From USA Today bestselling author Kat Mizera comes a brand new series of standalone royal romances. Meet the sexy men who protect the royal family and the strong women who make them fall irrevocably in love… years in the shadows, I’m about to be forced into the spotlight.
As head of security for the royal family, I’m being pulled in a million directions as my family works to rebuild our country.
But I only want to look in one direction: Lennox Briggs.
She’s a thorn in my side and has been since she was brought in as the first woman on our security team. She’s more than qualified, but a distraction I don’t need. Getting involved with her would be a mistake.
Too bad my heart—and other regions—aren’t listening.
After so many years protecting the people I love, how do I choose between my heart and my duty?
Because I definitely can’t have both.

Sandor by Kat Mizera is book 1 in the Royal Protectors series. We get Sandor’s story and wow! What a story. The relationship between him and Lennox is complex, intense and steamy. I enjoyed reading about relationship and I also liked reading about them separate of one another. They are both driven, intelligent, intense and alpha persons who are dedicated to their jobs. It was fantastic to see the chemistry between them and the angst that arose between them as they fought the chemistry.
There is awesome secondary characters and I can’t wait to read their stories. This was a great start to the Royal Protectors series.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
I was so excited to learn that Sandor was getting his own book and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Sandor is protective and loyal. Lennox is his match in every way. Can Sandor let go enough to fall in love? Sandor and Lennox do not get off to the best start but the chemistry between them was off the charts. I loved their story and hope to see them again.
I’m so excited about this author having people fall in love in their late 30s!! Everyone’s writing about find my love in their mid teens to 20s but I applaud this author for having mature people taking the plunge. Sander is of royal blood, a prince, and a bodyguard. He has been protecting Casey, the future queen and Luke the future heir for 10 years until they are reunited with Erik the King. Lennox is brought on the team to guard Casey and that doesn’t fly with Sandor because he is supposed to vet all of the people coming into contact with the royal family. so from the first meeting Sandor and Lennox butt heads. But that all changes when they challenge each other and Lennox kicks his a%$ all over the mat. He gains a a new respect for her and her abilities to guard the royal family. They move past their love-hate relationship more into a mutual respect for each other and then ultimately develop more intense feelings for each other. But it’s not all roses because there is still unrest in the country they are trying to rebuild. There is attempted murder, kidnapping plots and overall corruption. Will Sandor and Lennox be able to be together without causing a distraction? I can’t wait for book two in this trilogy!!
I received a complimentary ARC – early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This is a brand new series for the author and stars a bunch of bodyguards to the royal family. This story is different in that Sandor is not just a bodyguard but he is also a prince. And the heroine, Lennox works with Sandor, and he is also kinda her boss too.
It is a new series but also is in the world that the author wrote a trilogy for, the Nowhere trilogy that she wrote in 2019 which spanned about 12-13 years. I did not read that trilogy, and this story stands alone though Sandor is introduced in that Trilogy and a lot of the characters in this story were featured in that trilogy.
To be honest this story has a bit of insta-love/lust. At first Sandor and Lennox do NOT like each other, He does not trust her as he has no history with her and does not know her. And she thinks he is an epic jerk. But as they work together and learn to trust each other, they move very fast in deepening their attraction to each other.
I really enjoyed it and I loved Sandor and Lennox is one tough cookie who is perfect for Sandor. This promises to be a really great series and I cannot wait for the next bodyguard story.
OMG love Sandor! He is a alpha male that isn’t afraid to make his wishes known. In his world he doesn’t care who he makes upset as long as it is what is best for the situation. It is wonderful to get to see what makes him tick after seeing him in previous books. Also, it is great to see a alpha male have a part of his life that he is almost shy and unsure of. Lennox Briggs is a woman that I would love to be. She is a complete bad ass women that takes no prisoners and doesn’t care about taking on anyone that she has to. It was so heart warming to watch Sandor and Lennox both overcome their insecurities about love and relationships. They worked through it together with a little help from their families and friends. I can’t wait to see what the other books from the security team have to hold.
Loved these Royals!!
Sandor doesn’t like change without his ok. He is the boss. He is the one in charge. When he finds out Joe hired Lennox he doesn’t like it or her from the start.
Lennox is a strong independent woman working in a man’s world. She has had to prove herself time and time again. Sandor is no different than the ones before him.
These two butt heads from the get go but when the dust settles and they are forced to work together opinions change. And maybe even feelings.
This was a great book!! I loved the Royals and can’t wait to read more in this series.
This is the 1st on a new series and what a perfect beginning Sandor and Lennox’ story is. This is a well written story which is intense, passionate, and with sizzling chemistry. I look forward to reading more in this series and I highly recommend for all.
Sandor was always one of my favorite characters so I’m glad that he’s finally getting his time in the spotlight. Lennox was, as most of the female characters in this are, a smart, strong and tough kick-butt woman. I mean, especially since she challenged Sandor to a sparring match. This was a real page turner full of suspense and sexiness. I also enjoyed seeing Casey and Erik learning how to deal with their new reality with the kids and each other in Limaj. Honestly, not that I had a doubt, but this book was better than I ever hoped.
Sandor and Lennox’s was a wonderful read and the perfect way to kick-off this new series. If you have two iron-willed individuals and add in hefty doses of undeniable attraction, sizzling chemistry, plenty of emotional turmoil, tension, drama, danger and a fierce battle between duty and desire and you just know a book is going to be intense and moving. A great cast of secondary characters provides many options for future entries in this series and I can’t wait to see who’s story we get next.
Oh.My.God. I totally fell in love with Sandor and Lennox! They have amazing chemistry for a couple that have no downtime and it was great catching up with the rest of the family from The Royal Trilogy! Cant wait to see what comes next!
10 Swooning Princely Stars Good! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Sandor finally gets his own story and it’s filled with heart, love and passion. We met Sandor in The Royal Trilogy where he is devoted to his cousin Erik and his beloved Casey. Their story is truly sensational! He devotes everything to the safety of this royal family. Yes he’s the cousin… meaning he is a prince ! Does he deserve love? Does he expect it to find him? Yes to the first and no to the second. So when he meets Lennox he doesn’t expect being drawn to her and the need for her.
Let’s just say… when a prince meets his princess hearts are going to break all over the world tonight!
Why Ten Stars? Sandor deserves it….I finished this story with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes (good ones). Perfect start to a new series! If you love royalty and their love stories you need this book!
It’s rare for me to give a 10 star review. I gave 3 last year. Over the years authors write great stories… but exceptional they get the extra stars. Why? Well when a story gives you all the feels and all the extra… that’s what does it. This author Kat Mizera Kat Mizera… has earned this from me three times over my years as a blogger. She’s insanely talented… her stories are well researched and she dives deeper to make you love her characters and become invested!
Oh how the Royals are back…I’m so in love with Sandor. I couldn’t put this one down. It gave me the feels all over. Sandor and Lennox are hot and perfect for each other. Lennox is so strong and I love that she is Casey’s body guard. Lennox fits right in with the Royal family and it’s no wonder that Sandor is drawn to her. You feel for Sandor and what he went through with his cousin and now King Erik. I got a huge smile on my face with this one watching Sandor fall for Lennox. Kat Mizera did a phenomenal job bringing in the heat and that little suspense. I can’t wait for more Royal Protectors to come.
I love when an author realizes that people fall in love at all ages, not just late teens or early 20’s. This book was a breath of fresh air because of that. Sandor is a 39 year old hot, broody, control freak alpha male. He is also rich and a prince to boot. Lennox is a 32 year old bada**, tom boyish body guard dedicated to her job. These two rarely had time for relationships in their past, yet alone time to fall in love. They never really see each other coming but once they lock lips there is no going back.
I thought this book was very well written. It just flowed and I love that about a good book. I will admit I saw their drama coming. With Sandor’s controlling tendencies you could see it coming half a book before it actually did. I think that helped though because I was prepared for it. What I loved was the additional lack of drama for them, especially when it came to women and Sandor’s status. Lennox was strong enough to hold her own ground for the little bit that did and I loved it. Most of the drama centered around Erik and his family so there was still plenty but it wasn’t anything that drove me insane.
I loved all the secondary characters and really hope that Elen gets her own story. I think she would be fun to read, especially since I feel there is more to say when it comes to the drama surrounding this royal family. I didn’t read Erik and Casey’s story but feel that I should so I get a better understanding of their backgrounds and the whole family dynamic. I kind of felt like Lennox when she said she read the family background but still didn’t quite know all of it.
Sandor and Lennox were an amazing couple and I couldn’t be happier that they got their HEA. They deserved it and I’m glad they had the support to back them up. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
Mizera gives emotions quite a workout. Sandor doesn’t make liking him easy. He’s a heartbreaker who knows how to live in the shadows, but is forced to step into the light. Drama follows him. Love evades him and temptation lures him. Can his heart’s desire give him shelter from the danger that is coming their way? Mizera turns love into an adventure of the heart that will steal away with your heart. Nobody does romance like Kat Mizera. (4.5 stars)
Wow, what a way to start a series! I have always loved Sandor & Lennox is his perfect match! This book, these characters & the sacrifices they have all made for the greater good of their country, I’m in awe.
4.5
Mother-Fing-Swoon.
I adore Sandor and Lennox, both separately and as a couple. Things start off heatedly, then there’s a whole new meaning for passion between these two. They’re both insanely alpha and can kick arse like no other.
There was a ton of emotion that this book pulled out of me, and I loved every minute.
The way these two just fit together, is as amazing as this HEA romance.
I definitely recommend this book.
This is my first book by Kat and I have no idea why I waited so long. This book was phe-nom-en-al! I loved every word, every, minute, every, second. It kept my attention the entire time. I totally recommend this book. Looking forward to more books by Kat.
5 Stars
You are probably familiar with both of Kat Mizera’s incredible hockey series but I have to say, the Royal Protectors are a WHOLE new brand of HOT! I don’t know where Limaj is supposed to be, but if I was single, I would be on the first flight!
We previously met Sandor in The Royal Trilogy (which you must binge if you have not yet). He has been protecting Casey and her son Luke for over a decade and now his life has changed drastically for the second time in his 39 years. The thing that doesn’t change though, is Sandor. He is loyal to a fault, has a strict sense of duty and will always put the needs and safety of the Royal Family ahead of his own. He thinks he has his life figured out. He is devoted to rebuilding his home alongside his family and citizens while keeping everyone safe. What Sandor doesn’t expect, is to fall for the newest member of his security team. Lennox and Sandor don’t start out on the best of terms but it doesn’t take long for a mutual respect to grow. As these two strong, independent bodyguards continue to do their jobs and spend time together the attraction that lies beneath the surface cannot be contained for long. What follows is a love story that will make your heart fill with joy, pound in anticipation, melt from sweetness and stop in suspense, all while causing you, the reader, to become enamored with this beautiful couple. This book is a phenomenal start to a brand new series that is sure to be full of suspense, action, loyalty and most of all, love!

With Sandor, the first book in the Royal Protectors series, Kat Mizera has hit a home run. What a fantastic book! Sandor is Prince Sandor Gustaffson and also the head of security for the royal family. Sandor and King Erik are in Limaj when another bomb is set off at Parliament. Sandor and Erik head to Vegas where Casey is due to give birth at any minute. Erik makes it in time for the birth of his child, but Sandor is angry that Lennox is in place as a bodyguard for Casey, since he didn’t vet her himself. Sandor kicks Lennox out. Lennox thinks Sandor doesn’t want her because she is a female and challenges Sandor to spar with her at the gym. Sandor sees Lennox in a different light after she gets him to tap out. As Sandor and Lennox spend more time together, their feelings and attraction increase for each other. Sandor and Lennox give into their attraction and agree to keep their relationship separate from their jobs. Lennox is assigned as Casey’s bodyguard when the royal family heads back to Limaj. Sandor insists that Lennox move into his wing in the palace when her room hasn’t been renovated yet. Lennox worries how it will look, but Sandor says it isn’t anyone’s business. When the children slip away from the palace, Sandor blames himself for being distracted by his feelings for Lennox and breaks things off with her. Lennox is broken hearted and asks Erik for a favor. Lennox wants to go to Florida to visit her mother and be reassigned to Monte Carlo. Can Erik make Sandor see that his role has changed and he deserves to have a family, too? How will Lennox react when she gets a letter from her doctor about her IUD? Will Sandor go after the woman he loves? Can Sandor convince Lennox to forgive him and give them a chance at a future together? How will Sandor react when Lennox tells him she might be pregnant? I absolutely loved Sandor! Kat Mizera is an amazing writer who delivers with each book she writes. The chemistry between Sandor and Lennox is explosive and hot. I loved seeing so many characters from previous books in this book. Lennox is the right amount of kick butt and soft that compliments Sandor’s alpha male. I couldn’t put this book down and would highly recommend getting Sandor and any other book by Kat Mizera. I cannot wait until the next book in the Royal Protectors series, Xander, to come out. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
Such a fantastic read! Sandor is a Prince, and bodyguard to his cousin, King Erik. Lennox is new to the protective detail to the Queen. Things between the two don’t start off the best, and Lennox has definitely met his match. I simply adored Sandor and Lennox, their characters, connection, and chemistry. This book was absolutely incredible from the first page until the last and I loved every single page of it! A definite must read!
