I would like to thank Parker Swift, Forever Romance and Netgalley for giving me this book for my honest review. Review By Stephanie Parker has done it again!!! I loved books one and two in the Royal Scandal series so I was beyond excited when I saw book three on netgalley! They Royal series has been such am perfect series for me! Parker mixes the perfect elements in this series! It course has romance and plenty of steam, but it also has a great story line with in all the books in this series! In the Royal Treatment I was glued to my kindle and was able to devour this book. They drama and steam continues and Parker keeps it fresh! Some books can start getting stale as the series continues but not this one….I would totally take book ten from Parker! If you have not started the Royal Scandal Series yet stop what you are doing and go to amazon! |
ROYAL TREATMENT was like a snow ball rolling down the hill. It started out small but by the end I was completely caught up in the avalanche of emotions, laughing, crying and doing the happy dance right along side the characters. In the beginning, I was pretty leery. I though that both Dylan and Lydia where going down a really bad path to relationship disaster but in the end I loved it. BLAZING HOT chemistry! Sexy, sweet and fun! Get yourself a cool glass of tea and get ready to just enjoy! I'm really hoping Swift plans on continuing the side characters' stories!!! I received this copy of Royal Treatment from Forever (Grand Central Publishing). This is my honest and voluntary review.

Royal Treatment, Parker Swift Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews Genre: Romance, I loved the first two parts of this trilogy, a story with a domineering - but not in a bullying OTT way - British Duke and an American girl. She's focused on her career, bright, intelligent and it's so refreshing to read a heroine that's not afraid to stand up for herself. Not that she needs to with Dylan, as he's very proud of her work ethic, very supportive of her ambitions. They've both got demons in their backgrounds though and this book lets the effects of them on them both run free. I enjoyed the story, but felt after the dramas in the last two novels this was a little low key. It does a very good wrapping up of past events, finishing off odd little loose ends. I hate when a book finishes and I'm thinking - but hey, what about ....? I wasn't convinced by the MI6 story-line, I just cant be persuaded that a top intelligence agency would let a civilian get involved to that degree. Then for all that's it brought up through the book when it does happen it kind of is underwhelming...but that's my only minor gripe about this book. I love seeing things from alternating POV, lets me really get an insight into how the characters are feeling, what they really think. I loved Dylan's sister, and That was a surprise at the end ;-) Next book maybe? His mum, I liked her opposition to Lydia, it felt very real, and given how some of these Lineages continue for hundreds of years back that importance parents stress of having the "right" person to marry is genuine, and I'm sure still goes in in many circles. That said I didn't like that way things ended up between her and Lydia, just didn't feel to me as if that would have happened. This book takes the couple out of England to the US for part of the time and that worked really well, let Dylan see Lydia in her home setting. I loved meeting her dad's old freinds, they felt like Lydia's family. A huge, massive thank you too, for Parker for releasing these books close enough together that the story remains fresh in the readers mind. So often there's a year or more between parts and I've simply forgotten exactly what happened. we readers who love books consume huge amounts of them and when trilogies have a similar story-line - and many romance ones do - then its easy to muddle them, forget exactly which one(s) belong to which books. Having to keep checking back to earlier ones t see what happened takes away a lot of the magic. TBH my favourite way to read trilogies - and series - is to wait until all parts are released and have a total immersion, reading them back to back. That way I get the most from the story, feel the action and emotion as it happens. Stars: four, a terrific, fresh trilogy with some great characters and plots but that MI6 storyline brings it down a bit for me. ARC supplied for review purposes by Netgalley and Publishers |
Dylan sure spoils his woman, “let’s get you some lunch, then I’ll thank you properly,” he whispered..." Dylan is a passionate man, “doesn’t matter. Make something up. I love the way you shag me when you’re trying to get back at me for something.” I loved this book, I loved seeing how head over heels Dylan and Lydia were for each other. |

Good, great ending to the story of Dylan and Lydia, so glad everything worked out. Now I'm hoping for a book between Will and Emily. |
Royal Treatment jumps right into the narrative with nary a pinch of exposition. This can be an exciting switch, but it does not work here. Thin character development, an unlikeable hero, and an ungracious heroine, does not make for interesting reading. The plot is thin and if there was a conflict I was hard pressed to find it, as I lost interest early in the first act. What Royal Treatment has going for it are it's romps in the sheets, against walls, etc. But even here the dialogue is stilted and the action forced. It seems like the author strung some sentences together to make the sex scenes possible, and even they are uninteresting. Disappointing misstep. |
