Bastard Prince

The fight for independence continues as Lucas struggles to be free from his malicious stepfather and seeks to keep disgrace from tainting his royal friend/brother's(?) throne. Lies are told and actions are taken that stress the bonds he has with Bryna and Sebastian. It is a crazy ride until the last lie is revealed and all the loose threads can be pulled to reveal the true ties that bind him with those he loves. There is so much going on in this half of the story as Lucas chases the truth of who he really is and Bryna fights for her place in the world. They are a really special couple.

Another great book in the series. You do need to have read the previous book in the series to get the full benefit from the story. Lucas still loves Bryna but as his life changes in front of him he decides that she could be at risk if he stays with her. But what is going to happen if he takes off? I voluntarily received a copy of this ARC for review

Hot--hot--HOT from a great author who knows how to make the temperature soar!

5 Bastardly Stars Review by Amy W. Late Night Reviewer Up All Night w/ Books Blog Nana Malone has me hooked on her words and characters! Bastard Prince is the second half of Lucas and Bryna's story and one I was impatiently awaiting. "I love you more than I have ever deserved to love someone." We pick the story up right where it left off, with Lucas learning a 'truth' from his con artist mother. His actions following her declaration spur most of the storyline throughout the book. This is book two and book one needs to be read first to get the most out of the story. Unable to look away, I knew I would never be able to get her out of my blood. She would own my heart forever. Not smart, but like I gave a fuck. Lucas and Bryna's love was put to the test, along with other relationships. I really enjoyed reading from the other various POVs and it helped to give a better understanding to events as they happened. But I did not see that betrayal coming, or more I did not see it coming from who it did. I was side swiped and left stunned. My stupid heart fluttered. Like a sappy girl who'd dreamt of Prince Charming. But Lucas was so much better than any Prince Charming. He was real... dirtier too. This duet was my first by Nana and like I said before I am now a forever fan, possibly a stalker. I love these characters and the way they interact with each other. The love and friendship that they hold for one another is commendable and I cannot wait for more. So happy that Roone is getting a story next. I think I fell in love with that brute while he guarded Lucas!

Prince Charming... After the astonishing cliffhanger of Royal Bastard, I thought all was over, but I was amazed again with all the revelations included in Bastard Prince. Lucas might be a pauper, or so he thinks, but he is truly someone's prince charming. After leaving Bryna Lucas has done many things to keep her safe and take care of the ones responsible for their separation and hardship. But things are not as easy as Lucas might want them to be. With the help of the boys from Blake security he will uncover some truths that are going to leave him with more questions than answers and in greater danger than before. All he has done and the force separation from Bryna will be all in vain. Bryna has been hurt too many times and after Lucas ran from her, right after a steamy, very hot, passionate night, he will have to do many things to get her trust back. This story has it all great intrigue, lots of action, steamy passion, love, friendship, lots of unexpected revelations, twists and turns and more passion. I'm in love with the Royals. Can't wait to see what will happen next in this wonderful series, Nana has done it again, this is truly an amazing story that will keep you at the edge of your seat and you will not be able to put this book down.

As per usual, Nana Malone has delivered a stunning sequel in Bastard Prince. If course, I had to get over my own inability to get over sections of the story in order to finish it, but I'm really glad I did. It bag nothing to do with her writing, and everything to do with my life getting in the way of my reading. Once I was finally able to devote time to read the story, I flew by it and was completely blown away!!! Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book, and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

My reading is 4.5 stars. OMG!! After the ending in Royal Bastard I was salivating to get my hands on Bastard Prince, because I needed to know how Lucas and Bryna's story concluded. Let me just say that Nana Malone did not disappoint me one bit with Bastard Prince. Yes, Bastard Prince picks up right where Royal Bastard left off, so don't think you can read this one without reading Royal Bastard first!! Like the beginning of their story, Lucas and Bryna showed us that they are absolutely perfect for each other. Although my heart ached for Lucas and what he felt he needed to do to protect those he loved especially Bryna, I loved, loved, loved the fact that Bryna was not a pushover when it came to Lucas and that she was willing to stand up to him as well as fight for him to show him that he was truly loved and what real love is, and that it was ok for him to lean on others in time of need. So, once again, Nana Malone has delivered us another witty, romantic, super sexy and steamy read that is so well crafted that you will be fully engrossed from the minute you open this book until the moment you close the book. And yes, you will still want more. I absolutely love the fact that Nana Malone always finds a way to bring in characters from her other series, and this one is no exception. Nana Malone's entire Royals series is absolutely fantastic, so if you have not read Sebastian and Penny's story already I highly implore you to do so, because you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait for the next installment in this series.

This is book #2, in the Royals Undone series. I do not recommend reading this on its own. It is intended to be read in order. To avoid spoilers, understand the series and more - please read this great series in order. Lucas and Bryna's story continues with him trusting his mom. He goes off on a mission of sorts to solve the unsolved puzzle about his parents. How they met, how he came to be, and finds more than he bargains for. Bryna is heartsick that she trusted someone that let her down. What love means to her must not be what it means to others. When her King and Queen ask the impossible, she has to decide if she can do what they ask and still survive when she has to walk away. This story is just massive. It has so many parts to it you almost have to re-read it just to keep up. I love the suspense, the heat, and the characters who are totally devoted despite incredibly low odds. Fabulous cameos by our famous favorite couple make it an all around really good read. ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest opinion.

I was sooo excited for this book. Book one's ending had me all, Noooo!! Nooo! Noo! When I started this one I was still a little sad about the way things ended. My heart hurt for Lucas and Bryna. Two people that deserved to be loved by someone special and give it back just as hard. So while I get while Lucas left, it still royally sucked, (see what I did there? haha) Anyways, this book was also just kind of a nice treat for me, because aside from Lucas and Bryna's POV's we get Penny and Sebastian in the mix as well. If you haven't read their story, do it! You won't be disappointed! Plus we get double the super-steamy scenes! Umm... thank you for that Ms. Malone! Although, I feel like my emotions were a little up and down with everything that happened in this book. Lucas and Bryna had to overcome quite a bit, but most definitely worth it in the end! I'm pretty excited for Jessa's book, but not ready for my heart to be yanked out... at least from the cliffhanger I know we'll get! If you love a good Royals series, this one is awesome! Sebastian and Penny's book was my first introduction to the Malones and their humor and passion and writing has me completely hooked. Plus I love that we get to see some of the hotties from her other books in here... Matthias and Oskar! Yum! Lots of action, plenty of drama, plus super hot scenes equals so good!

Another great read. Loved it from start to finish. Lucas does what he wants no matter who gets in his way. He has to protect those he loves. His past comes back to haunt him even though he is now a Prince and is supposed to have left all of that behind. He has a new roommate name Bryna and he falls in love with her, but Tony comes back to haunt him by saying if he does not do this, or this, then he will leave Lucas' mother and she is sick and needs help. You will not be disappointed if you get this book. Just be sure to read Roaly Bastard first as this continues from where that left off.

I thought I loved Lucas after reading Royal Bastard, but this book just solidified my undying, head-over-heels, whole-hearted infatuation with him! Bastard Prince annihilated by heart! After the ending of Royal Bastard, we were left with so many unanswered questions, and the feelings of despair and heartbreak. We felt everything Lucas and Bryna were going through. Those same emotions, along with confusion over actions taken in the first book, are carried over right into this book. Lies and treachery play a major role in this book, along with heartache and self-sacrifice. Everything we thought we knew in book one is challenged and clouded with uncertainties and shocking truths. Lucas and Bryna’s love that was found in book one faces its hardest setbacks and obstacles yet. Can their love find a way to survive, when everything is trying to tear it apart? Omg….I cannot get enough of these royals! I loved Sebastian and Penny’s story, lost my heart completely to Lucas and Bryna, and now can’t wait for Jessa’s story to come! Suspenseful, thrilling, with boundless passion and emotions, these books are royally fantastic! Do not pass them up! 5 Stars!

What a wonderful conclusion to the Royals Undone series. Lucas is devastated after hearing that soul crushing news. He is on the run without a word to anyone, including Bryna, leaving her completely heartbroken. Over the next months Bryna begins to pick up the pieces of her life, and move on while Sebastian and the royal guard are frantically looking for Lucas, fearing his life is in danger. Lucas believes he is protecting those he loves, but doesn't believe that he is worthy of the same selfless acts. Lucas and Bryna are both heartbroken and lost without the other. When they are given a second chance, they must both decide if trusting the other is worth the risk to their fragile hearts. The fiery chemistry between Lucas and Bryna is hotter than ever. There are so many questions that need to be answered. Ms. Malone unravels this story beautifully, adding in several plot twists that keep you guessing. I loved the wonderful humour that Ms Malone does so well along with intrigue and emotion that kept me totally engaged. This is a wonderful conclusion to this duet and I can't wait for their sisters story next!

Bastard Prince Royals Undone Book 2 by Nana Malone Author ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story is very Fascinating. I absolutely enjoyed reading it. This book is the continuation of Lucas and Bryna. Lucas prince or pauper he's not sure but he will never stop fighting for Bryna. If Bryna mother or anyone else finds out about Lucas royal status, they will meddle into whatever you want to call this cluster- f**k faster than you can say she's a gold digger. The story is full with a great characters. The flow of words is done just right and it's a lovely story that beautifully written. All the characters are entertaining and very enjoyable. There are some sensual scenes that are incredible romantic but explicit, scorching HOT and lovable. I really enjoy reading Nana Malone books, they are full of excitement, drama, very witty, funny and spectacular. This is the second book in this series and I absolutely enjoy reading every moment that is written by Nana Malone. This is a SPECTACULAR series, Its so fantastic I would love to read more stories involving these characters in this series. But I must say I thoroughly enjoy Nana Malone books. Even though this story has a lot of depth to the story and you will enjoy reading. I know I did!

Bastard Prince is a great addition to this series. I loved finding out what happens with Lucas, Bryna and the rest of the characters I love. The conclusion to Lucas and Bryna’s story was very intriguing and kept me captivated through out the whole story. It was a story full of adventure, suspense, love, forgiveness and family. There were a few twists that I didn’t see coming. I loved the epilogue and can’t wait for Jessa’s story.

So what is it like for a Lord to eat crow? I don't know for certain, but I enjoyed watching Lord Tressel chewing methodically. I thought Lucas was crazy, but I understand why he needed this to happen. And Sebastian had way too much fun with decreeing it be so. I thought Kings were supposed to be stodgy, but Seb is anything but. Now if he could just figure out how to get Penny to bend to his will (like that will ever happen). This book contained adventure, mayhem, treason, love, forgiveness and family. It was such an enjoyable read and I kept waiting for the next shoe to drop. So who is really behind all of the chaos in the Royal House? Only time will tell. I thought the Epilogue 2 was a good way to whet the appetite for the sister's book and I think pairing Roone and Ariel together is going to be a hoot. Straight lace/by the book versus wild and wacky and anything goes. I can't wait to see how this adventure in finding the sister plays out.

Another exceptional royal! Lucas & Bryna have won over our hearts. Bastard Prince brings Lucas' story to a close (even though it will not be the last we hear of him!) He has to learn how to sort through the truths in his life and learn who he can truly trust. Bryna has her own journey and she also has to figure out where her life is leading her. Nana Malone brought together another couple that do not fall instantly at each other's feet. They must find themselves and learn to trust their hearts. It isn't that easy when you have people in your world working against you. You won't want to put these stories down and getting a glimpse of the Blake Secuity Men will definitely help you read even more! (This is definitely a crossover series that you don't ever want to stop!) Royal Romance is something you can help but adore when it includes these Royals!

This book was everything. This is the continuation of Lucas and Bryna’s relationship, for lack of a better word. It includes so much more. This book has readers on a emotional rollercoaster with so much action, intrigue and of course, sexiness. There were some bombshells dropped at the end of Royal Bastard that had me needing more. This book put a lot of things to rest but opened up a few more doors as well. This book is very well written and you get the point of view from several of your favorite characters in this series. Oh and did I forget the sexy men of Blake Security are all up and though this one. They seem to make everything better. The Malones’ are a great team. Everything they touch is hot like fire. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This story begins where Royal Bastard left us hanging and they must be read in order. Lucas receives news that has rocked the foundation of the new life that he has built and has him questioning everything. He believes that his only option is to leave Bryna and everyone else he loves behind in order to protect them. Bryna is left devastated as she tries to move forward without the love of her life but when she is asked by the royal family to bring the missing royal home will she be able to ignore the hurt she is feeling and help? Full of intrigue, twists and suspense this story takes you on a wild ride. I loved these characters as Bryna’s feisty personality doesn’t let Lucas get away with anything and Lucas has changed from the man we first knew who only cared about himself to the man who puts everyone he loves before himself and the chemistry between them is hot. It is also great to catch up with the other characters in the royal family and I look forward to the next story about this intriguing family. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

The first installment left us with a big bang....the second installment doesn't drop a beat! Lucas is a great character. He is a much better man than he thinks he is! Bryna is a fun and strong woman. Their chemistry is fantastic. The story of treason against the royal family unfolds further with some surprising twists. The story moves quickly and wraps up this chapter with a satisfying end. I am looking forward to the next set of stories about the royal family. I received an advance copy in return for an honest review.

Bryna and Lucas. What began with a lie almost ended in disaster, yet somehow turned out to be just right. Royal Bastard ended on a cliffhanger. A shocking revelation sent Lucas' happy ending spiraling out of control. Now he will stop at nothing to protect the people who showed him what it means to love. Malone amps up the adrenaline without neglecting the heart. Bastard Prince is a tale of love, sacrifice and family. The danger is intense, the secrets are immense, but the familial connections are stronger than blood. Love can conquer anything even DNA.
