Just Between Us

De: Lena Hendrix

Narrado por: Charlotte North, Sebastian York

Royal King is pure mischief wrapped in a cocky smirk and a heated stare.

Five minutes in his small town and I knew he was going to be nothing but trouble. He’s an arrogant, tattooed playboy with a secret, and I’m the woman tasked with quietly cleaning up his family’s mess.

I never dreamed he could be the mysterious stranger behind my hidden, late-night messages.

It doesn’t matter what he says or how hard he tries to get under my skin. I won’t break. Not for him. Not for anyone. But when our secrets are exposed, all bets are off.

He knows the rules—just a little fun exploration. Nothing more. But one lesson leads to another . . . and another . . . and soon I realize that he’s set out to break every rule I’ve ever put into place.

I refuse to find myself melting under his gaze or swooning at the way he makes the noise around us quieter.

I can handle men like him.

Everything will be fine as long as we can keep this just between us.

Love this series

The narration was perfection! I absolutely adore this series, I just wish it was complete!

Just Between Us !!!

WELCOME BACK TO OUTTATOWNER !!!

Wow . We have all been waiting for Royal since The Sullivan Family series and he did NOT disappoint .. and dare I say that Veda is actually the biggest star of this show (besides the 100 times JP King was on the page .. SWOON !!) Her black cat attitude with still such a fun outlook on life made me see SOOOOO much of myself in her . And there is no better man for her than “Royal” James King !!! I am starting to have a hard time ranking these King men . Truly one of the best small town series I have ever read . AND MOTHER-FREAKING JP KING IS NEXT LADIES + GENTS SO PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR AN UNHINGED FATHER LIB IN JANUARY !!

This is book 3 in The King’s series and it can be read as a complete standalone - though i highly recommend reading this series in order !

This book was given to me for honest review from the author .

Everyone needs a Royal king

I absolutely love this series! The way the author started Veda and Royal's story *chef's kisses* loved it!!! Can't wait for the next book. And the audio narrators amazing too😍

Charlotte North ruins another book

Lena Hendrix is a great writer. Sebastian York is the best male narrator. Charlotte North is a horrible narrator and ruins another book.

Royal King is 🥵

Abel and MJ when Royal told them about his extracurricular 🤣

JP’s ending 😳

Veda, I love this fmc so much. She is so strong, intelligent, and independent🐈‍⬛

The gift from Royal to Veda 😳

The ending 🤯

The performance was good; however, the female narrator was breathy and all I could think about when she came on was Jennifer Coolidge.

Memorable quotes:

“You should remember that, because if you touch what’s mine again, I’ll rip your arm off and beat you to death with it.”

“You were supposed to say, Yes, sir.”
“I thought you were supposed to call me a good girl first.”

Just Between Us

This one started out a little slow for me but did get much better. It was a good listen. I love Royal!

Just Between Us

Boy oh boy. Royal king did not disappoint. I loved his character so much. And Veda was amazing! I loved how their relationship evolved and how they grew as a couple! I enjoyed this so much! I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!

Two Words - Royal King

Loved this story! I didn't want this to end. The narrators were so good. This book had everything: spice, drama, romance and comedy. I will be so sad when this series done.

Tattoo’d Cinnamon Roll Meets Black Cat Heroine

Royal runs a tattoo shop in the small town in Michigan and is one of the ring leader pranksters that his family plays on the other big family name in town, the Sullivans. Planning his next trick, including egging and a gallon of milk, he was set to watch the prank happen. Until he realized it’s the wrong car and wrong person but it was too late. Damage was done.

Royal also does online content for an app called, Pulse. He records content to help women with content to help boost their confidence. Kinda like a cam boy but with clothes on. He had a “fan” who would give him attitude but definitely stuck out to Royal. Veda is hired by Royal’s brother to go through paperwork to see if anything sticks out as odd. He’s trying to find out what his shady dad is up to.

One day, Veda is introduced to Royal and while talking she notices his skull hand tattoo. The same one as the guy she watches on Pulse. That’s when she figure out Royal is the man she can’t stop watching on Pulse. Royal can read Veda and knows that she has a Hard time letting go of control. He offers to help her relax a bit. The more time these two hang out, they realize how peaceful and happy they are with them around.

Best small town series

This is one of my favorite small town series! The town itself with all its quirks is absolutely hilarious. The antics between the Kings and Sullivans make it such a fun read. The Bluebirds Book Club is total goals!

I loved Royal and Veda. They met in an unconventional way. He’s a tattooed golden retriever and she’s a total black cat. Royal helps her break down her walls, while she lets him embrace his dominant side. Their chemistry🔥🔥🔥 Their story was so much fun to read. I loved it! And the town mystery continues to unfold giving it some action and suspense.

The Audio made the characters come to life and was done very well by both narrators.

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
