A brand new modern royal romance that will sweep you off your feet! From bestselling romance author Erin Nicholas writing as Erin Nicolle!
A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.
But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety,it’s a horror story.
Prince Torin O’Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and his cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs me to inherit the crown.
But we have nothing in common. He’s a future king. And I’m perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.
So why can’t I stop thinking about him?
Maybe because he won’t stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.
And there’s also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.
Well, I could probably 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him.
And if I have to marry him 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 to get what we both want, then fine. It’s for the greater good.
It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the 𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 he gives me in the bedroom.
Fine. Maybe it does. Still, it’s only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.
But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally 𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Reluctantly Royal is the first book I’ve read by Erin Nicolle and WOW, I loved Torin and Abigail’s story! This book was classic opposites attract, with a gooey cinnamon-roll hero who falls hard and fast for a quirky, smart heroine.
Torin needs to prove to his grandfather that he is prepared to take over the monarchy and rule the tiny island country of Cara. His plan is to convince Abi — the sister of a friend who lives in Louisiana, where Torin had lived for a few years — to come to Cara and set up a system of alternative farming in the country, which is nestled somewhere near Norway. Their mutual arrangement/marriage of convenience will give them both what they want….
This story is funny, spicy, packs an emotional punch, has well-developed characters, and a well-executed plot. It was more than I expected, and an enjoyable escape into the royal world of Cara!
Reluctantly Royal is a spinoff of another of Nicolle’s series; there are a lot of secondary characters involved in this book, and I felt as if there was more backstory to their relationships with Torin. I’m sure fans of Nicolle’s will enjoy those crossovers!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
