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.

Sooo I just had to pick up this book because I love the author Gwyn McNamee and was curious to see how author Christy Anderson works with her (it’s my first time reading any book by her). 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

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 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…
Thank you, Gwyn McNamee and Christy Anderson!

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.

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.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT SHOWCASE ( ＾◡＾)っ
Sex on the beach with a smoking hot stranger…
I blame the tequila.
And the way he rode the waves like he owned them.
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 McNameeGwyn 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).
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.
