Royal Treatment by Tracy Wolff is Book Two in the His Royal Hotness series. This is the story of Lola and Garrett. I have read the previous book and feel this can be a standalone book if you choose to do so.
Garrett is a Crown Prince of Wildemar but was kidnapped and torchered for 8 months. Of course this changed Garrett and now his family is unsure of him and his mindset. Garrett is on his own other than his security team when he happens to meet Lola. Lola too has had such a great start to her life but is working toward her goal of her career and business which is what has brought her to the area. I really enjoyed reading how these two came together. I was rooting for Garrett after his treatment and I wanted Lola to find happiness too.

Prince Garrett, His Royal Hotness, was the crown prince. After he was kidnapped, he had time on his hands to get his mind right, so his father the king thinks. But all Garrett wants to do is forget what happened and move on with his life.

Lola is an American girl who owns her own multimillion-dollar internet vintage clothing company. She meets Garrett one day while he is swimming and when she acts like she doesn't know who he is, he seems to be relieved. But everyone knows who Garrett and his twin brother are.

While Lola tells it like it is and Garrett is proper in every way, they do not seem to be the couple kind of people. But after one date, the people of Wildemar are thrilled Garrett has found such a string woman. So the PR people at the palace wants to use the couple idea to help Garrett get his crown prince status back.

So now while Garrett and Lola are playing the couple, will their feelings for each other grow stronger? Can Lola play the part without losing her heart? Will Garrett finally lose his cool and release all the pain of his kidnapping, so he can finally heal?

I loved the first book, but Garrett and Lola stole my heart. The way he fought to keep his pain hidden and wanting to get his status back until he realized that wasn't all that mattered in life. It was the perfect way to get his life back on track. And Kian will always be Kian, the fun loving second brother.

If you love a great royal romance with a twist, this one is more about the prince than the Cinderella story, then this series is for you. I loved both stories and would even love more. And if you haven't read anything from Tracy Wolff yet you should and pick anything from her, you will not be disappointed.

This is the second book in the series (I would love there to be more) and I would recommend that you read them in order. Royal Pain introduced us to younger twin Kian, who has been the playboy of the duo. He suddenly had to step up when his brother, Garrett, is kidnapped, which was not the easiest transition. Now we get to read Garrett's story on his return to the kingdom.

I really enjoyed this book – it had the requisite fairy tale elements but was most definitely not shying away with the difficult times that Garrett is having returning to normal life. His father, the king, has severely undermined his self-respect as he has insisted that Kian remains the crown prince, inferring that Garrett is incompetent. After the strength he showed under torture, this is just destroying him. A distraction in the form of a beautiful, wily, and funny woman called Lola might just be the answer in more ways than one.

Watching Garrett and Lola dance the dance, even under the circumstances that they have agreed to, and as they realise how much they care about each other is a mixture of sexy, fun, and also frustrating. Add in the fallout from the abduction, and we get a very engaging story of two seemingly very different people, who actually have a lot more in common than you would imagine.

Thank you, Ms. Wolff, for a fresh perspective on royal romances.

I will not restate the plot nor reveal any spoilers in this review.
I have read 1000s of books and have a small handful that I call my favorites and ROYAL TREATMENT BY Tracy Wolff has just become part of my elite reading! This status is reserved for books that I will read again when I need a forever love story to pick up my spirits. This story is laugh out loud funny and wonderfully romantic. But above all, this story pulls the heartstrings. I wept as the book approached its conclusion because the characters were so real. The hurt, pain and anger expressed by Garrett was written so powerfully that I felt his despair. Lola is quirky and funny but, most importantly, understanding of the emotional upheaval that the prince experienced. There are many outside influences that prey on this couple but through it all, love overcomes them and makes the two stronger.
This is the first book I have read by Tracy Wolff but she has become one of my favorite authors. Read ROYAL TREATMENT for a wonderfully written romance with heart!

Royal Treatment is the second in the His Royal Hotness (insert slight snicker) series, but was still easily able to be read as a standalone. I do think I might have gotten a little more out of the story with a little of the background if I'd read the first book, but I still LOVED the story and it's NOT a requirement by any means.

Okay, the fact that the hero of the story is a Prince notwithstanding, I loved how Garrett and Lola were "real" people. Lola is a confident, independent woman who runs a successful business and doesn't take $hit from anyone. She's the perfect foil for a handsome, arrogant prince like Garrett. Meanwhile, despite being a royal prince, Garrett is dealing with demons of his own that manifest themselves as PTSD. I liked how the story didn't gloss over what he was dealing with and showed how much something like that can affect someone.

I'll definitely be checking out the first book in the series and other books by Wolff.

I am genuinely bummed I didn't read Royal Pain first but don't worry. The heir and the spare gave me a pass as long as I catch up. So without further delay...

Royal Treatment!!!

Talk about a tough act to follow, it seems Ex-Crown Prince Garrett is living it up while hiding in the shadows. Living it up isn't actually the way I'd describe it, hiding definitely is. Hiding from his dad, the ridiculous pressure, and his own hateful thoughts. Surviving isn't easy.
Surviving when you lost friends is terrible but the icing on the cake is definitely being blamed for being abducted and subsequently the deaths of your friends.

Garrett isn't sharing his thoughts or feelings. He's hiding from it all. Until a striking red head messes up his plans...

Now he's just trying not to look like a love sick puppy! And it looks real good on him! Gorgeous Garrett has met his match. Now let's hope he can keep her...

Despite some dark flashbacks, this book is the makings of a fairytale. It's just missing woodland creatures, a wicked witch (okay, well they have that covered), and a wedding. Or is it!?!

Royal Treatment is a feel good sweet story with chemistry and a perfect read for my rainy day.

Wow Exceptional! I loved this book.

Garrett since very young has been groomed to sit on the throne of Wildemar. Unfortunately now his Dad the King does not feel he's fit to be on the throne ever since he got kidnapped and torture. Now that his twin brother Kian has taking over for the time being. Garrett has decided to deal with the loss of not being next on the throne and the painful memories of being kidnapped by hooking up with random woman. In this journey one woman does capture his attention. With Lola he feels this connection he can't quite understand. He feels comfortable and safe around her. However during his encounter with Lola Barnes the news media has got wind of the Royal Hotness new interest.

When the tides turn!!! Love might happen?

Once upon a time Prince Garrett was being groomed to sit on the throne of Wildemar. Now He he is lucky they let him into the palace through the front door. After he was kidnapped and tortured by extremists, his reward from his father upon his release is that nobody trusts him enough to let him be king. And since my twin brother, Kian, has assumed all my responsibilities, I figure why not take over as the black sheep? But, here’s the issue he loves his country and wants nothing more than to serve his people like he’s always planned to do. He’s stuck so when American Lola comes barreling into his peaceful afternoon demanding entrance to swim at a public park Garrett finds himself intrigued.

These two are going to head down an emotional rollercoaster ride together.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Such a rough life for a royal prince who now has nothing but time on his hands. But reality is that he wants more and he wants to be the crown prince again! So Garrett sets out to make that happen. And then Lola happens. She’s not what he should want for a princess but she is just so hard to ignore.

And once the media finds out about them – who would have thought a photo would be taken of them in a little out of the way town – they become the topic of discussion everywhere they go! A little plotting with Lola to be his pretend girlfriend so he can regain the crown becomes so much more.

Fun, entertaining, and a magnificent tale of modern day royalty romance! Everyone has to love it, it is THAT good!

Garrett was raised and groomed to be king and nothing else. It is all he has ever known. Then he is abducted for three months. When he is rescued his father tells him he can’t become king. While trying to seem fine and figure out what to do with himself now that he isn’t going to be king he meets Lola. She is everything he needs even if they both don’t realize it. He is dealing with not being in line to be king and his abduction and she is dealing with her father never wanting her. It is a beautiful love story how they both compliment each other and are there for each other like no one has been or can be. Is it enough though? Is she enough or would wanting to be King destroy it all? I guess you will have to read to find out.

Royal Treatment by Tracy Wolff
His Royal Hotness

Who will win in Garrett vs. Lola?

Gorgeous Prince Garrett AKA His Royal Hotness just wants to be the crown prince again and not having people to treat him like breakable glass after his three months in captivity after being rescued from anti-monarchist kidnappers. When a woman interrupts his swim in a lake, he becomes very interested in her since she knows who he is and treats him as a normal person.

Lola Barnes is in Wildemar for estate auctions buying more items for her vintage clothing store, when she runs across Prince Garrett swimming in a lake. They are both attracted to each other but she knows that being the daughter of a Las Vegas showgirl will prevent anything.

Royal Treatment is the second book in the His Royal Hotness series.

Garrett is/was the Crown Prince of Wildemar. Garrett was next in line for the throne, for his father the King has groomed him from day one that Kian –his own twin is not King material. Then things changed when Garrett was kidnapped and held hostage for over 8 months and endured a hellish sort of torture by his kidnappers. Kian has replaced Garrett and is doing his father, the king’s bidding and is helping to run things and doing a horrible job at it. Garrett has been shunned, deemed unworthy, and unstable; Most certainly not worth his father's trouble. It is clear that no one really knows the horrible torture that Garrett went thru..he is a man with no friends and it seems, really no family giving him support. The only thing he has is his security team. One day while out swimming Garrett sees this sassy and beautiful red head who is giving one of his security men grief because he won’t let her swim in the public lake. Garrett ends up trying to help and all that does is draw the red head’s anger on him. Yet Garrett and Lola were able to move past that initial dust up and they had this great chemistry flowing between them. Lola is there buying vintage clothing for her business back in the states. Her past is full of some heartbreak as her mom was a dancer in Las Vegas and her father was this bigwig businessman who hit the road when he found out her mom was pregnant. Lola doesn't have time to let herself think about the past, she is too busy running her business and trying to make her business great. Only she is on the cusp of this grand romance with the Crown Prince of Wildemar…or is she? There is intrigue, some suspense, passion and a beautiful romance between two people who are messed up yet make tons of sense being together.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *****

I definitely struggled a lot with this book. I ended up trudgingly finishing it, although I have to admit I skipped parts. I also enjoyed the writing quite a bit, but I just could not connect to the forsaken prince and his attitude which seemed too arrogant but also too closed up. This could have been quite a delightful read, and I do like the plot, it just wasn't for me.

Tracy never disappoints. The story of memory versus present is a constant struggle. You are mad, had, sad, and frustrated all at once.

Prince Garrett's story continues as he works to come to terms with being the spare prince after living through being tortured at the hands of his kidnappers. His father the King no longer believes Garrett is the son for the throne. So now that Garrett is not to be king, he decides to give the playboy lifestyle his brother Kian loved so much a try. That's when he meets Lola and his world is once again turned upside down!

This is the second and final book in the series and while you could read this one and follow along as a standalone, I recommend you read the first book to get the full backstory. Both books are very well done and I highly recommend them both.

Entrepreneur, a woman making her own way in the world and someone who isn’t cowed by a crown, Lola is free spirited and strong…and she makes for the perfect companion to Garrett, the tortured prince.

Lots of great relationship ins and outs while dealing with the paparazzi, a kingdom and royal family.

Surviving insurmountable odds, this story could be called an epic romance. Heartfelt, and enthralling.

This is book 2 in the His Royal Hotness series, you have to read book 1 in order to understand what has and is happening to the main character in this book. This one is about Prince Garrett who was kidnapped in the first book and Lola Barnes. Garrett is struggling with the new realities of his life after his kidnapping and torture. Not only has he been told he won't be the king , even though that is what he was groomed for since birth and all he knows, but he is also struggling with how everything affected him on a more personal level. Lola is a business woman who doesn't take anything from anyone. And it's refreshing to him to be treated as a man instead of royalty. But then one kiss changes everything for the both of them. Far beyond what either had planned for their lives.

I really loved this book. Garrett is of course struggling and who wouldn't after everything that was done to him. Even though he knows his brother loves him, his brother now has the place that he was always supposed to have. The place that he lived his whole life for and gave up his dreams for. And he feel's like there is nothing left for him now that his father (jerk) has taken it away. Lola, I LOVE her! She doesn't care about titles and doesn't let anything stand in her way. Yes, she has her own issues and vulnerabilities but they just make her an even more lovable character! You would never in a million years think that they would work together but they are perfect for each other in every way. It has nothing to do with families, titles, or money and everything to do with the people they truly are and it's a beautiful thing! And him standing up for the person he loves more than anything? Epic! I loved it! Sad to see it end. Maybe the author can swing some stories in about the guards and other secondary characters we saw in these books. That would be awesome!

YAY!!!! I'm so happy that Garrett got his HEA!!!!!

Garrett is/was the Crown Prince of Wildemar. That is until he was kidnapped and tortured both mentally and physically for three months. Now that he's returned to Wildemar, it seems as though dear 'ol dad doesn't feel as though Garrett is capable of leading Wildemar, striping him of his title. Now? Now his twin brother is "acting" Crown Prince while he's trying to come to terms with the fact that everything he's been raised to be, is for nothing.

Lola is a little....daring. That is, she likes to put up a good front. She's responsible for a multi-million dollar vintage business and won't let anything stand in her way. But while she's scoping out an auction in Wildemar, she finds herself scoping out Garrett. Until she's the one who's actually been scoped....but the paparazzi. Now everything has changed and she's front row center for quite a ride.

I loved these two together. I loved how Lola "got" Garrett. She understood not only who he was as a man, but what the last few months has actually cost him. Garrett is attentive to Lola and her needs, even when Lola may not be. The last few chapters in this book got me though. It definitely left me with ALL THE FEELS!!!

Sweet and steamy romance between a royal prince and an American entrepreneur. The characters are delightful and the romance between them are light, sweet and deep all at once. It was hard to put it down once started. Highly recommended.

I hadn't read book one (but thought I had) so I was a little confused at first. That said, I still really enjoyed this book. The characters were amazing, and I felt that the author dealt with trauma very well.
