From award-winning author Jenna Sutton comes a delightful duet of naughty novellas about two princes who discover that falling in love is messy… very, very messy. In Royal Match, Prince Leo’s icy demeanor has earned him an amusing nickname—the Polar Prince. Unfortunately, the king doesn’t see the humor. If Leo wants to secure the throne of Alsania, he must improve his image. Participating in … of Alsania, he must improve his image. Participating in an organ donation campaign seems like a good start. He expects to donate his organs on his deathbed, so he’s surprised to be matched with a complete stranger who needs his help now.
Tessa Lulach hates to admit it, but she’s a damsel in distress. When a handsome prince offers to save her with a hunk of his liver, she joyfully accepts. She can’t wait to feel like herself again and return to her beloved flower shop. Instead, her identity is revealed, and the quiet life she loves is turned upside down.
As Leo and Tessa deal with the nosy public and ruthless paparazzi, she realizes the Polar Prince is much warmer than he seems—scorching hot, in fact. He willingly gave her a part of his liver, but can he give her his whole heart?
In Royal Catch, everyone loves Prince Marco of Alsania, despite his reckless antics … or maybe because of them. So why does sexy schoolteacher Cassie Lulach prefer a boring investment banker over him? Wounded by her indifference, he has an erotic encounter with a masked woman at a royal ball who reminds him of the one he really wants.
After another failed relationship, Cassie is frustrated with immature, inconsiderate guys. Wanting to escape reality, she attends a masquerade ball and finds herself alone with a masked stranger. For the first time in her life, she acts on impulse, only to end up pregnant and absolutely clueless about the identity of her baby’s father.
When Marco learns of Cassie’s pregnancy and her plans to raise the baby alone, he promises to be there for her, hoping she’ll finally see him as more than just a playboy prince. But then he discovers she’s the woman from the masquerade ball and panics. Will the truth destroy his chance to win over Cassie, or will he convince her that they can have their own happily ever after?
Royal Mess is approximately 70,000 words. Guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers.

This is a two love story in a book and it is finding love for two royal brothers among two ordinary sisters. Both stories have a witty fun side and have some hot sexy times wrapped in a well-written story I loved Leo and Tessa story it is a unique wonderful read. It is great to read how the Ice prince meets fire and they both find happiness. The second story is about Marco and Cassie finding their happy ending. I loved the bumblebee and wolf story. But in this I didn’t enjoy so much it was interesting in the beginning but dull because they quickly confess their love toward eachother and not a lot interesting happens afterword.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly
This book has is made of two separate novellas about very different brothers. Prince Leo is the heir to the throne of a small European country and Prince Marco is his younger brother, the so called spare. As most fictional royal brothers, the heir is a proper bred young man ready to take his rightful place as king when the time comes and the younger one is total mess, living it up without a care in the world.
Royal Match is the story of how Prince Leo, the least liked member of the royal family of Alsania, ends up being an organ donor for a complete stranger and saving her life. The young woman in question, Tessa Lulach, is commoner in her late 20s, who owns a flower shop and a sharp sense of humor.
Leo and Tessa are an unlikely pair and their relationship blooms rather fast for my taste. Still, I liked the premise of the story and the way this couple comes together. The story line was original and it was enjoyable and entertaining.
In Royal Catch, we find Prince Marco completely changed a year after the events from the first story. He’s more dedicated to do good deeds than party all night and fall in bed with every available woman because he’s fallen in love with the one woman who doesn’t heed to his charms.
When Cassie finds herself rejected yet again by her latest boyfriend, she ends up acting out of character and having a one night stand at a masquerade ball with a stranger that gets her pregnant. When she seeks friendship and refuge in Prince Marco he finds the opportunity to find his HEA with the woman he loves.
Another enjoyable fast read. I related better to the characters and their situation and found the story more likeable than the first.
In all, Royal Mess is a nicely written, fast and entertaining read for those of us who like to read about fictional modern royalty.
