From New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes an all new stand-alone novel in her beloved Big Sky Series!His Royal Highness Callum Wakefield lives a carefree, luxurious life. As the King of England’s youngest son, and thus not the heir apparent, he has more freedom and less royal responsibilities. He spends his days traveling the world, indulging in the … indulging in the extravagance afforded by his family name. But after years of hopping from one country to the next, the place that holds the most appeal is Cunningham Falls, Montana. And the only woman on his mind is a fiery redhead with an infectious laugh.
The one who hates him.
Aspen Calhoun is the new owner of Drips & Sips. It’s taken her many years to find a place to belong, and she’s perfectly happy living a quiet life. Or she would be, if a certain prince would stop coming to town.
Aspen and Callum shared one incredible night together two years ago before he returned to his opulent life, subsequently forgetting all about her. Ego bruised and pride wounded, Aspen doesn’t know why he’s back. And she doesn’t care. She refuses to fall for his charms again.
But Callum is determined to stay in Cunningham Falls and make it up to Aspen, no matter how long it takes. Because while she was out of sight, she was most certainly not out of mind.

In such crazy times this books was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed seeing Callum earn Aspen’s trust back and Aspen getting her much deserved Happily Ever After. This is the kind of book you want to climb into and never leave.
I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is book 3 in the Montana Royals series and this one is about Prince Callum and his crush on cafe owner, Aspen. Aspen and Callum hooked up two years before but then when they meet again a year later he asks her out and she gets pissed at him.
So in the last year he has majorly crushed on her and pretty much begged her to date him. They have friends in common and when he comes to town for the summer he tries to get Aspen to get to know him.
Can she forgive him? Truly? and is she the woman for him? And what about her past, does it get in the way? Well I am not spoiling any of it. This is my new favorite in this series. It was as wonderful as I was thinking it would be.
What more can I say about this book, #3 in the Big Sky Royal series, and Kristen nailed it! 5 big sky stars for this one!
We have Callum here, a true prince, amazing guy! He’s attracted to Aspen, who’s had to overcome her own issues, these two decide to go for it. Callum will have you swooning so hard, and Aspen will win you over with her strength!
I loved this one! Kristen has a way that her words make you feel what the characters are feeling, a rare trait and one that I love!
If you love Kristen Proby’s books, you don’t want to miss this one! Grab it ASAP!
Taunting Callum by Kristen Proby is the 3 book in the Big Sky Royal series and let me tell you if you have read the previous books you have meet Callum and his story is soo good. Aspen and Callum meet in Montana because Callum’s sister is friend with Aspen, but Aspen has a bit difficult past so she thinks a prince would never put his eyes on her! OH But Callum has another idea because once he sees Aspen he knows she is the one!! So Callum needs to show her that they can have their HEA together!!
I really enjoy reading this story so much!! Once I started reading it i couldn’t stop but that is something that always happened to me when i read any book by Kristen Proby! She definitely is one of my favorite author ever!!
I think Callum’s story is perfect for this couple and i can say is my favorite of this series!!
Callum and Aspen were such a great couple to get to know. She was guarded and taking her time and he was fallowing and not rushing her. The chemistry was real and I loved the way their relationship progressed. I loved his patients and the way he made sure to do everything for her to take him seriously. And Aspen is such a strong character and I absolutely loved her.
This was a short, funny and heartfelt read and i was thoroughly entertained.

“Big sky royals, 5 stars”
I love the Big Sky Royals series, and Callum and Aspen are no exception. Aspen is guarded (with good reason) and Callum has already made what some consider being a fatal error in a relationship. But he’s willing to prove to Aspen it was just a misunderstanding. Callum appears to be one thing in front of the press, but Aspen sees through it. Will she take the time and get to know him or will she push him out completely and only be polite when they have to be around each other? Only one way to find out.
I love the stories Proby weaves. They suck me in and I don’t come up for air until the end. If Cunningham Falls was a real place that’s where I would want to live. If you love a small-town romance and you love royals look no further, this is a story for you.

If wishes are rainbows, Proby holds the directions to get to the pot of gold. Taunting Callum is a watershed moment. There will be skies of grey that will tear at the heart. Hints of sun that will bring on the smiles and a love connection that will bring you to your knees. Callum and Aspen turn a sweet and salty mess into an irresistible treasure.
The youngest royal is back in Montana to try and win back the girl he can’t stop thinking about for the past 2 years. The only problem is he really pissed her off the last time he was in town, but there is just something about Aspen that he can’t shake.
I really loved Aspen and Callum. An enemy to lovers trope with some royals thrown in was just what I needed this past gloomy weekend. Callum is the youngest of the royals who have ascended upon small-town Montana, and he never knew the appeal, that is until he met Aspen.
Aspen moved to Montana to start over. What she never expected was to have a prince all of sudden trying to get her attention. Even though she’s mad at him (for good reason) the gorgeous Callum slowly starts to chip away at the walls Aspen has built.
This was a heartfelt romance that left me giddy. I love the Big Sky romances and hope they never end.
What a cute story! Callum wants the world to believe he is the playboy prince without a care in the world and maybe he really was that at one point but meeting Aspen changed him, even he did forget at first, YES YES YES she has every right to hold this over his head FOREVER! Seriously though Aspen has truly lost so much and is looking for happiness she is afraid she will never have again. Callum infiltrates her life in a way that she never planned and is not the person the world sees. Callum and Aspen are the sweetest together. And my goodness Callum is just a too swoon worthy when he starts cleaning tables in her coffee shop, I mean he is a prince and all. Loved this story.
Aspen is fierce and strong. She’s a force to be reckoned with and I love how Callum handles her. He’s so respectful of her past traumas and fears but encourages her in the best way. Their relationship started off unconventionally and I love how it came full circle. They’re one of my favorite couples from this series.
Callum Wakefield is the youngest son of the royal family. He has a reputation due to his ease with women and a different set of expectations because he is not directly in line for the throne. But he made a mistake when he returned to Montana and forgot the hot afternoon he spent with Aspen Calhoun, a mistake he desperately wants to make up for and get to know the sweet coffee shop owner more.
Aspen has spent years making herself a home in Cunningham Falls, and though she doesn’t let many people close to her, she isn’t willing to let the handsome prince in after he forgot who she was. But now that he’s returned, he is making it difficult to avoid him.
I loved the easy way these two had between them. They had a fiery connection 2 years before, but Aspen wasn’t willing to jump down that road so quickly again. Callum was determined to get back there though, so took the slow steps Aspen needed. But a slow pace isn’t the only thing standing in the way of their happiness, as they live completely different lives.
I loved returning to Cunningham Falls. Aspen and Callum have fantastic chemistry and even as they take it slow, the pages burn with heat. I always find these books easy to jump back into and a low angst bit of entertainment. Former Cunningham Falls characters return to support these two and the Montana town is always welcoming in its return.
I am so in love with this series, with Callum & Aspen, with their beautiful story that unfolds between the pages of this book! I’ve been curious about these two since their introduction in the previous books but their story is truly a Royal Happy Ever After!
Callum and Aspen couldn’t be further from opposites but as the old sayings go, “opposites attract” or “the heart wants what the heart wants”. Callum is the youngest Royal and known as the “playboy”. He’s ready for more in his life is but the one woman he wants won’t give him the time of day. Aspen is the owner of Drips & Sips with no room for love after the tragedy she’s endured. She’s trying to forget the one man she allowed in her world for a brief moment, only to be forgotten. Callum is determined to earn Aspen’s forgiveness and hopefully get the second chance he so badly wants!
This INCREDIBLE story of loss, forgiveness and finding love again is a 5-Star MUST read! It will absolutely leave you swooning with hearts in your eyes for your very own Callum!!
Fans of Kristen Proby rejoice; the final book in the Big Sky Royals series is finally here! The sneaky peek we got of Aspen & Callum at the end of Enticing Liam only helped to build excitement for Taunting Callum, but now that that it’s here, the moment is just so bittersweet. Especially after everything Aspen had to endure to finally have her happily ever after.
I’ll be the first to admit that I wasn’t Callum’s biggest fan. He seemed like such a playboy in the prior books, and I figured it’d take some work to get me to like him, but it turns out I was so incredibly wrong. Despite having gotten off to a rocky start, Callum was just so easy to love. He won me over with his sweet words, as well as his patience & perseverance and my heart may never be the same.
“I want you more than I want my next breath, but I have to make sure we’re on the same page, Aspen. It’s imperative.”
“Why?”
“Because you matter. This matters. And that’s why I’m treading carefully.”
I mean, there’s no way a girl can argue with that. Aspen would’ve been silly to even try. And she was not silly. Far from it! She’s an amazing lady boss, who’s kind, fun & sassy. But above that, her strength & resilience were awe-inspiring.
“I wasn’t ready for you years ago, Callum. Even if we’d started dating then, it wouldn’t have worked because I hadn’t finished healing yet.”
Aspen was just so self aware; while she may have had a tragic past, she didn’t let it define her and I’m just in awe of her. My heart is just so full at the moment. The Big Sky world and characters are just so special to me…it’s like coming home with each new installment.
Taunting Callum is quite a Charming Story! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Callum and Aspen’s story started two years before they got together. One year later and Aspen hasn’t forgotten but now it seems he has. Now he has to get forgiveness for the one woman he wants desperately.
Callum and Aspen’s story is quite fantastic and deeply emotional and empowering. Aspen is a very strong woman and marches to the beat of her own drum, and that beat calls to Callum’s heart.
Their story will make you swoon! 5 Charming Stars!
Taunting Callum is the third book in the Kristen Proby’s Big Sky Royal series, and I absolutely loved it!
Callum and Aspen met and had a one-night stand two years earlier after they met at Prince Sebastian and Nina’s home. The following year, they ran into each other, but Callum didn’t remember her. Since then, he has spent much time trying to apologize to Aspen for how he treated her. And while Aspen forgives Callum, that does not mean that she has forgotten. But their chemistry is off the charts and cannot be ignored.
I loved these two! I loved how hard Callum worked for forgiveness and redemption. And I loved that Aspen didn’t just give in, and really made sure that she was sure of Callum’s good intentions before being able to move forward. But these two sooo belonged together!
I have loved all of the books in this series; the Wakefield royals and the love that they have for their significant others is amazing! I highly recommend Taunting Callum!
I am loving the Royals! Taunting Callum was ahh so beautiful and sweet. I thought Sebastian and Liam were amazing but Callum may have taken the cake in this family. I loved how he was with Aspen-sweet, attentive, and loving. They were just so cute together. It was all about the swoon in this story. And of course it was great to see the rest of the gang again. Whenever they all get together it’s always a show for sure and I enjoyed catching up with the previous couples in the series. This was a heartfelt and pleasing book! Kristen’s books are always filled with so much heart and I love reading them. I’m so excited for what’s next.
You can’t never go wrong with this author.
3,75 stars
An adorable royal romance and a safe read. This book was sexy, sweet, light and easy to read.
We also got a glimpse on some previous characters and the cozy family dynamics (something I love about series of standalones).
A book to enjoy and just relax.
Callum is amazing !!
I really enjoyed this book, I’ve been looking forward to it since I knew there was history between them. Callum and Aspen haven’t had an easy ride things were done and said that made things between them difficult. Aspen is a strong woman and takes no crap and after everything life has thrown at her you know why. There is just one person that has gotten under her skin and the Callum. No matter how hard she tries to forget what happened between them she can’t. He really hurt her and turned what they had to crap. She couldn’t let herself get hurt again she had to stay strong and just think of herself and her business. Its just very hard when he is trying everything to get back into her good graces.
Callum what can I say about him, a lot really god this guy is so sexy and very good looking what more would you couod you want. But was Callum stupid YES could he of dealt with stuff better YES but did he really try to make things better YES. This is what made me luv him. Its takes a lot to know when you have done wrong and Callum did. The way he treated Apsen was so good he knew what she needed before she did. He knew life hadn’t been good and he just wanted to make sure he made her future a good one.
I really enjoyed this book the story flowed well and the characters are great. I would love to know more about a few of Aspen’s friend they are fun and I want more. Im a big fan of Kristen’s books and dying to see what she will come up with next.
OMG! What a super sweet romance. Callum has to prove himself to Aspen, their romance was really two years in the making. The story really gets better and better as it goes. That epilogue really got me.
Holy Royal heaven!! big Sky Royal has been a fun series. Taunting Callum has finished the series with a big bang. Callum fell for Aspen of Drips and Sips the minute he saw her. She remained in his thoughts for a year. And then he royally screwed up. I didn’t think he could fix it.
Boy does that guy need to get his grovel on. He has crushed the heart of the one women whose heart he wants to own. I do love a good grovel. He quickly learns that “I’m sorry” just isn’t enough. Callum doesn’t give up. He shows her that she not only deserves love but has his love.
What makes this story so wonderful is that they shouldn’t fit, but they are perfection. They aren’t just a wrong side of the tracks romance, but a wrong side of the pond. At least that is what I thought until Callum shows he knows how to get down and dirty.
The love Callum has for Aspen seeps through the pages. Their love story is one that will keep me smiling for a very long time. Family dynamics had this reader wanting that type of family support. Aspen is one lucky woman and she is strong enough to handle all th changes that will come her way.
