A fallen Crown Prince.
A convicted criminal.
A scandal neither of us can survive.

I don’t do love. I do caregiving.

Halo House sends me boys who need structure, protection, and someone to teach them how to survive. The arrangement is always simple, always temporary, and never personal.

Until Soren occupies Room 3.

He’s soft, spoiled, and helpless in ways that don’t make sense—until I learn the truth.

The boy who calls me Daddy is the deposed Crown Prince of a European kingdom.

And I’m the ex-convict who should know better than to touch him.

A prince and a felon would be scandal enough. But Soren isn’t just any prince, and I’m not the kind of man a royal family welcomes into the palace.

I should walk away before the world discovers us.

But I’m already in too deep, and letting him go is no longer an option.

Welcome to Halo House, a haven for boys who have nowhere else to go. This multi-author daddy kink MM romance series is a shared world that follows vulnerable boys finding shelter, chosen family, and protective Daddies who are ready to love them exactly as they are.

WHAT I LIKED: 

  • I was surprised how quickly I was drawn into the book. 
  • The pacing was great and there were not really any lull moments. 

WHAT DIDN’T WORK FOR ME: 

  • The conflict with being framed at the club was quick; it could have been a little bit more drawn out. 

THOUGHTS: 

Overall, The Royal in Room 3 was a fast-paced insta love daddy/sub romance that worked well.  I would recommend it if you’re interested in the genre and looking for a faster paced book.
