Once again Ian and Sofie are in an impossible situation, fighting their feelings for one another, while trying to stay safe. Will their love for each other prove to be the most dangerous game of all?
Read on for my thoughts on His Forbidden Princess. No true spoilers, promise.
Sophie and Ian had been in love as college students. At the time of their romance Sophie was just an exoticly beautiful student, it wasn’t until one fateful night that Ian learned the harsh truth. Sophie was a princess, the second in line for the crown of a small country. She had attended school as an average girl because she never wanted the crown, but her mother, the Queen had other intentions. Ian had harshly broken up with Sophie, sending her back home under her mother’s watchful eyes. He was older and understood that their lives would never, ever mesh. It was obvious that the Queen felt the same way. Two hearts were broken that night, two lives forever changed simply because two people dared to fall in love.
Today, almost a decade later, Crown Princess Sophie is in New York City. There is trouble in her country, terrorists are threatening lives if the Royal Family does not step down. Sophie is in America to talk to several officials about help for her country. While she is in New York City, her parents and younger sister were attacked and immediately the FBI Special Agent in charge of her protection detail has her brought back to her hotel. Angry and upset, the last person Princess Sophie expects to see walk into her hotel room is Special Agent Ian Stuart. The man she still loves, the man who sent her away and broke her heart.
Ian will do anything in his power to keep Sophie safe. Even if she is angry, at least she’ll be safe. Ian strongly suspects that someone inside Sophie circle knew of or planned the failed attack on her today. It is his plan to hide her in plain sight – at his family’s home on a remote and private island. He can better defend against attack from his family’s homestead, and even if it is painful for them both, at least she will be alive.
Just because a story is packaged within a novella, never assume that you will not be getting a full, interesting, intense and entertaining story. His Forbidden Princes was a completely enjoyable read. Sophie and Ian’s story is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. These two love each other and know the dangers of being forced together by circumstances. At times funny, at other times tense and action filled, this is a story that you need to add to your collection of really good romance novels to read soon.
I recommend His Forbidden Princess for anyone who loves romance and second chances. I was swept away into a truly enjoyable story. Pick this one up and sit back while you get lost in the story.
