Publisher's summary

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 they can have their own happily ever after?

Royally wonderful!

Two novellas, two princes and two wonderful romances! I thoroughly enjoyed these stories by Jenna Sutton. The first one is Tessa and Leo. Leo is preparing to become king, but with his poor ratings, he needs to do something to become favored in the public eye. Tessa is in need of a liver transplant and who better to come to her rescue than a prince? This is a sweet romance! I loved the chemistry from the first meeting of Tessa and Leo discussing mustard! It's a meltdown of the "Polar Prince's" heart and will leave you swooning.

The second story gives us the second in line to the throne, Marco. He has been in love with Tessa's sister for a while now, but has made no moves. Cassie has a one night stand and when she becomes pregnant, Marco is the one she can lean on. I loved their story, not only for their budding relationship, but for the way they are able to talk, and work through their uncertainty. Marco especially is a fun character who normally is full of confidence shows his more vulnerable side. Both brothers are easy to fall for and left me with a happy heart.

The narration of these two novellas brings royalty to life! You could not have a better voice to give us the confident princes than Jason Clarke. He gives Leo and Marco that regal feel, yet both are totally approachable. I love the way he gives them an emotional side making them seem so human! Tessa and Cassie need a voice that is strong and confident. Each have baggage coming with them into their relationships, but have definite ideas. Ava Lucas has a talent giving each their own style and personality, I love that she can make Tessa and Cassie stand on their own with inflections of their voices yet have a soft side as well. It's a narration you do not want to miss!

Royally Awesome!

Two great stories for the price of one. Both storylines were well done. Jenna Sutton is now an author I will keep an eye out for. Jason Clarke nailed both story narrations, however, it took me a while to overlook some of Ava's make narration attempts. That and the fact that sometimes I felt each story had a dragging on point made we mark down to a 4 even though if there was a 4.5 that would have been my true rating for these stories. I loved that one story just flowed so well into the other and they both had loveable characters, unique circumstances, powerful messages embedded within the storyline, steamy sex scenes and the best of all wonderful HEA. Enjoy. I finished this one lazy Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the escape from really.

I LOVED ROYAL MESS BY JENNA SUTTON !

Get ready for two great stories in one book! My favorite was Prince Leo and Tessa. Having a desire to increase his public opinion, Prince Leo signs up to be an organ donor. Tessa needs a liver and boom the two meet and fall in love. The love is sweet and sexy! It is well put together, the book keeps you wanting more. I am already a huge fan of Jenna Sutton so I kind of knew what to expect but WOW...she amazed me once again! I normally do not listen to audio books but I truly loved the narrators. I thought it made the book come alive. I got lost in the book it flowed so well. I HIGHLY recommend this book and if you are new to Jenna Sutton check out her other books, you will not be disappointed. My other favorite is Barreled Over.

Inspiring!!!!

I was moved by this book. At the end I had tears in my eyes.

Enjoyed the story but would’ve preferred less graphic descriptions

Enjoyable story but would’ve preferred less graphic scenes, more left to imagination. Overall good thiugh

Sweet hot!

I loved these unique stories, very original! They were sweet and swoony but also very hot. That’s a wonderful combination.

I thought the narration was fantastic. Ava Lucas and Jason Clarke both made these characters come alive.

Porn without Plot

This is porn without plot or build up and the rrlatiopnship doesn't feel earned. They are kissing by chapter 3 and having graphic, steamy sex by chapter 5

Oh My, Be Aware

First let me say I LOVE Jason Clarke’s narration and his performance is always spot on. The one star is solely for, unfortunately, Ava Lucas’ male voice. It was, for me, the worst narration I’ve ever heard. I thought this story had potential, but it was totally ruined by the sounds that came out of her mouth. Seriously, I feel the need to protect my fellow ROMANCE readers from having to experience it. That being said, this book turned out to be quite boring and the attached second book was a total waste of time. I’m going back just to read the reviews to see who gave it stars on the narration. Skip this book. So many other better books to listen to.
