A Surprise Pregnancy Romance with a Royal Twist, from the New York Times Bestselling author of A Nordic King and My Life in Shambles. Every family has a black sheep – even the royal ones.In the royal family of Denmark, that black sheep is me. To the public I’m known as Princess Stella, but I feel anything but royal. As a single mom, divorcee, social outcast, and forever forgotten about under the … forgotten about under the magnetism and power of my older brother, King Aksel, I’m used to being an outlier. Though it doesn’t matter when my whip-smart nine-year old daughter, Anya, is my whole world anyway.
Then that world of mine gets turned upside down.
I meet Prince Orlando of Monaco, whom the media has dubbed “The Royal Rogue” for many good reasons. I can’t stand that arrogant smirk on his face, the lewd words that leave his lips – pretty much everything about him. I especially can’t stand how infuriatingly sexy he is and how he manages to get under my skin like no one else.
It’s been a long time since a man could make me feel that way, so you can’t really blame me for throwing my willpower out the window and succumbing to a brief but torrid affair with him, full of hot, dirty sex and nothing else.
Until that nothing else turns into something more, in the form of a big surprise.
I thought I got that wicked royal rogue out of my system but there’s a link between us now that neither of us can ignore.
A baby.
The Royal Rogue is the 4th book in the Nordic Royals series but, like the other books in the series, can be read as a complete standalone This book contains a lot of sex and swearing, reader discretion is advised**

Karina Halle does it again! I cannot get ENOUGH of this series! Read The Royal Rogue NOW.
Princess Stella of Denmark is a divorcee’ and a single mom. She usually stays out of the spotlight and only gets involved when her brother, King Aksel is away. Unfortunately, she ends up having to host the eccentric royal family of Monaco at the palace, and she soon finds herself in over her head. Not only are the royals quite animated and attention-seeking, but the oldest son, Prince Orlando is hot, sexy, and flirtatious as hell. He is nicknamed The Royal Rogue for a reason.
They go from verbally sparring to fast and dirty talk and sexy times during his visit, which leaves them with a little dividend. Stella is in a bad position as an unmarried royal. Orlando has already made promises to another that he feels obligated to keep. It’s messy, complicated, angsty, and heartbreaking.
Even though I really liked Orlando, his choices frustrated me at times. He wanted to do the best for everyone, but it was impossible to make everyone happy. Promises, choices, sacrifice can be good or bad. I loved Stella. She came off as quiet and reserved at first, but she could also be pushed out of her comfort zone and was stronger than she thought. They had great banter, chemistry, humor, and an undeniable connection.
This book is witty, sexy, angsty, and swoony. It is a journey for them to find their own self worth in spite of their public images and find purpose and fulfillment. Basically either choose happiness or live in the safety of expectations and rules.
This one is full of all kinds of family dynamics. I enjoyed more with Denmark royals Aksel, Aurora, their kids, and Stella’s daughter, Anya. There are also some other fun cameos. And the Monaco family was quite entertaining. I would not mind seeing books for his twin siblings, Mathilde and Francis (even though Francis seems to have his life pretty well figured out). Anyway, I loved jumping back into this royal world.
What to say? I really enjoyed this book and it was a quick read.
The Royal Rogue is funny and sassy. It’s hot and it has some drama and twists.
And we get to meet Snarf Snarf again!
