The Bossy Prince

By: Lili Valente

Narrated by: Shane East, Lili Valente

She claims to hate me more than karaoke and liverwurst combined, and that's before she finds out I'm her new boss...

Yes, Princess Alexandra and I have both been keeping big secrets.

The spoiled royal bit is just our cover, a smokescreen we hide behind to keep our counterintelligence work from the people we love. Being spies, we can't let anyone too close.

But close is exactly what we'll be pretending to be on our first mission posing as lovers. I honestly can't decide which will be harder - taking down a notorious drug lord or keeping my growing attraction to Alexandra under wraps.

And I'm growing on her, too. She keeps kissing me when no one is looking and I find myself increasingly addicted to her lips, her humor, and the sweet side she does her best to hide beneath her tough girl exterior.

Soon, I'm determined to make this fake relationship the real thing.

I don't just want her for the length of this mission - I want her forever, and I'll do whatever it takes.

Absolutely Fantastic

Bossy Prince is the 3rd book in the Rugged & Royal Series. Nickolas Edward Xavier von Bergen, the youngest of the three Gallantia Prince and Alexandra Gertrude Renee Rochat, the “fraternal” one of the Rindich triplets have known each other since they were kids. Their relationship throughout the years has been filed with distaste and assumptions about each other. Zan’s serious, workaholic reputation followed her while Nick’s “not-caring” playboy reputation followed him. The thing is Zan and Nick had so much more in common, especially when it came to their jobs. When Nick gets recruited to work as a Spy in the same organization that Zan works for, the two are forced to work together in a secret mission, but also work together in keeping their professions a secret from their families.

I love Lili Valente’s books and this one is no different. I love the first two books in this series and Zan and Nick’s story did not disappoint. The Bossy Prince had a couple of my favorite tribes (enemies to lovers, boss/employee, fake relationship, and more). I absolutely love the way Lili creates these amazing characters who are a part of the same world yet are so wonderfully unique. Zan and Nick were very different than their respective siblings. The chemistry between the two was undeniable. Their witty banter was hilarious. It was like verbal foreplay. They were both so dedicated to their jobs, but while working on a special mission together, the two soon realize that the animosity they shared throughout the years wasn’t animosity at all - it was attraction.

I read the e-book, as well as listened to the audio, which was narrated by Shane East and Lili Valente, herself. Lili has become one of my favorite female narrators. I love the way she gives each character a unique voice that gives them their individual personality. Shane East and Lili Valente have done an amazing job with this series. I can listened to all three of the Rugged & Royal books over and over again. All three books are going to be favorites to listen to.

Awesome!

I have enjoyed this entire 3 book series and loved this as well. Three royal brothers falling for triplets is a storyline I haven’t run across before and I really liked the uniqueness of this story. The Bossy Prince, Nick, is swoon worthy and Zan (Alexandra) is a total bad a$$ and a heroine you really want to root for. Their HEA is perfectly satisfying and wraps up the series nicely. Shane East and Lili Valente were fantastic and I loved this story in audio.

Fun and suspense fake relationship romance

he Bossy Prince is the 3rd book in the Royal Package series and it’s my absolute favorite in the trilogy. Alexandra (Zan) and Nickolas have always been at each other’s throats and are seemingly opposites. However, when they are forced to work together, they discover that they have more in common than they thought.

Zan and Nickolas were so much fun. As they pretended to be a fake couple, they realized that they both had a lot of misconceptions about the other and that appearances are deceiving. The bantering between them was amusing and the chemistry sizzled between them.

I switched between the audio and the written version of the story. Lili Valente, the author, narrates Zan and as always, I adore her narration. She’s so on pointe with the nuances she imbibes in her performance. Shane East narrated Nickolas and his accent was to die for. I could feel the intensity of his feelings for Zan.

This slow burn romance with a hint of suspense was delightful and Zan and Nickolas make the perfect partners. I highly recommend if you need a light, amusing read to brighten your day.

Awesome romantic suspense! Fantastic narration!

I love this series! This time we follow Alexandra (Zan) and Nick on an intriguing and suspense filled road to a HEA. I listened to this audiobook and Shane East is perfect as Nick and Lili herself is wonderful as Zan. Zan and Nick have oodles of chemistry which makes posing as a couple for their next job rather difficult. The job of course that none of their siblings know they do.
This book has everything I want in a romantic suspense including charming witty banter between the main couple. Their nicknames are fun! Dimples, Zanda Panda, Zanny Wanny! I love it! So fun! Such an amazing story, a treat for the ears for sure. And I'm sure just as much a treat when read.

Love This Series!

A fantastic blend of romance, banter, suspense, and mystery. This book was the total package. So were the characters, not just Nick and Zan, but Bea as well.

Royals Love

Although I got I little mad with Zan in the beginning, she and Nick become fast a favorite of mine couple. Nick surprised me a lot and I swoon hard over him. There’s a lot of surprises, action and top of the notch scenes! I wish it had more steamy scenes actually, but this book is super good that I overlooked this, which is a first from me. The very end was amazing, it shocked, surprised me and just showed how awesome Nick is! In love.

I had the opportunity to listen the audiobook and honestly it was just complemented the story so well. Can you believe that Lili is not only the writer but also one of the narrator? Shane East and her made an excellent job. I highly recommend this book with you like Royals stories and a little of action. To make it better? You should read from the beginning of the series.

Great story

The final story in this series does not disappoint. Good story plot. Very entertaining. Quite enjoyable.

Undercover Fun!

This book is sooooo much fun!
The Bossy Prince is the third book in this series and it’s definitely my favorite!
The push and pull between Zan and Nickolas in this slow burn, enemies to lovers story is so intense! This book is suspenseful yet fun.
I read the ebook and I listened to the audio version. I must say that Lili Valente and Shane East did the best job of breathing life into these characters. They made the story seem so much richer that when I was reading. Loved!

Royal shenanigans!

I always enjoy Lili's royals stories. They are fun and filled with sexy royals getting into trouble. These royals add some mystery to the story by working undercover. Add in their enemies to lovers and you have the perfect storm. This story was fun, funny, and definitely sexy with some surprises along the way. Performances by Shane East and Lili Valente were excellent, as always! They work so well together and you really get lost in the story and the characters. This is a great listen for some fun!

Fun royal romance

This was my favorite of the Royals series. Nickolas and Alexandria strongly dislike each other but as they work together those feelings change. They have amazing chemistry together. I love how Lili combines rom com and romantic suspense. This story was interesting, romantic and steamy. Shane and Lili did an outstanding job with the narration.
