Review: Royal Pain

Royal Pain by Tracy Wolff
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kian is three things: a twin, a prince, and a womanizer. His twin brother, Garrett was born just a bit before, so Garrett gets to deal with being the future king while Kian gets to show off, sleep around, and enjoy the perks of being royal with none of the responsibilities. Then, Garrett gets kidnapped, and Kian has to step it up and learn to cope with being the next in line for the throne.

Kian also meets a girl named Savannah, or Savvie, who seems like the average manic pixie dream girl. There's something about her that's different than all other girls, and Kian finds himself head over heels for her and wanting to be committed in a monogamous relationship--something he's never felt the desire to do before. While he's dealing with his feelings for Savvie, he also has to fill Garrett's place. There's also the chance that Garrett is still alive, so that adds even more stress and drama to the situation.

This romance novel seems very plot-driven, which I wasn't really expecting, to be honest. The sex scenes were long and often, but I was honestly more interested if Garrett ever returned and, if he was alive, what state he was in after being gone for months!!

Also, the sex scenes seemed very unrealistic. I don't want to be sexist and stereotypical, but this was very obviously written for women. The sex scenes were full of emotion and love more than lust. They were all about pleasing the woman and making her feel amazing more than mutual satisfaction. Also, not to be graphic, but I don't think orgasming three times in a row every single time they go at it is very realistic.

I was very on the edge about giving this three or four stars. On one hand, the writing was very choppy and lackluster. On the other hand, the plot itself was a bit interesting and this was a truly entertaining read, even if it was just chuckling at mediocre things.
