Arranged marriage? I’m in! Lili Valente delivers a truly fun, fabulous page-turner that’s guaranteed to leave you smiling!
This book is the perfect escape read! Laugh-out-loud antics as the royal playboy Andrew tries to lose his betrothed, Sabrina. A bonus that this book is also available in audio. A genuine delight!
Y’all know I’m a sucker for arranged marriages and this one sounds fantastic!
An entertaining read! The wonderful characters kept me entertained throughout this story.
Cute little fantasy romance read . Interesting scenarios thought up by the author and of course a happily ever after conclusion for one couple and a lead in to the next book.
11/19/2021 From page one (1) of “The Playboy Prince” (nook) I was hooked. I did not put down my Nook until the last page. I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming story with a splash of sweetness, angst and hope. Sadness was balanced with laugh-out-loud funny. I am ready to read the next book.
I loved the storyline of this book! A twin switch with a royal twist? I’ve never seen another storyline like this and I want more.
Andrew was absolutely dreamy. I loved his confidence and his personality so much. Sabrina is definitely a favorite of mine in the Lili Valente world. I’m excited that there are 3 books in this series. 3 brothers and 3 sisters. The antics has me cracking up and the amount of angst and tension was the perfect amount.
Shane East and Lili Valente do an amazing job narrating. I love hearing these two together.
I loved the craziness of this book. There were so many schemes and shenanigans going on. It actually reminded me a lot of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which is one of my favorite movies. Only this one involves royalty and accents.
Lili Valente writes the best rom-coms, and add in a royal story line and I ate this up. Listening to the audiobook narrated by Lili and Shane East was the best. Their voices complimented each other perfectly and together they were both sexy and sweet. This is an arranged marriage story with a twist. There is some scheming going on between Prince Andrew and his bethroled Lizzy. As she sends her twin sister, Sabrina in her place. There were moments of angst that kept me guessing as I wondered how it would all unfold knowing both were hiding secrets. There was also a ton of laughs and sizzling heat between Sabrina and Andrew and I loved it all.
This was a funny royal romance with both sides not being completely up front about their truths. There is plenty of heat between these two. The secondary characters are engaging and I am hopeful we will get more stories with them as the main characters. The first kiss scene was exceptional: ending in a way that I laughed very hard. Andrew is a little ridiculous at times. Sabrina is torn between duty and her own desires, which win out more often than duty. Overall, a fun read.
I’m SO EXCITED that Lili Valente has written a royal romance! And an arranged marriage story to boot? Be still my heart. It doesn’t get any better than this.
I’m so in love with this story!
I never really had a thing for Royal romances, but I’ve fallen in love with a few over the last couple of years, and this is definitely a new one to add to my favorites collection!
I loved the roguish and quirky Andrew from the start. Sure, he didn’t exactly make the best first impression with his less-than-stellar ideas, but his intentions behind them were nothing but honest. He only wants to live his life by his own rules, and no one should fault him for that. He’s a natural born leader who’s funny, charming, and a bit misguided at times. But his heart is enough to swoon you into submission. You can’t help but fall in love with him.
Sabrina is loyal to a fault, which is how she ends up in this mess of a situation in the first place. She’d do anything for family, and often takes the weight of their missteps on her own shoulders. But she isn’t perfect by any means, and oftentimes she gets in over her head. She’ll never let you see it though. She’s tough, smart, witty, determined, and quick on her feet. And she’ll need all of those qualities when it comes to Andrew.
These two were a riot from the start. The slow-burning chemistry was there from the beginning, even if it was covered up by sarcasm, wit, and a few little white lies. But you can only resist the irresistible for so long. Their story was sexy, sweet, and laugh-out-loud funny. And one you definitely don’t want to miss.
Another great rom-com by Lili Valente. Royally loved this on Andrew a prince soon to be coronated as the king and Lizzy/Sabrina princess in a neighboring village. Andrew and Lizzy are arranged to be married by there grandfathers but what happens when you twin sister steps in. Loved these two together. It was a great read.
Lili Valente just wrote a royalty romance and I’m here for it! This opposites attract, enemies to lovers book is hilarious, delicious, a feel good read and did I mention hilarious? She knocks this straight out the park! Great escape book!
Lili Valente gives her readers a brand new swoony, sexy royal romance and as one of my very favorites, I was here for all the words. Royal Package was an unputdownable romance that stole my heart, gave me allllll the feels, and left me with one wicked hangover.
Who knew royals could be so complicated yet completely addicting?
An arranged marriage that was unconventional yet destined. A twin switch that’ll make your head spin and keep you on your toes. And one love story that is for my books.
I highly recommend this book.

Royal Package by Lili Valente stars Prince Andrew and Princess Sabrina. Sabrina has taken the place of her twin sister Elizabeth who has been bestowed to marry Prince Andrew in an arranged marriage. Elizabeth sent Sabrina in her place to help buy her some time to complete her lingerie line. Sabrina has no intent in making Prince Andrew’s life easy, remembering how he tortured her poor sister when they were young; but she also had to play the part of the quiet, shy twin with a stutter. How hard can that be? Prince Andrew has no intent on marrying a woman he barely knows; who he has spoken to once a month on the phone and especially a woman he doesn’t love. Operation Prince Charmless is in effect with no intent for any prisoners.
From the moment Andrew saw Elizabeth (aka: Sabrina) he noticed something was different about her. She spoke, acted and even stuttered like the Elizabeth he knew BUT the way she held her head high with this air of confidence was different. He knew little details about Elizabeth from speaking to her over the phone for years and what his spy told him. He had no intention of building a relationship with her, his mind set in making her back out of the arrangement. Sabrina knew that she had a job to do. Last for a month until the engagement party, buying time for Elizabeth to finish her line and the they could switch places for the wedding. What Sabrina didn’t plan for was liking Andrew. The more time they spend together, the more each one found they enjoyed the others company. Andrew and Sabrina had a lot more in common than Andrew and Elizabeth. Soon they both found themselves falling for the other and thinking maybe this could work. BUT could it when Prince Andrew is falling for the wrong twin? Will Operation Prince Charmless back fire and become Operation Prince Charming?
Sabrina and Andrew challenged each other and their relationship was sweet, adorable, sexy and real. Once again Lili Valente didn’t disappoint with her spectacular writing which uses wittiness and charm to win over her readers.
4.5 Stars
This is a book you’re easily going to get lost in. This book had me laughing through out the book. I loved Andrew and Sabrina. They have so much chemistry. Andrew is fighting it for all he is worth so he can end the arranged marriage, but he never counted on his fiancee being so interesting. Really all the characters in this book are fabulous. The siblings for both main characters are having me hope for book for them. Once I started this book it was hard to put down. It had the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor. This is the perfect type of read I’m looking for during these strange times right now. Being able to just lose myself in the story and forget everything for a little while was a magnificent feeling. I would so recommend this book! A must read!
Lili Valente’s books are a guaranteed good time.
Check out this royal read from Lili Valente! She always brings steamy and funny together in the best of ways!
Ooh! A royal romance from Lili Valente?! Yes, please! Okay, for the sake of keeping this review spoiler-free, I’m going to do my best to keep the details to a bare minimum. We have Prince Andrew, aka the Royal Package, and he’s about to marry Princess Elizabeth, who, as far as Andrew is concerned, is a royal bore. But agreements were made between both royal families, and this marriage is his grandfather’s dying wish. As much as he loved his grandfather, though, Andrew fears that any marriage with Elizabeth will be a disaster given how different their personalities are. What’s a cocky royal to do? Well, ensure that it’s his bride-to-be who calls off the wedding, of course, and in order to do that, he’s going to be as charmless as possible. It’ll be difficult for sure, but a prince like him must do whatever is necessary for the sake of his singlehood, erm, kingdom. The he meets Elizabeth once again, and she’s nothing like he remembers. What’s he to do now that he’s, dare he say it, charmed by his fiery, smart, and beautiful princess bride yet she doesn’t want to have a single thing to do with him or his royal package?
This was, indeed, the total royal rom-com package! Lili Valente doesn’t disappoint, bringing her brand of wit and humor and romance and sex, then adds in a touch of royalty to the mix. Andrew was a hoot. Seriously, the guy probably thought he was God’s gift to women everywhere, blue-blooded or not, but then he’s also a red-blooded male who just happened to be royal. His wife-to-be was someone he needed, even he was kinda-sorta-maybe-totally opposed to the idea of settling down to an arranged marriage with a girl he considered meek and mousy. Well, wasn’t he in for a surprise and a half? Among the three sisters, Elizabeth was the oldest, so her being chosen as Andrew’s bride was a given, and she accepted her fate because it was what was expected of her. Sabrina, the middle sister, didn’t think too highly of Andrew, and goodness, but she was a great female character–independent and sassy. I was excited at the beginning of the book, and by the end, I was thoroughly satisfied. Five stars go to Royal Package.
