About this listen

I have a hot British bodyguard in my guest room. Could be worse, I guess. Like…bats in the attic? Though bats don’t rip your panties and ruin you for all other men.

How did this happen? My sister married the prince he protects, so I now have an extra room and insisted my friend stay with me when she left her husband.

Her husband is being a real a-hole about that. Which made the bodyguard all growly and he moved in to protect us. That sounds nice, I know. But he’s my ex.

And when his best friend married my sister, we agreed to do the mature adult thing: avoid each other for the rest of our lives. Now he’s sleeping down the hall, walking around looking delicious, talking with that panty-melting accent, just…taking care of me. And giving my friend pep talks, making her little boy airplane-shaped pancakes, and making her jerk ex very sorry.

So, I really can’t be blamed for what happens in the shower—he should have been quieter if he didn’t want company—or against the wall in the kitchen. But here’s the problem: the royals have become the family he never had growing up. He’ll never quit. And I’ve spent the past 16 years helping my sister raise her daughter. Now's my chance to finally go to law school—which can't happen here in my tiny hometown.

So, we need to help my friend and nothing more. We can’t be reckless. Not with where we take our clothes off. Not with our words. And certainly not with our hearts.

Back to Cara I go, loving this series. This is Henry and Ruby's story. Henry being King Cian's bodyguard and best friend and Ruby, Cian's sister-in-law have a past that will not let them go. Why is that? Well, first meeting them in Rags to Royals, it's easy to understand why. These two had that love glue, the kind that is fiery and unable to be broken. Until it is. Now they are back together but will it stick? For years, Ruby has done things for everyone else, and now that she has the chance, she is ready to move on and away. Henry isn't ready for her to go. This is a fun and listen that has all the feels. Henry is that alpha male, the kind that is impossible to love. His love for his friend and loyalty to help others is so strong, it oozes out of him. Ruby has had a tough time, as she now has her chance, it's so easy to relate to her need to go...and stay. Loved this story and seeing Scarlett and Cian is just icing on the cake.

Zachary Johnson brings his British accent out to play and he is amazing! Making the most desirable of characters, it was easy to love Henry. Maeve York is Ruby with all the spunk and passion she has. I love how both of these narrators understand their characters so well that bringing out the emotions was effortless and made for a fabulous listen.

Back to Cara!

Ruby has no regrets about putting her dreams for the future on hold to be there for her sister and her niece. Now that her sister has found love with Cian she plans to take the opportunity to follow her own path however that decision is made more difficult by the feelings she has for Henry, her brother in-law’s bodyguard.

Henry and Ruby share a past so now that Cian, the Prince, and Ruby’s sister are together he plans to continue his pursuit of Ruby. His feelings for her are never in doubt but he is conflicted between ensuring that he is there for Cian and the love he has for Ruby and worried that he may have to choose.

The banter is humorous, their romance is heartwarming, and the emotional pull is there every step of the way. Zachary Johnson is a perfect choice for Henry as he brings the charm and charisma while Maeve York reflects the angst Ruby is feeling and you will feel it as well.

Henry and Ruby!

Enjoying the series so far!

Recklessly Rogue is book 4 in the Royals Gone Rogue series and it’s about Henry and Ruby. We got to know Henry and Ruby a little bit in the previous book - Rags to Royal, as Henry is the bodyguard of Prince Cian, and Ruby is the twin sister of Scarlett (the MCs from the previous book). They finally get their story and their HEA in this book.

So as mentioned, Henry is Cian’s bodyguard, and has been for the past 12 years. He and Ruby first met when Cian was pursuing Scarlett. This story picks up right where Rags to Royal left off. Basically, now that Cian and Scarlett are married and happy, Henry assumes that he and Ruby can just pick up from where they left off. However, Ruby has other plans that has been in the making for the posts 2+ years; she plans to move to New Orleans to go to law school. So, although they both are so in love with each other, their plans for the lives do not match, and Henry’s top priority will always be Cian and the royal family. How can they move forward when they seem to be moving in different directions?

This series has been soo much fun to read, and I’ve very much enjoyed it! This book had so much within it. I really loved seeing Henry and Ruby finally get their happy ending; they’re such selfless people, having put their lives on hold for Cian and Scarlett previously. So, it was nice seeing them together and happy. They did still have some things to overcome, and there were some family drama (especially with Henry’s messy childhood). Overall, this book had so much going for it; humour and banter; romance and chemistry; steamy scenes; and family drama to name but a few. I’d recommend picking it up if looking for a good second-chance romance with some royalty and political intrigue.

Maeve York and Zachary Johnson were excellent at bringing the story and its characters to life with their fabulous narration!

This is the fourth book in the Royals Gone Rogue series — a royally romantic standalone. I absolutely love this series! Henry and Ruby’s story is beautifully written — sweet, heartwarming, and filled with tension, passion, and unexpected twists. Henry is handsome, loyal, protective, and supportive, while Ruby is beautiful, smart, and determined. They are perfect together. This is a beautiful royal romance, one of my favorite tropes! Zachary Johnson and Maeve York did an excellent job with the duet narration. I love their voices together.

Beautiful Royal Romance!

Recklessly Rogue is the fourth book in the Royals Gone Rogue series. We have gotten to know Henry and Ruby as side characters through this series. We finally get their love story. Henry is Kian’s bodyguard and best friend. Ruby is Scarlett’s twin sister. Both have never just done something for themselves. They are usually doing everything to help others. In this book we will see if they finally can live out their dreams and see if they will line up together. I loved seeing them choose each other.

Maeve York and Zachary Johnson did a fantastic job narrating this book.
