It's a tough job being a princess, but someone has to do it
I have already enjoyed each one of the stories from the series "The Princess" by Alexa Riley:
1. "His princess" with the happy couple princess Alena and King Roman 2. "Stolen princess" with the lovestruck couple princess Giselle and King Karim 3. "Claimed princess" with the friends-to-lovers princess Heavenly and King Carlos 4. "Forbidden princess" with the lady-and-the-tramp story of princess Tabitha and bodyguard Vlad
This collection has all four stories plus a fifth royal one:
5. "Unexpected princess" with the misunderstood princess Star and persistent prince (second to the throne) Romy.
His Princess (The Princess, #1) Review :: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ★★★★ 4 STARS - Why? I really liked this over-the-top fairy tale. I totally in love with this fresh ambiance about royal family.
Stolen Princess (Princess Series, #2) Review :: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ★★ 2 STARS - Why? I did not enjoy story. Nothing hold my interest and I kept rolling my eyes until the end. Definitely not for me.
Claimed Princess (The Princess, #3) Review :: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ★★★ 3 STARS - Why? Everything happened so fast. Marriage and sex. A decent story with a lot of sexy times from alpha king.
Forbidden Princess (Princess Series, #4) Review :: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ★★★★ 4 STARS - Why? Apparently, this one isn't only about sex. There is a bit drama happened with Tabitha and her mother. And Vlad fight for her. That make him different and more likable than other male in this series.
And for the very last of Princess series, I gave 3* STARS!
Just let's get to the point. Romy was a well known manwhore and Star is a princess I can barely remember. They're married when Star is in really drunk state but Romy stated that he already in love with her for a long time but not a man enough. Star isn't believe him at first but after his confession, she easily welcome him. Of course, they have dirty sex. It's all in Alexa Riley's books. Well, plus the breeding talks if you're up to it.
These stories were about deliciously brutish alpha heroes who were like predatory beasts and sweet, virginal heroines who were like lambs being led to the slaughter... if slaughter was a euphemism for a trip to pound town!
His Princess: Alena always felt different, the oddball in the family. Her best friend was also her sister and she couldn't imagine life without her love and acceptance. When it's announced that her marriage has been arranged, she becomes afraid of the unknown. However, King Roman doesn't intend to let fear rule his future wife. With an intense courtship and a willingness to do anything to make her happy, Roman proved himself more than worthy of Alena's love. Their breeding and happiness was just the beginning.
Stolen Princess: The entire kingdom is waiting for King Karim to choose a bride, but he wants nothing to do with any of it. He wants to marry for love and a ball full of available women isn't going to persuade him. And then Giselle walks in and she's everything he could have ever wanted and everything for him changes. Anything seems possible and he proves that he won't allow anyone to get in the way of their fairytale beginning. It was a tale of breeding and happiness!
Claimed Princess: This story was about King Karim's little sister, Heavenly and it ended up being a hot best friends to lovers read. I was a bit annoyed with Heavenly because she was 21 years old and acted like a fresh-faced teen, but I refused to let that get me down as her 'purity and innocence' fed into the story. And King Carlos being insanely sexy helped! Both protagonises were waiting for the other, loving each other from the start, and I loved watching them fall all over themselves to touch and love one another. Being inexperienced didn't hinder them ;)
Forbidden Princess: This story was about Queen Alena's sister. Although I already knew that Tabby had met her match with Vlad, getting the chance to read about their happy beginning was still a treat. Tabby was very protective of her little sister and wanted to ensure her safety and happiness, but when it came to her own, it was hard to picture. She knew she wanted to marry for love and had no desire to find a husband of royal blood. Vlad was perfect because not only did he really see her and want her for his own, while she's busy looking for her sister's happiness, he's intent on seeing to her own. He wants only to protect and honor her. To fall in love and be able to remain close to her sister was like Tabby's dream come true... with tons of orgasms to make it all the sweeter.
Unexpected Princess: This story was about King Carlos's younger brother. Prince Romy had one great love and she was Princess Star, but she never had a clue of his true feelings. Maybe if they had an honest discussion, they'd realize the true depth of their love for one another. There was some running and some chasing and the usual alpha high handedness and it all turned out to be distinctly hot and happy.
The first four books were rated and reviewed individually.
Unexpected Princess
A great ending to this series! I loved the story! I loved the series! For me, it's a perfect series!
The story is about Romy and Star.
Romy is a prince and second in line to the throne. His older brother, Carlos (book 3 H) is the king. Star is a princess and an only child.
She woke up in an unfamiliar bed not knowing what happened the night before and was shocked to see a ring on her finger. The man besides her reminded her what happened. The man she had tried to keep her distance because he has a reputation of being a playboy. She has a reputation too as a serial dater because no one seems to get past the first date.
They let people think that way but both of them only wanted to find their true love and they found it with each other.
It has a beautiful epilogue. I'm a little sad it's the last story. This series is really good!
Okay, I like Alexa Riley, you always know what your gonna get when you read one of her books. Thank goodness these were super short because they all had the same storyline.
An anthology of sizzling, sexy stories featuring modern-day princesses and the alpha males that love them. Some stories were more engrossing than others; some characters more remarkable and rememberable. Everything revolves around the hunt, capture, and mating of these young women pursued by future kings, second sons and more.
There are loads of steamy scenes with heaps of naughty language, and all the gooey-sweet insta-lurv this writing duo delivers in all of their work. At times repetitive and of course, predictable, each ending has time-forward epilogues for those who can't get enough of each couple. Not bad at all but definitely signature type Alex Riley fiction as always.
En la linea de toda la serie. La historia de Star y Romi no es de las mejores, es demasiado rapida e inverosimil, aun asi se lee muy pronto y te mantiene distraida un rato.
Crack for smut and safe readers I’m in heaven ♥️ ITS TOTALLY SAFE! Do you want your Royalty fix? Well then this is for you
V/ heroine Experienced H but no history they are not manwhores. There was one Duel V Passion, insta love, smut 🔥, romance and fuck… my drug of choice ❤️🔥
This is a fun Insta love novella with steamy scenes and a little drama 🥳
Passion, insta love, smut 🔥, romance and fuck… my drug of choice ❤️🔥 5 shirt novellas each story feels pretty fleshed out for being so short. I loved that they were each different to.
The bundle contains all the princess books including the bonus story of Romy and Star. Since I've already reviewed the rest of the series, this will be just for the new story. Romy and Star have loved each other from afar, but both have images and misconceptions about each other due to the notorious media. When they wake up married after Carlos's wedding, Star tries to run away but her father and Romy convince her otherwise. What follows is hot sex and heavy breeding. It's a very short story but extremely smutty with a yummy epilogue. Safe Book rating:5/5 Series rating:4.5/5
A lovely surprise by AR, Unexpected Princess is a quick, fast-paced, sweet and steamy novella. Star and Romy are going to stick inside your head even after you finish the story cause they're quite memorable and sugary characters.
If you love AR style then you're going to really enjoy this one as well, so I definitely recommend it plus it has two sugary epilogs and I'm looking forward to reading the next amazing story the authors are going to create!!!
I'm reading this for the bonus story at the end. Sometimes you just need some safe, brainless fun, that's OTT sweet. :)
No character development, unrealistic portrayal of a royal family, and an OTT alpha prince. I'd forgotten about the coarse language in books by this writing team and will probably pass on Alexa Riley from now on. I remember the previous stories as being sweet, not crass, but I guess my memory's faulty. Thanks for all the safe palate cleansers. :)
The Unexpected Princess was short, sweet, and sooooooo steamy I'm still fanning myself! Romy and Star were so sweet and sexy together! Romy was a caveman. Super possessive, obsessed and jealous! Loved loved his possessiveness! Yummy. And the epilogues were adorable and again we get jealous Romy. Also lots of babies! Perfection! ;)
For those who care I think it is implied that heroine is a virgin and we've been told hero has been celibate since he laid eyes on our pretty heroine.
This is the combined Princess books plus a bonus Princess book. I enjoyed reading each and every one. Each one has a dirty, obsessive King and virgin Princess to become theirs.... Sweet, insta love, dirty, sneaky, sex... Let the breeding begin.
The Princesses is a big bundle of royal happily-ever-afters courtesy of Alexa Riley. Included here are the first four Princess series stories, and an all new, exclusive-to-this-boxset bonus Princess story about another obsessed prince claiming the virgin princess of his dreams in a super smutty tale that Disney won't be retelling any time soon... or ever.
This is one of my favorite series from this author. No matter how ridiculous it got, the royalty plot is one I cannot resist. As it always happens with the last novella there's not a lot of conflict so it doesn't even feel like a complete story.
Caveman, OTT Romy is hell bent on having Star and I will do anything he can to get his hands on her. Star only wants a love like her parents have and she doesn't think playboy Romy could ever give her that!!
5 stories bundled together and for me they were fairly disappointing and repetitive. Guess you can't love them all and I have read many by Alexa Riley and generally do.
Alena's life was being planned for her and she didn't even know it. Though it was to be expected as it's her duty as a princess to marry whomever her parents deem is the most beneficial to them. Alena doesn't want to marry Roman, nor does she want to leave her sister and best friend, Tabby. She and Tabby search for a way out, but when she actually meets Roman for the first time, she's suddenly no longer as reluctant to join her future with his.
Roman, the king, knew his life had changed just upon seeing one picture of Alena, his princess. He's anxiously awaiting their first meeting during a dinner with the families, as well as their wedding in one week. His best friend and right hand man, Vlad, shouldn't enjoy teasing Roman so much as Vlad's about to experience it soon himself.
Alena soon learns Roman is nothing like he's portrayed to be, at least not with her. He's a gentle giant willing to do anything to make her happy. Roman discovers Alena is perfect for him in every way.
Will Roman be able to wait for the wedding? Will Alena realize Roman truly cares for her? Will Tabby accompany Alena to her new home? What's happening between Vlad and Tabby? I won't ask if Roman and Alena will get their HEA because Roman will ensure it happens.
One-click now and follow along as the king falls in love with his queen due to one picture. This book has everything you expect out of this duo and as always, is a fantastic read. This is book one of a trilogy and I can't wait to see which character finds love next.
Stolen Princess (Book Two) -
Giselle, finally been able to leave the house, was excited about attending the royal ball...until she got there. Yes, Giselle is a princess and part of the royal world, but only on the periphery as she and her Dad don't really interact within that circle any longer. Seeing all the women in attendance, hoping to catch the King's and become his betrothed, cements the fact of how out of place she truly is with everything happening around her. When the room she's taken sanctuary in welcomes another escapee, she's not sure what to do upon learning he's there for her. But as he bends down to kiss her, she can't do anything but happily accept his mouth on hers.
Karim, knowing he can no longer put off the demands, err suggestions, he choose a bride, and reluctantly agrees to hold a ball for all the single ladies (haha, you sang that as Beyoncé, didn't you? *snicker earworm downloaded*). Karim, seeing the love his parents had for one another before their deaths, knew he wanted the same thing. A love match, the woman truly meant to be his, believing he'd know her upon first glance. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened and he's resigned himself to do his duty and marry for his people instead of love. But then she walks in.
"She was mine the instant I laid eyes on her, and I pity the man who tries to take her from me. If anyone steps between me and what's mine, I will end their life." - Karim
Neither Karim nor Giselle can believe how intense the chemistry and connection is between them. Karim knows he's found his Queen, and Giselle believes she's finally found someone that understands and accepts her as she is. Giselle knows of the outdated law regarding princesses saving themselves for their husband, and though she hasn't yet been given her mystery man's name, she's already accepted she's his. But when Giselle learns his identity and hears the whispers that he's chosen his Queen, and being informed of the woman, Nikki, everyone believed he would choose but can't do to her lack of a title, Giselle tearfully escapes, refusing to be his dirty little secret or second choice.
Will Karim find Giselle? Will Giselle believe he has never touched nor intended to marry Nikki and that she is and has only been the daughter of his father's friend, and an annoying nuisance at that? Will Karim and Giselle get their...okay, I'm not even finishing this question. It's an Alexa Riley book, people. We all know it ends with a HEA, because that's what this duo does and we love them for it.
"You taste Iike you belong to me." - Karim
One-click now and follow along as insta-love runs rampant for Karim and Giselle. Now I'm already counting down to Caught Princess, featuring Heavenly, Karim's sister, and her best friend, Carlos, which releases March 8th.
Claimed Princess (Book Three) -
Carlos and Heavenly have been best friends forever, though they both crave more, neither have confessed their love for the other. However, with Heavenly's twenty-first birthday approaching, the age where her husband will soon be chosen for her, Carlos's attitude had worsened. She figures maybe it's because the search for his own wife isn't going well, but as king he needs to choose one, even though it'll break her heart when he does. Plus, she knows their relationship will forever be changed as his queen won't appreciate, nor understand, their bond.
"I'm not going to be allowed here after you choose your wife." - Heavenly
Heavenly, believing she has the answer, suggests marrying Carlos's brother, Romy. Carlos will still be in her life, as will his mom, and maybe it can be a marriage in name only. But when Carlos's response is one of barely contained anger, she doesn't know what to think.
"He wouldn't treat you as you deserve to be treated." - Carlos
Carlos refuses to let Heavenly be with anyone besides him. He's been in love with her since the moment he saw her, but knew he couldn't make any move into she turned twenty-one, as per the royal law. However, any thought he had to protect Heavenly from speculation ends with her declaration, and his Mom's approval, to marry Romy.
"She will marry me. That's final." - Carlos
Unfortunately for Carlos, his awe over finally being able to claim Heavenly ends when she tries to give him an out with his proposal, believing he only asked out of pity, not because she was his first choice. She doesn't realize he was never the one looking for a wife...he'd found her years ago.
When Heavenly runs, Carlos quickly follows. It's time to claim his princess.
We all know this ends happily, so just get comfortable and enjoy a short, steamy read done only as Alexa Riley can do it. Psst...Yeah, they're both virgins in all ways.

"His gaze roams over me as if he owns me, as if he has personal knowledge of my body." - Tabby
"I glance down at the beauty next to me, and suddenly my chest hurts." - Vlad
But Vlad worries that as a princess she may already be spoken for, not to mention her parents may not be agreeable to her marrying the king's head of security. As for Tabby, she's never wanted the life her parents want her to have, preferring to have a normal marriage, one built on love, not duty.

"I know who you are.” - Tabby "I'm yours. And you're mine." - Vlad
However, Tabby's parents have never cared what their daughters want and have decreed Tabby will continue meeting potential suitors, believing her time assisting Alena at her new palace will be short-lived.
Thankfully, Vlad has a plan to keep Tabby, and it's one she eagerly agrees to.

Unexpected Princess (Book Five) -
Woah, that was quite a wedding celebration, that apparently ended in another wedding. Star had attended Carlos, Romy's brother's, wedding, and as usual, tried to avoid Romy. Not that she didn't like him, because she did, too much, but, according to all the whispers surrounding him, a lot of others did as well, and he reciprocated, even if only for a night. So why are they waking up in bed together, a ring on her finger, and Romy referring to her as "Wife," and him refusing to let her go? Then again, the media has labeled her negatively as well as a serial dater, but the majority of it is lies and she's looking for her one true love.
Romy has wanted Star since the moment he saw her, but as the second son has always assumed he wasn't good enough for her, a princess, unable to give her anything beyond what she already has. To mask his craving for her, his desire to make her his, he's allowed the rumors regarding his reputation to persist, instead of fighting them. Upon seeing Star's less than happy face regarding their union, he's only now realizing his lack of a response may have ruined any future he and Star could've had.
But Romy admits some shocking truths, ones that go against the media's image of him. Star has been the only one for him since they met years ago. As for Star, she's only had numerous first dates, never finding anyone she's connected to and been able to go any further with...until Romy.
Will Romy and Star admit their love for one another? Can they overcome everyone's mistaken perceptions of them? Do they even care? Nah, they've got each other and are starting their journey to forever.
One-click now and follow along as two people finally embrace the attraction they've always felt and discover an everlasting love, full of spicy sex and baby making.
