My Review:

Royalty, princesses, crowns, and one bodyguard who is determined to keep her safe! Emma is the picture of everything graceful and beautiful. Just what a princess should be! Except she wants a normal life of her own, is that too much to ask? Enter her new bodyguard, Ryan Sterling, why did they assign her a guy? And a hot one at that! The story flowed beautifully and I loved the part where their friendship forms and they are forced to spend time together. I have not read the other books in the series and it was fine as a standalone novel. This is a great sweet romance and I highly recommend it to any fans of royalty books and romance readers. I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
