Description
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 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 the first book I've read by Jenna Sutton. I can't wait to read more. I really appreciate the fact that she includes both Leo and Marco's story in one book. The love that they have for their women comes through clearly.

I thoroughly enjoyed both stories about two princes, one destined to be King, the Polar Prince, who has a problem with his popularity numbers and likability with his people, and the Playboy Prince, the younger one who has impulse problems until he is falls in love with the one woman who does not want him. Leo was on the donor registry but didn't plan on having to donate part of his liver while still alive, however, Tessa is dying of liver failure from an infection received when her doctor gave her an antibiotic her body could not process after cutting her hand. His popularity increases after the surgery but, of course, the King is not satisfied and wants more and leaks Tessa's name so she will do a media tour. Leo and Tessa have already gotten close in the hospital but close quarters everywhere else will they find true love?
Marco has been in love with Cassie since he met her. Hard to believe since he is the playboy who cannot settle down but he has been celibate for nearly a year but she doesn't want to give him the time of day. A mistaken identity hookup at the masquerade party leaves Cassie pregnant. When Marco figures out he is the father he does not give up until he convinces Cassie to marry him. He is over the moon with the thought of being a father but will Cassie feel the same?
Definitely recommend these fast paced stories that can be read in an afternoon!

Love in it's finest moment. Jenna Sutton is a keeper. Royal Mess is a duet that pays homage to the classic fairytale, by putting it's own spin on things. Love can happen at the worst of times. Tessa and Leo are proof that a little bit of faith can end up going the distance. Ms. Sutton keeps the dream alive with irresistible men (Princes no less) and ordinary women driven to face some extraordinary circumstances with their ability to love intact. Royal Mess is what humanity should be. A person willing to lend a hand to another in need.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."
This was my first book to read and review for Jenna Sutton and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite of the 2, is Prince Leo and Tessa's story. In their story, Tessa had an allergic reaction to antibiotics that caused her liver to fail, prompting her to need a liver transplant. Wanting to increase his public positive numbers, Prince Leo signs up to be a living donor, never thinking he would actually need to donate. Well, he was a match for Tessa. After the transplant, they become very close and quickly fall in love. These were amazing books and I recommend them to anyone looking for a good read.

OMG!!! Jenna Sutton is such a creative writer that her books are filled with fast paced, strong, thrilling, compelling structure storyline and well developed characters in a exquisitely brilliant royal romance in this boxset which had such spectacular stories that it was impossible to put down at all. I loved every single thing about these stories, the storyline, the characters, the passion and romance but I’m not gonna spoil these stories but I will say that it was an absolute pleasure to read them both. I can’t wait to see what this author writes next, if anything like these two books then where in for some amazing treat, I can tell you. I would absolutely and definitely recommend this book to all book lovers out there, go get your copy today.

Just days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big day, I can't imagine reading anything more perfect! Royal Mess is an absolutely delightful read! The duo of two standalone novellas is quick, but incredibly fulfilling. Both books broadcast the end results fairly clearly even the synopses are quite revealing. So there's not much of a surprise about the conclusion of the stories. But, they're incredibly enjoyable and satisfying nonetheless.
Prince Leo and Tessa's story is sweet and unique. The organ donation twist is an uncommon and refreshing addition to what could have been a staid and boring premise. Royal Mess is anything but stale. It's fun, fresh, and thoroughly charming!
Prince Marco and Cassie's story bucks the trends as well. You may initially think it's going to be another 'commoner falls in love with royalty' story. And it is that, but the surprise pregnancy trope makes it so much more! Marco and Cassie are a tad crazy, but completely perfect for each other.
Royal Mess delivers not one but two heartwarming and deeply satisfying stories. I am not sure which story is my favorite, I LOVE them both! And, I'm confident you will love them too!
