Tropes: Royal Romance/Single Mom/Small Town Golden Retriever/He Falls First/He Falls Hard
Release Date: October 2, 2024
BLURB
A small-town single mom like me has no business believing in fairy tales.
But the very handsome, charming, dirty-talking prince (yes, seriously) I met nineteen months ago now has his fine ass and panty-melting grin planted on my front porch.
He’s been searching for me ever since I snuck out after our hot, fantasy-filled weekend together.
And, dammit, that’s a little romantic.
Now that he’s found me, he wants to pick up where we left off. Because he thinks he’s in love with me.
Oh, and because he needs to get out of the marriage his grandfather, the king, has arranged for him.
Right. Even if I hadn’t lied to him about everything but my first name, the carefree, adventurous woman he burned up the sheets with for three days doesn’t exist.
I’m actually a stressed-out mechanic back in my small hometown, raising a sassy fifteen-year-old daughter, and trying to make amends for my mean girl past.
I just don’t think my grease-streaked work boots scream princess material.
Of course, he won’t take no for an answer. Shocking, I know.
Instead, he proposes a deal: I give him nineteen days to get to know the real me.
Then he’ll either get over me, go home, and marry someone else.
Or I’ll walk down that aisle.
Rags to Royals is a modern royal romance with a feisty single mom, a golden retriever prince who falls first and hard, and lots of delicious dirty talk and spice on the page. It is the third book in the Royals Gone Rogue series, but can be read as a stand-alone.
Another really fun instalment in this new series from Erin Nicholas writing as Erin Nicolle.
Cian has always been the younger brother of Fiona and Torin that I least expected to be serious or truly invested in anything. Well, Rags to Royals definitely made me rethink all of that!
Cian met a woman who turned his life upside down, spent a wonderful weekend with her then, with only a first name and no way of finding her, lost her for two years He’s been thinking about her ever since and hasn’t been able to let go of the dream of a possible future with her. When he is suddenly put in the position of marrying someone else – because his grandfathers’ wish to unite two families keeps falling apart – it becomes imperative that he find his ‘Scarlett’ to see if what he remembers about them together is real.
Turns out Henry, his best friend and bodyguard has been keeping some big secrets from him that turn out to be everything Cian wants.
Ruby is a single mum to a teenage girl – I loved Mariah – who is trying to right some wrongs from her younger years and can’t see that she deserves a life with a good guy, never mind a prince! Living back in her home town with her daughter and twin sister, she has no idea just how much of an impact she had on Cian in the short period of time they spent together in the past, though she hasn’t forgotten about him, the connection they had and how he made her feel.
Following Cian as he tries to convince Ruby that what they had that weekend they had together could be their future was a great read. Loved that Mariah was all for her mum giving Cian a chance.
Ruby’s father was a piece of work and his antics were definitely neither godly nor righteous. Couldn’t wait to see if he got his long overdue comeuppance!
This series is becoming as big a favourite of mine as the Boys of the Bayou and I’m now waiting, as patiently as I can, to find out what’s going on with Henry and his lady.
Erin Nicolle is the new pen name for NYT and USA Today Bestselling romance author Erin Nicholas. While Erin Nicholas is known for her blue-collar book boyfriends and big, boisterous found families in small towns, Erin Nicolle writes rich and royal rogues. But they both love a dirty talking cinnamon roll, a grump who is reluctantly wrapped around a feisty finger, and a gruff, protective guy who falls first and hard.
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
