I have loved each of the Pickle family and the Royal family books but Royal Escape is my favorite。Princess Lili wants to experience life before she has to marry someone the crown chooses。 Who would have thought that she would have so much fun checking off the things on her to-do list? Meeting the masked man was so hot and her Instagram friends were great。 This story was steamy, fun, sexy, filled with friends, road trips, and a little sad because she couldn't tell anyone who she really was。 The e I have loved each of the Pickle family and the Royal family books but Royal Escape is my favorite。Princess Lili wants to experience life before she has to marry someone the crown chooses。 Who would have thought that she would have so much fun checking off the things on her to-do list?

Princess Lili really is a hot mess, but she's so entertaining that's for sure。 She feels the need to escape from her royal duties so she manages to make it to America & start living for herself as influencer Indigo Flame to make sure no one figures out who she really is。 In the beginning of this entertaining new journey, she comes face to face with artist Jesse at the hotel she's staying at, & they forge a connection, but wait, there's more。 She goes to a masked ball as Indigo Flame & meets a ma Princess Lili really is a hot mess, but she's so entertaining that's for sure。 She feels the need to escape from her royal duties so she manages to make it to America & start living for herself as influencer Indigo Flame to make sure no one figures out who she really is。 In the beginning of this entertaining new journey, she comes face to face with artist Jesse at the hotel she's staying at, & they forge a connection, but wait, there's more。 She goes to a masked ball as Indigo Flame & meets a masked man there and the sparks flying, so they act upon those intense sparks。 Obviously things are going to get complicated since she's a Princess under the radar trying to be a normal person, with two men she's in her path。 Royal Escape is a laugh out loud, super hot entertaining read that took me no time to devour in one sitting, but it's hard to say goodbye to the goodness of this trilogy that I love so much! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 。。。more

Outstanding end to a series。 I loved the independent spirit of Princess Lili。 This book was full of unexpected twists and turns。 This series is a must read。

Don’t let someone read this in the car because the windows will fog right over: Steamtown USA, population ROYAL ESCAPE。Princess Lili of Avalonia has oats。 Wild ones, and they need to be sown。 The groundwork is already laid: Indigo Flame, her online alter ego, has a wide social media following。 Aided by a royal diversion she secrets herself off to NYC, where a bevy of colorful online friends show her how the other half parties。 The premise becomes hilariously convoluted in a comedy of errors。 As herself or incognito the Princess is a firecracker who casually gets herself into pickles just as easily as she escapes from amusing predicaments。 After Lili falls for a darling young artist, Indigo finds fiery chemistry with a masked stranger at a masquerade。Bad news: she can’t choose between them!Good news: she may not have to。It’s Book 3 of the Royally Pickled trilogy。 It’s good, filthy fun with lots of laughs and even more twists; regal hijinks with a ‘kaboom’ ending that will make you swoon。And frankly it reminded me of Eddie Murphy’s COMING TO AMERICA。 Just with spectacular sex。 。。。more

Sammi Dyer,
Not one royally juicy detail will escape my lips on this hilarious romcom by JJ Knight “The queen of romcom”。 All I’m going to say is DON’T miss out on the lighthearted antics of princess Lili。
Anna Marie,
It's such a great book! The detail the author goes into to describe Jesse's sculptures and sketches is really draws you into his art, allows you to experience it in your imagination。 It really made me understand his vision and his "sensitive artist" personality。 He FELT so much, not just in regards to Lili, but in his surroundings。 Lili's struggle to survive on her own was also very well done。 Having to put herself out there。 The author really did her research with this book。 I appreciated that It's such a great book!

Roxanne Blouin,
I liked the story, even though I wanted to strangle these characters a couple times lol。 It was entertaining, a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall I liked the story。
Angela,
What I liked most about Princess Lili is that she lives her life to the fullest extent。 Whether pretending to be the perfect princess or fronting as the infamous Indigo Flame, she takes her emotions and lets them fly。
Jessi,
My oh my! Jesse and Lili, and their alter egos, go from sweet encounters to super spicy ones in this epic romantic comedy!

So we get Jesse the gentleman as well as dirty sexy Z, and Lili the almost shy beauty as well as kinky Indigo。 I absolutely love how they complete one another! And that epilogue?? Brilliant!!

Laurie Murray,
I loved seeing the different sides of Lili and Jesse。 Lili has fled to spend time away from home and the castle and to live a little。 She meets Jesse when she literally falls to his feet。 Being a princess she has to take extra care to avoid being spotted。 She has an online persona that she has to use while in New York and she doesn’t realize that Jesse has put two and two together to realize that they are the same person。

Let me start this with I absolutely LOVE the "Pickleverse" and all its extensions given to us from J。J。 Knight- but goodness lawd Princess Lili and Jesse are something else!!Lili's story is NOTHING like any of the other royals (Royal Pickle - Leo & Sunny and Royal Rebel- Octavia & Finley)。 Yes, she has the same need for space, self-expression and freedom and finds her way to get away from the royal guards just like her brother and sister did before her- but that might be where the similarities e Let me start this with I absolutely LOVE the "Pickleverse" and all its extensions given to us from J。J。 Knight- but goodness lawd Princess Lili and Jesse are something else!!Lili's story is NOTHING like any of the other royals (Royal Pickle - Leo & Sunny and Royal Rebel- Octavia & Finley)。 Yes, she has the same need for space, self-expression and freedom and finds her way to get away from the royal guards just like her brother and sister did before her- but that might be where the similarities end。 Royal Escape is packed with humor and sweet moments between Lili and the handsome artist next door, Jesse。 But those moments between her alter ego, Indigo Flame and "the masked man" she met at the Vampire Ball? 🔥🌶 🥵🌶🔥 sweet cheese and crackers。。。 THINGS ARE SPICY and intense。 While the heat and intensity were phenomenal- I'm a little ambivalent on how I felt about the rest of the story。 I loved Lili's "Indigo Flame" influencer friends- the added a layer of fun and craziness that rounded out this romantic comedy。 And as I said before there were so many sweet and fun moments when Lili and Jesse were their normal selves but I also felt a little flip flopped all round with the story at times that made it a little harder to capture my attention the way some of the other stories from this author do。 So while this might not be my favorite story- I certainly appreciate parts of it 😉🥵 and hope this won't be the last of the Pickles or their Avalonian ties!! 。。。more

Beckie Johnson Lowe,
I had lots of fun, and enjoyed my first Pickle book。 Jesse & Lilli story was interesting and steamy。 Thanks for writing and wonderful book。
Linda Dossett,
This third book in the Royal Pickle series is one hot, steamy read。 Lili’s bid for freedom from her over bearing parents, is an excellent and entertaining game of cat and mouse, with Lili trying to avoid the trap。 An awesome addition to the series。 If you have not read these books, grab them now。 A great addition to your ever growing TBR list (if your list is like mine)。

There's nothing quite like this Pickleverse in contemporary romance, and it's reach is far and wide – across the US and even into Europe and the small sovereign state of Avalonia。 We've seen two unconventional romances from Prince Leopold and Princess Octavia, but no one in the kingdom, especially the king and queen, could be ready for Princess Lili and her royal disappearing act and where it leads。This premise is a little convoluted。 Okay, a lot convoluted, so either read the author's descripti There's nothing quite like this Pickleverse in contemporary romance, and it's reach is far and wide – across the US and even into Europe and the small sovereign state of Avalonia。 We've seen two unconventional romances from Prince Leopold and Princess Octavia, but no one in the kingdom, especially the king and queen, could be ready for Princess Lili and her royal disappearing act and where it leads。This premise is a little convoluted。 Okay, a lot convoluted, so either read the author's description or bear with me as I try to explain。 Princess Lili has never been one to go with the flow, but she's a smart, crafty royal and does all of her rebelling in secret through her alter ego as social media influencer, Indigo Jade。 Lili manages to stow away on the family plane while everyone is distracted by the birth of Prince Leo and his wife Sunny Pickle's first child。Lili scores a comp room at an influencer hotel and hooks up with her online beasties who live in New York。 With all the grace and dignity of a court jester, she stumbles through the doorway of the adjoining hotel room and meets Jesse Adams, a sweet, kind man installing his art in the hotel。 They immediately click and heart eyes abound。But wait。 Plot twist。 Indigo Jade goes with Drag Scream (the most OMGee secondary I’ve ever seen) to a masquerade ball and meets a mysterious masked man。 A man who she has insane, insatiable chemistry with。 A man she can’t seem to stay away from。 Now we have conflicted heart eyes。There are secrets upon secrets, and they all manage to converge in Denver, CO, where lots of Pickle members happen to be。 Let’s just say things get a little scary, a lot too close for comfort, and Avalonian laughing donkeys have found their way to Colorado。 Small comfort。I have to give props to Lili。 She may be an escaped princess, but she's queen of the “fake it till you make it。” Her stately upbringing and confidence, with a touch of false bravado, allow her to experience a life she's never known。 Jesse is her perfect match and so freaking swoony。 His artist’s heart and the way he cares about Lili secured him a place in my heart in no time at all。Yes, this one is hilarious, and I’m pretty sure that word is synonymous with JJ Knight at this point。 it's poignantly heartfelt as we watch Lili grow and blossom and form new friendships。 It’s also so freaking smexy I was afraid I’d be locked in the royal dungeon just for reading it。 I swear, my cheeks hurt from grinning, and it should probably be illegal to have this much fun reading a romance。 An epic, rewarding end to one of my all-time favorite series, this one is a royal reward all its own。 Make your romantic heart majestically happy and start reading it today! 。。。more
