Wolff writes engaging characters. Kian and Savvy are perfect examples of her dexterity in creating characters with heart, ones we can admire and cheer on to happiness.

This book is a quick read, with instalove and and an abrupt ending (which led to 4 stars). I would have loved to see this fleshed out a little more because the characters were so great, and a little bit more of a finale' at the end. I want to know what happens to Garrett, so hopefully that will come next!

Tracy Wolff has become a must read author.

I love this author's work in pretty much every other story I've ever read and so I and going to say this just was not for me. I couldn't get past the first bit of this story to even read the remainder of the book. I will continue to read books by this author, this just wasn't for me.

Wow. Kian the playboy prince had to learn quick how to step into his brother's shoes quickly. His twin brother was kidnapped. He ran into a breath taking Savvy and fell for her even though his brother had been dating her years ago.

Royal Pain, A His Royal Hotness Novel, Tracy Wolff

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance, 

I love Tracey's novels so was really pleased to see a new one coming out. Sadly though this wasn't a great fit for me.

I liked it, its well written and has lots of Tracey's added details that make her writing so addictive but I just felt that the sex overtook the story this time.
I love sex in a story and of course Tracey writes that so well, but I want it to be a supporting part and here I felt it took the lead, edged out what was actually happening with the characters. there was so much other things happening, of such importance but somehow all I can really recall writing this the day after reading it is the sex....

I felt, especially given her history, that Savvy was very quick to jump into bed with Kian, she held off from any kind of relationship for a bit, which felt right, and then wham, one kiss and they're hot and heavy.
As much as he enjoyed it at the time the term playboy prince fitted Kian, and now he wants more with Savvy he can't be surprised that she doubts his intentions. Add on that she's already been left by others, and she doesn't want to play second, third, fourth place in his life after other people call on his attentions.
I can see that, agree with it, but given they've only just got together, haven't in fact had so much as a date yet it seems a bit soon to be setting out conditions.

Somehow it stayed just in the "Good" side of the ratings for me, and I'd expected it to be a "Great" read. Its not one I'd reread, even though I liked both characters.
I felt there was so much packed into a relatively short read (just over 3000 kindle locations - around 200 -220 kindle pages I'd guess) that nothing really got explored in any depth, and they went from flirty sparring conversations which I loved, to full on lovers in the blink of an eye. No dates, not even out for a coffee...
I expected a bit more too of the past to creep in, that's certainly a bit of an eye opener and could have caused issues, but it didn't.
Goodreads describes this as book one, so I wasn't sure if there was more to come from Kian and Savvy, or whether book two would be Garret's story. More of this story could fill in some of the blanks I found, the gaps that felt wrong to me and explain why i feel there's a lot left sort of open but then I found book two IS Garret's story.
Will I read it? Yes, like I said usually Tracey's stories are a hit for me, steamy and sensual with cracking backstories so I'm hoping this was just a one off one that wasn't the best for me. 

Stars: Three, a good story but for me not a great one.

Kian has always been the spare heir to the crown until a tragedy unfolds. His brother Garrett, the Crown Prince has been kidnapped. Trying to find out what happened to his brother and assume his royal duties he has to deal with all the matchmaking mothers that are eager to introduced their daughters. Savvy sees him struggling and comes to the rescue. She is captivated by Kian and knows many might see her a crown chaser. The soul shattering looks he gives her remind her she will follow him anywhere. Kian has tired of his playboy past and realizes his brother was always right there would be a time when his past would come to haunt him. Can Savvy and Kian look past what happened before they met so they can step into the future together? Absolutely loved the chemistry between both characters. Tracy Wolf draws her reader in a beautifully crafted tale. I received an advance copy for an honest review and I absolutely could not put it down.

Kian just lets his girl know how he feels, “if I had my way, we’d be in your bedroom right now, and I’d be buried balls deep inside you while you screamed my name. So please, don’t apologize.” Savvy is one sassy woman, and Kian likes to make sure she stays happy:
“Actually, I was looking at your V-cut and thinking about how much I really want to lick it. But your abs are nice, too.”
His eyes go that crazy shade of neon that gets me every time. “I can probably free up some room in my schedule if you want to make that fantasy a reality. I mean, if it means that much to you, far be it from me to deny you.”
I really enjoyed this book.
