The Lady of Royale Street by Thea de Salle

It’s exciting to find a series that you enjoy reading time after time. Last year I was introduced to the author and I have reviewed and enjoyed all three books in her Nola Nights series. The Lady of Royale Street is the third addition and I have to say, I just flipping love this series, and this book!

From the New York Times bestselling author of the NOLA Nights series comes a rollicking, sexy tale of opposites attracting in the midst of wedding planning.

Alex DuMont is everything his brother Sol isn’t: regimented, serious, and devout. Between twelve-hour workdays, service to the church, punishing daily workouts, and bi-weekly therapy sessions, Alex is, as Sol once put it, “a kettle perpetually whistling as it boils itself to death.”

So when Sol announces his marriage to Arianna Barrington, heiress and society sweetheart, Alex is the absolute worst choice to be his best man. Sol asks anyway and Alex reluctantly agrees. It’s only a week, after all, and Alex should be able to stop himself from throttling his big brother for a meager seven days. Probably. Maybe.

Theresa Ivarson is Arianna’s best friend and the maid of honor. A decorated photojournalist who interrupts her globetrotting to stand beside her friend, Theresa is beautiful, witty, and unafraid to speak her mind. So when she is faced with working with the best man from Hell, a Viking who doesn’t know how to smile, is bossy, and about as pleasant as a cactus, the sparks are bound to fly—and not in the good way.

To make matters worse, Sol and Rain’s wedding planner was hit by a bus the week before their special day, and Alex and Theresa find themselves at the center of a list-ditch effort to pull the wedding together. But when you can’t decide if you want to kiss or kill someone, something’s bound to break.

Review of The Lady of Royale Street by Thea de Salle

I have to say the character development in this book came as somewhat of a surprise. I love Alex’s character and to add a twist to the story, the author made him a religious man. So how to find a balance in a hot romance is a difficult task that the author took on. And she did it remarkably well.

I love when an author can find a beautiful connection between the characters. This author has done just that with Theresa. You go from hot and steamy to conflict and even anger between these two. The ride along the way is engrossing and super hot.

Easy to read and extremely well written all the way around, the mystery author, Thea de Salle is becoming a wonderful go-to for sexy romance done right. Now if I can convince someone to tell me who she is then I will be really happy!
