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.

Prince Callum Wakefield has already made one huge mistake with Aspen Calhoun. He had a very sexy encounter with her two years ago, but then failed to recognize her right away at their next meeting. Ouch!
Aspen is focused on her business Drips & Sips and has convinced herself she does not have time for any man…much less a cocky Prince who forgot about her. She is smart, fiery, caring, but she also has a hidden past that has left scars. And it is easier to be angry at and hate Callum then it is to face what they shared.
Callum is the youngest royal and has lived a much more carefree life than his older siblings, having the ability to travel and just enjoy life. In his past he was considered a reckless playboy, but he has changed in the past couple years somewhat due to his mistake with Aspen. He is charming, easy-going, and usually fairly controlled, but she makes him lose it. And on this trip to Montana with his family, he is determined to make it right…and maybe even woo her.
Aspen is a tough cookie and closed off for a reason. Her walls will be hard to break down. But Callum is determined and sometimes the hardest things to win are the most important.
I loved Callum and Aspen. Their chemistry was never in question. Aspen is a spitfire, but has a bruised but loving heart. And Callum did make some mistakes but tries hard to make up for them. He might just be the swooniest of these men. But they also have other challenges due to the differences in their lives and will both have to decide if being together is worth it.
This is a sweet, sexy, low angst, Prince falls for a commoner love story that requires time and patience. It brings back the other royals and friends from Cunningham Falls, Montana. I always love visiting this town and the wonderful people there.
Amazing! I was so excited for Callum’s story and I was not disappointed! Callum and Aspen’s story starts off with a bang! I loved Aspen’s strength and Callum’s tenacity when it came to winning Aspen over! I loved everything about this story! All the feels – this is a Five Star read for sure!
Kristen Proby is the queen of writing amazing towns that I want to live in. Its always like visiting old friends every time we get a new book. I love these characters so much. The royals were such a great and fun addition. With each book, I get a new favorite.
The epilogue of Liam really stayed with me for so long and I couldn’t wait to finally get Callum and Aspen’s story. I loved Aspen from her first mention. Her story was so beautiful and heartbreaking. But what a strong woman she is, I mean wow. Such an inspiring character.
I’m sure it will be mentioned several times how swoon-worthy Prince Callum is. It’s a perfect description. I very much enjoyed adding Callum to my list of favorite Proby men. I love how he didn’t give up fighting for her forgiveness after a major douche move. I love how much he wanted Aspen in his life and how he presented the risks of being in a relationship with a royal. One of my favorite lines in the book is Callum’s telling Aspen why his world might be worse than where she comes from.
“ Your history doesn’t dissuade me in the least. But mine might discourage you, and I’d rather know that now than after I’ve finished falling in love with you”
*Sigh*
This series has been simply magical.
I’m so in love with Taunting Callum. This is such a sweet and healing read. Callum is such a sweetheart that will make you swoon. Aspen she is sweet, hard working and just surviving. You will ache for her and what she went through. I really love how Aspen makes Callum work for it to get back on her good side for years. There is such a connection between them that you feel from the very start. I love how caring Callum is when it comes to Aspen’s past. Callum and Aspen just steal your heart and hold onto it the entire read. I couldn’t put this one down at all.
Kristen Proby’s newest love story, Taunting Callum, is such a perfect beach read. Totally love Callum. He is of course handsome, kind, and alpha. Aspen Calhoun caught Callum’s attention 2 years ago. Aspen owns Drips and Sips Coffee shop in Cunningham Falls, Montana. She moved to Cunningham Falls after a devastating loss. She has picked herself up and continues to move forward. I would love to give more detail but that would just give too much away. If you have read Kristen Proby before you know her style, fun, smart, sexy, sassy, loving, possessive(good way), and gorgeous characters inside and out. That is exactly what you get with Taunting Callum, some tissues might be in order as well. If you have not read Kristen’s books before and are starting here then you are in for a treat. Great characters, fun story, super easy/relaxing read. I highly recommend any Kristen Proby book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. *****
I loved everything about this book. I love Callum and Aspen. I love that Callum is a prince. I swear it doesn’t matter what i read by Kristen Proby I fall it love with all her characters. Can’t wait for more from her.
Great read and another hit in this series. I could not put this book down. Callum and Aspen were great. The heartbreaking past of Aspen and how great Callum was, swoon worthy. You can’t help but root for these two. I loved getting to follow up with all th epithets and then some friends. Kristen Proby never disappoints and I can’t wait for the next read from her.
Callum… what a swoon worthy prince! I absolutely adore this series and was so excited to get Callum and Aspen’s story and I was not disappointed in the least! I loved it!
Every girl wants to marry a prince. But Aspen only had a one-night stand with one. The next time Aspen saw Callum after that time he did not remember her. So for the last 2 years he has done everything he could to apologize to her for that mistake. He may have forgotten for that moment but he has not forgotten that night with her. Now he wants more with her. She is unlike any woman he has been with. He has fallen in love with her and wants her in his life. Aspen has suffered great loss when she lost her husband and daughter in a boating accident. She never thought she would fall in love again. She also realizes how different her and Callum are. From where she came from, not that she apologizing for that, and his background they are definitely not the same.
Even though they are royalty his family is so down to earth. You see this in the previous stories. When Callum tells his mom about Aspen she is overjoyed for him. To see the smile on his face when he talks about her to his overall happiness. It makes you believe in fairy tales. This story is written with so much love and family. A true joy of a love story. When Aspen hands him a rag to clean tables at her café was pure joy. He could have refused, after all he is a prince and that is unacceptable. But he took the rag and did as she asked. And it wasn’t the only time. I loved this story so much. One thing I loved the most is the acceptance of each other as real people not the titles he and his family held.

Yes!! Callum is truly Prince Charming…I fell fast and hard for this Prince. Yes he had some flaws and made a mistake but he more than made up for it in this book!!
Of course this book was written by Kristen Proby….you know it’s going to be great even before you start reading. I was totally in love with these characters and the story they had to tell. I think this book was the most emotional in this series. My heart broke on many occasions after learning of Aspen’s past. I truly loved the woman she became. She was fierce, sassy and lovable….I want her as a best friend!!!
Taunting Callum is the third book in Kristen‘s Big Sky Royal series. This is an interconnected stand-alone novel that is told in Dual POV. It’s the perfect mix of Royal love and small town romance. If you have read any other book in this series you know just how special Cunningham Falls, Montana truly is. Every time I read one of these books and Kristen describes the area, I want to travel there to see it all for myself.
In this book we follow Callum and Aspen. After a steamy one night stand and Callum forgetting who Aspen was, he is back two years later to beg for forgiveness and win Aspen’s heart. Can she move past the past hurt? Is she willing to take a chance on love again?? Read this book to find out.
I loved watching Callum and Aspen together. Even though they are complete opposites, they totally worked together. He was sweet, sexy and charming and she was sassy, a little broken, but full of love. They rank pretty high on my list of favorite Proby couples.
If you are looking for a low angst, little drama (just enough to keep things interesting) and a sexy romance story, then you need to read this book!! Definitely add this to your TBR list and 1-click it once it releases.
