I love this Cinderella story and her not so charming prince! Margot and Stellan come from different worlds, but the night they meet at a club in NYC they are strangers with explosive chemistry. Margot has no idea who Stellan is so when her social media pic goes viral all hell breaks loose! Of course after their smoking hot one night, and disastrous next morning, Margot ends up taking a job in Stellan's home country. Margot is looking for a new start, but when she is assigned to do a story on the Prince she knows her new start may not happen! I love their story, the drama, the tension, the passion....loved it all!!

This was a very good story. It was a little slow at first, but as I got more into the story and got invested into it I was actually enjoying reading it whereas I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites of Vivian's but it's close. I would recommend reading it and to go on a wild ride with Margot as she goes to interview the future King of Denmark Stellan that she had a one night with, and he's none to happy because he can look all he wants but there's to be no touching...hate it for him though lol just how long that lasts you'll just have to grab it up and find out for yourself.

A hot and steamy royal romance. Stellan and Margot come from completely different backgrounds but when they meet their chemistry is undeniable. These two spend the entire book hiding their relationship while Stellan's grandmother tries to get him to find a wife. Margot is not the perfect demure royal who Stellan should be falling in love with but he can't help who is heart wants and in the end an over the top romantic gesture is all that is needed for their HEA.

Not convincing

I hate giving low ratings, the story was not convincing. The ending felt rushed.
There's little to no interaction between them they spend most times in their head. I really couldn't buy this relationship.

The Wicked prince features Margot and Stellan. This book is told from duel points of view which is my favorite writing style.

Margot meets Stellan while he's visiting America. They have a night of fun. Things happen which he has to announce to her he's the Crown Prince of Denmark. It changes her life and paparazzo follow her everywhere. After her life comes unhinged, she moves to his home country for a writing job.

Turns out she is the journalist to write a story on Stellan. She is to follow him around and write an article about it. Stellan is upset with Margot. When he learns she will be following him he wants to have another night with her, however she takes her job seriously.

I really loved the banter between the two characters! I can't wait for the next book in the series!


** I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved Margot she has sass, confidence and a personalty you love while Stellan is hawt and struggling against the family arranged marriage tradition when he would rather find a women on his own and fall in love. I feel like kismet kept intervening for Margot and stellan as they meet once, then twice and made sure the second time their spark was allowed to burn longer. This book will suck you in and make you swoon, laugh, cringe, hope for the best, fear the worst and fall in love as Margot and Stellan fall for each other and deal with how different their worlds are and the struggle to decide if it is all worth it in the name of love!

The Wicked Prince was a fun, sexy royal romance. The heroine meets the prince while in America. She has no idea who he is. They have a night of passion. She ends up moving to his country for a job. They end up forced together.

I kind of like how different the main characters were. They balance each other. There are interesting secondary characters. I feel like more and more I enjoy books that take me to a different place in the world.

I voluntarily read an early copy.

Vivian really nailed the promo for this- the color scheme, the teasers, and edits- she built a whole vibe that really got me excited to read this book!. New adult? Royal? Enemies to lovers? Sounds DECADENT!

The prequel is included (and is also available for free) so you get the full story with the Prince and His Rebel.

Our prince is Stellan of Denmark- weighed down by a crown he doesn’t want, but duty comes before all else. His orderly, royal world is rocked by gorgeous, feisty pink-haired Margot. He wants her, but princes have to marry for duty, not lust, so they can only have one night. But, letting her go is next to impossible, especially when Margot re-enters his life in a professional capacity. And thus we have that age old royal trope tension- responsibility vs. love? Royalty vs. individuality? What is with sacrificing when you are royal or when you are a commoner for the potential for true love?

This story is entertaining overall, and I enjoyed the read- the pacing was a smidge inconsistent (slow at first-but we need world building) and a bit too rushed in the end. The world building overall was good and believable (sometimes “royal” genre gets a bit too unrealistic for me, but not here). We’ve got scorching chemistry, but the emotional connection took more time for me to buy into- it is a “instalove” and “instalust” situation, so I went in knowing the steam would come before the heart. The more I read, the more I bought in- and we have a fun cast of secondary characters that enrich the story.

We’ve got a good balance of steam and physical chemistry, angst drama, royal tropes, and humor. This book is definitely on the steamier side of the heat index- and our Prince has a dirty, alpha mouth. I’m ALL here for that! (and I love some steam, so extra .5 for some well done naughtiness!) Overall, I enjoyed this royal romp and am looking forward to the next installment!

My reliable one-click author does it again and proves she's a master at any troupe! You will get hooked right from the get go on Margot and Stellan's story. Their chemistry is volatile and positively electric! You really get Stellan's dilemma I think because who wouldn't fall in love with quirky tenacious spitfire Margot? Stellan is far from perfect, and it took me a while to get a good feel for him. His character shines through as he sorts through his feelings and obligations. A great read especially for fans of Royals (or quirky bada&$ heroines)!
