The Prince & the Player Paperback

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 26 ratings

FIVE STARS! "Sexy, Captivating, brilliantly sinful..." -Goodreads review
One crown prince; one "playboy prince"...
One con artist; one petty thief...
One twisted plot for revenge.


When Grand Duke Reginald Winchester is exiled in disgrace, he vows he won't go down without a fight. Crossing paths with Zee Wilder and her younger sister Ava at a gambling resort in Miami is the stroke of luck he needs.

Zee is the counterfeit courtier in Reggie's plan to humiliate Rowan, the controlled heir who kicked him out of the kingdom. In return, the sisters get a permanent spot on Easy Street.

If only Zee didn't keep finding herself in a clutch with Cal, Rowan's playboy younger brother. Ava's no help, as she finds quiet walks in the moonlight discussing poetry and leadership with the brooding, future king irresistible. Even more irresistible is kissing his luscious lips.

The whole plan is falling apart, and neither sister is sure she wants to stop it.

Cinderella meets Ocean's Eleven in this ADULT CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE featuring secrets, lies, royal high jinks, scams and double-crosses; breathless, swooning lust, cocky princes, dominant alpha future-kings, and crafty courtiers, who are not always what they seem. Readers 18+ only, please!

WOW!!! I LOVED IT!
The Prince and the PlayerWritten by Tia LouiseGenre Contemporary RomanceWOW! I LOVED IT!Ocean's 11 meets Cinderella is a GREAT way to describe this book! I was drawn in from the first chapter and couldn’t put it down. Thankfully I was kind of late to the game on this book, so I don’t have to wait to get the second one HA!This book has 2 main couples Rowan (The Crown Prince) and Ava Wilder, and MacCallum (Prince) and Zelda Wilder. Ava and Zelda are sisters who were orphaned and ran away from foster care and grew up in Florida. Rowan and Cal are of course royalty and live in the country of Monagasco. The book starts off with Zee and Ava working a casino where they are dragged into a scheme hatched by “Reggie” (who is the uncle of Ro and Cal).Now, I enjoyed this book very much. Yes, it is your typical romance story, but there are plots amiss and some suspense and I honestly couldn’t put it down. I like the author’s writing style. Her characters and pretty well developed. I really enjoyed how she alternated the point of view’s in the story (you heard from Zee and from Rowan). The character banter was hilarious and just the way that siblings act (that are close siblings that is).I am excited to finish up the series with the next book, however I think I would have been super bummed if I had read this before the second book was out… the way that this ended had me on the edge of my seat!I highly recommend you check out this book and others written by this author. They are well written, easy, fast and fun reads! Great book just to get your mind off things and just get lost in the world of Prince’s and Happily Ever Afters!***I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher***

    Zelda (Zee) and Ava are sisters who have made their way into a life of petty crime. they are propositioned by a gentleman named Reggie who is looking for revenge against his nephew Rowan, the now King of Monagasco. In exchange for not busting them, he wants Zelda to make him fall in love with her and then leave him by ruining his reputation. What Reggie didn't plan for was that Rowan would become entranced by Ava or that Zee would fall for Rowan's brother Cal, the crown prince. When Zee overhears something she isn't supposed to, the danger steps up and the story starts flying by fast.

    The royal lifestyle is new to the girls and there are some funny moments in the story and the characters are relate-able. Can't wait for the next book.

    “Tears heat my closed eyes, and I reach up to hold him, to wrap my arms around his neck, as we communicate in was words can’t capture.”
    Tia Louise’s The Prince & The Player is a refreshing take on your traditional love story. Narrated by two of the main characters, The Prince & The Player is the story of two sisters and two brothers and two hot and steamy relationships. Zelda and Ava Wilder, two Americans criminals find themselves in a sticky situation and make a deal which brings them to the beautiful fictional European country of Monagasco and into the lives of Crown Prince Rowan Westringham Tate and MacCallum Lockwood Tate, younger brother of the crown price, heir presumptive, captain of the Carabiniers and Duke of Dumaldi.
    This was my very first Tia Louise novel and I loved it, I am officially obsessed with this series! I am the first to admit that the story does start out slow as Tia creates her narrative and gives us the Wilder sister’s and Tate brother’s back stories. At the urging of other readers I took my time getting through the first quarter of the book and I was pleasantly surprised when I finally got reached the nitty gritty of the story and watched the Wilder sisters immerse themselves into the lives of the Tate brothers. By the time I finished the first half of the book I could not put it down and had to finish the story in one sitting. Tia Louise painted an amazing story that mixes just the right amount of dark, deception, sex and romance together.

    A sisterly need to protect. A twisty, mysterious plot, beauty, danger, games of chance, and some wicked great sex! Throw in 2 hot Prince's and you've got the start to another page turner from author Tia Louise. Add to that, Tia has crafted the story so well that it played out like a movie in my head. I know you'll thoroughly enjoy The Prince & The Player because Tia's books are addictive. Dig into the story of sisters Zelda and Ava, and the Princely brothers Rowan and Cal. Then get ready for more of the intrigue, love and sexiness when book #2 A Player For A Prince hits on September.20. #swoon

    I absolutely loved this book! The Princes are more than swoon worthy. They are funny and have such a great relationship. Zelda & Ava definitely haven't had it easy but they make it look easy with their quick wit and quirky schemes! It seems though that Zelda often gets caught up in nefarious situations and this time it leads her & Ava to the Princes. When the Princes & the Players start to have real feelings and trouble shoots up all around, the fun and excitement gets really intense. You will love Rowan & Ava. Cal & Zelda ❤️❤️❤️

    Tia is an exceptional writer. Keeps me on my toes. I don't want to put her books down. I am an avid NASCAR fan, so the racing portions really kept me reading way past my bedtime.
    I have to say, I have enjoyed all of Tia's books that I have read. Goes right to the fantasy side of me.

    I didn't love this one, didn't like many parts but it was an okay read!

    First it all felt weird to me like is it going to be four first person pov's or what, and then it became clear. But I got a bit irritated with how it run, but in time I accepted it and felt okay with it. It didn't go like how I thought it would go but in the end it was for best.

    Some things bothered me quite a bit like how Zelda is very protective of Ava and Ava isn't really like that? Many times when something happened she didn't even acknowledges it like Reggie comes to them when it wasn't the best situation and Zelda freaked and Ava was in blissful love.. Like don't you feel the change of air when people tense. When you grow up needing to be aware of your surrounding then it's quite irritating when she then does the opposite. To me that only proved that she cared not so much for her and her sisters situation and safety!

    Otherwise it was an enjoyable read with sexy time and all. I only wished it all ended in this one and it wouldn't be needed to read the other one, so at this point I'm not sure I'm reading the second one..

    Who doesn't love a modern day fairytale with a little bit of twist and turns. This story had two Cinderella's and both didn't think they'd fall in love with a prince. I can't wait for the next installment...
