Royal Watch, an all-new sexy, suspenseful royal romance by Stacey Marie Brown is NOW LIVE and we are on tour!





There are many stories about regular girls meeting a prince, falling in love, and living happily ever after…blah, blah, blah.

This is not that story.
As a lowly Baron’s daughter, I sit on the outskirts of the noble circle, watching the royal family from afar. Exactly where I’d rather be. To me that world was anything but magical or fantasy, their lives under a relentless microscope, controlled by traditions and expectations. I was the girl dreaming about becoming a veterinarian and surrounding myself with animals instead of people.

A wallflower who suddenly bloomed, I somehow nabbed the attention of the arrogant, but undeniably handsome, Theodore Alexander Philip Robert David Livingston.

The Prince of Great Victoria.
I never imagined falling in love with a prince, but I did.

When Theo comes back from the Royal Air Force with an extremely sexy, but extremely arrogant new bodyguard, Lennox Easton, everything is flipped upside down. Tattooed, mysterious, and cruel, our mutual hatred for each becomes even more complicated when I move into the palace, becoming the official girlfriend of Prince Theo, and now under Lennox’s watch.

Thrown in a society which controls my every move, social media viciously coming after me, and paparazzi looking for any juicy gossip, my world becomes a cage. Glided or not, my life becomes nothing like I imagined, I find myself turning to the very last person I should.

When family secrets start to surface from the past, old enemies come for revenge, along with black mail, forbidden love, and devastating revelations.

Everything is set to bring me down and even take my life.
I knew loving a prince would come with sacrifices, but when you give up everything …when does the fairytale become a nightmare?

“Theo.” I played with my necklace, disappointment heavy on my shoulders. “I can’t believe you are leaving tomorrow.”
“I know. I’m sorry.”
“How long will you be gone?”
“Almost four months.” He twisted the expensive watch on his wrist, a reminder time was ticking by. “I’ll be back mid-September. Just for the summer, really. I’ll be back before you know it.”
“Wow—if this was your way of breaking up with me, you didn’t have to go to such lengths.” I snorted, rubbing my arms from the slight chill.
“No.” He shook his head. “I don’t want to break up with you. Not at all.”
“Then why didn’t you just tell me?”
“Because.” He grabbed my arms, sidling up to my frame, lowering himself to even out our height difference. “I didn’t want to see this look on your face.”
“What utter bullshite.” I rolled my eyes.
He barked out a laugh, pulling me tighter into his warm, familiar frame. We had yet to fully cross the line, but we had gotten close. I had hoped more alone time this summer would change that.
“You know how many people outside my immediate family have called me out? Have stood up to me?” His mouth skimmed my forehead. “One. You. That’s it.” His warm breath tickled my neck, sliding down my tank top, between my very average-size breasts, making them feel like they grew two sizes, heating my body. “I had noticed you before, but that day in class felt like someone punched me. Instead of being mad at you for totally embarrassing me and putting me in my place, I was infatuated. Completely taken by you. Wanted you.” His lips skimmed down my temple to my ear, nipping at my neck.
My breath skimmed my lungs, my head tipping back. “You are trying to distract me.”
“Is it working?” His mouth moved to my jaw, both of us breathing heavily. Except I could never fully let go knowing Dalton was right there.
“No.” My palms pressed into his toned torso. Lacrosse, rowing, working out, and polo had built and sculpted his body. He was still slim and didn’t have bulging muscles like Dalton, but he kept in great shape, and I wanted nothing more than to be alone with him so I could discover more of it.

***5 Stars*** 


 Seriously? 

 Seriously? 

 That’s where things come to a halt for now?!?! 

*Takes a deep, cleansing breath* 

 Alright, I know, I know. This is a duet and a cliffhanger was to be expected...but THAT? Yeah, no. Not even on the radar. Not. Even. Close. 

 But, I shall deal… 

 Now for the review of the first 90%+ of the book. 

 As this is a duet, I’m keeping things vague, but I will say I found this read fascinating overall. The ‘inside’ look at the nobility and royalty and with the hierarchy and how, depending on where you fall in line, how much of your life is not your own definitely kept me turning the pages because you never knew just what you’d get with the various characters you were about to meet. 

 And the backhanded compliments were AWESOME! 

 As for Spencer, Theo and Lennox. Well...I will say that I LOVE Spencer, some of her thoughts drove me a little batshit at times, but she comes by them honestly so I tend to forgive them. Theo and Lennox….hhmmmm...I’m going to hold off on these two until the next book. 

 I have to admit that there were many, many times during this book that I had to remind myself just how old the majority of these characters were and the expectations put upon them didn’t always match their actual age or emotional maturity level, so the frustration with them and for them was a real one. With that said, there were a good handful that I absolutely loved and cannot wait to spend more time with them as well as see how things play out for everyone in Royal Command!
