His Forbidden Princess

His Forbidden Princess is another winning novella for author Jeannie Moon. Ms. Moon is one of my favorite writers and every book that she pens guarantees a totally captivating experience for the reader.

Eight years ago Ian and Sophia fell madly in love while attending college. During their short but blissful time together, Sophie never mentioned that she was actually a princess, and second in line to the throne of a small, European country. Their relationship ended abruptly, but their love never waned. Now years later they meet again. Ian is a former army ranger and head of Sophie's security detail while she is visiting New York City. Sophie's country is in turmoil and her life as well as her family's is in danger. Ian ends up whisking her to safety, when Sophie's family is almost killed by insurgents. Spending lots of time together and posing as a couple reignites their feelings, which evolves into a future that neither of them ever believed possible.

I truly enjoyed this well-written novella. It is replete with great characters, a plot that twists and turns in all the right places, and an ending that will definitely leave you smiling from ear to ear. Overall, a solid read from an author that never fails to entertain.

(My review is based on ARC e-book provided by publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.)

This 110 page contemporary romance novella by Jeannie Moon is book #4 of a series called Royal Holiday. Since I have not read any of the three preceding titles, which have been written by different authors, I do not know if this book ties into them.

With its second chance at love theme between Sofia, a princess of a very small European country, and her former college boyfriend turned FBI special agent, Ian, the storyline revolves around Ian protecting her from terrorists bent on overthrowing her monarchy while she is visiting the US.

If you are looking for a sweet, quick read with an enjoyable but predictable HEA with only a couple steamy scenes, you may want to consider this one. For a novella, the author did a good job of character development and the story line was interesting. Most of it had the couple dancing around each other trying to deny their attraction after an eight year separation. Harlequin Romance fans especially will likely highly approve of His Forbidden Princess.

Title: His Forbidden Princess, Series: Royal Holiday (Book 4), Author: Jeannie Moon, Pages: 110, stand-alone, HEA, second chance romance, good guy hero, no love triangle, only a couple steamy scenes, one predictable attempt to hurt the heroine, no OW/OM drama.

I always enjoy a good second chance romance story and this one kept me entertained. I did feel like there was room to develop the story of Sofie and Ian more and give a fuller story but I still enjoyed it!
