Publisher Description
Sparks fly between a playboy prince and an idealistic lawyer, but when the demands of the throne call, can they get a fairy tale ending?
Prince Leopold of Avelle-am-see is destined to rule his small European country. But he doesn’t want to. His entire life, Leopold has rebelled against the inevitable, gaining a reputation in Europe as a bad boy royal with a chip on his shoulder.
Skye Porter jams on researching complex legal issues, but with her lifelong speech impairment, she’s happy to pass the briefs off to another lawyer to argue. Just the idea of being in the spotlight makes her cringe. Two years ago, she dodged a bullet when her intense college fling with charismatic Leo ended when the bastard ghosted her. At the time, she’d had no idea he was a prince, or she never would have fallen so hard.
Now Leo is back, and the chemistry between them sparks just as hot. With his promise of secrecy, Skye surrenders to one more wild night. But when the press finds them together, Skye is tossed into a nightmare of tabloid photos, graphic memes, and a life in the public eye.
Can a reluctant royal and the girl next door find their happily ever after?

3.75stars-engaging and entertaining
3.75 stars—ROYAL COCKTAIL by J. Kenner is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, romance story line set in the author’s Man of the Month world. This is Prince Leopold of Avelle-am-see, and attorney Skye Porter’s story line. ROYAL COCKTAIL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from third person perspective, using present day and memories from the past ROYAL COCKTAIL follows the forbidden relationship between Prince Leopold ‘Leo’ of Avelle-am-see, and attorney Skye Porter. Three years earlier university students Skye and Leo met at the Austin bar ‘The Fix on Sixth’ and fell madly in love but weeks later, following their first night together, Leo ghosted our heroine, and in the aftermath Skye would watch from afar as the man that she loved and never knew was royalty, spent the next two years dating and manwhoring his way through Europe. Fast forward to present day wherein Leo would return to American, searching out the woman that had stolen his heart, hiring Skye’s law firm in an effort to ‘change’ up the royal laws in his small kingdom of Avelle-am-see. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Leo and Skye, and the potential fall-out as Leo is called home one final time.
ROYAL COCKTAIL is a story of secrets and lies; a forbidden romance between a commoner and royalty, a prince who must follows the dictates of the country he rules. In an effort to protect the woman he loves, a woman who struggles with an accident induced speech impairment, Leo walks alway but in doing so, destroys not only our heroine, but the man himself.
We are introduced to Skye’s friends Hannah and Bart; her father Tarlton Porter;as well Leo’s friend and security guard Jurgen. Several characters from the Man of the Month series make cameo appearances for cohesion and back story. The fast paced premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance struggles in the face of secrets and abandonment; the $ex scenes are limited but passionate; the characters are energetic, hurt, and determined.
A Royal Romance!
Leo and Skye's story is beautifully written, emotional, and heartwarming. I like Royal Romance! Skye is a beautiful woman, strong, and smart. Leo (Prince Leopold of Avelle-am-see) is handsome, and supportive. The world building is well done, and intriguing. This is a beautiful Royal Romance, and a great page turner. I enjoyed it.
