Having loved the first in the American Royalty series, I couldn’t wait to discover what lay in store for the oldest of the three Auprince brothers when reacquainted with the girl he loved and lost ten years previously.

My restauranteur Ethan is at the top of his game, but when Pascale, the one who got away, reenters his life as head of his security detail, will countless hours in close proximity be a recipe for disaster… or the start of something delicious? 💜💙💜💙
3.5 - "Are you following me..?" Stars!
We return to the American Royalty series with Ethan Auprince meeting his match and working through the inevitable romance pitfalls towards his HEA.
I’ve been given a second chance and I’m not going to blow it…
So from reading the blurb I was expecting to settle myself in for a good old Romantic Suspense read, but what I actually got was a book of two halves, the first half was firmly about the supposed stalker, but as that storyline fizzled out like a damp ...more

I fell into this book so easily and with such pleasure, I didn't really ever want to let go of my time with Ethan and Pascale.
This is such a fun, interesting storyline. I love that the heroine is the protector in this one, and I maybe especially loved how easily Ethan accepted and respected that. The chemistry between these two was apparent immediately, and I was just as much a sucker for Ethan's easy charm as Pascale was - which made their unorthodox romance a complete delight to read.

I love reading Robin Bielman. She has this ability to just put a smile on my face from the first paragraph. Sweet Talker is the standalone second book in Robin’s American Royalty series.
Ethan Auprince is definitely one of my book boyfriends. He is seriously a total dream. Pascale Nichol is a woman of principle. It could be said that she takes things a little too seriously. In Sweet Talker, these two will embark on a second chance at romance where the stakes are high.

This has been the hardest review for me to write. I swear, I've gone through 20 drafts before settling on this one.
Sweet Talker is book two in the American Royalty series which can be read as a standalone. This is Ethan's story and it packs quite a punch. It's a second-chance romance between two very strong personalities. There's quite a bit of light-hearted banter in the first half of the book.

Sweet Talker by Robin Bielman is the second book in the American Royalty series, but it reads as a standalone book. There’s really only one thing I have to say about Sweet Talker. I loved this book soooo much!
When Pascale is secretly hired as a bodyguard for a charming restaurateur in the public eye, she had her doubts about working to protect a man with whom she shared a past love story with a tragic ending. But as luck (and life) would have it, a second chance at love is what these two had bee ...more

Robin Bielman, you've made me a fan!
I'm so happy I stumbled across this new-to-me author. I love second-chance romances and Sweet Talker was the absolute best. Ethan was everything you love about a sweet, sexy heartthrob. His actions, the things he says, I just really adored him. Pascale was like a breath of fresh air because her character wasn't at all like I had expected. She fit the role perfectly as a Ethan's body guard and the banter between the two of them just made me love them a little b ...more

This book..... this book is another off the charts. Insanely sexy, this story checked all my boxes. Because Ethan Auprince! He's successful, hot as hades, sneaky as the dickens and absolutely all about Pascale, who he met some years back while on vacation and the two spent a month together when she up and disappeared. Ethan never forgot about Pascale nor she him and neither will you!
Pascale is hired by the Auprince family to keep an eye on Ethan unbeknownst to him, after he experiences some odd ...more

I enjoyed this book, but it honestly felt like two books in one. The first half was light and fun, as Pascale played “bodyguard.” Then suddenly ** spoiler here** she is a mom and making heavy decisions. While I liked both stories and angles, it gave me story whiplash. So, three stars for me.

Sweet Talker is the second book in The American Royalty series where the big brother of the family reunites with his first love. This story is sweet with sexy scenes and jokes that only this author knows how to make which makes the book even more adorable.

Robin Bielman is back with the second book in her American Royalty series and if you are looking for the perfect pool or fireside read, then your searching is over. This is it!
Brace yourselves readers for another Auprince hero in Ethan that will melt your hearts and leave you wishing these brothers were real. Sigh.....
But it’s not just the drool worthy hero you should pick this book up for, Pascale the heroine is a kickass chick who I adored. I kind of want to be her when I grow up. 😏

A second chance romance that I loved from the first page. Ethan Auprince might be a bit entitled, but he’s a real decent guy at heart. He loves his family and his friends, his job is his life, oh, and he’s not looking for a serious relationship. Until SHE walks back into his life again. The one that got away, his one true love, Pascale “Callie” Nichols. What he doesn’t realise is that she’s been hired as his bodyguard. Sweet, funny and sexy, with a little bit of angst. Great charactersI I love a

Just the name Robin Bielman puts a smile on my face! I’ve come to expect fun, sexy and excellent stories from her. Every book just keeps getting better and Sweet Talker was no different! Pascale and Ethan were wonderful characters in this second chance romance that has all the feels! I laughed, cried and swooned quite a bit ;) Sweet Talker is the second book in the American Royalty series and can be read as a standalone (I recommend them both!)
I think I would have enjoyed this one a lot more if I had read the first book in the series. I loved the idea that this author had for a strong heroine. But, other aspects of the plot fell pretty flat for me such as the suspense/mystery element to the story. Unfortunately this one just did not work for me in terms of plot, but I did like the writing pretty well and I'd be interested in reading more from this author in the future.

I loved this second chance romance! Robin Bielman never fails to keep me turning the pages with her books and Sweet Talker was no exception!
Pascale and Ethan had great chemistry and you just knew they weren’t going to be able to resist each other for long! Something unexpected happens in Pascale’s life though that impacts their future together and they both will have to decide if what they have together is worth the fight for their HEA.

A second chance romance that’s as sexy as it is sweet, Sweet Talker is a fast and easy read with great chemistry between the characters. Though it’s the second in the series, it can most definitely be read as a standalone since each book follows a different brother with a very different personality. This time, the focus is on Ethan, the charming restauranteur who is a bit of a ladies man. He’s happy with his life of wining and dining until a woman from his past resurfaces. Ethan and Pascale spen

SWEET TALKER had me hooked from beginning to end, even though there was, in my mind, a division within the story that begins in one direction and then takes off in another. I understood it, I wished it could have been an easier transition because I could “feel” that first half of the book and then on to the second part. It worked for me, I saw no reason to drop my rating because of the plot twist. And, in some ways, we almost need that first half in order to really ge ...more

Sorry to be the first 1-star, but I'm not a fan of this story, which is, frankly, a disappointment because I really liked book 1, Heartthrob.
This feels like 2 disjointed plot lines mashed up forcibly and fretfully. The first story arc is where the H needs a bodyguard (the h) because he has a stalker. (The mystery/action/suspense was lame, imo, and fell flat.) Then there's the story arc, in which, this is a second-chance romance. He never got over the one that got away (again, the h).

What would you do for a second chance at love with the one who got away? In Sweet Talker by Robin Bielman, the second book in The American Royalty series, Ethan and Pascale are reunited after about a decade apart. Someone is harassing Ethan, and his family - without his knowledge - hires Pascale to protect him. Pascale is an elite bodyguard but Ethan thinks she's just his new restaurant manager. Insert drama here.

Ethan is smart, sexy and he met the love of his life ten years ago during a summer break from college. But the girl of his dreams left suddenly and he never saw her again.

Sweet Talker is one of the sweetest second chance romances I have read in a while. Do you ever forget your first love? Ethan never has; especially when she disappeared from his life without a word. Ten years later, Pascale suddenly reappears as his newest restaurant manager but why did she show up at his restaurant? Ethan is thrilled to have a second chance with the one that got away but Pascale has a secret and a tendency to run from her feelings. After a shocking surprise occurs, Pascale think

I enjoyed Ethan and Pascale's story. I loved that she was the bodyguard, the one who was capable, and that it caught him a little bit by surprise. (There's a fabulous paintball scene that I am not going to spoil, but it was so much fun.) I also loved, without spoilers, that this really wasn't much of a story about one part of a couple keeping a secret, which is not always a favorite trope...it was, but, it wasn't, and I loved the way this wa ...more

Im not sure what happened between these two books but I was so disappointed. It was missing all the things I loved about the first book.

Sweet Talker is the second, standalone book in Robin Bielman’s American Royalty series, and it’s a swoony and sexy second-chance romance.
