A review by mollysbooklist
American Royalty by Tracey Livesay
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
DNF’d at 50%
I wanted to like this book so much. I love the concept but the execution was awful. Everything is very rushed. The MC’s are only in a mutual dislike briefly before the spicy stuff starts.
Don’t get me wrong I love spicy books, but these just felt super cringey. Spicy scenes are all well and good but the emotional connection between those scenes to make everything work together. This book didn’t have that and combined with the awkward writing in the spicy scenes I couldn’t finish it.
The audiobook narrator for the MMC was awful. He was too stiff and arrogant in the portrayal of the character. It just added to the awkwardness of the book overall.
