Problem is, the only woman Ben has ever wanted badly enough to stop partying is Princess Pilar, the one he can never, ever have. Despite his fame and achievements, in Pilar’s world, she’ll always be royalty and he’ll always be a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who got lucky. He’d never be accepted. He knows that. Yet, when he spots Pilar partying at the same club as him, all bets are off. He’s determined to get her in his bed, even if it’s just for one night.

“I’d always liked everything to be neat and tidy in every aspect of my life. Until Ben. He’d made me want to give up all of those stupid pretenses. With him, I yearned to color outside the lines.”
Hot and sexy and great dialogue between these two characters. This novella was just a taste of this royal family and I love their relationships. I can’t wait to read more.

The Naughty Princess is a novella from the The Naughty Royals series. We met Princess Pilar in book 1, The Sinful King. I liked her from the moment we met her in that one and was eagerly anticipating her story. It’s a short and sweet novella between a royal and a soccer player. Pilar and Ben have met in the past and always had a crush on each other. They both happen to be in Ibiza at the same time. Pilar is a good girl, always doing the right thing and wants to let her hair down and let loose from her responsibilities. Ben is the opposite, a bad boy. These two had so much chemistry. There were also quite a few obstacles in their way. Everything moves really fast in this novella and I definitely wanted more, but it was an entertaining, quick read and I would definitely recommend this whole series. Now, just hoping we get a book for Aramis!

4 Stars!
Princess Pilar has devoted her life to the monarchy and serving the crown. She learned long ago she couldn’t shake her responsibility or her title. She was sheltered, innocent, and never the sibling to be caught up in scandal. She was prim, proper, and lived under a microscope. She had everything she could ever want, except freedom. She rarely let herself go, and was careful to never step out of line, but when she gets an opportunity to take a short holiday to Ibiza without her family, she takes it. A vacation from all her duties in France is just what she needs. Her trip takes an exciting turn when she realizes her longtime crush is also there at the same time.
Benjamin Drake is a single, rich, famous professional athlete with a reputation for being a playboy. The hot futball star doesn’t do serious relationships or commitments. He’s extremely private, and tries to stay out of the headlines, and avoid the tabloids. He didn’t trust easily, and to most was a mystery. He could have almost any woman he wanted, but the only one he seemed to crave was off limits. Something about Princess Pilar captivated him. He was intrigued by her beauty, and it was obvious she felt the same about him. Not one for following the rules, he wondered if he could have her without things getting too complicated. One night, no strings pleasure was all he could offer.
Pilar has yet to really live her life, and when it came to this sexy man she felt like she was in uncharted waters. When Ben was near she felt hypnotized by his touch, and being with him made her feel free. Their having fun together, but soon it turns into more. Can a royal and a boy from the wrong side of the tracks have a future together?
The Naughty Princess, a 1001 Dark Nights novella is a steamy, royal, standalone romance by Claire Contreras. I really enjoyed this story, and love this Naughty Royals series! I can’t wait for a book for Aramis!!!
This wasn’t such a short novella but it was entertaining and fun all the same. It did introduce me to this whole new world I didn’t know Claire Contreras had and now I need to know more of the other characters. Pilar and Benjamin are smoking together and all bets are off when he finally decides she will be his.
I loved the way Claire Contreras brought Princess Pilar and Benjamin together. The story is equal parts true love and hot sex. I enjoyed that Benjamin was friends with Princess Pilar’s brothers, so it was almost a forbidden type romance.
Funny, sweet and steamy in Royal way !
I was so impatient to read Pilar’s story !!! Gah I fall in love with Her in Sinful King, and for sure she was one of my fave characters. I couldn’t wait until I I will know Pilar more.
The Naughty Princess is a novella, not too long but very very hot ! Since the first paiges Pilar made me blushing hard. She and Ben got amazing chemistry together, from the begining. Their love story flow by thru the paiges, and I enjoyed it very much. Banter, and emotional level in Naughty Princess were at the point! What I liked the most ? That the drama in the background wasn’t too much overwhelming, so I could focus more on Pilar and Ben feelings. The only one propblem for me is the lenght of this book because I sooooo want much, much more !!! Pilar is amazing character, and I would like to know Her more, with Ben by her side.
„Sometimes, love chooses for you.”
A short novella that packs all the feels! I met Princess Pilar while reading The Sinful King and I immediately wanted to know the story of this polite, demure girl. And when sexy Benjamin Drake entered the stage? I was bursting from excitement!
Pilar knows what is expected of her and what her responsibilities are. Her life revolves around the Crown. On paper she’s the perfect princess – always nice and obliging, avoiding scandals and the spotlight. Benjamin Drake is a footballer who was Pilar’s crush for awhile. This rich and handsome guy is a player on and off the field. The attraction is definitely mutual, but getting involved with royalty will bring the attention Ben avoids, especially when it concerns his past and his secrets. The chemistry is too strong to ignore their connection. One night is not enough to get each other out of their systems. This bad boy and his naughty princess will have many obstacles to overcome, because what they have is special and unforgettable.
It was a quick and entertaining read, full of surprises and steam. I loved to see how Ben and Pilar couldn’t stay away from each other and how their relantionship evolved. The cameo from my favorite book from Claire was a wonderful treat. The Naughty Princess is a nice addition to the Sexy Royals series. Now my anticipation for Aramis’ story is even greater!
Such a fan of royal romances and Claire Contreras delivers a quick, sweet, steamy one with The Naughty Princess. Plus, I love me a sexy footballer! I loved Pilar and Benjamin’s romance and I’m ready and excited for her brother’s story!
Princess Pilar is wickedly good at what she does. She is a spitfire with a gleam in her eye. I love how she lays low with the family but she is dying to enjoy what life can bring her behind her royal walls. Benjamin was perfect for Pilar and she was perfect for him. I knew instantly that they would crash and burn. That is the best way to put their chemistry. They had my mind racing. I love the 1001 Dark Nights books and The Naughty Princess is a great Novella to get lost into!!
Oh Yes, Another winner from Claire!!! What a fun, sexy little novella to read!!! We meet Princess Pilar in The Sinful King, and I truly enjoyed her in that. She wasn’t what you expected of a princess. And seeing characters from The Player was so cool!!! Rich girl meets poor boy, rich girl falls for poor boy…this equals fantastic storytelling in my opinion!! I love Pilar and Ben!! They are fun and just the right amount of drama for the novella!! I wish they had their own full standalone, but this was perfect for a rainy weekend at home!!! I adored it!!!
