Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
Losing people you love is hard. Aurora De La Torre knows moving back to a place that was once home isn’t going to be easy. Starting your whole life over probably isn’t supposed to be. But a small town in the mountains might be the perfect remedy for a broken heart. And checking out her landlord, across the driveway, just might cure it too.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her twin. Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with a niece she didn’t know she had. Now, she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no home - and an 11-year-old to take care of. Since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox can do is help her out. And just as soon as she's out of trouble, he can get back to his peaceful, solitary life. That’s the plan, until the trouble turns to real danger.

Story4 out of 5 stars 25
After 10 years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then, she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone - the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for year - is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land....

Life for Emma isn’t good. The world knows her as Princess Anya on Dark Castle, but then her character gets the axe - literally. The cherry on top is finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She needs a break, and sanctuary comes in the form of Rosemont, a gorgeous estate in California promising rest and relaxation. Then she meets the owner’s equally gorgeous grandson, ex-hockey player and current recluse Lucian Osmond, and she sees her own pain and yearning reflected in his eyes.

Publisher's Summary
One of PopSugar's Top Summer Reads of 2021!
An ordinary summer goes royally awry when a prince and princess move next door, bringing their handsome bodyguard with them, from New York Times best-selling author Karina Halle.
Piper Evans: elementary school teacher by day - avid romance reader and anonymous podcaster by night. She has a quiet, reclusive life, taking care of her mother, who lives with mental illness, avoiding her regrettable ex, who bartends in town, and trying to make inroads in the tight-knit island community that still sees her, five years in, as an outsider.
And she's happy with how things are - really - until British royals rent the property next to hers and their brooding bodyguard decides she's a security threat. Piper quickly realizes that one person's fairy tale is an ordinary woman's nightmare as a media frenzy takes over the island and each run-in with Harrison Cole is hotter and more confusing than the last. But beneath Harrison's no-nonsense exterior lies a soft heart, one that could tempt a woman who's sworn off attachments into believing in white knights.
But when Piper finds herself smack in the middle of a royal scandal that rocks the island, she'll need more than Harrison's strong arms to shield her - she'll have to do a little rescuing herself. With careers, hearts, and friendships on the line, Piper and Harrison will have to decide what they're willing to give up for a chance at their own happily-ever-after.
What the critics say
"Karina Halle always charms.” (Christina Lauren, New York Times best-selling author)
"Prepare to fall hard for The Royals Next Door." (PopSugar)
"A romance brimming with tension and fun, while putting mental health and trauma recovery at its center." (Library Journal)

Great book
I liked this book because it didn’t have too much of the ‘doomed romance’ and big misunderstanding that leads to a breakup drama that so many romance novels have, and that I personally find so tedious.
The only criticism I would have is that some of the words like toque and some other things here and there were mispronounced. The narrator was so great but I think that this could have been better researched by her or caught by the producer.
The book was really great and I highly recommend it.

Not for me.
Not a fan of the sex scenes. I failed to check on this before purchasing.

just ok
The story rambled in the beginning and then went straight from light romance to extremely sexually graphic. It was just a bit more than expected.
The narrator wasn't bad but I did increase the pace to 2x normal speed so that the pauses and in-between sentences weren't to annoying.

OK
This is a quick and easy read. Nothing major happens, but its sweet and fun.
Narration is done well. There just wasn't anything that wowed me. But still, not a bad read.

This “smutt” is so good!
I felt like I had the teenage girl crush feelings, but in an adult setting I could relate to! My only complaints is that it was all over to soon! I absolutely LOVED listening to this!!! Fantastic narration and story!

Blah, don't waste your time
I waited for this to get interesting. It never did. I could have written the very predictable storyline. I only finished it because I hate leaving books unfinished. The narrator was great.
