So this was quite a different book to what I usually read, and my first MMF read! I feel like this book is written really well, and allows you to love the characters and root for them throughout the book. I read this book really quickly as I couldn't want to find out what happens next.
I prefer more of a slow burn usually and would have liked the book to be slightly longer, but I did fall in love with both male characters still! I will be looking into more books by this author now as I love the way she writes!

Chelsea is an over-protected woman, who breaks out of her usual life to meet Griffin and in turn, his friend Ford. She doesn't realize that Griff and Ford have a past that is surprising, until they form a menage. Each character has undiscovered depths and histories that slowly enfolds at just the right times. This story has angst, frustrations, curiousity and unexpected twists. As usual Kelly ensnares us right from the beginning and holds our attention (and our breath) until the last word is savoured! Bravo Kelly, Bravo.

Thank you NetGalley for providing this copy. The opinion expressed in this review is solely my own.

Kelly Jamieson’s books are always hot, but this one raises the bar on steamy. When Chelsea meets Ford she thinks he’s hot, but quickly realizes he’s gay. While their friendship blooms, Ford offers to let Chelsea move in with him. When Chelsea meets Griffin, Prince of Eria, there are unexpected twists. I don’t want to give anything away, except to say this is a terrific story and you won’t want to put it down!

This story was just delicious. It hit quite a few of my favorite romance genres, ménage, guardian protector, friends to lovers and royals. I was delighted when I saw Kelly had gotten back to her ménage stories once again. This is about Chelsea Alderich who works for a non-profit company, who has an over protective rich Dad who won't give her independence. She meets Ford Sullivan a US Attorney in Special Litigation, who overhears her bad date making her uncomfortable and steps in to rescue her. I loved watching their relationship grow from casual acquaintances to friends, to so much more. Because he's on a date with a guy, she guesses he's gay. He doesn't tell her until later he's bi.

Later at her Dad's fundraising gala, she is introduced to Griffin Marlow. He's crown prince of Eria and in the states as his foundation to help Veterans is expanding here. They immediately hit it off and he's intrigued by this genuine woman who isn't overwhelmed by his status. As they spend more time together they begin to fall in love, but know it's temporary as he has to go back home. She has moved into her gay friend Ford's condo at this point to finally break away from her Dad and has to keep who she's dating secret so the press doesn't find out.

Later when Griffin picks Chelsea up for a date and meets Ford, sparks fly. It's obvious immediately they have history. This set up a fabulous story of two men, once lovers in Afghanistan, reunited and the woman they are both in love with.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is definitely something really different from what I'm used to reading. Also, I thought this was a love triangle but it was actually a menage. I still enjoyed it though. It was really hot and steamy. It was very well-written, I could feel the connection between them and really held my attention. I couldn't put the book down. I completely devoured this book. This is a really unexpected but amazing read.

Royal menage!

Ah - back to where it all began for me! I was drawn to Kelly's books with the threesome concept and while I love her hockey stories - there's just something about the love triad that gets me!

This one has a royal turn to it and it was interesting to see the pairs meet and bond separately, but when they join together - they combust!

Their way together isn't easy and there were some hard moments and what I would suspect are common throuple issues. There's also a cameo in here that true Kelly fans will squeal about!!

Entertaining read with heart!

I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy through the publisher via Net Galley.

Chelsea rarely goes out on dates and is tired of her sheltered safe life. Chelsea fantasizes about her gorgeous friend Ford and is happily dating Prince Griff. That is, until Ford and Prince Griff meet. If you're a fan of romances that are complicated and full of angst, steam and all the feels, then you need to read Royally Indecent!

This author is hit or miss for me and this was a miss. Even after reading the blurb, I was still lost for a good chunk of the book. The whole situation between all three just never made sense. The heroine never seemed.to grow at all and with the age difference it was just kind of gross.

Two perfect and easy to Love!

I went into this book completely blind. I didn’t even ready the blurb. Knowing anything this author reads I’ll love I dove right in. Oh boy I was so not disappointed. I mean it’s so hard to write two good characters but three. Wow! The character development in this book was amazing. The author writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shockingly intimate I have become a huge fan of this author. The author writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

Authors Blurb: Chelsea Alderich
From the moment Ford rescues me from a bad date, I feel a spark. Too bad he’s gay, but he quickly becomes my best friend. And a roommate I can’t stop having hot dreams about. Then, at a charity gala, I meet Prince Griffin of Eria, a reformed playboy who runs a non-profit for veterans. And it isn’t long before flirting turns into falling in love.

Griffin Marlow
This American girl is messing with my head. I can’t stop thinking about her. She’s sweet and pure, and I’m falling hard, but there’s no way we can have a future together. I’m only here in the U.S. temporarily. I have to go back to Eria to take my place in line to the throne.

Ford Sullivan
Chelsea’s my best friend and my roommate, and even though my feelings for her are more than friendship, I won’t touch her unless she wants it. I know she’s seeing someone else, and to be honest, I’m a little jealous. Until I walk into our apartment and meet her new boyfriend Prince Griffin of Eria. Then I’m freakin’ ballistic.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in multiple POV one of my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

A prince, a warrior, and their queen. Three individuals connected in the past and the present.
Chelsea was somewhat sheltered by her overprotective father. She has a kind heart and is one who falls easily and trusts easily. Ford is a former military, an Assistant US Attorney, he didn’t have the best life, but used that for motivation to became the man he is today. Griffin is a playboy prince, who doesn’t want to become King of the small country he is from.
The three of them are very different, yet together they are perfect for each other. They each bring something different and they balance each other out perfectly. However, with three people involved things can get complicated when it comes to feelings and emotions being involved.
This story does take a little bit of time to really get into the meat of their relationship, but I loved all the background details of the past connections and seeing the individual relationships develop first.
If you’re looking for a second chance, MMF, royal, age gap romance this is one to check out.

This was an interesting take on a ménage relationship. Chelsea who’s a little on the naïve side but is starting to come into her own and out from her father’s opinions on how to live her life. But, never in a million years did she think that she would be attracted to different men. One that started out as just a friend and another who lives a totally different life from hers. Ford and Griff have their own issues that they have to resolve but they are united in their love for Chelsea. This was an easy, steamy read, perfect for the summer!

4.5 Stars for Royally Indecent
I love Kelly Jamison’s style of writing and I loved Rhythm of Three so Royally Indecent was always going to be on radar and for me Chelsea, Griffin a playful prince and Ford a US Attorney was as good if not better than Rhythm of Three. The chemistry is off the charts but it’s the love these three share that really take this steamy, entertaining thread to another level. If you love ménage romances with just the right amount of angst mixed in this is the book for you. Great characters, great story all add up to a great read.
I was given a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley.

Royally Indecent is a throuple story between a Royal Prince who feels trapped, a young naive, good hearted woman, and a slightly jaded Assistant U.S. Attorney. The romance is a bit slow in the start due to giving these three time to develop their relationship. Once it picked up, I really liked them together. It was a hot read, but also a very loving read. The author addresses the challenge of not only facing backlash as a throuple, but also the challenges of family acceptance, and that minor detail of one of them being a prince. Overall a good read with a great ending!

I really, really enjoyed this book! The characters & their emotions were realistic and raw. There was a fair amount of angst but just enough hope to blunt the pain. Truthfully I didn’t want it to end. The relationship between the main characters is somewhat outside the norm in mainstream society. But what I love the most about the romance genre - and its authors and readers - is that there is no judgement on how or who you love. That love is the only important thing in life no matter how you define it or express it. Definitely add this one to your must read list!

Thank you Publisher and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my review

This is my first throuple and i loved it!!
Chelsea did not expect her date to go bad but then a hot guy, Ford, steps in to rescue her from the rude date. She falls for him immediately but knowing he was gay, she expects nothing from him. Soon they become best friends and Ford helps her to live on her own, as she always lived by the rules of her father. When Chelsea meets Prince Griffin, they both feel attracted to each other and goes to dates but have to keep it a secret from Ford, as he is the prince. Everything takes a turn when she finds out that Ford and Griffin know each other.

It has an incredible character development. I can't choose one person as my favourite because all three are essential and has a story that made them who they are.

I recommend this to everyone who likes throuple and red white and royal blue.

The rich fully fleshed out characters jump off the pages and into your imagination. This book is very addicting.

3.5-4 stars.

Starts off slow and kind of drags for me until about the 40% mark. Once it hit there it got super entangled and interesting. Then it just kind of ended. Not sure if there is more to come for them or if this was it.

Chelsea has grown up pretty sheltered and wants to venture out in life. When she meets Ford they both happen to be on dates. He is with a man so she assumes he is gay and they start to form an amazing friendship. When Ford offers for her to move in with him she doesn't even really have to think it through she needs space and freedom from her dad.

Ford, he isn't gay but bisexual and his feelings for Chelsea are becoming more than friendship. He can't bring himself to tell her in fear of ruining their friendship and losing her.

Griffin is the Prince of Eria. He is in Chicago on business and meets Chelsea at a charity gala. He can't help but be smitten with her and they start forming a relationship. While he is very much in the public eye they have kept themselves pretty private. Until he picks her up for a date one night and Ford walks in.

See Ford and Griff now each other and now Chelsea is in the middle. But can being in the middle be a good thing?

Interesting story

Kelly Jamieson is steaming up the pages with this fresh take on a menage with a twist! I loved each character individually and there was a whole lot of goodness to this story, both sensually and heartwarming but I wanted a little more oomph overall.

Chelsea is sheltered but sincere and watching her grow into herself and who she wants to be as a person was fulfilling.

I loved Ford from the moment he stepped onto the page. He's accomplished and has a take-charge mentality that has carried him far, but beneath it all he's sincere and such a sweetheart.

Griffin is structured and rigid in his royal life, but he's such a down-to-earth fun person when he gets to truly be himself.

I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a triple connection between a group of characters that are both fun and endearing. I was rooting for them from start to finish.

I loved Rhythm of Three by this author so when I heard that she was coming out with a new menage romance, I just had to read it immediately. I like a story with my menages and I felt this one delivered. I adored both the playful prince and the honorable US attorney, but the sweet naïve heroine was not really my cup of tea, at first. As the story progresses and Chelsea starts to come into her own, she started to grow on me. The book is told in triple point of view in first person in a current timeline as well as a small partial flashback to the military pair's deployment time in Afghanistan. And for fans of the previously mentioned novel, there’s a cameo by Kassidy, Chris and Dag near the end!

Thank you to Netgalley and Kelly Jamieson for the free copy provided for an honest review.
