Reign: A Royal Romance Kindle Edition

Some fairy tales start after midnight.

The crown prince and I have nothing in common.

Kostya’s quiet, serious, and strait-laced, the heir to a centuries-old throne.

I’m the ambassador’s daughter, backpacking Europe after dropping out of med school.

He's a rugged, battle-hardened soldier who spent four years in the Royal Guard and might not know how to smile.
I accidentally got drunk at my own welcome banquet.

Sure, he’s crazy hot in a ‘fairy tale royalty come to life’ kind of way, but Kostya is way out of my league—and most importantly, he isn’t even interested. Formal, aloof politeness is all I’ll ever get from him, and that’s fine with me.

He’s a prince, for Pete’s sake, and I’m just some American girl.

But then there’s the night I can’t sleep, so I sneak onto the castle ramparts—only to discover that I’m not the only one with an insomnia problem. On the roof, far away from the demands of the state, Kostya is completely different. He’s relaxed. He’s charming. He’s pleasant. He’s flirty.

And most of all, Kostya’s definitely not the uptight, rule-abiding prince I thought he was.

I know better than to get hot and heavy with a foreign head of state, but what’s a commoner to do? He gives me smoldering, panty-fire-lighting looks from across every room. He has a secret smile that means I want you. He talks dirty to me in his mother tongue.

There can’t be an us. Kostya’s destined to marry someone politically expedient, and whatever I’m destined for, it’s not becoming royalty.

After all, aren't fairy tales just stories?

Reign is a high-heat standalone romance. It's for fans of princes and commoners, opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine stories, and anyone who loves a fairy tale ending. It's got an ex-military hero who's a little uptight and a messy, quirky heroine who brings out his soft side. It's got tons of steamy scenes, lots of spice, and of course there's an HEA.

I usually do not like Royal books, but this one was great. It had a storyline and kept me entertained. Plus, it had great, hot scenes between Kostya and Hazel. I loved the ending with the HEA, of course. This one is worth reading.

Title: Reign
Author: Roxie Noir
Designation: Full-length Standalone Novel, NO Cliffhanger, HEA
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: Five Sinfully Sexy Stars
Wow! Roxie Noir has dazzled her fans yet again with Reign, a captivating, full-length, modern-day, multi-cultural standalone love story that totally rocked my world! I loved it! In my opinion, Reign doesn't fit neatly into just one category of contemporary romance but wobbles precariously over the line into romantic comedy as well as also venturing into a little political intrigue/thriller. I fell in love with Roxie Noir's work last year after reading one of her paranormal romance series and instantly became a diehard fan. I was truly impressed with her easy to follow style and highly addictive prose. I was beyond thrilled when I discovered she also wrote contemporary romance and now I completely devour everything she writes. Her books are always exceptionally well crafted and edited, and Reign is no exception. The story is cute, humorous, heartwarming, seductive and sexy as sin. The dialogue is smart, witty, well executed and at times, laugh out loud funny. The narrative is beautifully written in the first person with clearly defined alternating his and her perspectives. But hands down, my favorite component is the remarkable cast of engaging characters. Roxie Noir is a gifted storyteller with the unique ability to create totally realistic characters who will simply steal your heart. I fell in love with the two protagonists of this story, handsome Svelorian(totally make believe) bad boy Crown Prince Konstantin 'Kostya' Grigorovich, and beautiful ambassador's daughter and med school dropout Hazel Sung. Kostya and Hazel's attraction was immediate and totally electric! Kostya and Hazel were perfect together and played off each other brilliantly, and their interaction with each other was off the charts hot! *swoon* I was immediately drawn into this story by these two engaging characters and became instantly smitten with both. Hazel is a strong, capable and sometimes brash young woman who is totally American and by that I mean, a little too loud, a little too honest, a little too outgoing, a little too sassy and totally upfront with everything including humor, sarcasm and sex. Oh my! She's a perfect combination of sophistication and naughty bad girl! She's also a real dynamo and poor serious, Kostya never knew what hit him. Kostya may be a crown prince but when it comes to Hazel Sung, he's an animalistic bad boy at heart. lol... Once they meet, despite diplomacy, matters of state, dangerous terrorists, cultural differences and their parents objections including a King trying to force a Svelorian politically beneficial match on his son, their fate is sealed. And the fireworks that ensue is beyond entertaining! Did I enjoy this book? I loved every single word! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adults because it does contain some steamy dreamy sex scenes. Yowza! Will I read this author again? Abso-freaking-lutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Totally entertained! So, if you're looking for a story featuring a sexy as sin bad boy prince falling hard for a beautiful, intelligent and very sassy American seasoned liberally with heated attraction, fiery passion, sweet romance, great sex plus a little danger and drama thrown in for good measure, then Reign is definitely the book for you! What more could you ask in a romance? Not a darn thing! Once I started reading, I simply could not stop! I laughed, I cried but by the end, I was happy, satisfied and completely entertained! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

***And FYI, Reign is approximately 350 pages but the author has generously included an additional 600 pages...her entire North Star Shifters Collection. (And Noir discloses this information in her blurb) Fortunately for me, it's a series I haven't read yet so yes I jumped on this for 99 pennies! Like Wow! How great is that!

It was nice for a change to encounter a female character with backbone and not all delicate and helpless. Even her name wasn't something you see in books lately. I loved how Hazel was always doing the wrong thing while in the presence of the royal family and she only endeared herself even more in Kostya's eyes. And when they had sex, the sparks flew and it got pretty steamy. The intrigue only added to the story line. It was an interesting and quick read. Also, there is a bonus book attached to this so don't be deceived with the length listed in the description.

After reading the ‘Dirtshine’ series, I got very curious about Roxie Noir’s other books and I was especially intrigued by this book so I decided to read it. And it was again a hit for me!

Hazel never expected when she accepted the invitation of her mother to spend the holiday in Sveloria, that she would be welcomed by the Royal Family at the train station! If she had known, the meeting would have gone totally differently. Especially because the handsome crown prince Konstantin Grigorovich was there too. But that Hazel’s life, her mother may be an elegant woman and an American ambassador, that doesn’t mean that Hazel is the perfect daughter.

Crown prince Konstantin (or Kostya like he prefers to be named) didn’t know what to think when he met the American ambassador’s daughter for the first time. Hazel was very different from the Svelorian woman he was used too. For a start, she wore leggings and she laughed too loud, two things that a Svelorian woman never would do in public. But she was also beautiful, honest and refreshing. The last thing that Kostya needs right now is a wild, American girl to consume his thoughts but that’s just what happens. He’s always been a good son but the things that Hazel makes him feel, makes that Kostya want to be bad for once.
The timing couldn’t be worse, there’s trouble brewing in his country and the last thing that he needs is a distraction. His focus should be on making sure that his country stay safe. But Hazel makes him feel things that he has never felt before and Kostya isn’t sure that he can resist his feelings for much longer.

Hazel knows that she shouldn’t long for Kostya, he’s a crown prince! And his father, the king, makes it perfectly clear that she isn’t the right girl for his son but sometimes you have to follow your heart, no matter what.

Can Hazel and Kostya really have a future together? Or was it never meant to be?

The story was again told in both POV’s, I really love the way that the writer Roxie Noir does this. It’s one of my favorite things about her writing. This is the third book that I read from her and one thing that the books have in common is the fact that the characters aren’t perfect, they have flaws BUT they all are perfect for each other! Reign is a light, easy story to read. It has some steamy sex scenes and a little bit suspense.

I especially adore Kostya’s silent, serious character, it’s totally different then Hazel’s character but I like the difference very much. I liked how he tries to make jokes to make Hazel smile or the fact he never knows if Hazel is making fun of him or not. Hazel is totally wrong for a crown prince but she was just perfect for Kostya. She saw the lonely man inside and I loved her for that.

I’m looking forward to reading more stories of Roxie Noir.

This book was actually recommended to me by another author, Chance Carter (he writes "Bad Boy" stories) and I loved, loved, loved this book, plus it only cost £0.99!!
This was a real page turner and I found it so hard to put it down. The story had everything in it. Friendships, love, drama, humour, suspense, sadness and it was not even too predictable which was refreshing. I don't mind predictability because it is always about the story and how the author gets us from point a to z. I have to say, I was not absolutely sure how this was going to end.
The two main characters were very believable. Kostya; Russian Prince, battle hardened, handsome, up-thight(ish). Hazel; beautiful, fowl mouthed, sassy, anything goes. Combine them together and you have a wonderful, sexy but still sometimes vulnerable couple. The relationships of the other characters all fit nicely together and who knows if they will have their own stories? The descriptions of the palace were lovely and the Russian "grey area" was easily imaginable from the descriptions. I would definitely recommend this book.
This is the first book I have read of this author and I will be looking for more of Roxie Noir books.

I hadn't ever read anything previously by this author, hadn't even heard of her before, but I one clicked it- a while ago, admittedly, and it just sat waiting until I read it. I just read it last night-( when I should have been packing for my son's school trip) and found the story wonderful. Somehow from the first page I was sucked into the story right to the end. It was funny, and hot and kept my attention without skipping parts. I loved it and recommend this story highly. I hope the author will continue with some of the secondary characters- the Princes friends, or perhaps Hazel's friends?

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty enjoyable, if a tad unrealistic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2022

Generally enjoyable romance between an ambassador's daughter and the prince of the imaginary country to which she was sent.

I could have done without so much foul-mouthed behaviour from the female lead but the romance was well crafted on the whole. A fair bit of what could only be described as 'rutting' by the central characters and it was hard to believe that caution would be thrown to the wind to such an extent by both of them on a number of occasions. The story flowed well if somewhat speedily and there was a HEA ending although I wasn't sure the media revelation was quite the right difficulty to use as I couldn't see it being brushed under the carpet so conveniently in real life.

Overall, worth about 3.8 stars, rounded up to 4 for an enjoyable and light read if you are happy to suspend belief in the hard realities of life.

An interesting and just a bit dirty royal romance. Lots of passion and a bit of fun thrown in. Hidden corners and sneaking around. Interesting characters and good plot. Well paced and fun read.

I like lots about this book. I enjoyed the banter and the family dynamics. I feel this was very relatable and enjoyed the way the royal went for the bad girl and not the princess type.
