Personal Protection - 5 stars
Available now on Harlequin.com, August 1 from other vendors.
This was a fast, well paced book from start to finish. Prince Ivan is poised to take the throne of tiny Lukinburg and restore the democratic monarchy after a coup killed the king and took over the country decades ago. Remnants of the Loyalist faction make threats against his life and make it dangerous for foreign dignitaries to travel to Lukinburg. Prince Ivan goes to Kansas City, their sister city, to rescue the trade talks and negotiations to help his new government and his ailing country.
Carly Valentine is a KCPD undercover investigator. Her new assignment is posing as Ivan's date and personal friend for the week. Her mission is to discover who in the prince's entourage is trying to kill him and put a stop to it before the prince or innocent KC citizens are harmed.
I liked Carly a lot. She was tough and capable on the streets chasing bad guys. She also took care of her dad and brothers and loved to cook. The one area she turned awkward and fumbling in was posing as any man's date, much less a prince.
Ivan was a great Hero. He was kind and gentle and just a little geeky. He also felt stongly about his duty to his country and sacrificed a lot to shoulder his responsibilities. He wanted to be a normal man with Carly but had no trouble wearing his authority when necessary.
Of course, there has to be a twist to give the foreign prince and the down-home KCPD gal their HEA.
This is a quick read and fast paced, but the romance and action balanced well. The characters of the H and h are what make this one a 5 star read for me.
*Safe read - no triggers, no OM/OW drama, no cheating
