Sebastian is trying to run and hide from his responsibility of being a prince and becoming a king. Wanting to just do his own thing and enjoy his photography he sets out to find his long-lost brother. Upon meeting his new neighbour he realizes that he is in trouble as he starts falling for her. Penny is requested by the king to head to New York and keep an eye on Sebastian but does not let him know who she is. Trying to keep up the ruse and keep her identity a secret she falls for Sebastian more then she did before she took the job. Keeping secrets always find a way of coming out.
Cheeky Royal is an edge of your seat, page-turning romantic suspense. This was my first Nana Malone book and will not be my last as the minute I finished this I picked up Cheeky King to see how the story ends. The cliff hanger at the end of this book is a total OMG moment. I am not huge on cliff hangers as I do not have the patients to wait for the next book but when they are written well, like this one, they make you eager for the next book. I loved the banter and sexual tension between Sebastian and Penny and was happy when they finally gave in to each other. I can not wait to see how this story ends in Cheeky King.
This was also my first audiobook narrated by Shane East and I truly enjoyed his voice. He really captured who Sebastian is and made me feel like Sebastian is a real person. Andi Arndt was the first female narrator I had listened to and is one of my favourite narrators. She always does a great job and truly gets into the character.
