Go … was royally simple. Go undercover and protect her. Seeing as it’s all I want to do already, it should have been the easiest assignment of my life. But of course, she is determined to cause trouble. And all the forbidden temptation manhandling her entails.

The monarchy is at risk.
And so is my heart.

Roone is a man who is honest to a fault, loyal and just as determined to get his job done and done right. His current job? To keep the princess safe, but said princess has no idea who she really is!

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review this amazing book. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just couldn’t get enough of it and once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. I recommend that you read it.
Royal Love!
Nana Malone does it again! She knows ho to bring the Royals to life with the right amount of fun, sexiness, and adventure.
Roone is on the job. He is set to protect his best friend’s sister and unfortunately, he is not one of her favorite people. But that doesn’t deter him (or his heart) from making sure that Jessa is safe.
Jessa knows just how to take care of herself, but she is also wise enough to know that sometimes she has to follow the rules.
Jessa & Roone will quickly become your next favorite Royal Pair! The two find a way to make you love them!
Bring on the Royals. Can’t wait for the next part!
Royal Tease by Nana Malone is the first book in a new duet titled Royals United . This series is connected to other Royal series by this author but can completely be read as a standalone duet. Told in dual POV between Roone, the bodyguard undercover to protect a princess that doesn’t know her true heritage, and Jessa, the lost princess who is battling her own demons and is determined to keep everyone, especially Roone, at a distance. With some hilarious interactions between the stubborn Roone and sassy Jessa, and also between Roone’s undercover partner in charge of the mission Ariel, this book has sass, sex, steam, and drama making it a wonderful story and I’m eager for the conclusion in Teasing The Princess. Enjoy!
The start of a new series called Royals United it is well-written and held my interest throughout a book I found myself smiling with. Jessa and Roone’s story has intrigue, suspense, danger, secrets, and ends on a cliff-hanger. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This series just keeps getting better and better! I have loved all of the books that follow this group of characters. It all started with Cheeky Royal in the Royals Undercover Series and has expanded into one amazing story after another. I highly recommend reading the other books that go along with this one first. You will love the story that much more when you know what all is going on from the beginning.
This book lets us get to know the lost princess Jessa. Only, she has yet to find out that she is the lost princess. With danger after the royal family, Roone is put on the job of going undercover to protect her. This mission proves to be harder than expected when Jessa wants nothing to do with him right from the start. Like oil and water these two do not mix well.
This book is full of mystery and suspense, heartbreak and love. I could hardly put this book down once I started reading because I had to know what was going to happen next. I can not wait to get my hands on the next book in this series so that I can hopefully find out who is after the family.
This is a must read book and series for sure. – By Alisa
Five teasing stars! Hot attraction + sassy lost princess + protective British hero = beautiful perfection
For the crown’s sake! When I tough that no other male character will ruin me, and there it comes Nana Malone and writes a new book and creates such a hot, British possessive cavalier! I wonder what inspire Nana to create such impossible perfect male characters. They are pretty more than any others. After loving Sebastian and Lucas, I was really excited to discover if Roone was going to be a so good book boyfriend and voilà he is absolutely swoon-and-drool-worthy!
Royal Tease is a tease with capital letters, ladies! It is excellently developed; the story unfolds wonderfully and the characters are complex. This book has all the elements that romance readers love. The plot is original (a characteristic of the writing of this author) and the pace is fast. The dual narration is deliciously teasing. I loved everything about this book. There is a reason why Nana Malone’s books are my favourites and you will discover it if you read any of her books.
The attraction and chemistry between Jessa and Roone is explosive and hot as hell, it is steamy desire that will consume every of their cells. They are something fantastic. They way they challenge each other is exquisite. Their complexity makes them unique and it increases the beauty of this book. Ronne is more than a handsome guy. He is sexy AF, arrogant, charming and sometimes damn sweet! He is all the package ladies! He is absolutely trust worthy. If you don’t believe me, you can ask King Sebastian and Prince Lucas. They trust him with their lost sister…
This book wrapped me like a warm summer breeze. Light, delicate and wholly enticing. It made me want more and more until the end of it. Reading Royal Tease was a teasing experience that gave me all the feels. I had a wonderful time. It was worthy of every minute I spent on it. It left me with a big book hangover and the end killed me. It is like this book has a teasing complex. Damn it! There is more than a good romance between the pages of this masterpiece.
Total 4.5 star read!! I absolutely adore this series about the Royal family of the Winston Isles. Royal Tease focuses on Roone and Jessa. Although I am sure you can read this one as a stand alone, I highly implore you to read the series from the beginning, starting with Royals Uncover. I promise you, you will not be sorry. This story did not start out as action packed as some of the other ones in the series, but, boy oh boy, does Nana Malone make up for it at the end!! HOLY SMOKES!! She really knows how to keep her readers coming back for more!!
Roone, who is a Royal Guard and the best friend of the King and Prince, is about as straight-laced and by the book as they come, so would expect Roone to fall off track, but that is exactly what happens once he sets sights on Jessa. Roone has been tasked with duty to protect her from known and unknown enemies alike despite the fact that poor Jessa has no idea about who she really is. However, Jessa is a strong, fiercely independent woman, who also happens to be very leery about things, so she is not falling for just anything. Yet, these two are seriously attracted to each other. So, we are left with Roone and Jessa facing a huge dilemma. I seriously cannot wait for the conclusion to Roone and Jessa’s story in Teasing the Princess.
Hot Romance – Breaking the Rules
The sexual tension between Roone and Jessa is immediate. The only problem is that Roone is supposed to be protecting Jessa and he knows better than to sleep with his best friend’s sister. Jessa is strong, independent, and knows how to stand up for herself. Roone can’t resist her but knows he can’t reveal who he really is.
This book was filled with suspense and action from the start. The dialogue is sharp, clever, flirty, and sexy. The story grabs you and doesn’t let go.
Be warned: The story ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.
After being the right-hand man to both Sebastian and Lucas it is finally Roone’s time to shine. Who better to pair him with than Ms. Sassy Princess herself Jessa. From their initial reaction, I knew the readers would be in for a treat. What I loved about this story we would really get to see Roone outside of being Sebastian’s loyal best friend and Royal Guard. I also enjoyed getting to know more about Jessa. I won’t spoil the book but if you like me it was hard to put it down. I am patiently waiting for Book 2.
I’ve heard love described as a losing game. Although there may be some truth to that, I have always thought we give out what we take in. It’s easier to fall in love, but not so easy to walk away. We enter romance seeing what we want to see, but when we walk away we leave strong feelings behind. Royal Tease is the story of two strangers trying to make sense. Jessa and Reese are thrown together with the best of intentions and torn apart by deceit. Malone is masterful when it comes to seducing her readers. She’s so good that I never see what’s standing right in front of me. Heartache and a surprise ending.
I absolutely loved it. I had to buy the next one just because I couldn’t get enough of the story line
This is Book 1 of Royals United Duet.
This is Part 1 of the story of Roone & Jessa. Roone is in security for King Sebastian and is trying to protect Jessa, the lost Princess. Jessa works for a PR company. Roone gets a job there working with Jessa on the same clients. As the story unfolds, Roone and Ariel who he works under, are trying to get info on who is trying to take Jessa. This story is full of anticipation of what will happen next. They are attracted to one another, but try to stay apart. There’s a lot going on in this story, and I can’t wait to read Book 2.
If you read this with the attitude it’s another fairytale of royal romance it is a great deal easier to enjoy.
From the first page, author Nana Malone raises temperatures with the heat and electricity zinging between Jessa and Roone. Even as they go head to head, jocking for position as lead PR rep, the reader gets a front row seat to the hot looks, naughty thoughts, and verbal sparring between the two. It’s not only entertaining but gives the reader a showcase of their personalities and why these characters are not just hot for each other but falling lustily in love; Roone’s rigid moral compass at war with the necessity of having to lie to Jessa to keep her safe, Jessa’s hard-as-nails persona hiding a caring and vulnerable woman.
I enjoyed the stormy start to their relationship and, later, their passionate embraces just as much as I enjoyed the secondary story of friendly rivalry between Roone and his team leader, Ariel. As well as the suspenseful aspect that leads to one heck of a cliffhanger ending.
Roone is working undercover to protect the Princess, who doesn’t know she’s a Princess. They fight the attraction until…
Good story but hate the cliffhanger…
How have I never read this author before?!!! Never again!
What I love most about Nana Malone books is how each book flows with the next. The writing is incredible and addicting. And that ending! Her books always leave me wanting more.
Roone and Jessa were flying off the pages at me. The forbidden mixed with the mystery sucks you right in. I love watching characters develop throughout books like Roone and Jessa do. It was a thrilling and captivating read and can’t wait to see what’s next.
Roone Ainsley has been given the task to protect his best friend, Lucas’s sister. The only problem is that she hates him and he has to figure out a way to do it without her really knowing what he is doing.
Jessa McLean works for Evans PR in London and lately she has been getting weird phone calls, etc. She is stubborn and a bit of a perfectionist and does not want to have to work with Roone.
When it is clear that someone may be after Jessa can Roone keep her safe without getting too involved?
This was a great beginning to the series and I am looking forward to more!
I kind of felt bad for Roone having to go undercover to keep Jessa safe and I loved the initial animosity that Jessa had towards him.
I liked Jessa but initially I was confused about certain things until other stuff was revealed and everything fell into place.
I was curious about the “stalker” and if it was linked to the secrets being kept or if it was just an unlucky coincidence.
The end was completely shocking and I was not expecting what happened at all!!
Now to wait for the next book!!
WHOA
WHOA!!
How STEAMY HOT are these Royals?!?!? Nana Malone has once again proven they are FIRE HOTTTTTT!!!
Royal Tease was as complex, intriguing, and sexy as sin! I LOVED every moment of this
forbidden romance! This time we get Jessa and Roone’s story.
Jessa and Roone have quit the unique relationship. She’s a princess who doesn’t know she’s one, he’s undercover to keep her safe. I LOVED Roone!!! He’s a complete and total alpha male, he’s sexy, intriguing, and charismatic. How can a woman resist him?
Jessa was such an AMAZING character. She’s strong, spunky, independent, and downright feisty. She definitely gave Roone a run for his money.
Royal Tease was an emotional, sexy, thrilling, and passionate story. And a WONDERFUL start to
Jessa and Roone’s story. Let me say after that cliffhanger I’m dying to see what’s next four these two. Can’t wait for Teasing the Princess.
