Cheeky Royal (Winston Isles Royals Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Nana Malone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 3,191 ratings
I'm the worst royal guard in the history of of the Winston Isles.

I'm not kidding. Turns out, if you accidentally set even one Duke on fire, everyone calls you 'Calamity Penny' for the rest of your life. So when the king sends me to drag the wayward prince back home, I think it's some kind of joke.

Except it's not.

Turns out my "Bad at my job" schtick is exactly why I've been chosen for this job no one else wanted. It seems the prince can spot a guard from a mile away. So he'll never see me coming.

I'm supposed to find him, get him to trust me, and convince him to come home, completing my mission and finally making my parents proud. Easy right? Wrong.

Because I'm not allowed to tell him who I am. That's right, I'm going undercover as the girl next door. To make matters worse, no one told me is that the prince is sex-on-a-stick who thinks I smell good.

How the heck am I supposed to do my job and not fall for this Prince Charming?

Before I knew what was happening, Len jumped up, wrapped her arms around my neck and straddled my hips as she tried to get even higher up off the ground.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, entertaining and enjoyable read that you will not be able to put down
    Reviewed in Australia on 1 December 2024
    A quick read gives us the story of Prince Sebastian who is first in line for the throne and it’s the last thing he wants, he finds out his father has two other children out there, so he goes out searching in the hopes that one of them wants to be next in line for the throne.
    Penny is a Royal Guard and when the King asks for her move in next to him and watch over him to keep him safe.
    Sebastian and Penny have incredible chemistry and there are some dramas, twists and turns and be warned it does end on a cliffhanger! It is an enjoyable, entertaining read and I will definitely be getting book #2.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and I am writing this review voluntarily

    4.0 out of 5 stars Raw and sexy
    Reviewed in Australia on 1 April 2018
    After losing contact with Sebastian after he left to attend boarding school at the age of eleven, Penny was shocked to be asked to help Guard and persuade the now grown Prince Sebastian to go back home.

    These lead characters are so much fun, they get themselves into some jams..okay mainly Penny...but it's very humorous. They are such likeable characters too, very believable as so called 'normal' people in New York. The chemistry between them is extremely volcanic.

    Cheeky Royal is a fast paced story that is very easy to read, a 'feel good' book if you will. I enjoyed the wonderful descriptions of the different locations, New York especially. Through the detailed descriptions readers get a clear visual of the characters and scenes.

    The sexual tension between Penny and Sebastian builds up to a crescendo then explodes like a volcanic eruption. It's raw, sexy and hot as hell but also intimate and romantic too.

    Warning this is a cliffhanger...I'm already looking forward to the next book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Review: Royals Undercover 1: Cheeky Royal
    Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2019
    Cheeky Royal by Nana Malone is the first book in her Royals Undercover duet. As I am eagerly awaiting the release of Return of the Prince, I thought I would go back to the beginning (from what I can tell) of these ROYAL stories and read Sebastian And Lucas' tales. I was not disappointed at all! Sebastian and Penny's story is off to a fabulous start. Hot and steamy, filled with subterfuge and a little bit of angst, even knowing the events from reading books further into this world I was enthralled with every page. Enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful read
    Reviewed in Australia on 3 April 2018
    I have really grown to look forward to new books from this author. I'm guaranteed to get an interesting story with wonderful, playful characters in a well written book. While this book borrows characters from the author's other duets (Shame, Deep, etc) this story takes place outside of that environment. It isn't standalone so be prepared to have the story spread over 2 books but this allows a depth to the story that you just couldn't get in a shorter format. Looking forward to book 2.

    I was offered a free copy of this book and it did not advise that it is a 2 part story. Since I prefer to read a book that is a complete story, this was disappointing, and colored my opinion. The story is 'okay' but there is too much blasphemy for my liking. There are so many other expletives to choose from!

    Unfortunately, I bought this book without reading reviews. The story is pretty entertaining; I'd have given it 4 stars, until it ends in the middle of the story. Not even a HFN.

    Zum Inhalt:
    Sebastian ist der Thronnachfolger. Er will das aber nicht. Deswegen macht er sich auf der Suche nach seinem verlorenen Bruder auf. Die Schwierigkeit dabei: Sein Bruder muss erstmal aufgeklärt werden und offiziell zum Prinzen gemacht werden.
    Dann ist da noch Penny, die neue Nachbarin von Sebastian. Sebastian verfällt ihr sofort, aber er darf das nicht. Er muss sich auf seine Aufgabe konzentrieren. Außerdem darf er seine wahre Identität nicht verraten.
    Was er aber nicht weiß, ist, dass Penny einen Undercover-Job nachgeht...

    Meine Meinung:
    Ich habe dieses Buch gelesen, weil ich mal wieder Lust auf eine royale Geschichte hatte. "Cheeky Royal" ist bisher nur auf englisch erschienen.
    Der Schreibstil hat mir gut gefallen. Es wird abwechselnd aus Pennys und Sebastians Sicht erzählt. Das finde ich gut gewählt, den beide haben Geheimnisse, die sie voneinander nicht wissen, aber immer war ich als Leserin im Bilde. Dadurch werden die Gedanken und Gefühle von beiden deutlich, was ich gut finde. Sonst lässt sich das Buch schnell und einfach lesen. Es hat einiges an Humor, was mir ganz gut gefallen hat. Was mich ein bisschen genervt hat, ist, dass bestimmte Phrasen immer und immer wieder verwendet werden. Das macht das Buch ein bisschen repetitiv.
    Die Handlung des Buches ist okay. Der Klappentext des Buches, verspricht nicht viel und so ist es am Ende auch. Es gibt einige Intrigen und Geheimnisse, die nicht von Anfang an klar sind. Das gab dem Buch immerhin mehr Spannung. Die Handlung ist sicherlich auch nicht realistisch, aber welche royale Geschichte ist das schon? Es gab trotzdem einige schöne Momente.
    Außerdem sollte man beachten, dass in diesem Buch sehr viel Erotik und erotische Szenen zu finden sind. Aus dem Cover kann man sich das bereits denken. Die Sprache ist dementsprechend auch etwas derb, was mich persönlich aber nicht stört.
    So ähnlich wie die Handlung, ist die Beziehung zwischen Penny und Sebastian insgesamt eher oberflächig. Es gibt Ansätze, die der Beziehung ein bisschen Tiefe geben, aber längst nicht ausreichend. Ich habe tatsächlich auch nicht mehr erwartet, aber es hat mich doch ein bisschen genervt, dass der Fokus auf Äußerlichkeiten so groß war.
    Sebastian ist ein bisschen dieser typischer Bad Boy, auch wenn er sich nun versucht zu ändern. Penny ist tollpatschig und eigentlich ganz liebeswert. Sie ist was ihre Berufung anbetrifft ein bisschen in der Findungsphase, weil sie einen Job macht, den sie eigentlich nicht mag. Aber wie gesagt, es bleibt alles eher ein bisschen oberflächig.
    Das Buch endet tatsächlich mit einem blöden Cliffhanger, den ich nicht habe kommen sehe. Das lässt mich nun ein bisschen im Zwiespalt, ob ich die Fortsetzung, womit die Dilogie abgeschlossen wäre, noch lesen möchte. Einerseits möchte ich wissen, wie es weiter geht, andererseits denke ich nicht, dass das Band 2 viel besser wird als Band 1.
    Nunja, man sollte also nur die Geschichte lesen, wenn man bereit ist, beide Bände zu lesen oder wenn man gut mit Cliffhanger umgehen kann. Sonst war es ein nettes Lesevergnügen für Zwischendurch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fab, passionate read!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 March 2019

    This is a fun, fab book with lots of amazing characters and is a blast to read!
    The story is about Sebastian, Crowne Prince, who is wanting a different life to what has been set for him and Penny, a Royal guard, who also wants a different life from what is expected of her.
    The pair are thrown together and neither is being totally truthful with the other but regardless a romance blossoms and their friendship and passion shine through.
    I loved the way this was written, the dual person view and the little arguments each had with themselves, these made me smile and made the characters more real to me.
    I hadn’t read any reviews so wasn’t aware that this ended on a cliffhanger (not my favourite thing at all as I’m too impatient!!) but it was still an incredible book and I’ll just go download the next book to see how it finishes!

    5.0 out of 5 stars So much more than just a typical royal romance.
    Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2018

    Sebastian and Penny have a chemistry that can’t be denied whether it’s royal or not!
    This is a couple that is destined to be together. But the question is can they? Here’ a Prince looking to strike out on his own and the royal guard person (a girl) who is assigned to watch and protect him. So ok that’s part of the set up for the story, but there’s so much more to it above and beneath the surface. I don’t do spoilers. So you have to read the blurb I’ll tell you what I found in this book. This story has intrigue, smiles, laughs, swoons, angst, a good plot line, tears, and heat very good heat! It brings all the feels and makes you appreciate what people in the position of royalty go through as well as the people who watch over them. Seriously, it can’t be easy living in a fish bowl. We see them and imagine they have it all. However, what they don’t have is their freedom. On the other side, we see what the guard goes through and we get to see how hard it is in society for a woman to break the seal of what has traditionally become a man’s post. In all this you get the understory that’s going on. I’m telling you this book has it all. There’s story inside story here and you’ll want to know about everyone involved. As you can tell I really enjoyed this book. As the saying goes there’s more than meets the eye going on here. I can’t wait to read the next story. To the author I say, Well Done You!

    ALERT! This story ends in a cliffhanger!!!
    What I liked mostly about this book is that the heroine is in charge of guarding the hero.
    Penny’s family has been guarding the royals of the Winston Isles since the 1700’s. Penny has been given a job that she is not quite sure she can do. In fact, she says no to the King until circumstances that involve her boyfriend forces her to say yes. Her point of view was very fun to read about and lovable.
    The relationship between Sebastian and Len/Penny was really good, it was not rushed the chemistry was huge and the pace of the relationship was really nice. In addition, the drama created by the characters were fun to read about. Oh, I did absolutely love Ariel.
    Prince Sebastian has had enough of the royal agenda. He was a spoil t rich kid. But, gets some shocking news that made him go off the radar. Now no one can locate him and if someone did, he would just run off. Penny is sent to guard him and persuade him to come back home.
