my thoughts:

Reluctantly Royal by Kelle Z. Riley is the third book in her popular Riches & Royals series and it is fantastic! I loved it to bits! Talk about romance at its very best!

Gracie is just trying to get on track with her studies. She's lost her father and so much more in such a short time. She's trying to settle in at her sister's new home, the Kingdom of Melesia. Oh, and she's fallen in love with the king's brother. Cripes! So many feelings, dramas, and awkward moments for Gracies to contend with. What's a lady to do? Follow her heart or keep her heart closed off? Hmm...will Gracie wind up reluctantly royal after all? 

Riley has written another terrific story for her entertaining and addictive series, Riches and Royals. I just loved the story and I enjoyed getting to know Gracie - she was sweet, awkward, and unsure of herself at times which is something we can all relate to. I found myself hooked right from the start and eager to find out what would happen to Gracie - would she follow her heart and risk everything for love? What a great book! I would happily recommend Reluctantly Royal to fans of the series and to anyone looking for their next romance - you are going to LOVE this book to bits! Make sure to check it out!

about book:

A billionaire-in-disguise meets career-focused lover in this sparkling and sensuous chocolate-filled romance

Chattanooga, TN – “Good cocoa is like good lovemaking. It’s best when it’s hot, sweet, and a little spicy.” Kelle Z. Riley (Undercover Cat series) channels humor and emotion in one luxurious dessert. 

Read My Lips (Sept. 7, 2021) is a lush romance gripped with desire from the very first page. 

Claire Lennox has sworn off rich, powerful men ever since her former boyfriend used her to climb the corporate ladder leaving her emotionally jaded and her career in ruins. Contractually obligated to stay within the company, she accepts a position as the director of the McClaine Literacy Foundation and remains dedicated to her work, never removing her professional guise.

Self-made billionaire, Clayton Arthur McClaine, has it all. Since selling his famous “fantasy fudge” recipe, he’s created a chocolate empire from humble beginnings. But one issue stands in Clayton’s way; his struggle with dyslexia. Desperate to resolve this before his rivals find out, he disguises himself as a factory worker to visit his own literacy foundation. What Clayton didn’t expect was his immediate attraction to Claire and her inability to see beyond his deception. 

As Clayton continues to visit Claire, their involvement juggles between steamy sessions and unresolved feelings. But with every encounter, Clayton’s mask slips a little and it’s only a matter of time before Claire finally sees his true self.

my thoughts:

Wow! What an awesome story! I just LOVED Read My Lips: A Riches Royals Novel by Kelle Z. Riley - it was such a delightful treat to read. Talk about the perfect book to kick off the Fall season with!

Clayton is a self-made billionaire. His life is gravy, except for the fact that he has dyslexia, something he struggles with.  He decides to use his own literacy foundation to seek help. Of course, he wears a disguise so that no one will recognize him - which is rather hard, considering that his face is plastered everywhere at THE most eligible bachelor. Claire is a woman who has had hear heart and career broken, but due to a contract, she must remain at the company.  So, she decides to switch positions within the company and become the director of their literacy foundation.  I'm pretty sure you can guess what happens next - Claire and Clayton meet. Their attraction is instant and they are soon ensconced in a relationship that is built on lust and lies. Except, love begins to find a way in.  Will the truth break them apart? Oh my, what a love story!

Riley has written a terrific romance story that is chock full of unforgettable characters, sexy storylines, and  top notch writing. I really enjoyed getting to know Clayton and Claire - rooting for them to make it work as a couple. Reading about their struggles, their hopes and dreams, their romance - it was so much fun to delve into their lives. Read My Lips is the first book in the A Riches Royals Novel lineup and I can't wait to read more. 

I would happily recommend this book to fans of Riley and to anyone looking for their next great read - you will fall in love with this book!
