From USA Today bestselling author KL Donn comes the all new Uncontrolled Heroes series where the heroes took over and decided they all get a little lovin’.
Beckett Larrabee was always the quiet sibling. He watched the world around him while his brother took over the world, or their slice of Long Beach anyway. He liked fixing bikes, riding along the Pacific Coast Highway and watching the sun set … Coast Highway and watching the sun set off a pier on the beach.
When he catches a glimpse of a girl dancing in the sand, a bright tutu around her waist, he becomes transfixed. Obsessed. Determined to find out her name, he follows her.
Royal Sullivan has a stalker on a motorbike. Big, tattooed, and handsome, she shouldn’t be feeling anything for him but scared. Except…he makes her heart pound rapidly in her chest.
He makes her forget she’s ruined.
Beckett is addicted.
Royal is intrigued.
All that’s left is to love the girl in the tutu, but is there a future once Royal’s tragic past is revealed?
Falling in love isn’t always planned and when you least expect it, your heart decides for you. Come on over to Long Beach, California to find out who falls in love, who gets naughty on the beach and if family truly is everything.

This book is what I would expect from KL Donn. Wow what an emotional read. This is definitely a 5 + star book. This book is about Royal and Beckett. Beckett sees Royal dancing on the beach and has to have her. He becomes her Champion and her everything. I absolutely loved this book. Now, how soon can we get Braxton’s book?? Like next week right?
This is Beck’s story. He’s sees a woman dancing on the beach and he’s hooked. He wants want Cade and Jace have found. Braxton was an integral part of this story, he made it happen for Royal and Beck. I loved the sweet moments that Beck set up, especially their first ice cream session. Royal became a warrior for herself and her sister. This story makes my heart melt and I’m certain it will melt yours too.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
I am slayed! I was not expecting the emotional rollercoaster ride I just embarked on. Royal and Beckett hit me like waves crashing into the beach, over and over again. This story was unexpected and beautiful, and the love between sisters in this book took me by surprise. Royal is this selfless human that has a huge heart, she had no choice to be selfless her whole life, but given the choice would still do anything for the ones she loves. And Beckett was straight fire and went after what he wanted letting nothing and no one get in his way, all the while showing Royal the amazing things life can offer and what she means to the world. This was also super steamy and if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Can’t wait for what KL Donn gives us next
Loving the Girl in the Tutu by KL Donn has left me speechless. Ms Donn not only writes amazing tales of instalove, she does it while giving you all the feels (even some you weren’t aware existed). I felt Royal’s pain and anguish through every turn of the page. Her purpose in life (if you could call what she was doing living) was outrageous and appalling. Yet somehow, after meeting the intense, uber-alpha Beckett, that purpose shifted to something beautiful. I truly don’t know how this author comes up with such unique, awe inspiring stories. But if not knowing means she keeps writing, I’ll gladly stay in the dark.
I received this book in advance for a voluntary honest review. L-O-V-E-D it! Book 3 in the Uncontrolled Heroes series. While it can be read by itself, I highly recommend reading the first 2 books (A Girl Worth Fighting For and The Girl Who Was meant to Be Mine). The girl in the tutu is Royal, a young woman whose life has never been her own and she has never been loved as a daughter. Beckett envies his brother and best friend’s happily ever afters. At his favorite spot, a pier, he spots a girl in a tutu and instantly knows she is his happily ever after. Getting close to Royal is no challenge for Beck and together they discover a connection and love they never imagined. This story is romantic, tragic, emotional and steamy. So good!
I……..I………I, okay just give me a minute. *takes a deep breath, wipes tears from my face, because yeah, you are going to need tissues. Not gonna lie!
Holy shit!!!! Why can I not give more than five stars?!! I have mentioned before that there should be a golden button!! I need a golden button, damn it!!! *stamps foot!
Any who, I digress!! This book had had me through every gamut of emotion. Beck spots Royal dancing on the beach and keeps returning to see her. The draw he feels to her is inexplicable but he feels it to his very soul and damn, it’s so beautiful. He has also made quite the impression on Royal but can circumstances out of her control stop things before they even start?
Nothing prepared me for that when it was revealed. My heart literally split in two but Beck is determined. Jesus, my heart!!!
This book pretty much took everything from me but this author gives it back in spades.I
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
My heart was torn in two and then put back together. This is more than just an uncontrolled love between Beckett and Royal; it’s also about the love of two sisters and the family and support they have. I cried and I smiled and I laughed and I cried some more. I can’t even express right now what this book did to me but it will stay with me forever.
Absolutely loved, loved,loved this book. Make sure you have your tissues handy before you start, because you will definitely need them! As always, KL Donn brings a story packed with so many emotions, you get sucked in from the very beginning.
Wow, this story had so many layers. It wasn’t just about two people falling in love. It was about a family coming together for the right reasons. It was about living your best life. It was about going after the things you want and love, to never settle.
Royal has been what has kept her family “together” all her life. When she finally meets Beckett, she realizes there is more to life.
Beckett will do anything to make Royal happy. He knew he could give her a life that she never knew existed, until they met.
Can’t wait for more! A story about Braxton, perhaps?
Three words, Heart Breaking Emotional.
OMG I cried so much reading this story, it’s written with so much compassion and love. Beckett and Royal a true love story but oh god have a box of tissues you will need them. KL Donn what a book well done you did this story so well. 5 STARS
All the feels in this one
I purchased this book and am leaving my review voluntarily. It is book 3 in a trio and features characters from previous books, although each book has a different main couple.
Trigger:

Beckett, the quiet brother of Cade (b1) he likes working on motorcycles and riding them. when he see’s a girl dancing at the beach he becomes fascinated with her
Royal, has a sad past. She is aware of a guy on a motorcycle who seems to watch her.
Finally they meet in person and sparks fly. Insta lust. Family drama. It’s a fast moving story. Grab your tissues. There is a HEA.
Emotional Insta-love story
This book was wonderful written and an amazing story. Have your tissues ready because you’ll need them. This emotional insta-love will keep you on your toes.
Book 3 in the Uncontrolled Heroes series and it was an amazing read. Be prepared to be sucked in from page one. Loved the romance between Royal and Beckett. From the first moment that he saw her, Beckett knew that Royal was the one for him. They were complex characters that were good apart but breathtakingly beautiful together. Loved this story and can’t wait to read more from this author. She knows how to create characters and worlds that will suck you in and not let go and to be honest, you won’t want to leave.
Oh my! I don’t even know what to say about this story. Royal is just perfect and Beckett is so loving. There are a couple surprises (they seemed like them to me) I love these broken women that need a strong man to put them back together the KL writes about. I love the story building in this book. Do yourself a favor and grab this book.
Holy hot read which through in all the feels and stole my heart while I was reading! Royal and Beckett’s story while it comes together crazy quick the author did a great job providing the correct amount of background and details to get the reader completely invested in their story.
This book truly gutted me at certain points!!! Even though I was gutted I thoroughly enjoyed it because K.L. Donn put stitched me back together.
Being a really quick read made everything seem very fast paced and it was but it really worked.
Beckett Larrabee works with his brother, Cade, and Jace, family friend, doing specialty paint jobs. He is at the point in his life that he wants what Cade and Jace have. He may have found that but they only problem is he doesn’t know the girls name. Will Beckett get the chance in knowing his girl in the tutu?
Royal Sullivan has not had a normal life and is very sheltered. Oh boy this girl has not had it easy at all!!! At time I really wished that I could reach into the book and slap many people. Will Royal ever get to live a normal life?
This book had so much sacrifice and love. The love had to build between some parties but in the end I loved every word that was written.
I can’t wait to read what comes next.
Loving the girl in the tutu was such an emotional ride from start to finish! Royal had my heart in knots before I was even aware of what was happening. Beckett, I always knew was going to be super possessive and loving with his woman and he DID NOT disappoint! Their journey may have been fast but it was worth it in spades with what they had to overcome. This was the perfect way to round out the series and my heart is beyond content.
I absolutely loved this story! There was so many tears shed but thats what happens when you read a great book from a fantastic author! I can’t wait for more from KL Donn!
This story emotionally wrecked me. I am writing this review with an emotional hangover. My heart absolutely breaks for Royal but Beck is right there to put the pieces back together and hold them. Be warned and have tissues at the ready. Spectacular story!!
This is why I love reading KL’s books. She writes the best beautifully broken characters and the OTT alphas that were created to show them exactly how beautiful and loved they are. Royal has lived a life of pain and sacrifice for her family. But when her and Beckett’s eyes met at the beach she knew that he would consume her life in the best of ways. Beckett knew that the gorgeous girl in the tutu was meant to be his. He would be the one to bring hope and love back into her eyes. And when he finally got the chance he wouldn’t let go. I loved the way these two held on to love and the way Beck was the protector that Royal always needed in her corner. This is a must read!! I hate that this series is over but I can’t wait for the next generation to get their stories!!
