You MUST read Cheeky Royal first. Cheeky King takes up right where the wait, what, now?! ending of Cheeky Royal. Sebastian is now King after his father’s unexpected passing. Penny is battling a myriad of emotions having returned to her official position as Royal Guard. Her feelings for Sebastian are gearing her apart. Sebastian’s is dealing with danger, nefarious plots, and his relentless desire for Penny. Tradition dictates they can’t be together, but rules are definitely made to be broken. I enjoyed Penny and Sebastian’s story from start to finish. I hope Ariel gets her own story. A thoroughly delightful book.

I couldn’t wait to see how the story continues in the 2nd book. Let’s just say I was in my “feelings”. I laughed and even got mad at some parts. No spoilers, readers should stick around for this book. I will look forward to stories from characters as well (i.e. Lucas and Ariel just to name a few).

This books starts where Cheeky Royal left off. Sebastian and Penelope are back and their chemistry is still hotter than any there ever was. Now as Sebastian navigates his new life as King, he must reconcile his feelings about Penny and all that happened when they both were lying about who they are. The suspense continues as there is a murderer in their midst and Sebastian is still in danger. Drama, betrayal, humor, love and more. Great book full of all the things.

Great ending to this duet story, I loved these books, the audiobooks where fantastic. Definitely will recommend them. Sebastian and Penny’s story continues, he is now King and their relationship seems impossible, the death of the King is not what it seems so get ready for some intrigue, romance, steamy scenes, and forbidden love.

This is the follow on to Cheeky Royal, and it’s fantastic. Whereas Cheeky Royal was more about the couple, Sebastian and Penelope, hiding who they truly were and falling for each other, Cheeky King is them trying to stay away from each other, Penelope is trying to do her job and protect the king, but Sebastian isn’t making it easy, his hurt is evident, and he lashes out at every turn. But neither of them can resist their chemistry and the sexual tension. Add in the suspense and the whodunit feel and it makes for a truly addictive story. It still had laugh out loud moments and the grovelling was done to perfection. You’ll note from my review of Cheeky Royal that I wanted a book for a certain couple, and now know why that won’t be happening. I was both saddened and happy about it. I still vote for a Michael story.
Andi Arndt and Shane East perform this book and do a fabulous job. The issues I had with Cheeky Royal still existed, but I think I became accustomed to it as it didn’t feel as noticeable or jarring. Which is always a bonus. Shane and Andi really do work so well together.

Sebastian is struggling with the loss of his father and becoming king. He still can not believe that everything that happened in New York was all a lie. His biggest problem is that he can not get Penny out of his head even though he believes that he can not have her. Penny is uneasy being back home with everyone staring at her because of the great job that she did protect the prince in New York. Once being told she is being put on the king’s personal guard, she is determined to do her job and keep her feelings for the cocky king under wraps.
Cheeky King is the laugh out loud, the edge of your seat ending to Sebastian and Penny’s story. Nana Malone keeps you glued to the pages trying to figure out what happened all while laughing at the banter between Sebastian and Penny as it and their sexual tension ramps up. Sebastian and Penny’s enemies to lovers second chance romance comes to a perfect ending.
Another amazing narration by both Shane East and Andi Arndt. These two are for sure in my favourite narrators’ list.

Of course I had to jump right into book two. I was surprised by one or two of the revelations, but overall liked that the angst was not drawn out for too long. I am a bit sad that we never got to meed the sister and that Lucas will always be missing a piece of himself, but it was a great lesson on the meaning of family and loyalty.

I can’t get enough of Sebastian and Penny!
Cheeky King picked right up where Cheeky Royal left off and now we have the conclusion of this royal love story.
Sebastian and Penny both made mistakes but they each still want the other. Their chemistry is off the charts anytime they are near each other. If they can each forgive the other then they will have a chance at their happily ever after.
It is not all smooth sailing since there a a few who are doing whatever is needed to bring down the King and put who they think is the rightful heir to the crown on top.

Book one and two could have been written in one good book. There were a lot of details too drug out but important ones skipped over, others were just confusing. The title din’t fit either.
I will not pick up more of her books.

When Hope Seems Lost Love Finds Away
This book series is so good. I just loved every bit of it. Cheeky King was just as good as, if not better than, the first book. I adore all the characters in these books and hope that Mrs. Malone decides to write some more books to tell their stories too, especially Lucas and Ariel’s.
In Cheeky King Sebastian and Penny return home to become the people they never expected to be. Sebastian fought so hard to escape his fate before but now he finally realizes that maybe there is no one better to take the throne than him. That no one will love his country and take care of it’s people as well as his father, except for him.
Penny has never been seen as anything but the “screw up” by a lot of fellow guard members but now that’s all changed. When news of what happened on Penny’s mission gets spread around the others start to look at her and treat her differently. It’s a very unfamiliar and almost awkward feeling to Penny and takes a lot of getting use to.
The relationship between Penny and Sebastian is strained. The two have a lot to talk about and work out but both are so stubborn. Neither one of them willing to be the one to step forward and initiate the conversation. Before they know it danger is knocking at the door again. Will they be able to apprehend the bad guys, have their long awaited heart to heart and find a way to be together? Or will this be the end for them?

As I said about the previous book, loved this couple! So glad I didn’t know that Royals Undercover Book 1 had a cliffhanger because I may have missed out on this awesome couple due to my general intolerance for cliffhangers, and that would have really sucked because I enjoyed this book SO much! I love love LOVE Penny, so adorably awkward! After meeting her in the first book, I IMMEDIATELY purchased this one the second I got to the end of the first part of their story. I’m so glad we get Lucas’s story next! I might have gotten a tiny crush on him while he was helping Penny… I might have secretly hoped him and Ariel would hook up… but so long as he gets a deserving woman I guess I’ll live lol. I hope the author has plans for Ariel down the road too, even if we only hear about it in passing. She’s a trip!

I bloody adored “Cheeky King”.
I clicked and connected more with this instalment than I did with the previous one, which I also enjoyed immensely.
This surprised me considering how hot and cold this pair run.
In fact, I felt that first Sebastion spat his dummy out and basically threw a royal brat tantrum and when he seemed to eventually stop fighting the inevitable it was basically Penny’s turn to have a pop.
This pair were actually exhausting to keep pace with at times so up and down were their moods.
But despite there bi-polar antics I really did enjoy the hell out of this couple.
They had insane chemistry and I got to admit I do have an old soft spot for royalty romance it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.
“Cheeky King” was such an easy read, with plenty of action as well as romance occurring throughout.
It was told in dual POV and delivered on all fronts.
An intensely satisfying light romantic read that I really enjoyed and am happy to recommend.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of “Cheeky King (Royals Undercover, #2)” of which I have reviewed voluntary.
