He’s the playboy prince, who always gets anything – and anyone – he wants
The one thing he didn’t want is a baby!


I’m Europe’s most notorious playboy, and next in line to the throne.
My trysts are legendary; I’m never far from the front page
But the clock is ticking on my freedom.
If I don’t find a blue-blooded bride soon, my royal parents are threatening to force one upon me.
And that’s not all,
The gorgeous Texan gal I hooked up with for one night only?

This was a great read. One night stand ends up with a baby. The characters are well developed and engaging with a brief night with loads of chemistry. The storyline flowed smoothly and kept me entertained.

I’m a huge fan of Layla Valentine and Holly Rayner and have read many of their books. I loved this one as much as I’ve loved all of the others. I really wish I could give it many more than 5 stars. “Prince Baby Daddy” tells the story of Christian and Jane-Ann. Christian is a prince and future king of Sigmaran, a small country. He’s a playboy and his parents, the King and Queen have decided he needs to buckle up, settle down and marry a suitable woman in the very near future or they will choose someone for him to marry. In a rash decision, he leaves and catches the first plane out of Sigmaran to Austin, Texas. Jane-Ann is a young woman who works in a furniture store. She decides to go out with a friend after work to a honky tonk bar. Jane-Ann meets Christian at the bar, spends some time with him and takes him home for the night. They share a hot and steamy night together and then part ways the next day. The story is well written, with a unique storyline and wonderful characters. Valentine and Rayner write in a way that lets me see the movie in my head rather than just reading a series of words. They throw in some twists and turns and ups and downs before the conclusion of the story. The story was full of conflict between Christian and the King and has many humorous aspects. I really hope you’ll read this book, I promise you’ll love it as much as I did.

WOW they did it again. The characters are awesome, especially Blakely. Again they are so great a describing places and I love the illusion that they set for us readers. Austin and Round Rock do exist so having a cowgirl hook up with a prince is pretty awesome.

This story is about Christian and Jane-Ann. Christian is the rebellious prince whose parent just informed him that his playboy days are numbered as they will find him a bride to settle down and be taken serious. He choose to run away and head to Austin Texas where he meets Jane-Ann who is your Texas girl having a good time with her friends. They meet, sparks fly, but end just as fast as Christian knows that she would not meet his parent’s standards. Time passes on and Jane-Ann finds out she is pregnant and is determined to not let him know in fear that he will hurt her by trying to pay her off – of course Blakely is a good friend who knows how to meddle. This book does have a happy ending, but it is one that ends in a new family for Christian or one for Jane-Ann away from Christian.

Christian is tired of how his father is trying to reign him in like he is already to hand over the throne. Now he is being told he has to settle down and marry whomever they choose for him so he packs up and sneaks off to the states. He ends up in Texas and in a hooky tonk right in front of Jane Ann. Jane Ann is a good girl and is tire of being labeled that so she decides that Christian is going home with her that night. The spend an incredible night together even with him telling her about him being a so called prince. But she gets upset when he keeps telling her that even a good girl like her wouldn't get his parents approval. So he ends up leaving when he is cut off financially. However Jane Ann learns not long after that she is pregnant and he is in fact a prince. Will she contact him to let him know about the baby? Will he go home and marry someone his parents approve of?

This is a great story once I started reading it I was captivated. The chemistry was sizzling hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Life's complicated when you're from a wealthy family, but when your royalty your time and face are not your own. So being rebellious or trying to find yourself or take vacation or meet up for a one night of fun with a stranger all get noticed. Unless you go to another country and just happen to run into a cowgirl.

It was suppose to be physical only especially with how he left and how he had this royal romance story to tell, except he was who he said and she was who she was and that match wasn't in heaven but it was monumental for bringing a secret baby into the world.

I really enjoyed this story. Some tears I shed and some laughs at the embarrassing points. It reminded me of a Netflix movie meets Hallmark and Hollywood.

I am so glad it all worked out in the end. Though I would have loved to see how his brothers took on their uncle roles and how Blakely is doing.

A page turner this book was for me. I felt their heart break and I felt her challenge at being alone with her pregnancy and then not sure what happens next when the Prince returns.

I have really been enjoying the Baby Scandal series and this one is no exception. Plus who wouldn't want to read about not only a prince but a prince who falls for a cowgirl? What an fresh matchup. Christian and Jane-Ann are great together. Jane-Ann is a confident woman most of the time her only weak spot comes when she begins to question whether he feels the same way she does about him. Christian is torn between duty to his family and country and feelings he has for Jane-Ann. He at times doesn't realize the way he may say something to Jane-Ann and how she may take it. Throughout the story he knows he is falling in love with her but doesn't know how to express himself. This couple is so hot and sexy together and the bond they share with their son is so sweet. I really liked this story and loved the HEA!

This was one of the best books I've read in awhile. I loved Christian and Jane-Ann. Christian is a prince in a small town in Europe. His parents are tired of him making the family look scandalous. He is a gorgeous playboy that hops from bar to bar and woman to woman. His father lays down the law that he is to be married in two years or else. He rebels and takes a trip to America where he meets Jane-Ann in a bar in a small town in Texas. They have a heated night of sex. But then he tells her that it can't be more than a one night stand because he is a prince and his parents would never approve of her. He goes back to his country and his parents try to arrange a marriage with someone he has no connection with. Meanwhile, Jane-Ann finds out she is pregnant. What will she do? She is afraid Christian will dismiss the baby as easy as he dismissed her.

a sweet royal romance between Prince Christian and commoner Jane-Ann , he's a playboy Prince who doesn't want to settle down yet but his parents have different ideas and choose a suitable woman for him , he leaves and goes to America and meets Jane-Ann , he leaves her after spending the night together and hurting her feelings by saying it won't go any further and that she isn't suitable for Royal life , follow their journey of surprises , fake engagement , ups and downs ,and more , a well written book with a fab storyline and some great characters , with drama , chemistry , a surprise , some steam and an HEA.

This story is just a really beautiful romance, love story, a royal love story no less, and it is absolutely sweet and charming but still a hanky is well useful on occastion for someone reading this story who is a wuss like I am... But all that aside, the storyline is quite good and the characters are great. Of course the prince is quite questionable but all is good that ends well... As we all love HEA there is no problem to the end of the story. I can not do any less than the four stars and think I would even have given it five had it not been for all the small typos that squeeced themselves inbetween.

Loved it. Prince Christian met Jane Ann in a bar (which wasn't surprising for him). The difference is it was in Texas as he had sort of run away from home after making his father the king angry due to pictures of being drunk and disorderly were published. He only stays a couple days as they cut off his money . The story tells how unhappy he is with what his father wants him to do and he misses Jane Ann. When Jane Ann finds out she is pregant she doesn't tell him as she doesn't want to cause him problems. Things get very interesting when he finds out about the pregnancy. It takes awhile for things to straighten themselves out but in the end, it does. Very good reading. I enjoyed it

I recieved this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review

Layla never disappoints. Here we have Prince Christian from, whom decides he needs to get away from all the media & listening to his parents about getting married to the 'Right' Lady. And it's during this quick decision that he ends up in Texas where he meets Jane -Anne, who's out going hard working, who loves to socialise with her friends. And it's during this one night that she catches the eye, well he catches her eye
We see how things turn around not just for him when he goes back to the Palace when he decides to give in to what his parents want him to do. But much more so for Jane - Anne.
Come in and see how Christian & Jane -Anne click & how their lives go until they connect again a few months later...

Christian is a Playboy Prince. The King, in order to tame him, wants him to settle down and get married. Christian decides to rebel once more and flies to America, ending up in Texas. Jane Ann is single, selling furniture, and having fun with her best friend Blakely. She meets Christian at a Honky Tonk and sparks fly. They end up spending a memorable night together, but the next morning he leaves, and is called back to his country by the King. Two months later Jane Ann finds out she's pregnant. She refuses to tell him, after the way he left. Will the Prince find out he has a son? Will they both find their happily ever after?

This is a story of Christian (a bored prince from a small European town) and Jane-Ann (she’s a very good girl, tired of that label so decides to go wild!) Christian’s father is laying down the law, he is to be married in 2 years. So he runs away. Goes to America where he meet Jane-Ann, they have one night of wild sex, he tells her he’s a prince (she doesn’t believe him) it can’t be more than a one night stand. He knows that his parents will never approve so once again he runs. Jane-Ann discovers that she is pregnant, but now he is dating someone his family approves of. Will she tell him about the baby? Will he care? Read on and find out, I think you will enjoy this book.

You have your playboy prince Christian who doesn't want to give up his play boy ways and adhere to what his parents think he should. So he runs off to the States and meets Jane-Ann in Texas. They hook up and she ends up pregnant. He has gone home after making it seem like a one night stand that makes her feel she is not good enough. Love her meddling friend Blakely. She has a great personality and you can tell she has only the best in mind for Jane-Ann. It has a lot of twists and turns and bumps in the road from there. I highly recommend it. A very enjoyable read. I received a review copy from booksprout and voluntarily review it.

If you love reading about secret babies and if you into royal romances then this is definitely a book you will love.
After another blow out with his father, Prince Christian packs his bags and jumps on the first available flight and finds him self in Texas.
Not only did Jane - Anne have a one night stand with a prince but now she finds herself pregnant..
Will Christian stand up for himself and fight to be with the woman that has his heart and child?
Or will he choose the throne and marry a woman he doesnt like?
Another great read by Layla Valentine and Holly Rayner.

Christian, a playboy prince who seems to find himself on the front page and not for the right reasons. His parents say it's time for him to settle down, he can find his future spouse on his own or his parents will find one for him. Enter Jane Ann, the one night stand from Texas, who just happens to end up pregnant, with his baby. Will she tell him about the baby? Will he end up letting his parents find him a bride? A good secret baby romance and fun book to read.

Read this book & be transported to Sigmaran

Let me preface this review by saying that this is the first book I’ve read from either of the authors. I stumbled upon the book by doing a keyword search in Kindle and I’m so glad that I did! This book was nothing short of spectacular and the authors did a phenomenal job of drawing the readers into the world of the characters in Austin, Tx and Sigmaran. I rooting for Christian and Jane-Ann to end up together and became completely invested in their story.

This is definitely a must read for people interested in romance and wanting a HEA!

The playboy prince has met his match, but then gets dragged away. These two go through hell to be together, the whole time believing it would never happen. This story tore at my heart and had me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. I really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing what’s next for this amazing author.

Cute

Not drama-filled, not really very believable. Certainly not ‘deep’.
It was cute. It was an afternoon escape from reality, something I rather enjoy from time to time.
It is not a book I would hold onto, with plans of reading a second time. But, it is one I would say is perfect for a rainy, or snowy afternoon, when you just want to relax and unwind. No great plot, no Scooby Doo Mystery to unravel. Just read and relax.

An amazing well written and very entertaining story. This fairytale storyline had me addicted page after page. It includes some drama, non lineage approval, Accidental baby, a steamy, night, meddling, and a incredible HEA for everyone. The characters are interesting and well developed with great sizzling chemistry.

He may be a prince but he is also a playboy who meets, love and dump women like a man changing his socks. His parents are now threatening him to find a bride or they will pick one for him.

The playboy prince reformed by his love for the mother of his child, who had renounced his throne to be with his family, his love and his son. This story has been rehashed too many times but it’s being swoon worthy never fades especially if the writing is good.
