Blurb:

A small-town single mom like me has no business believing in fairy tales. 

But the very handsome, charming, dirty-talking prince (yes, seriously) I met nineteen months ago now has his fine ass and panty-melting grin planted on my front porch. 

He’s been searching for me ever since I snuck out after our fantasy-filled weekend together.

And, dammit, that’s a little romantic.

Now that he’s found me, he wants to pick up where we left off.

Because he thinks he’s in love with me.

Oh, and because he needs to get out of the marriage, his grandfather, the king, has arranged for him.

But he’s in love with an illusion. I lied to him about everything except my first name. 

The carefree, adventurous woman he burned up the sheets with for three days is actually a stressed-out mechanic back in my small hometown, raising a sassy fifteen-year-old daughter, and trying to make amends for my mean girl past. I just don’t think my grease-streaked work boots scream princess material. 

Of course, he won’t take no for an answer. 

Instead, he proposes a deal: I give him nineteen days and let him get to know the real me. 

Then he’ll either be over me, go home and marry someone else.

Or I’ll walk down that aisle.

The thing is, can a girl who’s made all of my mistakes really go from rags to royal anywhere but in a storybook?

Rags to Royals is a modern royal romance with a feisty single mom, a golden retriever prince who falls first and hard, and lots of delicious dirty talk and spice on the page. It is the third book in the Royals Gone Rogue series, but can be read as a stand-alone.

Review:

There’s just SO much to like about Cian’s story – all the girl power, sweet Cian in love, dirty talking Cian in bed, adorable teenagers, supportive family, the set up to Henry’s story … SO much goodness.

I loved the fact that Cian is the one who won’t give up on Scarlett. That their connection is such that he’s still looking almost two years later and has no plan to give up on her. And once he finds her, he’s throwing everything at her to get her to admit that she feels the same. Giving her all the charm, support, and encouragement she needs to fully embrace herself and to realize that they belong together.

I kinda understand where Scarlett is coming from. It’s a lot, finding out that Cian is a prince and everything that comes with that. She’s got an idea what her life should look like and he definitely doesn’t fit in. But the man isn’t taking no for an answer and before long she’s seeing just how well they fit. And how much he needs her support just as much as she needs his.

There’s a lot of mean girl moments, past and present, but also strength and confidence, believing in yourself & your convictions, and how you can make the world a better place. It’s uplifting and powerful and has me pulling for all of these characters. For Scarlett being a better person, for Mariah standing up for what’s right, and Cian finding where he can make a difference and the support & recognition from those he loves.

Erin has a definite style – one of humor, steam, and emotion. He characters are larger than life, with big hearts and big feels, embracing life & love wholeheartedly and without apology. I’m looking forward to seeing what she has in store for Henry, and hoping Ruby makes him work for her love.
