Synopsis

One of PopSugar's Top Summer Reads of 2021!

An ordinary summer goes royally awry when a prince and princess move next door, bringing their handsome bodyguard with them, from New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle.

Piper Evans: elementary school teacher by day--avid romance reader and anonymous podcaster by night. She has a quiet, reclusive life, taking care of her mother, who lives with mental illness, avoiding her regrettable ex, who bartends in town, and trying to make inroads in the tight-knit island community that still sees her, five years in, as an outsider.
And she's happy with how things are--really--until British royals rent the property next to hers and their brooding bodyguard decides she's a security threat. Piper quickly realizes that one person's fairy tale is an ordinary woman's nightmare as a media frenzy takes over the island and each run-in with Harrison Cole is hotter and more confusing than the last. But beneath Harrison's no-nonsense exterior lies a soft heart, one that could tempt a woman who's sworn off attachments into believing in white knights.

But when Piper finds herself smack in the middle of a royal scandal that rocks the island she'll need more than Harrison's strong arms to shield her--she'll have to do a little rescuing herself. With careers, hearts, and friendships on the line, Piper and Harrison will have to decide what they're willing to give up for a chance at their own happily ever after.

Happy book birthday 🥳📚💞🎉 Yes! Yes! A big yes!

Goodreads review by Chelsea on November 21, 2022

Who doesn't love a good royals rom-com? This story is heavily influenced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but as side characters, because the real focus is on their bodyguard, Harrison, and 2nd grade local teacher/ girl next door, Piper. I equally adored the hilarious, laugh-out-loud banter and th......more

Here is the scoop.... Piper is a school teacher by day and avid romance reader with her own "anonymous" romance podcast on the side. She is also caregiver for her mom who loves to bake pies. She was a breath of fresh air. I love a good rom-com and throw in the royals renting a house next door, a hot......more

As soon as I started reading The Royals Next Door I had a feeling I was reading the best book ever. The story pulled me in immediately. The book is written in first person, following Piper who was so easy to relate to. We two, we are pretty similar, us both being book reviewers and know how it is to h......more
