I haven't read all of the stories in this anthology but was given a mini-ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
Included in my ARC were the following:-
- Bad Boys & Bourbon by Alta Hensley - At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this. I had trouble liking the characters but by about half way through I was hooked. Both the premise & the characters were original & by the end I had trouble deciding which character I liked best.
- Royally F**ked by Lee Savino - redemption of a manchild. Interesting writing (as always from this author) with great characters.
- Mafia Princess by Natasha Knight - I hadn't read anything from this author before so was unsure of what to expect. This story had a darker feel to than the others but a great story. Even though mafia stories don't really do much for me, I really enjoyed reading this from the Hero's point of view
- Decadence by Jennifer Bene - love isn't always hearts & flowers & gentle touches. Sometimes love is being able to love someone in the way that they need.
- Royalty, American Style by Livia Grant - another quality read with a large part told from the man's point of view. Interesting take on our reality tv obsession.
I think it's unrealistic to expect to love every story you read in an anthology such as this & while not all of the stories that I did read are my favoured style, they were all enjoyable, well-written & interesting. I also really liked that 'royalty' didn't just refer to monarchies but took a broader view.
