About the book: Release Date April 19, 2016
Their romance led to a royal wedding in Once Upon a Billionaire. Now see how it all began for Princess Alexandra of Bellissime and American actor Luke Houston in this novella from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Clare.
As heir to the throne of Bellissime, Princess Alexandra is supposed to be cool and calm…not crushing on a movie star. When she hears that Luke Houston is filming a scene for his next movie in her tiny country, however, she can’t resist sneaking onto set to get a glimpse of the Hollywood hunk.
When Alex is almost caught on set by the press, she ducks into the first available hiding place—only to find herself in Luke’s private trailer, and getting much more than just a glimpse of him. It’s an up close and personal encounter that sets her heart aflutter, and sets her mind on some very unladylike plans to get to know him better…

REVIEW: HIS ROYAL PRINCESS by Jessica Clare is a prequel novella in the BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB adult, contemporary, romance series. HIS ROYAL PRINCESS falls in the timeline before Once Upon A Billionaire (book 4) and follows the relationship between American actor Luke Houston, and twenty eight year old Princess Alexandra of Bellissme. Alexandra (Viscount Griffin’s cousin) and Luke were first introduced to the reader in book four. HIS ROYAL PRINCESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.
Told from dual third person perspectives HIS ROYAL PRINCESS focuses on Princess Alexandra’s ‘crush’ on American actor Luke Houston. While Luke is filming his latest movie in Bellissme, Princess Alexandra finds herself on the set, hoping for a chance to meet her favorite actor. What ensues is the forbidden but building relationship between a member of the Bellissme Royal family, and one of America’s most popular actors.
HIS ROYAL PRINCESS is a sweet and simple read. The relationship is a quick build between two people whose lifestyles are utterly different but a relationship built upon trust and love. But an innocent comment by a member of Houston’s team, finds the Princess heartbroken and wanting to run from the man that she loves.
The $ex scenes are limited; there is no graphic sexual language or over the top sexual situations. The story line is quite tame and reads somewhere between YA and NA. The character building is limited-the story line focuses on the current relationship and not the past. There is very little anxiety, angst or conflict-Jessica’s usual writing style feels absent as though someone else wrote the story.
