Royal Prick: A British Stepbrother Romance by Nikki Wild is a light and airy story, alternately narrated in a direct and fast-moving manner by a Gwendolyn and her stepbrother Tristan. Tristan is the bastard son of a lord, born out of wedlock, and when their father announces Gwendolyn’s mother is pregnant with a legitimate heir, the only way bad boy Tristan can rightfully inherit his father’s estate is to marry a gentlewoman before the child is born. What woman in her right mind would ever consider marrying him in such a short time? Did I mention Gwendolyn is also a matchmaker? When Tristan appears in her office to seek her help in finding a wife, her repressed teen crush for him flares up and you can see where this is heading….she wants Tristan for herself, and he wants her, but can they be honest with each other? And can they survive the scandal that is sure to follow? This is a quick, fun story with lots of steamy sex and an HEA. My book included two bonus books. There are a few errors – ‘two’ for ‘too’ and ‘our’ for ‘your’, but generally it is well edited and a pleasant read. 4 stars.
