She’s gone. Someone took her from me.

Our review

Teasing the Princess is the conclusion to Royal Tease, which left us on a cliffhanger. Thus we enter book two of a bodyguard/royalty/work mashup romance mixed with opposites attract. Having read book one of this series, I was acquainted with the characters and plot.

This book sees our characters piecing together so much of their past and finding a new place for themselves in a new family and place. A lot happens, a lot to keep track of, and some of it with characters from book one, and from past books. Then, just when you think all the plot twists have been tied up neatly in a bow, pow! Another bit you almost forgot comes back to the forefront and knocks everyone for a loop!

Jessa has a quirky past that has led her to make some rash decisions and jump to some perhaps unorthodox conclusions. Roone is the hapless bodyguard who is working without all the info on a protectee who doesn't know she's being protected or why. Their antics are both funny and frustrating. The chapters being told by alternating characters kept the reader mostly in the loop, feeling like an omniscient narrator who is watching a train wreck happen.

These two already crossed all the bodyguard lines in book one. Since we knew they liked each other and set each other on fire, this book had to work a little harder to have Jessa and Roone connect, but despite all the changes happening around them, they still have the chemistry, still have the heat, still manage to connect and be there for each other.

Again, I thought the style was a bit choppy. I really need to go read Lucas and Sebastian's stories for a better backstory for this author's character world. There were a lot of explanations that I needed to reread to get the details straight to make sense, and a family tree or diagram of the factions would have been helpful! But I did want to know who was the after the princess, and how this whole crazy royal family worked everything out.

You can easily tell this is definitely part of a larger novel universe, and while many questions were answered, I felt out of the loop not knowing all the royal family. So I may need to go find those. But it was a good read and I'm game for any future books in the series.

Favorite Quotes:
“I hated to say it, but the Winston Isles felt like I belonged. … The moment I put my feet in that bath water warm ocean, the soft waves lapping at my toes, my body instantly relaxed.”

“So, we're still going to pretend that you and my sister aren't a thing?”
If you love her, like actually love her...then don't be a twat.”
