ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 4, 2019

A simple notification turns my world upside down…

The tabloids are reporting, I’ve taken the crown and run.
(Not entirely true)

As you might have guessed, I’m not an ordinary girl
and I don’t lead an ordinary life, but that doesn’t mean I always follow the rules.
This time, though, I feel compelled to obey.

Which means I have to find a king, to sit alongside my throne, or lose it all.

With only the clothes on my back, I head to the land of majestic playboys, where a royal rebel strides right into my life.

With his sultry eyes and sinful lips, he turns my world right-side up.

The press is calling him washed up.
(I think he’s anything but)

Gorgeous, sexy, irresistible, and utterly charming, he’s exactly what I’m looking for.
Everything is almost too perfect, too easy.

Until I discover, this hot-blooded royal has a reason for being here.
And it’s more than just me.
That thing I said about easy, turns out… Nothing ever is.

My royal rebel has a name, it’s Prince Adrien Laurent.
My name is Princess Victoria Blanchette.
And this is our story.

REVIEW: WASHED UP ROYAL by Kim Karr is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romance story line focusing on Princess Victoria ‘Tori’ Blanchette of Alexandria, and world champion yachtsman, Prince Adrien Laurent of Eastwood.

Told from dual first person points of view (Tori and Adrien) as well as several third party ‘media’ observations WASHED UP ROYAL follows Princess Victoria ‘Tori’ Blanchette in the aftermath of the breakdown of her relationship to Prince Maximus of Casanovia. Upon the recent death of her father, King Stephen of Alexandria, in order to sit upon the throne as Queen, Tori and her best friend/assistant set up a series of one on one meetings to procure a potential candidate as spouse and King. A one-night stand finds our heroine face to face with her future, a man she has no idea as to his true identity, but the man with whom Tori will fall in love. Enter Prince Adrien Laurent, the ‘washed-up royal yachtsman’. What ensues is the quick building romance between Tori and Adrien, and the potential fall-out as our couple are targeted by an unknown source.

The Royal Marriages Acts mandates the princess wed a suitable mate before she is able to ascend to the throne. The number of less than worthy candidates continues to grow until Tori meets her one-night stand, the man she hasn’t stopped thinking about, and the man she knew nothing about. After the most recent boating accident Prince Adrien Laurent found himself without a direction in life but meeting the woman he would grow to love found our hero looking forward to his own happily ever after.

The relationship between Tori and Adrien begins as a one-night stand where neither one knowing the other’s true identity. As the days pass, Tori and Adrien can’t stop thinking about one another, but it is only the invitation to meet the Princess Victoria Blanchette will Adrien realize the truth about the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Tori’s best friend Rachel Smart; Prince Maximus; Adrien’s siblings Truman and Elizabeth, Prince Julius Churchill Monaco of Wimberly, and Prince of Catalina Spencer Lexington, as well as a number of elder royals, politicians, and advisors.

The world building looks at the royal families, representing the five Vespa Isles; their interactions, political structure, and the round the world yachting event pitting the royals families against one another. The patriarchal and misogynistic line of ascension forces our heroine to search for a suitable mate, a mate who is worthy of the title of king.

WASHED UP ROYAL is a fun, sexy and sassy romantic comedy with a little bit of drama and life-threatening conflict. The premise is engaging and captivating; the romance is spirited and spicy; the characters are colorful and playful. WASHED UP ROYAL is a delightful and animated story of royals, lovers and happily ever after.
