YES!! Dylan & Lydia are back!!
I cannot tell you how excited I was to discover Parker Swift and her Royal Scandal series. I have reached out to her on FB and have told her how much I loved this series. So, when she wrote Royal Match, I knew I needed this book in my life!!
I am so glad to have Dylan & Lydia back. I really hate royal books because I tend to think that they are trying really hard to write new storylines that try to match the true royal family in England. But for some reason, this series just resonates with me. Parker Swift makes you fall in love with Dylan & Lydia! It’s easy and effortless.
With Royal Match, you continue to see their relationship grow. All of the original characters are back! Dylan & Lydia have new challenges ahead of them. This book takes you on an adventure that completely make you fall in love with Dylan & Lydia all over again.
I am looking forward to see what other books Parker Swift sends our way. Her Royal Scandal series was a fantast way to start her writing career. She is a diamond in the rough! Please, please Parker, write some more so that I can enjoy your work! You have a fan for life!

Avid Reader –
M/F Romance
This is a quick snippet look at the royal couple who are expecting their third kiddo.
While her husband is slowly going bald with trying to keep his full-time working, active, pregnant wife from going into labor, she then goes and accepts the queen’s decree that she be the matron of honor in an upcoming wedding.
It’s really just a snapshot into their lives and how busy everything has become. It was cute, but there wasn’t a true story. You got to see a little of the royal couple and their chemistry, but I don’t think this was what it was about. It was more about their crazy trail to the delivery of their third child.
Overall, it was sweet and you wouldn’t necessarily have to have read the previous book to understand the protective nature of Dylan or the love they share together.
Ruthie –
Although I had not read the previous trilogy, the blurb just made me want to read it! I really enjoyed this snippet of family life, in a royal situation, but involving two people who are very grounded in their outlook on life. For a short story, I got a very big story and some delightful new friends. It pretty much guaranteed that I will be reading the original trilogy as soon as I find the time.
I love the relationship between Dylan and Lydia – it is a wonderful combination of very sexy, lustful, passionate, loving, and also totally children focussed. And those children have bad timing down to a fine art, which is hilarious, and frustrating! They take their responsibilities seriously yet have lots of fun along the way. Daphne was a total hoot – and I would love to follow her in her new romance.
Perfect escapism, thank you, Ms. Swift.
Reviewers on the Wicked Reads Review Team were provided a free copy of Royal Match (Royal Scandal #3.5) by Parker Swift to read and review.
I’ll admit that I haven’t read the previous books, so that might be some of the issue. However, this novella can stand on its own.
If you’re looking for a sweet, swoony story about a man who loves his pregnant wife and would do absolutely anything for her, then this is for you. There is just enough background info given to where you know what’s going on, but it also leaves you (well, definitely me) wanting to go back to the beginning to see how their story unfolded.
Add if you like royalty books, this is a nice treat as well. Because, well, big weddings, big surprises, big deal. And I do love a royal wedding.
Dylan will have you begging for more.
Royal Match by Parker Swift is book 3.5 in the Royal Scandal series. This is the story of Dylan and Lydia. I haven’t yet read the previous books, so for me I made it a standalone book. With that said I do wish I had read the previous books.
This book Dylan and Lydia were expecting another child along with going to a family wedding. I really enjoyed their interactions so I need to go find the book that started their story because it was that good.
The city girl who lost her heart to a royal. With royal wedding fever in full force all over the world, it’s only fitting that Dylan and Lydia drop in on the fun. The Royal Scandal series has been an addiction for me from the beginning, so it’s nice to catch up with old friends. This time around these sexy unconventional royals are about to become parents. Marriage hasn’t dulled the spark or the chaos of this engagingly crazy couple. Just when they seem to have figured it all out, more drama ensues. Swift never loses her sense of humor as she continues to speak to the heart. In my opinion Lydia and Dylan put that other royal couple on notice.
I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
It was a cute, quick read that made me want to check out the previous books in the series. I am also curious to see if a story will come out about Daphne and Nick’s relationship.
