfer approaches the beach where Bridget is drinking. Little did Bridget know that her one-night stand on the beach would have been with a prince. Bridget can’t get Lovolian and its prince off her mind, even a year later.

You know the story. Girl meets prince, doesn’t know he’s a prince. They fall for each other. Complications happen. Although this book can be described that way, it is so much more. Although that probably sounds boring to most people. Unless you are one of those that love those type of stories. (me) But this story is well written, fast paced, and you must keep on reading to find out what happens next. There’s drama, romance, spice and everything you want from a book like this. I couldn’t wait to read the next in this series.

This was a great 5 star read. I was excited to finally get to read this book and I wasn’t disappointed. Bridget and Fyn were great characters and they gave us a great, steamy story that I didn’t want to put down until I was done. After she discovers her fiance is cheating on her, Bridget decides to still go on her honeymoon. Where she has a hot and steamy evening with Fyn. You could feel their connection coming off the pages. Time passes and she returns to discover who he really is and she decides to stay with him. Let’s just say things get very interesting for them. We get a heck of a story with several great characters that added a great element to the story. My emotions were all over the place. The authors did a great job with their writing and I look forward to reading more from them. If you’re looking for a great read. 1-click and get started today.

I am very familiar with Gwyn Mcnamee, who writes truly wonderful, fully fletched out, steamy romance novels, less familiar with the second author, Christy Anderson, here but after reading the premise thought this book sounded interesting. I’m so very glad that I did! I loved Royally Complicated and read it in about 2 days once I got into it. Fyn and Bridget were going through such a hard time in the beginning and continued to push through all the adversities in their way throughout the book, how cruel Abigail and the Queen were at first. They made sure to have lots of steamy encounters throughout as well. About 3/4 of the way through when what happened, happened to not the person I thought it was going to happen to my heart was in my throat, I was on the edge of my seat and truly wondered what was going to happen luckily we got a happily ever after ending. I can’t wait to jump both feet first into book two about Lev, as if Bridget would ever have run away with him, lol, and Daphne, her best friend.

I enjoyed Royally Complicated. I was drawn to this book because I love 1 of the 2 authors. I’m not overly familiar with the other, but that means I just have someone else’s work to look into. Any back to the book at hand. It was a great start to a new potential series. A story that involves a middle class American woman, who has been living her life safe and the crowned prince of Lovolia who feels he’s living in a gilded cage. What would these ever have in common, let alone what would bring them together? Bridget, a jilted bride, away on holiday(her honeymoon) with her best friend. Coasting through it miserably and unable to get out of her depressed funk, has some truths thrown at her she doesn’t want to hear. Causing her to run, but not without grabbing a bottle of cheap tequila to take with her. Not realizing her life is about to get turned upside down. Fynix is royally bogged down. He hates the constant parading of potential brides his parents keep bringing to him. The most recent one being the worst. He has to escape, what he never expected that escaped would be life altering. These authors present a strenuous, steamy, complicated, and wonderful story. The development of the main characters over time was wonderful, though I think they nailed the growth of some of the supporting characters beautifully. So now I ask you, is it worth the read? Well if you’re going by what I’d have to say, I’m going with absolutely. It’s not perfect but it was wonderful.

I love a fairy-tale romance that gives me sugar and spice and everything very nice with a bit of drama, forbidden romance, some spicy scenes, and a little bit of twist I did not see coming. this was a fantastic read that I loved every moment and I cannot wait to dive into the next book.
Every little girl dreams on marrying her own Prince Charming….little did Bridget know while on a girls vacation that she would meet her own prince without really knowing he was a true prince. Bridget is reeling on a past relationship that left her feeling unworthy as her ex-fiancee has other plans of being a cheater. Bridget ends up on a secluded part of the beach where she is vacationing and meets Fyn. Their instant connection ends up being the fun she needed…..
Fyn meets Bridget at the Royal Family private beach area, but after talking to her, he realizes that she does not know his true identity. The easy conversation between them turns into more…not to say when the guards come for him, Bridget finding out who he truly is. Fyn is drawn to Bridget for who she is and the spark they have that is truly undeniable.
When Fyn and Bridget try and make a go of their forbidden relationship, things turn bumpy for them along with violence that is happening in the county that Fyn loves dearly. With political scrutiny that his family is facing will Fyn be able to balance between his duty to his people and his love for Bridget?

I loved this book so much! I absolutely adore these authors and I was glued to this book from beginning to end. A wonderful writing duo that you have absolutely no idea who writes which parts because they complement each other’s writing styles so much. I loved Bridget – she was such a great character to read about and Prince Fynix was one of those characters you fall in love with instantly. I adore stories like this one when a royal falls in love with a normal down to earth person – definitely movie material this book! I loved all the twists and turns in the story and I was rooting for these two the whole way through the book! Fantastic book and I can’t wait for the next one!

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.
