This book had a little bit of everything! It was funny, sweet, exciting, mysterious - SO GOOD! I really truly love when the heroine has the wrong idea about the hero and he’s really just the best person ever. And I really REALLY love when both are misunderstood by others, but “get” each other instantly. The world-building is excellent. We visited several places in this book, and they’re all vivid in my mind. We finally get the inside of Zan, and if you haven’t read the first two books, (not necessary) it’s very exciting to get to know her. If you like mysteries, action, tension, secret romances, twists, turns, and happy endings, this book is for you! It’s a little reminiscent of Kathryn Nolan’s romantic suspense series. Highly recommended.

A fantastic blend of romance, banter, suspense, and mystery. This book was the total package. So were the characters, not just Nick and Zan, but Bea as well.

This book is sooooo much fun! The Bossy Prince is the third book in this series and it’s definitely my favorite! The push and pull between Zan and Nickolas in this slow burn, enemies to lovers story is so intense! This book is suspenseful yet fun. I read the ebook and I listened to the audio version. I must say that Lili Valente and Shane East did the best job of breathing life into these characters. They made the story seem so much richer that when I was reading. Loved!

The Bossy Prince is the third book of the Rugged and Royal series. Nick and Zan are the last of the Royal siblings and they are by far different than their siblings. Zan lives a life of mystery. Secluding herself from the rest of her family from a young age and living in Zurich. Nick is the party boy. Always ready for some surf, fun and adventure. What their families don't know is there is more behind Nick and Zan that what meets the eye. Zan can't stand Nick, and Nick does everything in his power to get under her skin. However, when work calls for them to work together, Zan has to set aside her distasteful feelings and pretend to be madly in love with Nick. Nick on the other hand has no problems with it. If anything he can at least make Zan see that he isn't as bad as she thinks he is and maybe just maybe they will come out of it as friends. What neither expected was they would become so much more. When Nick and Zan finally let down their guards, they realize that they have more in common than they thought. The more time they spend together, the harder is for them to resist each other. However, danger surrounds them and the dyer need to get a loved one out of the clutches of a BAD MAN takes priority. Will Zan and Nick be made? Will they survive this mission? Nick and Zan are so cute together. I really couldn't get enough of them. Of the three Royals, they are by far my favorite. Amazing story and writing Lili Valente. You never disappoint!

The Bossy Prince is the third release in Lili Valente’s Rugged and Royal series and is an absolutely fantastic enemies to friends to lovers story. The chemistry shared between Nickolas and Alexandra is off the charts hot, sexy and simply magic. Ms. Valente has been on my must read list for many years and with stories (and series) like this, it easy to see why she remains at the top of that list. The Bossy Prince is filled with love and family but also drips with fun and entertaining exchanges of banter between Nick and Zan - especially with nicknames like Dimples and Zanny Wanny. Also laced with uncertainty and dangerous situations, this story delivers it all. Bravo Ms. Valente! You’ve done it again.

Oh wow, that was fun! As much as I loved Jeffrey and Lizzie, I really enjoyed the madcap and very improbable escapades of Nick and Zan. This frenemies/in-laws to lovers, slow burn story was so engaging. Weirdly, it reminded me of more than one 80’s sitcom/drama...a la Remington Steele/Moonlighting. Yeah, I’m totally dating myself with that comment, but like those shows, this book was filled with frothy goodness. Although Zan and Nick get way more action, in and out of the sheets. Great storytelling and such a fun couple! This book can be read as a stand-alone, but grab them all and see who your favorite prince turns out to be. Lil Valente never disappoints this reader!
