Publisher's summary

A marriage of convenience between a dirty-talking prince and the socially awkward scientist who brings him to his knees...

A marriage proposal from a deliciously handsome and wickedly charming prince sounds like a fairytale.

But for a nerdy scientist with severe social anxiety, it's a horror story.

Prince Torin O'Grady, with his mischievous blue eyes and cocky grin, is always in the spotlight. And he needs to marry me to inherit the crown.

But we have nothing in common. He's a future king. And I'm perfectly happy slogging through mud in my work boots.

So why can't I stop thinking about him?

Maybe because he won't stop texting me. And sending me gifts. And making me feel like everything I find awkward and weird about myself is special and amazing.

And there's also that little detail of him offering me my dream job and telling me that together we can change the world.

Well, I could probably work for him.

And if I have to marry him temporarily to get what we both want, then fine. It's for the greater good.

It has nothing to do with the way he kisses me. Or that dirty mouth. Or the royal treatment he gives me in the bedroom.

Fine. Maybe it does. Still, it's only a year. Then I can turn in my tiara and come back to my normal, boring, behind-the-scenes life.

But Torin is determined to turn me from reluctantly royal to royally his.

10 out of 10 performance for this cute royal story

This is a really adorable story that I listened to within the day because the duet performance by Jason Clarke and Shaina Summerville is a 10 out of 10. Jason Clarke is one of my favorite narrators and this performance of Reluctantly Royal is no exception - his slight Irish accent is spot on and both he and Shaina really made this very cute story come to life.

Reluctantly Royal is a marriage of convenience coming off of instant attraction between Torin, a prince who needs a wife to be taken seriously, and Abigail, the introverted, anxious genius who wants to use her talents to create sustainable farms. They are complete opposites but their chemistry is fire. Torin has a very dirty mouth and uses it well. There are scenes where he encourages Abigail to use her words too which is spicy but also made me giggle.

Abigail's reluctance to get emotionally involved was frustrating but by the end of the story, I understood her perspective better. This story was overall fun, very spicy, and just a good time. I think listening to this one made some of what I thought were repetitive scenes not too bad because of the performance but I am not sure if I would have enjoyed this book as much if I had read it.
