Royal Mess is an adult contemporary romance that features two novellas all about sisters and there happily ever after, oh yes and their happily ever happens to be with princes! Firstly I really liked Jenna Suttons writing, from page one I was instantly hooked. For me novellas rarely satisfy me but both stories in Royal Mess really did and I think its in part to the writing of the stories. The way Jenna Sutton weaved the stories together was one of my favourite elements of the book. I also loved getting both POV's of our love interests I think this really made the stories flow perfectly.
The first story is about Tessa and Leo. Tessa badly needs a liver transplant and Leo just happens to put himself on the donor list and he's a match. Oh did I mention he's heir to the throne. Tessa and Leo's love story was a sweet one with many twists and turns in between. It also educated me as I didn't realise you could live donate part of your liver. I gave the first novella 3.25 Stars.
The second story was about Cassie and Marco and their story was my favourite. I just instantly was hooked and loved Cassie. And I was shocked by the outcome of something that happened at the beginning that propelled the rest of the story. (I advise you not to read the synopsis I think it gives too much away) I gave Cassie and Marco's story 4 Stars.
Overall I really enjoyed this collection of stories. It does have insta love and some situations where I did think how do you not realise whats happening but in the end I still liked them giving the collection as a whole 4 stars.
About ROYAL MESS
From award-winning author Jenna Sutton comes the story of two princes who discover that falling in love is messy…
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?
*****
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?
